Reviews
The best street tacos in town. My daughter enjoys all the meat selections, she gets the lengue (tongue) regularly. The food is always fresh and comes out quick Their breakfast is also very good. Cash only - atm inside
Amazing as always! My favorite homemade guacamole around. Wish the salsa wasn't pico...but still a favorite place to get authentic Mexican food!
Great Al Pastor tacos. My favorite in the Quad cities. Friendly staff and clean restaurant.
This is one of the best Mexican places in town! It is very authentic and the atmosphere makes it feel that way, too. Their chips and salsa are free and are very good but very spicy, so if you don't like spice, you probably won't like the salsa. You can never go wrong with their tacos; especially corn tortillas with cilantro, onions, and lime. Their margaritas are also very good and are not lacking in the alcohol department. The only downside is that they only take cash, so make sure you come with cash! They do have an ATM machine, but it has a charge to use it.
Best pico de gallo, chips, tacos, beans, and rice I've had in a LONG time. La Rancherita is a casual, cozy restaurant with friendly service and incredible food. I got lengua and carne asada tacos with a side of rice and beans and was BLOWN AWAY. I will definitely be visiting here when I pass through. You can't miss it!
