Food is great, staff is friendly, but it seems near impossible to place a takeout order. I'm still not comfortable eating in restaurants, especially with covid numbers going back up, and the phone either rings endlessly (most common) or they answer and say they aren't taking takeout orders. I'm assuming it's due to a staffing shortage and they're usually busy with people dining in, so I understand, but it's disappointing.
We eat here every so often. Today was the worst and we won't be back. My wife ordered two cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. I ordered the El Sol which is one beef, one chicken, and one cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. We were given chips and salsa shortly after we sat down. That was good however the chips were not whole but were in pieces like you get in the bottom of a bag. The wait for our waitress to take our order was okay but I was beginning to wonder. We ordered and also asked for some queso. It came fairly quickly. The queso was very thin and runny. It was hard to eat it with chip pieces! We asked for another order of chips. It came and it was also chip pieces! Unbelievable. Our meals came. We requested more salsa. We were warned that the plates were hot. They were warm at best . The enchiladas on our plates were barely warm almost room temperature. Everything tasted bland. The salsa, the queso, the enchiladas all had little taste, bland. It was kind of discussing. Our waitress was sitting down in the booth next to us chatting with friends. She did that for a good ten minutes if not longer. We never got the salsa that we requested. We were never asked how was everything. We had empty beverage glasses and were never asked for a refill. We informed the manager as we were leaving. All he said was, "I understand." It could be a staffing issue like everywhere nowadays, but why allow your waitress to sit and chat while your paying customers are out of beverages and requested salsa? We won't be back.

Food is delicious! Amazing staff, prices are great!
We had a rather sizable group for a party & the staff did a great job taking care of us. Good food & a decent price, so I'll be going back soon.
Food is good, from experience in the past and used to frequent both local locations, but currently service in Valpo is awful. I just called tonight to order food and was told to hold. The man who picked up then proceeded talk to someone about money missing from a drawer and a customer not paying earlier. Okay, serious matter. That's fine. Then he started joking with his co-workers inappropriately for the next 5 minutes while we sat there hearing everything he said. Finally just yelled "Thanks for taking my order" and hung up. My husband wanted to call back because he knows I used to love eating there, but I do not want to give money to rude people.
My wife and order the shrimp cocktail (if it’s on the menu) at every Mexican restaurant we try. And I can say with all honesty, this was one of the better ones we’ve had. I had the pork and it was excellent.
One of my favorite spot to eat in town . My go too item is always the Texas nachos . The queso is awesome guacamole is top notch . La cabana chimichanga is my second favorite. All of the waitresses are super nice and friendly . Over all A+ and I will be a return customer .
Good Mexican food. Chile Verde is a must. Two can eat off of this plate. Good atmosphere, the bar is small,but has what you want. Good service. One of our favorite.❤️
Good food! Great service!
