This was our go to restaurant when we had a taste for Mexican food, (the Chile relleno, and fajitas), but when we ordered our typical dinners, they were not the same and we were perplexed when both were in burrito form. Either the restaurant has a different owner or a different menu from the last time we were there. That's too bad, since we'll have to find another restaurant to go to now to find these dishes or make them at home ourselves. Since prices are high in general when going out to eat nowadays, we have to be choosy as to where we spend our money and it was rather pricey when these dishes came out as burritos and not the typical dishes we are accustomed to. The food that we did end up getting still tasted good, just wasn't what we were expecting. Update per owner reply. Since it's still the same owner, that's too bad that you had to change your menu or how you prepare your dishes. Not sure if we'll come back unless we want a burrito.

I was very pleased and did not expect what I got from a small town Mexican restaurant. All I can say is WOW, the chimichanga dinner was fantastic to say the least! I actually have to say one of the best I have had yet. Crunchy flakey shell OMG was so perfect. And this thing was loaded with steak, talk about awesome, then of course the sides, beans, and toppings for your chimichanga. Horchata was great, total 5 stars on this small town Mexican restaurant. We will do road trips to Harvard from Rockford for our Mexican night or day out. KUDOS.

Very good food. Salsa and both hot sauces were excellent. Very flavorful (not just hot). Pastor and steak tacos were great. Beans seem a little running but have excellent flavor and pair well with the thicker chips.
