Lorena's Mexican - East Peoria

Service is always good but the food quality is dropping.

Three stars overall based on great service only. Gave this a try, hoping to find a decent Mexican restaurant in town. The place is nice enough and the staff is very efficient. The food? Meh. I had a burrito grande and it was good but definitely on the salty side. The very salty side. Might have been the marinated chicken. The wife ordered the chile relleno with a taco and got enchiladas with a taco. Happens. The server quickly brought out he correct dish and who knows what that was. It was a plate with rice, beans, and a huge blob of some cheese-like substance. No chile relleno anywhere. Took a fork and poked around the cheese goo and sure enough: two dime-sized pieces of chile were floating in it. That's it. Both pieces would have fit on a teaspoon with room left over. And, you guessed it: Salty. Seems to be theme with Mexican food in town: salty to the point of being inedible. Too bad, as we really wanted to like it and had such high hopes for a good Mexican place. I guess I have to make my own again. Minus the salt.

Good food, good price! Best Mexican food in Peoria so far, and I’m from the Southwest :

I love this place, they've got great food!! I do wish they'd turn the air up a little though.

I really love this place tbh but it’s the fact they recharged my card HOURRRSSS after I had ate there, in fact it was in the middle of the night and they Added themselves a $5 tip on top of the tip that was already given at the checkout of .77 cents plus the $5 left on the table. I’m beyond mad and quite frankly I don’t want to ever use my card again at a restaurant cause why are they allowed to change the amount and take money from you…?
