    Watch out for cockroaches one was climbing on the wall next to our table it proceeded to make it way to the floor at which time I stomped on it n killed it out right. Disgusting to say the least.

    I really enjoyed my visit at LaPotosina. I have been a couple of times, its one of my sister's favorites where she lives. I took my husband the last time, he loved it! Great food, cheap prices, margaritas, clean bathroom, decent service. We will be back!

    I come here when I'm in the area for work, and bring customers here. The food is always great, and the wait staff is great. Wish they would open one up on NW Indiana!

    One of my favorite Mexican places in the U.S. The food is excellent and rates a 5-star authentic. I have eaten Mexican style food in Texas and in California (San Jose), and this place tops them all. I have eaten there for several years now, so the consistency has been there. The food is hot and fresh and extremely tasty, the service is "fast", and you can even get Mexican Pepsi :-), Modelos Beers .... I haven't tried their margaritas yet ... so I have to hold off on that review. If you are driving through I-74 and pass through Danville ... this place is the best place to stop for food between Champaign/Urbana IL and Indy .... (discounting the cities of course ... Since Danville IL is a depressed economic area, the prices are really good (comparing them to the Bay Area :-) ). What impresses me is how well the owner has improved the facility and how wonderful the service staff is .... I just wish I could speak Spanish to tell them so .... +-ADT

    Best Mexican food in Central Illinois. The salsa is made fresh, but it varies...some days it's that perfect medium "heat" and other days it needs some hot sauce added for my taste. I recommend the Pechuga Frita (Chicken Breast with grilled onions, cheese sauce, tortillas, rice, and beans), the Burrito Potosina with Shrimp, or the Shrimp Fajitas. The Fiesta Fajitas (steak, chicken, and shrimp) are also very good. Any dishes with "Colorado" in them are extremely spicy. I've had nothing on the menu that wasn't good, although the tacos and other ground beef dishes are unremarkable. However, anyone who goes to an authentic Mexican restaurant and orders ground beef tacos will probably think they are just fine. Treat yourself to a chicken, or shrimp dish which are excellent. The service is almost always excellent as well.

    Underwhelming vegetarian selection (basically: bean burrito, quesadilla, cheese enchilada, chalupa, beans, and rice, served in a variety of combos... also vegetarian fajitas), but the food was good, the service speedy, and the margaritas yummy and cheap. Given that the other options in town are mostly fast food chains or seafood/steakhouse restaurants, this is a solid, if not stellar, choice for non-meat-eaters.

    Great place for a quick bite to eat. I had the taco fajita camaron. It was large, hot, and delicious--and it came very quickly! Came with chips and salsa but no other sides, which have to be ordered separately. It was big enough for me to take half home again for lunch. My waiter was a little abrupt, but maybe he didn't expect to get a big tip from a single gal dining alone. He was friendly with the regulars, though, and there are a lot of them! Parking lot was practically full.

    The tomatoes were rotten! Almost made my guest vomit. A second guest's tomatoes were also rotten. You could smell it across the table. The waiter was not very concerned about it. Service was poor.

    Parking was easy in their private lot. The restaurant is clean and the decor is nice. It didn't take long to get a beer so the service is excellent. The bathrooms were modern and clean so that's always a plus! We had the fiesta fajitas and carnitas mexicanas and both were excellent. The prices were very reasonable. The only complaint i would have would be the salsa was a little bland. Other than that i would recommended this restaurant to anyone traveling through dansville!

    La Potosina is a pay-day favorite. It has been a Mexican-food mainstay in Danville for over a decade, and with crowds that keep this place hopping it's pretty clear that they have a good thing going. The service is prompt and friendly, even when there is a crowd. The burritos, fajitas and quesadillas are certainly good, if not exceptional. I'd skip ground beef entrees, the tacos, chile rellenos and enchiladas--they're the only real misses on the menu. There are some hidden menu gems here: The chilaquiles (stewed tortillas with chicken and cheese) are noteworthy; the pechuga frita (grilled chicken topped with grilled onions and cheese) and pechuga potosino (grilled chicken topped with grilled onions, peppers, chorizo and cheese) are exceptional; the botana (nachos topped with grilled chicken, jalapeños and four cheese quesadillas) is different and very good; and the camarones aculpoco (shrimp wrapped in bacon and topped with a spicy pepper mix and melted cheese) might be the spiciest dish in Vermilion County. There is another smaller La Potosina location at 3363 N. Vermilion Street--it was the original spot here in town and it has the same menu.

    Good I suppose if you are from Danville and you think salsa is supposed to taste like ketchup.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
