    First of all, this restaurant was renamed to Las Palmas years ago. I enjoyed the food here three times before but tonight was a horrible experience. I ordered three tamales from the à la carte menu but was only served one. The waitress had to order up two more and it took at least 10 minutes for them to arrive at the table. They actually tasted pretty good, but they are the only tamales I have ever had that were served with a red sauce and cheese on top and no cornhusk on them. My wife got beef tacos with rice and beans but said she just couldn't find any flavor in it. When I got the bill, I noticed that two of the four items that we were billed for had the wrong price. The à la carte three beef tacos that I ordered for my daughter should have been 4.75 but they charged us $6. They explained that the à la carte tacos are crispy tacos and that we got soft tacos so they cost more. That is fine, but the menu only said beef tacos. There was no mention of them being crispy or the fact that soft tacos cost more. In fact, the waiter even asked me if I wanted soft or hard shell tacos when I ordered à la carte tacos. You would think he would have explained the difference but he did not. The waitress did adjust the bill as she should have to the lower price. She also adjusted the price for my tamales because they charged me an extra $.25 for them. Overall, the staff was friendly until I asked them to adjust my bill. The woman taking my money seem annoyed. I do not think I will eat at Las Palmas again.

    For Mexican standards, this place is very good. Average good salsa and good "hot" salsa upon request. Good service, overall very good and worth giving a try. Clean, festive Mexican decorated furniture, good service

    Great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. I ordered the 3 carnitas tacos dinner, my wife the grilled steak tacos dinner. Everything was great! I needed to ask for the spicy salsa (which is spicy and flavorful). I will definitely be back whenever we're in Dixon.

    I stopped through Dixon on my way from Chicago to Davenport, as part of my extensive road trip, and met with a few friends there for lunch. They recommended Fiesta Cancun as a good option for Mexican food close to the interstate, and on both counts, they were right! Fiesta Cancun offers a large menu, meaning you are likely to find any dish you'd like. Food is prepared quickly and arrives in extremely generous portions. I had the nachos, which were large enough for two to share easily. My friends shared a fajita plate. All of the prices were very reasonable and the staff was friendly and patient as we friends caught up and delayed our ordering and bill paying. A major point to note is that they provide an authentic Tex-mex experience, within easy reach of the interstate. I have no doubt that Dixon offers a variety of great restaurant options, but if you are coming on the interstate, it is a great option that won't delay you too much on time. For locals, it's a bit of a drive, but I'd like to think that Fiesta Cancun is worth the few minutes for a good experience.

    When Fiesta Cancun opened up in Dixon, I said to the Dude, "We should check that place out." After hearing about their gargantuan margaritas, I said, "We should REALLY check that place out." Last Saturday, we finally got our butts in gear and checked it out (thanks, Mom and Dad, for suggesting Mexican for dinner!). I had heard mixed reviews of Fiesta Cancun, but after eating there, I think the people who gave it negative reviews are more accustomed to the "Mexican" food that comes from Taco Bell. All four of us loved our meals. I ordered the #17 combo platter, which came with a bean flauta, taco and stuffed poblano chile. The chile, which I typically love everywhere I order them, was actually my least favorite item on the plate because the cheese was a bit too creamy for my taste and I wasn't thrilled with the sauce that covered it. The Dude had one on his plate and loved it, though, so I think this is just a personal preference. My taco and flauta were excellent! The Dude had a vegetarian platter and scarfed it down. My parents each had fajitas and had enough leftovers to be eating them for days. Oh, be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to select a meal - the menu is HUGE. The margaritas were delicious and a great value. The jumbo size was on special for a little over $5. When they say jumbo, they're not kidding. I usually order two margaritas over dinner, but having more than one of these (for me, anyway) probably would have led to me wearing a sombrero and serenading the dining room. I'd love to go back and try out the pitchers of margaritas...with a group of friends. The service was excellent as well. From the woman who seated us to the owners, everyone we spoke with was very friendly. A BIG plus in my book! The decor is also really cute and festive. I loved the brightly colored tables and chairs. We'll definitely be back!

    We were in Dixon Walmart when we saw Los Palmas, we decided to give it a try. FOOD: The food was very typical Mexican fair, made fresh, the three of us each had something different and all three of us liked what we ordered. 8 of 10 SERVICE: The service was good, One problem I always have at authentic Mexican restaurants, it's hard to communicate with the staff. That's not a bad thing it's just a fact, We all got what we ordered. 8 of 10 Atmosphere: Great!! If it wasn't -4 deg outside you would think you were in Mexico! It's also very neat and clean!! I will let you look at the pictures of the place 10 of 10 And the total is...... $31.15 + $6.00 tip = $37.15 dinner for 3 I would go back

    One star is too much for this place. Worse Mexican food ever, COLD, PRE-MADE AND UNAUTHENTIC Mexican food. Horchata tasted like it had been in the refrigerator for days. Don't bother with the complementary chips, stale and rancid. When "the food" came, the chicken tacos I ordered were cold and soggy. The waiter took them back blaming "the lettuce for making the tacos cold." He then brought New ones, warm and now slimmy this time around. Not worth it.

    We were headed to Chicago and decided to take a driving break for dinner and chose to treat ourselves to something better than fast food! We were so pleasantly surprised to not only be in the birthplace of president Ronald Raegan, but also home of some of the tastiest Mexican food we've had in a long time. This is close by the highway exit and worth the extra time to enjoy a delicious meal. The decor is a bit exuberant, but it made me happy! The menu is huge; I'd bet it is all good though. I had the El Mejor which was a combo plate of a beef burrito, chile relleno, and a bean tostada. Everything was traditional, flavorful and huge portions. Probably the best chile relleno I've ever tasted. My hubby enjoyed the quesadilla grande - another fabulous choice. The bacon and grilled onions sent this over the top in flavor. The cheese sauce was white, creamy, authentic and delicious. Nothing here was average as far as the food. Definitely 5 stars for the food. Our service was acceptable, considering it was a holiday weekend and they were not staffed for the crowd they had. My only concern (that took away a star) was my visit to the ladies room. No hand soap! Ugh, that means that the female employees didn't have clean hands, double ugh! The only good news on that front is that I didn't see any female employees. I'm praying that the cook was a male (and that they had soap in the men's restroom)!

    We were en route from Galena to Normal, IL, and stopped here for lunch. It was an unexpected pleasure to walk into this strip-mall location and find the authentic hand-painted furnishings and many festive decorative touches everywhere. It was cool and comfortable on this warm summer day. The friendly waiter brought us the most delicious homemade salsa we've had in ages. No kidding, this salsa was amazing! The chips were crisp and warm, freshly made too. With that kind of opening, we expected an amazing meal, but while it was OK, it wasn't anywhere hear the level of that salsa. My husband had chili rellenos, and said they were all right, but they were smothered in a very average red sauce, and too much of it. I had vegetable fajitas, which I liked pretty well. The menu had a great many choices for us vegetarians. Next time in Dixon, I know we'd return. The salsa was worth the whole meal, and the meal itself was pretty good!

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.
