Mexican Restaurants in C-U Put to the Test

Surprisingly enough, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois has an impressive collection of Mexican restaurants. My personal favorite Mexican restaurant happens to be the local, Fiesta Cafe. This is not intended to take anything away from the other restaurants.
Personally, I just like a plethora of things about it. For one, I like the hospitality of the place, with the friendliness of the waiters. But most of all, I thoroughly enjoy the refreshing margaritas. Just kidding. I really appreciate the authenticity of the food.

When I go to Fiesta Cafe, I usually either get the Bean Burrito, or the Enchiladas. Also, I know this sounds ridiculous for a Mexican restaurant, but Fiesta’s Mexican Fries are delicious.

My second favorite local Mexican restaurant is Mas Amigos. Now I’ve only been to this eating establishment a few times, but every time I was there, I heavily enjoyed my self, and I think my stomach would definitely agree.

When I go to Mas Amigos, I usually get the beef tacos or the enchiladas.

The restaurant that comes in my third place is El Toro. I really enjoy the food, but sometimes it seems that the cooks don’t really take their time with their meals. But I do enjoy the authenticity of the place. The waiters and waitresses also seem very nice.

When I go to EL Toro I get the Vegetarian E. That is a Bean Burrito, Enchilada, a Cheese Quesadilla, and a Tostada.

My fourth place is Dos Reales. And if you dine at Mexican restaurants, you are probably thinking “WHAT?! I LOVE DOS REALES!” I know this because I really only hear positive remarks about Dos Reales. But I beg to differ. Even though the atmosphere is nice, the food taste very microwave-type food. It always looks the same every time I go, and it comes very quickly. And I know that seems like a good thing, but that might be a sign that the food is already made and not very fresh. Don’t get me wrong, I used to like Dos Reales, in my opinion though, it has gone down hill.

When I go to Dos Reales, I usually order a Beef Burrito, a Bean Burrito, or a Quesadilla.
