" I'm torn about Little Mexico. On one hand, the service was great and the decor was fun. But on the other hand, the food just wasn't impressive. My burrito tasted very basic and didn't seem like it had any kick to it. I think there’s potential for improvement, especially since a lot of people love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner with some friends at Little Mexico. The place itself is beautiful, resembling a bustling Mexican street which adds character. Sadly, the food was disappointing. The salsa was way too sweet, and the tacos felt bland without any real seasoning. Great service kept it from being a total loss, but I wouldn’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great service every time I come to Little Mexico! The ambiance creates a fantastic atmosphere that feels lively. I ordered the steak fajitas, but they sadly weren’t as flavorful as I had hoped. I enjoyed the crispy chips and salsa, but I think the entrees need a bit more attention to detail. Overall, still a decent place to eat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful dining experience at Little Mexico! The environment was colorful, and the staff were welcoming. I ordered the enchiladas and found them delicious, stuffed with flavors! The chips and salsa were an excellent way to start. My server was attentive and made my meal enjoyable. Can’t wait to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" A recent birthday dinner at Little Mexico was an adventure. The atmosphere was vibrant and bright, and the service was friendly. I ordered a combination plate, and while it was plentiful, I found the flavors rather lackluster. I enjoyed my time overall due to the ambiance and service, but I wish the food was more exciting.

" Little Mexico is quite a charming spot! The decor is exceptional, bringing a slice of Mexico to Mattoon. While the chips and salsa are delightful, I found my entrees a bit lacking in flavor compared to what I’m used to. Nevertheless, the service stayed on point throughout our meal and kept things enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I couldn't be happier with my experience at Little Mexico! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The decor is fantastic and gives a warm feel. I absolutely loved my chicken fajitas; they were sizzling and flavorful. The chips were fresh and I devoured the salsa! Our server was attentive without being overbearing. I left with a full belly and a smile on my face. " (*Curated Review*)
