" The atmosphere alone is worth a visit to Little Mexico! It’s vibrant and fun, even if the food didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I found my dish average and lacking that authentic Mexican flair. However, the friendliness of the staff really made the difference for my evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Little Mexico. The atmosphere is lively and colorful, making it a great spot for an outing. The service was attentive as well, which I appreciated. However, my food wasn't very flavorful. The spices seemed off, and the dish just tasted bland. I might give it another chance because the vibe felt nice, but the food needs work. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Little Mexico and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. The decor is amazing and really gives you a feel of Mexico. However, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations.

" I always have a good time at Little Mexico! The service is fantastic, and the ambiance is lively. I tend to order the tacos which are very filling and delicious. The only downside is sometimes the flavors aren't as strong as I would like. However, I always leave happy because the staff is great! " (*Curated Review*)

" Little Mexico has a vibrant atmosphere that we absolutely loved! The decor felt festive, and we were seated quickly. However, I found my chicken enchiladas to be just average. They didn't wow me in terms of flavor, which was a letdown. The service was impeccable; our server made sure we were happy throughout our meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
