Round up

A few months after Peoria's Chevy's closed, I hear Bloomington's location has now suffered the same fate.
If you are looking for Mexican food in the area, there are a lot of options. El Mexicano and Mi Familia have good authentic style food. Lorena's Mexican Restaurant and Jalapeno's are a great option if you'd like to add a cerveza or margarita to your meal.
This Saturday we had dinner at Tequila's Mexican Bar & Grill in Washington while they had a live mariachi band in house. Our meals and service were good, and the band lent a fun festive flair to our experience.

Oooo, thanks for reminding me! Los Jimadores is great, and it's become my day before Thanksgiving lunch tradition!

Los Jimadores is the best. They also have a restaurant in Princeville. Short road trip for a great meal!!

I haven't found another Mexican restaurant that compares to Los Jimadores. I'm in the St. Louis suburbs and have tried just about every Mexican restaurants around... need to venture into the city more, maybe I'll find one there. Every time I visit my parents back in Peoria, they know that a trip to Los Jimadores is in their future.
