We stop here often, and the food is good, traditional, Mexican faire in a small town of 550. Â
I'm amazed that this restaurant is located in Sublette off of US 52 on Main Street. Â You'd never see it if you were driving down the highway, but if you get a chance to stop by, you won't be disappointed with the food.
The service sometimes is less than desirable, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Â If you get the owner of the restaurant, she will work hard to make sure that you get everything you need. Â I've found that the other servers don't put as much effort to serve their guests. Â I've found that I'll get a beverage and nothing more until the food is served and then no more beverage as the check is dropped off.
Portions are great, and the food is wonderful. Â You'll find the best Mexican-based breakfasts anywhere in northern Illinois that is only served every Sunday but only on Saturdays during the summer.
Since Sublette is such a tiny town, I was surprised to find a couple restaurants here. The outside looks nice but the interior was lacking. They had a buffet but we decided to order from the menu. I had the Tampico Trio and asked for no beans. When my order came, there were beans. The enchiladas were ok. The beef was the best, then the chicken. I did not care for the cheese one nor the rice.
For a tiny town, it was ok.
