“ We were in Havana, IL, from Florida, to do work on my husbands parents house after the passing of my fatherinlaw. It was our wedding anniversary on September 14th, and we wanted a nice dinner to celebrate. Heard about the opening of a new Mexican restaurant called Los Charros Mexican Bar and Grill on Market Street. Decided to try it, and it was the best Mexican food weve had in years! The restaurant is very big and festive with outdoor seating in a courtyard. You are greeted instantly, and given chips and salsa when seated. I had a lime margarita on the rocks for 2.99. My husband had his favorite negra modelo beer. Both served in 2 or 3 minutes. As for the menu...it offers many, many choices, and a few dishes Ive not seen before. I asked our waiter for something really special, really authentic and he suggested MOLCAJETE. What a dish! It is massive and beautiful in its size and presentation! Truly one of the tastiest meals Ive had in a long time in any restaurant, including many in different cities in Florida. It has generous portions of beef, chicken, chorizo, vegetables, and my favorite, shrimp. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked. I had 6 large shrimp in this dish! The service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, efficient and upbeat. Our food was fresh, very hot and very tasty. Wish I could have had dessert, but I was so full! We had leftovers from my Molcajete to feed both of us the next day, lucky us! Havana is very fortunate to have this new restaurant. What a find! I highly recommend Los Charros. Ask the waiter for recommendations. Try something different like I did. I suggest Molcajete, of course! Plan to visit again when in Havana. ”
