Reviews for Tacos El Paisa Forsyth il in Forsyth, IL
I just tried this place today, and I really appreciated how friendly the staff were to me. The guacamole was very fresh and well... seasoned, but the other food I ordered was not as flavorful as I would have liked it to be. Read more
The best Mexican food in the Decatur area
The food was amazing and authentic. The family that runs it are so kind and friendly. Definitely a new favorite.
For context, Birria is a tender and flavorful Mexican slow roasted beef or goat meat, (they use beef here). The meat is served... as tacos or quesadillas, and the broth produced by the slow cooking process is like a flavorful jus that is served alongsideyour meal. You then dip the taco or quesadilla in the jus, and when you finish it, you slurp the remainder of the jus like asoup! I moved to this area from Chicago and after tasting some of the Mexican food available in the area, I concluded that I?dhave to go back to Chicago to find a good ?QUESABIRRIA.? A little while ago a coworker told me about this place. I put it on mylist of places to try and I finally had time to order for pickup today. I ordered the quesabirria and some tacos and omg, thequesabirria did NOT disappoint! It was so delicious, and HUGE! I also had the house-made sweet hibiscus iced tea! It was sorefreshing! Not too sweet! Juuuust right! The only thing that would have made my meal better would have been some margaritas,but they don?t serve margaritas here? at least not yet! ???? Oh and the carne asada tacos I had here were great too; full offlavor and served on corn tortillas, like all real tacos should be! ???? The food is exquisite here! A true hidden gem tuckedinside a gas station convenience store in Forsyth! I suspect that with food this good, it won?t stay hidden for very long. Read more
I'm a lifelong mexican food lover, and i have no idea what awful spice is in their taco meat! It is disgusting! The parking is... WAY far off at the end of the gas station lot and the salsa isn't even free! Not to mention the cheese sauce is like water(tasty water) which i have to get a spoonful of on the chip. The Rice has some sort of tomato paste stirred into it, and thebeans are underdone (firm beans, liquid sort of consistency) would not go back. Would not recommend! Read more
