There was a steady stream of customers ordering takeout, many of whom seemed to order the special fried chicken dinner. Victor s menu includes two pages of American cooking and four pages of Mexican dishes. It is one of the most comprehensive Mexican menus in central Illinois, and includes a list of Mexican breakfast dishes featuring macha con heuvos, chorizo con heuvos, heuvos rancheros, Spanish omelets and crab omelets. The restaurant has a complete bar. My colleague ordered Bohemia, one of about five Mexican beers available.
Bohemia is a light-bodied lager with a smooth taste and delicate bouquet.
Chips and homemade salsa came with the menus. Much of this appetizer is fried, but there are also mounds of diced fresh tomatoes, beans, onions, olives and jalapenos. There also were piles of wonderfully light Spanish rice and mild refried beans. The tamale was homemade and filled with shredded pork with a mild red sauce. All the items we ordered were relatively mild, with nothing triggering a gustatory sweat.
