"I Liked it so much I went back twice!!! I had the pleasure of stopping into Little Mexico during business trip to the area. I had heard about it from the staff at the Best Western Crawfordsville (See my Review). This local spot serves great food, its very colourful and staff there are fantastic. From the moment I sat down to time I left I was treated very well. The server took his time to go through the menu with me, and although the offerings are quite substantial, I decided on the classic Carne Asada, with an ice cold Carta Blanca. The meal came with fresh homemade nachos with hot and mild salsa, beans, rice avocado and the server added shrimp to my meal as well. Everything on plate was juicy, flavourful and tender. The sides very good as well. This is a family run restaurant and since they treat you like a family member there, my portion size was huge. I was travelling all day with little time to eat, so the size was prefect, and i somehow managed to finish it all. I was so impressed with dinner that I went back the next day for lunch. Still reeling from the previous nights exception dinner, I had no choice but to go for lighter fare. The good news is even at lunch, if you ask you can dinner size portions. This time however i went for a lighter meal. For Lunch I had the Chimichanga de Camarone. The portion size good for lunch, and the meal itself was very fresh and easy. If I'm ever in Crawfordsville in the future, I will be having at least one meal here."
