The food in this place is excellent, it takes a little while for them to prepare it, the only downside is that the place is very rundown. He needs to be remodeled.

I eat there often, great value, more then enough to eat at one setting. If it's not on the menu they will still make it as long as they have the correct ingredients.

Our family has enjoyed Breakfast, Lunch, and Diner at this amazing spot for 10 years. Don Rafa and his staff have always been hospitable and friendly. The serving size is huge and we leave with full bellies each time!

Great food, friendly owners. Tacos were well above average, french fries were got, crispy and salty. I will definitely eat here again. The menu is full of great Chicago food as well as Mexican.

Lew’s drive-in is my go to place. Doesn’t matter what time of day. Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Prices are great and portions are huge. Great steak tacos, chicken sandwiches and the best burger in town period. A real burger. I like the Big Lew with cheese and bacon. Even their fries are great. Friendly owners, great service, great food. Sincerely, Clint from down the hill.....

Best bang for you buck in Batavia. Monster Burritos, Double bacon cheeseburger that is amazing and huge. You will never be disappointed going here. Do not let this little places appearance fool you. I would recommend this place over any around besides bulldogs. It all comes down to the budget. Still come here when I can. His steak nachos are amazing just like everything else he makes. Been coming here over 10 years and is still the greatest true family owned place
