The food was ahhh-mazing! Service was excellent! We came before sunset & we were seated in one of their dome cabanas at the back & it's quite a vibe. Seems like the only thing that's missing is the beach! Free street parking is a challenge esp when downtown Geneva is extra busy. read more

Hello Bien Trucha team, I'm writing with real disappointment. We made our reservation several days ago, Boen Trucha Wheaton, and planned our evening around it, as tonight is my birthday. Arriving to find the restaurant closed was genuinely disheartening. I've always associated Bien Trucha with care and hospitality, which is why this experience caught me off guard. I understand that things happen, and I'm hoping there's a way to make this right. If possible, I would truly appreciate any gesture or accommodation when we're able to return. It would mean a lot to turn a missed celebration into a redeemed one. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope to hear from you. Oh yeah. I received a cancelation at 7:23 for a 4 pm?? Warmly, Adriana read more

BIEN TRUCHA Geneva - Cancellation at 7:23 for a 4 pm?? Seriously - Mexican Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

Bien Trucha absolutely delivers. The chicken taco was incredible--so smoky, rich, and packed with flavor. The elote corn was just as good, creamy and perfectly seasoned. I also tried a non-alcoholic tequila drink, and it blew me away--refreshing, balanced, and honestly one of the best NA cocktails I've had anywhere. But the real showstopper? The churros at the end. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and ridiculously good. I'd come back just for those alone. From start to finish, every bite felt thoughtful and full of flavor. Bien Trucha is a must-visit in Geneva. read more

We came here for a pre-dinner drink, and I almost regret not just coming here for dinner too. We sat at the bar, which was tucked in a corner and ordered a couple drinks and guac. WOW. The drinks were absolutely delicious, and the guac was so fresh and punchy. Now that I'm writing this review, I think I need to convince my husband to go back here for a date night soon! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I recommend making a reservation as it's very popular. It's a quaint place as well so it fills up quickly. My favorite place to sit is outside on the patio. All the tacos are delicious and I like that they rotate the menu every few months so there's always something new to try but that they also keep the tried and true classics. It's hard to say my favorite taco honestly because they're all so good. The drinks are also really good and my favorite is the strawberry margarita. Worth the higher price 1000%. I would come here every week if I could. read more

Great taco spot for Geneva! They have such a cute patio. We started with the tilapia ceviche. It was my first time have ceviche with tilapia. They paired it with a mango salsa. It was okay- the texture was throwing me off. I ate the whole thing but, I wouldn't order it again. All the tacos were great, my favorite were the fish tacos. It had a ton of flavor. I would definitely come back. I would love to try their breakfast menu. read more

All in all - a good taco place in Geneva. Had heard about it for years and finally tried it last weekend. It's a very small place - I would say ~35 people can be in the dining room and on busy weekend nights - they open BTK Dining room next door. It was a tad confusing on the website what the difference in dining rooms were. They then have the huts outside somewhere - for more space. Our drinks were delicious - I got the Pepino spicy and my husband had the regular margarita. For food - we started with the shrimp fundido and then got half orders of the Octopus, Diablo, and Bien Trucha tacos. Our fave was the octopus. I thought the shrimp in the diablo was overcooked. All the food was good - actually quite good...but not worth the drive from DG for it. Numerous other taco places in DG for us to go to. BUT - if you're in Geneva - it's got great drinks and good tacos. read more

This place has gone downhill. Cramped, uncomfortable seating and now they have a 3% surcharge. I'm done with this formerly enjoyable place.

Weird little space--was it once a residence? A hot dog stand? No one knows, but the tacos are impeccable and they have an avocado margarita (ahuacatl) which is hard to find. This is the same restaurant group as A Toda Madre in Glen Ellyn. Our one beef: stop the 3% hidden fee nonsense. In the state of Illinois restaurants can use that extra money for whatever they want. read more

Tres leches cake is best in the area Portions are a bit small but the flavor makes up for it. We have tried almost all the tacos on the menu and the salsas are all amazing. It's very cozy and intimate. Because of that, a reservation is generally needed unless you go on off hours. read more

Terrible rude service over the phone trying to place a pick up order. I'm 9 months pregnant and have a gluten allergy along with my mother whom has celiac disease and we both wanted to order take out. I tried placing an order online and they showed certain foods were gluten free and you had to check a box to confirm there are allergies. Well I just wanted to make sure and double check that's these items stated on the website were truly gluten free so I called the restaurant to place the order over the phone instead. The woman who answered was overwhelmed and annoyed by my SIMPLE questions in relation to gluten allergies . She put me on hold 2x bc for some reason she couldn't answer my questions about gluten. This is a higher end Chicago suburb based Mexican restaurant and servers should be FULLY trained on allergies. Well... she didn't realize that I could hear her the 2x she put me on hold and I could hear everything she was saying about me (which was not nice). And mind you I'm a nice person and I was speaking to her kindly and respectfully. This is was so unprofessional and unacceptable at an establishment like this. I have NEVER taken time to write a review ever and here I am. Also HUGE mistake on their end that they are stating items are gluten free on their online ordering website when they are not. It's extremely dangerous for people like myself and my mother whom has celiac. read more

The food is outstanding! Interesting combinations & so fresh & delicious. The service across the board is great. Very cute atmosphere. Would strongly recommend read more

Love the authenticity of this place. Their tacos, margaritas are the best. I love the variety of their menu.

I've enjoyed Bien Trucha on quite a few occasions, but last night was the best visit yet. Our server Maddie had such an amazing energy which totally elevated the experience. People who are happy where they work cast a very favorable spotlight on the company. read more

Amazing food! We got the flautitas and Bien Trucha tacos. Both amazing! We ended our lunch with churro's. We had great service from Eddie and the outdoor dining area had all the right vibes! read more

Fantastic friendly fast service. Food was excellent. Best shrimp tacos I've ever had. Only negative was the outdoor pod.....we froze our buts off. Had a reservation and the heater hadn't been turned on beforehand. We could see our breath in the beginning and honestly it never warmed up much. We always try to get pods at restaurants that have them and have never been this cold in one. Definitely would come back but would sit inside read more

We received a gift card for this little gem and was not disappointed. We ordered drinks, a margarita and Pacifica beer. We started with the trio salsa appetizer, no longer on the menu. The salsas were fresh and spicy. We each ordered taco, the Bein Trucha and Carnitas, The carne asada were so good and covered with roasted serrano salsa. The pork shoulder was tender and so well done. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside on a hot, humid night and the indoor is intimate with cushioned benches. The service was excellent. Our waiter offered suggestions. A delicious Mexican restaurant in Geneva. read more

Oh my goodness, we've been to this spot a few times, and it's always a delightful experience! The shrimp tacos? Hands down, the best I've ever tasted! I can't recommend them enough. The shrimp is perfectly crunchy, paired with a scrumptious sauce, and the beets on top add such a fun and unique twist. We loved them so much that we ordered more after finishing our first three half-orders of tacos! The plates are on the smaller side, which I actually love because it lets you mix and match with half or full-sized orders to explore all the different flavors. We've also tried a variety of dips and drinks here, and every single thing has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is super attentive, and our dishes always come out lightning fast. A must-visit spot for sure! read more

Tried Bien Trucha - needed a quick place to eat lunch during my work day. Pretty good! I got the carnitas tacos - a full order which was 4 tacos, for $18. I asked for no cilantro or onions. Tacos came with avocado type sauce which was pretty good! Meat was fresh and reasonably generous. Overall enjoyed my tacos! Would recommend and will likely go back at some point to try other stuff. Parking is free in front of the restaurant. read more

If you're looking for a wonderful new place to hangout. This is your place! The atmosphere is festive and fun! Everyone is unbelievably sweet and kind. The service is fast and efficient! It feels like one big family! The food is incredible and high end without the crazy price tag.I will be coming back and sharing this incredible gem with my friends and family! HOUSE BEAN DIP AND CHIPS- Super flavorful, a little spicy, and unbelievably good! The chips are crisp and salty, the beans are silky with a little texture, the cheese is salty and it ties it all together. I will get this every time we come in! PAPAS - The papas were crispy potatoes with a roasted poblano aioli! Omg, I didn't know that I needed these in my life until I tasted them. They were crispy, crunchy, salty, smokey, and Zesty! I will get these every time that I come in. They are incredible! I'm counting down the days until I get these again. S I K I L P A K- toasted pumpkin seeds, serrano pepper, cilantro + chips Good flavor but, too thick for my liking. A little grainy. A G U A C H I L E D E R E S- This brilliant combination of hanger steak, avocado, red onion, cilantro, cucumber, crispy scallions, crispy garlic, in salsa negra is one of the best things that I've ever tasted. I've never had anything like this before! It was creamy, crispy, savory, spicy. smokey, and zesty all at once! The art of laying flavors was spot on. The hanger steak was a perfect medium rare with a crispy outside. I couldn't believe how incredible this dish was. I will be getting this again! CALABAZA- Loved the combo of grilled squash, charred panela cheese, pinto beans, and tomato-arbol salsa. The tortillas tasted fresh and soft. Everything tasted super flavorful and I savored every last bite! F L A U T A S D E P O L L O - These crispy rolled tortillas with shredded chicken, potato hash, crema, queso fresco, and morita-serrano salsa are such a delicious treat! They were light and crispy and filled with incredible shredded chicken. I'd say to get the créma on the side because, they're very generous. But, other than that! They were perfect! read more

Sorry to say it's not the same, maybe management has changed. The food quality is not the same, it's missing the depth in flavor, that is what I always thought was special. Also I am disappointed having purchased a gift certificate that 25% if it expired in 90 days. read more

Absolutely wonderful restaurant in St. Charles! We had such a phenomenal evening here, it is elegant yet fun, quick food yet delicious! We started out getting the three dips (I forgot the menu name) but it consisted of traditional guac, guac del Dia, and elote dip. All of them were delicious, my favorite being the elote dip! Then I got the bien truecha tacos (steak + chorizo) and the Al pastor. My mom got the carnitas, and all of the tacos we had were delicious! The one thing I would've hoped for is if we heard the specials of the day, because they had some really interesting specials that we probably would've tried. However, the tacos themselves were amazing. We also got an elote side dish that was THE BEST I've ever had! We ended the night with flan, and it was a memorable evening! read more
