    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.

    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.

    Food is solid and the drinks are great. Ambience is really cool and our service was amazing. Hospitality was off the charts and much appreciated

    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.

    Hidden 3% fee which does not legally have to go to employees? Come on.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    Does Bien Trucha have a large tequila menu, like their Naperville restaurant (Quibo)?

    Yes they do and a great selection

    Do they have high chairs available?

    Trust me in the fact that you will not want to bring a child to Bien. You are practically sitting on top of the table next to you. It would be a super tight squeeze even if they did have them

Our waiter was really nice and had no issue splitting the checks for us. The inside is nicely decorated, and the wall of tequila adds a fun touch. The outdoor seating felt a bit cramped though--where we sat, it seemed like we were super close to other tables, and it was a little tight for the waitstaff to move around. Overall, a really good experience! They weren't kidding when they said spicy shrimp--it was definitely spicy, but in the best way. The breading and flavor were on point.

My boyfriend had a variety of tacos (fish, shrimp, and ribeye steak) but the fish taco was his favorite. There were only 2-3 young men working the front of the house and they were hustling. They spoke very loud and clear (a good thing!) and stayed busy taking orders, cleaning tables, and checking on guests. Job well done to those hard workers. Inside is a bit tight. When we visited, a part of the restaurant was closed off for a party so seating was limited to the few tables up front. However, there are some tables outside and you're super close to St Mary's Park so you could always get your order to-go and picnic at the park.

Even though it is more upscale than your typical Mexican restaurant, the chips and salsa were still served on the house, which I appreciate. I really enjoyed the salsa, as it had a little heat and good texture. I got a regular margarita with my meal. While it could have used more salt around the rim, it was still good. The lime did not over power the tequila and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. For my meal I got 3 tacos with a side of their refried beans. I wanted to try their pork options, so I got two that were a Yucatan style and one al pastor. The Yucatan ones were fine but just not for me, as well as the beans, as they were too smokey. The al pastor taco saved my meal, as it was juicy and had so much flavor. Overall it was a fun atmosphere and nice dinner.

They brought a small bowl of chips and had three different types of salsa in plastic bottles (like the old style ketchup and mustard ones at diners) with three small dishes to put them in. Chips were thick, crispy, and salty. Not sure if they have free refills, as we finished our chips rather fast and they took the bowl away afterwards. I ordered the 22 oz strawberry margarita and it was probably one of the best margs I've had. Came with strawberry slices in the drink and a tajin rim. Great deal for $10. I ended up getting three tacos traditional style: Birria, steak, and chorizo. The birria one was really good, just wish the tortilla was dipped in juice like some of the other birria tacos I've had. It was my first time having chorizo, and I would order it again. The steak taco was good, but nothing special. Service was a little slow despite there only being one other table, but our table was talking anyway so it wasn't too much of an issue.
