Voted as one 2011's BEXT Mexican Restaurants in McHenry County, many dishes at Taqueria Las Cumbres…read morelive up to the hype. However a few dishes, as well as some plating designs are a little lacking. The Ambience was pretty stark too. But the Service however was friendly and informative. I particularly enjoyed the "Pariliada". Some dishes that missed the mark were the Chicken Enchiladas Verde, and the basic Taco Plate. Overall, Taqueria Las Cumbres is worth a visit, but not unique enough for a special occasion.

My boyfriend and I went on a date here a couple nights ago and our server was wonderful, very…read moreattentive! And the food was very delicious! I got quesabirria tacos and my boyfriend got a burrito dinner. It's a very chill vibe (or it was when we went but it was a bit late when we went). Very good pricing, service, and atmosphere!

Hard to get food here. First time visiting, I was redirected to another Mexican restaurant. Maybe…read moretheir grills were down. Second time visiting, standing outside waiting 5 mins while they cooked and never turned around to take my order. At least tell me wait a moment. Don't think they want my business here, but maybe the food is good.

These tacos are absolutely delicious! Located outside the Shell gas station and yum! They are…read moreamazing ! We had them last week and I loved them so I came back! Tacos are $3 each they have asada, Al pastor, pollo, chorizo , Cabeza , lengua and Cecina they also have burritos $12, quesadillas $12 and tortas for $12 each! They don't have drinks just soda but no alcohol! Lameeee but it's ok you can buy your tacos to go and make a delicious margarita at home yassss! Lol it's authentic not a fan of that salsa tho, the green one is good not the red tho unless you like chipotle chilis then ok. I'll post a pic of my tacos in a bit , lots of parking and it's a good food truck! Just drive safe getting here , they are that good! Yummmmm!

The restaurant is not for inside dining so be prepared for ordering to go. I ordered enfrijoladas for $12. I've never had them and didn't know what to expect. The price was somewhat steep but the portion and weight was definitely hefty. The food was scrambled eggs layered with corn tortillas, beans, cheese, and sauce. I wasn't crazy about it but it is more my personal taste with corn tortillas. This happened to be a solid dish and I would recommend checking them out.

New little gem that we stumbled on after checking out Savers next door…read more This is a New Mexican Grocery Store that opened up about two months ago. Nice, organized & clean. Large meat/deli section. We were hungry and discovered their little counter order restaurant within the grocery store. Between the 2 of us we had the Mexican chicken tacos with cilantro & onions. Sorry - I took the pictures after I devoured most of the taco. It was very good & I highly recommend. They also had a counter where they sold ice cream. Maybe next time we will try that. They have another location in downtown Crystal Lake located at 131 N Main Street. The employee that took our order was very nice. English was not her first language so one of the other employees helped her ring up our order. We had our hot meal in about 5 minutes. We will return!

We'll stocked with all the Mexican candies , drinks , and meds as well as rompope and chicharrones , they also sell tamales and they are really good! The parking can be a problem but nothing bad it's downtown Crystal lake so there's parking near and 1 hour parking everywhere. I've gone early on the weekends and it's not been bad. It's small store but clean and full of items , they also have meats for sale and decent prices! The employees are nice , there's also barbacoa , and carnitas made fresh everyday!

Go here often. Enjoy the drinks, the service, the food, the everything. Take it in. I have been to Cantina 52 probably 4-5 times and ordered for delivery probably 3-4 times. All of the options are good on the vegan side, and the mocktails are also equally awesome. It's a nice location with some fun additions (the glasses, etc). Delivery is also a plus. Coordinate with them for private events is also a plus! Their take on buffalo/nashville stuff is great to me, but I think the only thing we didn't love was the vegan sliders. As noted again: Everything is very heavy. Doesn't mean it's not delicious, but you're going to want a nap after this for sure. Guac is on point, tacos are nice, just the burgers and so on are going to be a real meal and then some.

Best place in downtown Crystal Lake for hipster Mexican food. Cantina 52 isn't a big place so it's…read morenot good for big groups. It has a bar area and a few tables. For certain the name implies it's like a hangout. There's a pretty casual atmosphere along with a few TVs for watching games or something. Amazing it wasn't too busy. It's really not a big place so there's not much room. There were a few seats at the bar so we sat there. Pretty impressive menu. So many choices for vegans and vegetarians. It's about $6 for the cocktail specials, so check the menu board. The best of these is the Long Island 52, which is a pretty standard one. It's about $6 for tacos, which are the small street style you can eat in a few bites. We got some of the Herbivore Tacos. Has black beans, roasted corn, and vegan versions of chorizo and sriracha aioli. It's about $12 for nachos. These are loaded with tons of toppings. For sure it's got a lot to choose from. It's located on Brink Street close to the Metra station. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.
