Today was the grand opening so we thought we would try them. We have eaten at the truck in Rockford…read moreand love it. Not so much here. I ordered online. We go to pick up. Only two other people in the building. They couldn't find my order. I have to drive home since I forgot my phone. I get back and show the girl who is speaking English the whole time. She calls another girl over in English. Then they start talking in Spanish to my face. So rude. She puts my order in and says 10 minutes. No apology. We get the tacos and ask for hot sauce to find out they have none. Annoyed we leave to get home and find out no limes either. Then hubby finds a hair in his taco. Not good. Could of been so much better

I could not wait for this place to open! Stopped in with a friend of mine for lunch on opening day,…read morewhich I was a little leery of, because I'm sure there are kinks to work out. It wasn't terribly busy, the busy lunch crowd had come and gone. But we were greeted warmly and asked if we were dining in or carrying out. We wanted to dine in and were told to sit anywhere. We chose a booth by the window. The service for the first day was spectacular. Sweet, smiling servers eager to meet our every need. We first ordered water and a margarita while we looked at the extensive menu. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a bar. The quickly brought out chips and salsa. The chips were crispy and there was a small bowl of a greenish salsa, good flavor, but a bit too hot for me. There were 2 bottles of sauce as well in the little cart the other salsa came in. I tried each of those...again, good flavor at first then the burn. I had to keep eating plain chips and drowning my tongue in water. I alternated between my water and the frozen margarita I ordered. I feel like the menu was a bit more authentic than I'm used to, so I asked our server for something with steak. I don't recall the name of it, but it was nicely seasoned, thinly sliced steak, onions, jalapeños and tomatoes fried together served along side reddish rice and beans with a bit of cheese sprinkled on it, a side undressed side of lettuce and tomato salad. I asked them to hold the tomatoes in the steak and they accommodated.. I immediately dove into the steak... tender with good flavor. I went for the rice and beans and my beans were cold. The server came around asking how everything was, I told her the beans were cold and she immediately apologized and brought me some fresh refried beans, they had no cheese on them, but they were piping hot. So much better. My friend ordered a chicken burrito, she said the chicken was really flavorful and tender. My margarita was frozen, and you can request them either way, frozen or on the rocks. It had some kind of red spice sprinkle on it, maybe Tajin? I've had never had it that way before. Not much tequila, it wasn't strong at all. We had to ask for more napkins as there were none at the table. Otherwise servers were very attentive. The prices were average, but I would have liked to see lunch specials on the menu! I will try it again in a few weeks.

Found yet another locally owned Mexican restaurant in Belvidere. Gomez is actually pretty clean and…read morespacious compared to many others around it. It also has a pretty big menu. Actually impressive how much one can get. The prices are okay for portions. Coming here the first time we had assumptions about what it would be like of course. It's actually a lot better than expected. The thing is it still needs lots of improvement after several years. A lot of confusion about what got ordered. Pretty slow and took forever to get service. As with any of these places, there has to be alcohol. It's about $11 for a margarita. These come in a few flavors including peach. It's about $9 for the Vegan Burrito. We each got this and this is filled with avocado, beans, and other stuff. A lot of the menu is meaty. They have chips and guacamole for one of the few choices for vegetarians. A lot of authentic items. They even have tongue and tripe. Getting anything here is a chore. It's closed Mondays. There's not much to get for vegetarians.

If you're looking for bold flavors, warm smiles, and a food experience that leaves your taste buds…read moredancing, this food truck is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked up, I was greeted with friendly, upbeat service that made me feel like a regular--even though it was my first visit. The menu is a dream--packed with mouthwatering options that are both creative and comforting. I ordered the Quesabirrias, and WOW. Every bite was bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection, and served piping hot. You can tell they use fresh, quality ingredients and put heart into every order. The consume was delish by itself!!! Even though there was a steady stream of customers (a clear sign of their popularity!), the team moved quickly and efficiently, never sacrificing kindness or attention to detail. Whether you're grabbing lunch on the go or treating yourself to something special, this food truck is an absolute must-visit. Delicious food, amazing service, and good vibes all around--what more could you want?

A lot of the familiar items. You can even get exotic things like tripe if you like it meaty. Found out about it while looking up the Mexican restaurants around here. It's certainly got lots of competition to be sure. There's shit tons of these. A pretty boring place inside. Really not much of an atmosphere with it actually pretty quiet. Has no alcohol. It's about $3 to get the Jamaica. This is a hibiscus beverage that's good stuff. As for the food it's mostly authentic. It's about $12 for the Taco Salad. Choose a meat or get it with toppings that include avocado, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and more. The rest of the menu is meaty with animal parts such as tripe. Got a menu full of classics. It's located on North State Street at Old Beloit Road. There's a plaza behind the gas station and next to a laundromat that are things to look for because it's hard to find coming from wherever.

Their…read morechips and salsa are always top 10%, and I enjoy the quality of their steak, fish, and chicken. Their meals are well-presented, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The service is quick and courteous. My only annoyance in this restaurant has been the overpowering odor of perfume (or deodorant?) worn by one of the regular waitresses. It is slightly obnoxious from a distance of 10 feet, and absolutely eye-watering from 5 feet. I try to sit as far from her as possible. Otherwise, this is one of my favorite local restaurants.
