Quesadillas with Meat (chicken)
Dawn P.

Soooo good! My daughter ordered the quesadilla plate with chicken and she said the flavor was really, really good. I had the taco dinner (2 chicken, 1 beef) and the meat was soooo flavorful! All of the ingredients were fresh and delicious (even the refried beans, which I normally don't eat, were good!), the restaurant was clean, and the service was friendly. We'll definitely be back!

This was tonight's Cheese Enchilada. Very clearly not cheese.

This was my favorite Mexican place in CL since the 90s, but they continuously fill orders very incorrectly. I order cheese, I get chicken. I'm done with them. Also, no green/red sauce included with order.

Enchiladas Suizas with chicken
Courtney H.

Every time I come here, I'm always surprised by how incredible the food is, especially for the reasonable price. My go to is the chicken enchiladas, served with rice and beans. I'm not a fan of refried beans, but this place is the one exception. The beans are creamy, flavorful, and the perfect glue to pick up the rice for a perfect bite.

Pancho Villa (above) was excellent and also included an absolutely delicious soup!!!

Still Crystal Lake's best and complete value and service for this fine traditional Mexican cuisine.

It's so hard to find good Mexican food in Illinois let alone McHenry County.

Best Carnitas on the Planet!!! Had 3 street tacos: Ribeye…read morewas incredible. Al Pastor was good - not the best I've ever had, but I enjoyed it. Carnitas...best I've ever had hands down. Unbelievable flavor, moist & tender. Tried a tamale - pork with red sauce - not bad, would get more carnitas instead next time I come here. Had a queso fundido, tasted good, but it was so thick, it was hard to eat. It was hot as F¥{€, but still thick as $#!+, hard to enjoy. Bartender was awesome. Will definitely return. Chips & salsa are phenomenal!

I hadn't been here in at least a year. So at the last minute I came for a late Saturday dinner. I…read morewas surprised to see that the restaurant now has a two sided bar. That means a larger space for dining. It wasn't very crowded for 8pm and we were seated right away. Im sure at true dinner hour it was filled. Our server was great and gave us just the right amount of time between cocktails, appetizers and food. Dinner was great, Queso Fundido with chorizo appetizer and steak fajitas. The Queso Fundido was really heavy, not canned saucy cheese but real cheese with chorizo. The steak fajitas were great with super tender steak and more veggies than I could eat or cared for. Rice, beans and tortillas were served on the side to make it super filling. One thing to mention however is that the food here isn't inexpensive so be prepared to pay.
