Date of visit: December 13, 2025…read more I love a good Mexican place, and as much as I enjoy Carlos's, it is good to have other options for when I go to visit my friend in the McHenry/Spring Grove area. The restaurant is very large with a variety of seating options including some interesting swings. I say interesting because it's really more of a novelty than anything; honestly, do you really want to have a seat that moves while you're eating chips with salsa? The menu is interesting, with a heavy focus on birria (think brisket, if you're unfamiliar) including in a dipped/fried taco as well as a grilled cheese sandwich, which is what I went with. While the meat in the sandwich was good, there was very little cheese to speak of, and that should be an important component of a grilled...cheese. However the chips and salsa were excellent, with some of the best chips I've had in quite some time, they really taste like more. In terms of the salsa, they are not lying with the "Diablo" in their name. If you are not a fan of spicy, stay away from the salsas as even the mild is fairly potent after a few chips. Also note that sour cream is available but doesn't tend to come WITH things by default, so be prepared to ask for that if it's a key part of your Mexican meals. Also disappointing, the tacos come with raw onions on top. This isn't mentioned on the menu, and was a very unwelcome addition to the dish. Service was a bit of a mixed bag; Jasmine was nice and attentive but struggled on some aspects, including telling us what the three salsas were when she brought them to the table, and saying that birria was a "biscuit," which thoroughly confused us. She asked if we wanted more chips and we declined, but then she brought more anyways.

And virtually NOBODY offers Beef Wellington anymore but you can get it here, always a treat for me. I've primarily eaten in the bar area which is large and nice, and has a fairly big/separate gaming space which is less busy than most places nearby since this is a higher end restaurant more than gaming bar. Service has always been professional and there is ample parking, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

So I ordered "LOADED" BISCUITS AND GRAVY as I saw it on the SPECIALS BOARD. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. They was virtually ZERO gravy on top of the biscuits. It had my scrambled eggs between the biscuits, some melted cheese, sprinkled with a tiny bit of bacon. It wasn't SWIMMING in gravy like the regular biscuits and gravy. I probably will not be back. Too expensive for what I got. The 1/2 order of regular biscuits and gravy would have been the way to go.
