Meat was bland and had no seasoning. Masa was still raw and cheese had no flavor. Not worth what I paid for. read more

Good food and calm environment! Definitely recommend for someone thinking of trying it.

Best Mexican food around, the homemade masa for tortillas etc makes all the difference. They have amazing ingredients available too like huitlacoche read more

The food was horrible and over price I ordered 1 quesadilla of cochinitina pibi 3 tacos and 2 popusas and when I went to pick it up I saw they had tamales for $2 I got 3 to give them a try. The lady over charged me each tamal was $2.50 when her sign said $2 and the price on her website for quesadillas was $6.76 she charged me $10 and for the tacos in the website was $2.50 she charged me $3.59. I called to ask her about it and the service was horrible she said I'm sorry that's what it is now the prices are changed. Horrible customer service and food. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Went for taco Tuesday and they charged me regular price for everything . after asking about the price difference I was advised I must mention the promotion prior to placing my order. Will never come back. $56 for 12 tacos is ridiculous. read more

Lady tried to charge me $40 extra. No wonder she was rushing us out the door!!! Spent 20 mins trying to get her to refund us. Food was good but check receipts! read more

Fun concept, great food, awesome prices. Get a quesadilla! Home-made, corn tortilla grilled to order with your choice of meat. The rest is up to you at the salsa bar. Big portion. Definitely a meal, and for under $4! read more

Place is very clean, however we waited a ridiculous time to get our order, restaurant was very hot, no AC.

Great tacos Fresh topings Small sauce bar with hot sauce pico de gallo and pickled onions to top your tacos fantastic. read more

A friend of mine recommended Las Quecas & let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! The decor is quaint and homey; several tables line the ordering/kitchen area. When we were there, every single one was was full, which was a very good sign. The portions are HUGE, and everything is made to order. I couldn't believe how cheap my meal was, less than $10 for an al pastor quesadilla and jamaica drink. I appreciated the fixings bar, which had sour cream, a few salsas, queso, and lettuce. I do wish they had little condiment cups so that I could try out more than one. The 2 salsas that I tried burned SO GOOD, but they were still flavorful at the same time. A little squirt of sour cream helped to cool the burn and was much appreciated. I was happy to find out that there are a few locations closer to my house, because I could definitely see this becoming a regular meeting spot. read more

Wow. What a place. Awesome delicious Mexican food. I have been disappointed by the Mexican food choices and quality in a lot of places, and was really hoping this would not be such a place. Was not disappointed. Laid back place. Not much when you look from the outside. The kitchen is clean and looks like the ladies put effort in their work. Great home cooked food. And yes, try the Mexican wedding cookies after your meal. Kudos. 5 Stars!!!! read more

Huge and filling these quesadillas are the bomb! Very cheap too, though their salsas are way too spicy which deters away from the eating it because it could get irritating to an extent. But other than that their chicharron is to die for! read more

I'm impressed, dudes. First and foremost, as you've likely heard, the tortillas are top-tier, homemade, with corn masa delivered daily. Second, the fillings -- I've tried the roasted poblano [fave], mushroom, and beans/cheese (deep in the veg game over here, amigos) -- were ample and delicious. Loads of options. Next visit, I'm dying to try the huitlacoche ("corn smut" [I prefer "huitlacoche," personally]). They'll toss a side of guacamole (fantastic and fresh) in a cup for $0.75; a total deal. Salsas are fresh as hell and numerous. Third, m'lady and I'd just been discussing our love of alfajores and lamenting that we hadn't seen any since moving to the area. Behold, upon the counter, returning our gaze, alfajores in two varieties (with and without powdered sugar). I'm pulling back on the yoke of my usual superlative-laden review and just being real level and honest, here: Visit, eat, enjoy. Place is cheap, top-tier, and the employees are super friendly and accommodating. read more

A "quecas" is like a quesadilla. It's a large, homemade oval corn tortilla filled with your choice of toppings and cheese for about $4. It's a good deal. They'll also do separate toppings on each half of your quecas. We tried the pork loin, chicken, steak, and beans. I didn't care for the pork or chicken, but the steak and beans were very good. They also have a salsa bar w/ 2 hot and 2 medium salsas, onions, pico, lettuce, and sour cream. The quecas are a great deal but won't satisfy an American appetite that's used to Chipotle portions. However, you can order 2 quecas for $8 and have more than enough food. The service was polite and prompt, and there are probably 10 tables or so to dine in. Also a good place to order to go. They also have burritos, tortas, and tacos. All in all, it's a great value w/ a homemade taste! read more

Meh. I have had much better. I came b for lunch today and had to wait in line for 15 minutes (only the people were ahead of me) because they would only take one order at a time, then get started in making it before taking the next order. On top of that they had no guacamole or salsa verde. The only had one salsa that was not 5 star hot, "molcajete" and it was extremely watery and had no flavor. I was hoping for something really good but left really disappointed. read more

I've been to many Mexican restaurants and fast food joints but this without a doubt is hands down the best around the area! Highly recommend the steak burrito!! Straight fire read more

Normally this place is great. Homemade salsas for the burritos and quesadillas are very good. I've been here numerous times and it was always a 4 Star experience. However on my last visit , the steak burrito was a greasy mess. No rice just steak beans and a few other fillings. Since it's been so good in the past I will try it again. Hopefully they go back to the old "recipe" read more

Loved it! Fresh made tortilla, great salsas and very courteous service. I had the chicken in the chipotle sauce--very tasty. Loved the salsas. My 18-month only had a cheese and bean "mini-queca" and devoured it. I will go back soon--can't beat the price for a fresh, tasty bite! read more

Friendly staff! Good selection of fast authentic Mexican food, great selection on salsas without crazy extra prices. Food is always ready within reasonable time.. love going on lunch hour. Strongly recommend this place. read more

So thankful I found this gem today. New to the area and always hoping to find that good local Mexican place. This was not good. It was excellent. I wanted to try all of the filling choices because they all sounded amazing and authentic. They don't have salad but they gladly helped me customize a burro (sans tortilla) for my wife. I ordered her the pull pork. It was spicy for her but she gladly met the challenge because it was so tasty. I ordered an asada and a cochinita pibil. Both fantastic. The hot salsa was very hot but very flavorful. I have a high threshold and this stuff was good and hot! But it took the asada to a whole new level! Poblano side was a nice change of pace. They have some other ones besides the standard beans and rice. Kids said the quecas were "yum cheesy". Chips and guacamole were fresh and well executed. Can't wait to go back and try some more! read more

I went here after work to try their famous quesadillas. Firstly, the portion since was great. It appears as though they make everything there, presumably from scratch, which is wonderful. The service at the counter was friendly and the establishment appeared clean. As an appetizer, I had the guacamole and chips, which was good but didn't stand out in any way. As for my quesadilla, I had it filled with spicy meat, and utilized their salsa bar to put some pico de gallo and sour cream on it as well. While it was good and very filling, nothing about it particularly stood out to me. I really enjoyed their agua de Jamaica. It was better than other versions of it that I have had at other places. I would go to this restaurant again were somebody to suggest it; however, I would not go out of my way to go here again. read more

I ordered 2 quesadillas, one with rajas and the other with calabaza. When I bite into the quesadilla with calabaza I notice it was mushy and tasted a little funny so i opened it to find a huge bug in my quesadilla!!! I did receive a refund but was told that sometimes the calabaza carries little bugs and they can't help it.. It was not cooked with the calabaza and appeared healthy and probably just wasn't covered up correctly or something and the bug was able to get into the batch. Anyway this was the second time trying them bc my husband likes their burritos. We had a bad experience but thought we would give it another shot. Nope. Never again! Disgusting!!!! read more

Did not get what we ordered. Asked for a ground beef burrito with no lettuce. Got shredded beef with lettuce. No one spoke English at all so it was very hard to communicate. Restaurant was very cold. read more

I like this place nice clean. The food is good and the hot sauces are excellent. The tacos are real good but my favorite are the quesadillas. read more

Las Quecas - menus on the wall of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Carpentersville, Illinois

Is this place still in business? Tried calling, no answer. Website doesn't work. If they are in business, they suck at the business end.

Picked up salsa here for a party were having. It was pretty good. We'll have to eat here some time and see how the food is ourself. Ill post an updated review at that time! read more

We were uncertain about the restaurant but decided to try it on Cinco de Mayo based on the number of excellent reviews. Oh my goodness, are we glad we did! The place was casual and clean. The ladies cooking and serving were friendly and helpful. The word, quecas, means quesadillas. But these were not like any quesadillas I have ever eaten before. They were made with a home made corn tortilla that was large and much thicker than the standard tortillas and much, much more delicious. The fillings for the quesadillas were creative. I had nopales (cactus) and squash blossoms in a tomato sauce. Both were delicious! There were more traditional fillings available, but the creative ones reminded me of art in cooking. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Delicious quecas! Handmade tortillas, a variety of fillings (meats or veggies), including a salsa bar (varying levels of hotness) to add some spice, all for $4. Made to order guacamole and chips = LOVE Like my moms cooking (yes, that serious!). read more

Came here yesterday and ordered a steak and cheese quesadilla, and it certainly exceeded my expectations! Will be returning this week to try some more stuff on the menu, I guess they recently opened, but as of now, I am a big fan! read more

This is the best Mexican food in the area. Mexico City style quesadillas, and Juarez style burritos. Tons of authentic meat options. I love their ropa vieja and carne asada. Wife is vegetarian and loves their veg options. Cannot recommend this place enough!! read more

Nice place for lunch. Burro nice and good value. Cheese quesadillas so so. Wish they had a more extensive breakfast selections

Quesadillas are made out of homemade corn tortillas, they were so good. Also tried Alfajores cookies with cajeta filling, sooo good, never heard of them before. Great prices, food and service. It's a small restaurant, you place your order with cashier, and they bring your food to your table. Be careful with the Salsas, they are pretty spicy and I love spicy food, they have 4-5 different kinds. Will definitely be back again, real authentic Mexican food. read more

Las Quecas - Lomo quesadilla. Complimentary toppings bar, 5 different variety of salsas, crema, pico de gallo and lettuce. - Mexican Near Me - Carpentersville, Illinois

Delicious hand made tortillas and you can try as many as 18 choices of meat or veggies on the quesadillas, tacos, burros, burritos and platillos!! The salsa bar is the best!! read more

Amazing authentic quesadillas. They're burritos and beans are also good. This is not an American style quesadilla place that just puts cheddar cheese between flour tortillas. They have amazing corn tortillas and a variety of authentic options up put inside. So good! read more

Really good handmade tortillas and fresh ingredients. They have a toppings bar with pickled habaneros, hot salsa, really hot salsa, and pico de gallo. Be nice if they had margaritas, but you cannot beat the price to go with the quality of the food. Highly recommend and a great place for lunch. read more

Yum!! Love the homemade corn tortillas and the beans were awesome!! Gonna come back and try other food, I ordered steak tacos

The food is delicious, but I wanted to put salsa and condiments on my carry out order today and they wanted to charge me extra..... Anytime I eat in it comes with the food. Ended up paying $1.92 for a side of onions to go with the quesadillas I bought. I didn't ask for anything else because my bill was already $20 for just 3 quesadillas. read more

The food was good, just a bit on the pricey side for a taco place, but not by much more than most of the of the other, similar places in the area. The only thing, and i know this might seem sort of petty, is that i feel for about $10 bucks a plate for a taco dinner i should get a drink with my meal. The drinks are separate. I love Mexican food and would eat here again, this is one of many good Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Delicious. Recommend the quesadillas with huitlacoche and Flor de calabaza. Almost as good as the ones sold at Maxwell Street Market. Limited space/seating read more
