El Vado used to be my favorite Mexican Restaurant in McHenry County. The food was good, the service…read morewas friendly, and the prices were fair. Plus, it seemed to be run by women, which gave the place a festive family feel. But then some loud young guy took over the restaurant floor, acting like a slick, fake salesman and messed up the whole vibe. The menu became all glossy pictures of food, as if suburban folk needed to see photos of the Tacos & Enchiladas in order to know what their names meant. After that my girlfriend and I stopped coming here. It only takes ONE bad experience.

Crazy how many authentic Mexican places there are in Harvard. It seems out of place for a small…read morefarming town for real. La Loncherita is another one of these. Actually it's more like a convenience store than a cafe. This has a dining area, so you can eat it here or take it wherever. About the most authentic Mexican food you can get around here, super authentic. It has the area to order food in the back. There's a dining area with a few tables. If a few people come in here it will be crowded. Very cramped and full of local Mexicans. Food menu is pretty limited. There's tacos. It's about $5 each. These are bigger than the fast food type of style. Have to say it's more like a convenience store than a restaurant to be honest. It's limited and it's pretty cramped inside. There's also lots of Mexican groceries and things.

Hard to know the hours to this place in Harvard since it can be unexpectedly closed. It took a few…read moretries to get in. La Cocina De Emma is one of the authentic Mexican restaurants in town. Barely looks big enough to be a restaurant to be honest. The place has more of a homeliness to it, which can be charming if wanting to focus on the good meal. Any decent Mexican restaurant should have margaritas as well as free chips. It's about $9 for the cheapest margaritas. These have several flavors including classic lime, as well as mango and strawberry. Maybe these aren't too strong, but there's enough to get a buzz. The food has typical favorites like tacos, and because it's authentic there's also tortas. It's about $12 for a burrito. These are pretty big and packed full of stuff. Lots of fajita vegetables and especially great with jalapeños. These can be made vegetarian by not getting meat. If wanting meat though, you have choices. There's beef, chicken, chorizo, pork, steak, and tongue. Check the hours before going. It often closes for private parties. These often happen on weekends.

Mexican lager bottled beers were $6! And they add 20% gratuity to a party of 4, unfortunately we didn't see that until after we paid. &140 for 4 people feels gougy.

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.

Other than that, do check out this superb joint.. Thank you La Fonda!!!
