    We have frequented Rositas for many years. Great spot for a bite before theatre at Stage Coach next door. Big servings. Hand made salsa. Seems authentic enough to me and they don't give any pushback on changes to a dish. A great choice in Dekalb.

    Number 6: 3 beef enchiladas with melted cheese, refried beans, Spanish rice, lettuce and tomato.

    Good atmosphere, good service, affordable, and the food was okay. I had the fajitas with shrimp, it was decent, but the food was good.

    Rosita's service is always good and the food is enjoyable. It's the best place in town to have lunch with a friend.

    One word. Meh. I don't get why people want to go here, the food is nothing special and not authentic. So many other choices in DeKalb.

    My go to is the pork tacos, but be sure you get crunch taco shells.

    Fantastic food and service My family has been here before…read morebut was my first time. Absolutely loved it. Great chips and salsa. Each of us had something different and we all enjoyed it. My NIU student found this place when their club needed a place for a lot of people last minute (other restaurant they had reserved couldn't do it last minute). After a great experience there for that, she's brought other family members back. I can't wait to come back and try the different margaritas

    Had some pretty good drinks and okay food at this Mexican restaurant in DeKalb. It for sure isn't…read moreas authentic as some can be but it seems good enough for the people around here. Los Rancheros is a place that has a pretty big menu of classics and specials. A lot of the typical items. The prices are kind of high but you get a lot on a plate. Could be disappointed if expecting authentic flavors. It's like a lot of the typical restaurants around here of this style. There's typical favorites like chimichangas and all that. Kind of pricy for some items. Seems the portions are big though. It's about $12 for a margarita. There's also bigger ones that cost even more but these are humongous ass ones. Food is not that bad. It's about $16 for the Veggie Taco Salad. This has broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, peppers, squash, tomatoes, and zucchini. Also there's the cheese sauce and sour cream which I left off. This is also topped with guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes. Big enough we could share it. There's a crap ton of things on the menu so you can get burritos or even seafood like scallops. Good place for getting some Americanized Mexican food. It's located in DeKalb Market Square close to Wal-Mart and other chain stores. This is maybe the most authentic one around so whatever.

    Had some good Mexican food from this unassuming restaurant in Sycamore downtown. It for sure isn't…read moreyour typical authentic stuff but it has lots of good flavors sure to please any palate. Taxco is more of a hipster take on this cuisine with many options for vegans and vegetarians. Of course there's plenty of available meaty items. You can find things for everyone thankfully. Came at lunch and it was pretty busy. It's not a big place meaning there's not much room inside for big crowds so it will always seem busy of course. The menu is what's big about it though. Lots of things to choose from. There's a shit ton to get here seriously. Has a section of things for vegans and vegetarians which makes it a lot easier for us to choose. There's still too much to choose from though. It's about $15 for the Char-Grilled Cauliflower Torta, which is a pretty big sandwich filled with good stuff. There's avocado, lettuce, charred pineapple, refried beans, pickled onions, and tomatoes. Also there's tacos of course. It's about $15 for the Taxco Tofu Tacos. Good and hot. These are filled with cayenne, cumin, and garlic tofu, and topped with avocado and cabbage slaw. Also there's a few other things that can be made plant based. There's enough on the menu for those wanting beef and chicken to be honest. Good place for interesting takes on Mexican food. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. There's plenty for meat eaters and a ton of options for vegans and vegetarians.
