The plate was covered with 3 fully stuffed enchiladas with generous mole'. Fresh lettuce and rice and beans which I typically don't care for.

Had some pretty okay drinks and food at this Mexican restaurant in Galena. It helps there aren't…read moremany other restaurants with this cuisine in town to be honest. Los Aztecas II has about what to expect as far as strip mall ethnic cuisine it seems. About as forgettable as many others like it. The prices are also high for basic things. Coming here the first time it looked like another basic Americanized Mexican restaurant with expected items. It's got plenty of seating. There's way more than enough because it was almost empty on a weekend. As for the menu it's basic. The prices are too high for this. It's about $15 to get a margarita. They have a few flavors including mango and watermelon. It's about $18 for an entree. We each got the Create Your Own Veggie Combo, which is a choice of a couple items. Beans are okay and not made with animal fat. We got these with a bean burrito and a bean taco. It was a gas but not right away. The rest of the menu features familiar items like fajitas and stuff. Got to say it was okay as far as flavor. It's located in Galena Square. This is close to the state's only Piggly Wiggly.

I had high hopes strolling in here. It has a very unique look to it for being in northern Illinois…read more It looks like a restaurant in a location that doesn't experience winter. The furniture is ragged and there's random stuff all over. That can be a good sign in that the owners spend more time on making great food rather than atmosphere. Unfortunately, that's not the case here. The salsa was watery and flavorless. The tacos were ok but bland. The torta al pastor was pretty good. No sauce brought to the table. Service was subpar. Wouldn't go back. There's a better Mexican restaurant by the Piggly Wiggly if you're really craving it.

I had a Carnitas burrito bowl and my husband had the chicken Carnitas bowl. Everything is custom, they make it as you like, just like a Chipotle. Staff we're very friendly and the food is tasty. Even though they have a sign saying they don't give you chips and salsa, I didn't see a charge for $3.50 for it. They did not have plain unsweet tea, but they did have a raspberry tea Total was $24 before tip It does look like they are serving breakfast burritos on certain days of the week so that might be worth another trip It's a fast casual restaurant, and the place was clean

Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.
