Willy's is pretty much forgotten about except by those who live by there. Funny how most in town have never heard of it. There's a few pretty great specials. Coming here the first time it looked like it may be closed. It's located on the far west side of town. There's like nothing around it so hardly anyone even sees it or goes there. Best thing was it was a great day to go. It's $5 margaritas on Tuesdays. These even were a bit watery but whatever. As for the food menu, it's meaty. Hardly anything here for us. That was whack. It's $10 to get Guacamole And Chips. These were average to be honest. Go check out the specials so you know when to go. It's basic stuff. They're closed Sundays and Wednesdays.

I ordered the crab chowder, mushroom, chicken dumpling, and loaded potato. The loaded potato soup was so watered down it was actually really strange.

The crab soup just wasn't good. The mushroom was okay. We were the only ones in there at 6pm on a Friday night. My boyfriend did like his sandwich though so maybe just stay away from the soup?

I ordered the taco salad. Most taco salads come in a large fried tortilla shaped like a bowl. Their…read moretaco salad came on a bed of store bought tortilla chips, like nachos. The salad had the bed of chips, about 1 cup of lettuce, a 1/4 cup of barely seasoned taco meat, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and onions. I normally post a picture of the food I order, but I said that I wanted "no onion or tomato, only meat and cheese." Since it was a salad I assumed I wouldn't have to say that I also wanted lettuce, but they didn't put any lettuce on my salad. I got tortilla chips with hamburger meat and cheese. They did give me lettuce after I requested it. I got my description of how the salads normally look because people next to me ordered them. My husband got a cheese burger. He said he thought there was too much bun. I suppose he could have taken 1/2 of it off. I will say that their double cheese burgers were pretty big (about the size of a double 1/4 at McDonald's). I'm sure the bun on those would be perfect.

I found this local family restaurant and had an excellent experience. I walked in and placed an order for carry out so I could take it back to my hotel. I ordered cheese enchiladas, bean dip, chips and salsa. While I was waiting for my food to be prepared I had a chance to look around the dining area. The interior decor is eclectic. Very unique collection of items on display. Service was super friendly. I could tell the employees genuinely cared about their customers. My food was ready quickly, and everything I had ordered was excellent. The chips were phenomenal, house made, crispy and delicious. Salsa was fresh and tasty. The rice was savory and beans were a good texture and flavorful. Enchiladas were very tasty. The menu is extensive with many unique entrées I will plan to return the next time I'm in the area .

I recognize they are operating in a different environment, especially being over two hours away from the competition found in Chicago. In any case, I found myself hungry in Rock Falls, so I stopped in at La Familia. I had the opportunity to try a carnitas taco, an al pastor taco, and a tamale. I also ordered an horchata to drink. The food was a mixed bag, but with some notable high points. The highlight of the meal was the tamale. The exterior was soft and flavorful, and the interior was appropriately meaty with a good, mild flavor. I believe this was my first experience with a tamale, and it was an enjoyable one at that. For the tacos, I appreciated that the proteins, onion, and cilantro were all in balance and that they didn't skimp on the meat. I am a traditionalist and asked for my tacos with just onion and cilantro, rather than their standard of lettuce, tomato, and cheese. While the meat had a mild flavor and wasn't completely bland, it needed something more to stand on its own. To be fair, there is salsa, lime, and two varieties of El Yucateco hot sauce available. However, being the purist I am, it is my belief that food should be able to stand alone without condiments. That said, with these tacos, it felt like something was lacking--perhaps sauce, crema, or pineapple with the al pastor. I'd also like to call out the complimentary chips and salsa offered at the beginning of the meal. I loved that the salsa was served in a little spouted container and that the tortilla chips were clearly homemade. They were a bit unusual, with layers flaking off (not a bad thing, just not often seen in restaurants). I also liked that they had a little bit of salt... far too many places skip that, and how can you skip the salt? My horchata was an absolute delight with great flavor. It was a tad sweet for my taste, but that's more a matter of personal preference than a technical issue. The service was a major highlight. It was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. The staff was also quick and efficient. Final Verdict: La Familia is very solid and respectable as a family-run, home-cooking-style restaurant. While to be 100% honest it doesn't hold a candle to some of the things you might find in downtown Chicago, Pilsen, or Cicero, that isn't the expectation. With this in mind, it does its job well. While I'm not going to come all the way back to Rock Falls just to eat here, when I find myself in town, I can't say I would be totally against it.
