“Amazing restaurant! Came back after 7 years and nothing has changed, regret not coming here more often. The food here is so good along with the service, we had our waiter Angie and she was the sweetest person ever, she was so helpful and accommodating to our needs and wants. Angie made sure everyone was happy while also doing her job very well. Fajitas, burritos and tacos were very well along with the salsa which is a favorite from all of us! I would recommend stopping by to get some food here! 10/10”
“Outstanding & delicious. Must go. Must try. Amazing staff also. Support & shop local family owned. Amazing food.”
“One of our favorite restaurants. I can eat here every two weeks and not get tired of it 😅 My family has been coming for over a decade and they never disappoint. I would say the consistency is over 90%, which is great for us. The staff knows us at the “Coke Zero” family 😂 From the staff, ambiance, food, and service, this place is excellent. We’ve even hosted parties here and they’re very accommodating. Our last event had 27 guests and they were great at taking care of everyone! Best entrees would be chicken fajitas or Enchilada Mexicanas! If you’re still reading my review and never tried this place, stop wasting more time and go check it for yourselves!”
“Every dish here was packed with authentic flavor that truly impressed us. The Mexicana enchiladas surprised us with bold taste in every bite, and the jumbo chicken quesadillas were just as satisfying—rich, well seasoned, and deeply delicious. This restaurant delivers consistently flavorful Mexican food that leaves you wanting to come back again.”
“Was craving an amazing Mexican dinner with free chips and salsa and De Campana nailed it. The best table salsa at a restaurant I've ever had. The perfect amount of spice with a chunky consistency. A large menu with plenty of vegetarian options including Huevos Rancheros, which I never see on menus. I ordered up the HR and love the sauce. The sides of beans, rice and guacamole perfect. Appreciate that I didn't feel over salted after this meal. Love how they're decorated and I felt right at home as a solo diner. Great service and the prices are very affordable. Around 10 dollars for the Huevos Rancheros. They have a selection of beer on tap at around 5.50 a pint.”
“This is the 3rd time coming here and the food it was good the staff friendly and my kids loved their meal I came to today to support the Lutheran school Zion this restaurant was donating some portion of the money from our total bill which I believe it a great idea to support local businesses. If you want a some good Mexican food this a good option in Bensenville”
“I am from Chicago but haven't lived there in10 years. My husband and I were planning a visit, and looking for a venue to host a gathering for 30-40 friends and family. Most places in Chicago have insane spending minimums that make an intimate event unnecessarily extravagant. We are not celebrities, nor are we pretending to be. I remembered that when I used to work in Elmhurst, I would eat at De Campana, so I reached out to them. Peter, the manager, answered the phone and was so helpful. He was so incredibly easy to work with - nothing was overcomplicated, and he was extremely responsive and flexible. I used Canva to create a Dia de los Muertos themed invitation and menu our guests could access via QR code. The day of our event, they had a side room of the restaurant designated for our group. Martin was our server and he literally took care of our entire party with one other gentleman helping him bring and clear items. Peter had even printed our custom menu so Martin would know exactly what dishes our guests could choose. We were able to bring in a caramel cake from a local bakery and I also brought in a vegan and gluten-free dessert from Whole Foods for a friend who has dietary restrictions. I was able to give the desserts to Martin and he kept everything cold until we were ready, and provided everything we would need to serve them and pack up the leftovers. Our guests all raved about how amazing the food was! From echiladas to burritos to the chimichanga, it all was delicous! We were able to provide an AMAZING luncheon for 30 guests for a grand total of just under $1000!!! For me, the best part was how easy Peter made the process, particularly since I don't live in Chicago and was planning this event from another state, while simultaneously planning our personal move. De Campana still has the same wonderful food and service I remember from my days of working nearby and dining with them on a near weekly basis. Thank you to Peter, Martin, and the entire De Campana team for making this a truly wonderful event for us! Muchisimas gracias!!!”
“All the food here has a rich authentic taste. Mexicana Enchiladas and chicken jumbo quesadillas. Both were phenomenal.”
“My favorite Mexican restaurant, great atmosphere. I bring all my dates here. Prices are favorable and plates are plentiful. Margaritas keep flowing. They have a great bar with awesome happy hour options and their patio is super cute. Always a good time.”
“Good food and amazing hospitality!!! The food is delicious and served hot definitely will come again.”
“Placed a to go order. When I first walked in the waiter just stared at me. Finally he said someone would come take my order in a minute. Didn’t offer a menu or anything to even look at. I asked for Queso Blanco (Cheese Dip) and when I got back home it was rock solid and yellow. 5 minutes from restaurant to hotel. It wasn’t even edible. Biggest waste of $16 ever. The enchiladas were also cold. Terrible service, terrible food.”
