“It was really quite and not that busy, the food was so good I forgot to take a picture until it was all gone. Definitely recommend the steak and chicken fajitas, the amount of steak and chicken was a little less than usual but it lets you be full but not overly full.”
“Ordered a Carne Asada burrito. It came with meat, beans, sour cream, cheese, tomato, onion and lettuce. Meat was minimal while lettuce was plentiful. It was cut in half which I like as burritos can be hard to keep together when uncut. Food came out fast and was presented well. Overall had minimal taste and I would say needed salt and more char on the steak. Even with adding salsa the burrito just wasn't flavorful.”
“Stopped by here for some authentic tacos, food was good nothing to rave about. The margaritas are way too expensive, tastes like a green popsicle with barely any tequila in them not to mention they are $10 dollars each, oh and they add a $2.50 surcharge on the bill for their convenience. If they are going to add a surcharge everything should have been perfect but it wasn’t. We may return.”
“We’ve loved this place for so long. We ordered tamales today and feel ripped off. We paid $40 for “tamales”. In each tamale there’s about a quarter sized amount of meat. The rest is a big amount of masa so they look nice and big but it’s all masa. Not worth $40 for 10 tamales. The picture shows you can fit all the meat in one tamale on a regular sized fork.”
“I hate giving out bad reviews but it’s part of the gig. A bit disappointed from such a highly recommended place. Service is great, atmosphere is great but the food was subpar. I order a steak burrito, meat was hella greasy and no flavor to the steak 3/10. Also order a torta de milanesa, and meat did not hit 3/10. The salsas tasted all from a can. The horchata I ordered is a powdered mix but tastes decent so I give it a 6.5/10. It’ll be very hard for me to come back knowing there’s other better spots in Crystal lake.”
“First time in and was not disappointed in the least! The service was friendly and very quick. We had their steak burrito and chicken enchiladas and they’re some of the best we’ve had in a while! Also enjoyed their horchata and rice/beans. Will definitely be back soon!”
“Really liked the Pazole. Great service. Definitely saving this place.”
“Genuinely the best steak tacos I have ever had. I've had them every way, dine in, take out, and delivery. They HIT every single time. I recommend everyone looking for tacos to go. Their other options are also phenomenal but those steak tacos are on a different playing field. 100% go in/order from this place.”
“Absolutely incredible service! Sky had me and my boyfriend laughing until we were literally crying — she was hilarious, warm, and so genuinely engaging. On top of that, the service itself was flawless: attentive, timely, and thoughtful without ever feeling rushed. This was hands down some of the best service I’ve had in a long time, and Sky completely made our experience. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have her again!”
“Good was good, but service was EXCELLENT! My girlfriend and I had a blast with our server, Sky. She kept is laughing the entire meal and her service was spot on. We will definitely be back!”
