Very unique family owned restaurant. Authentic Mexican style food, they have delicious tripita, barbacoa and lengua! The burritos are ginormous and very affordable prices. Not too many places left like this!

Great customer service and the food is very good. We loved it so much that we ordered the steak burrito and tacos two days in a row.

I really like my burrito. I typically do not have a burrito with the rice and beans inside of it but it was really good. The fries..... I mean it doesn't really go with it but who doesn't like fries?? I want to try the taco special next. I will be back.

Great little local place. Owners are kind and considerate. $3 per taco is a hard price to beat in these times. Nothing bad to say about this place, it’s one of the few restaurants where it’s entirely authentic Mexican food with a homely atmosphere. Dining arrangement is comfy and warm.

Great Mexican food! Ordered nachos with chicken and guacamole for starters. The red sauce on the table had a real good kick to it. Then had the chorizo taco dinner. Jorge the manager added a grilled habanero ?️ when I asked for more spice. Delicious!! Jorge was super nice and was great to talk to. No alcohol but they had a great variety of Mexican sodas and drinks. Will be coming back again!!!!

I was lucky enough to be meeting a friend in Carpentersville and we chose to meet for lunch here. I say lucky enough because this was the best mexican food I've had in a long time. The rice, the beans, the onions, all of it reminded me of Mexico. To quote the terminator, I'll be back.

Nestled between Route 31 and Elmwood Court, Bella Vista emerges. It boasts a red and gray exterior with colorful signs on the windows. Inside it's adorned with all sorts of Mexican inspired memorabilia. It definitely has that authentic Mexican restaurant feel when you walk in.The tacos were tasty. Definitely some of the better tacos I've had within the area. You'll get a double tortilla, a big portion of meat, and a nice ratio of toppings. I noticed the cut of onion was ever so slightly bigger than what I normally see, giving more of a crunch, which I didn't mind.Though it might not look like it, they also have a drive thru. It's not 100% obvious, even though they have a pretty large drive thru sign haha. The set up is interesting. There's no divider between the drive thru lane and parking spaces so it just looks like a big lot. Also, no intercom, you just drive up to the window, they take your order and then drive around to the opposite side of the building, where there is another window, where you pick up.Overall, the tacos were good, service was good, and definitely worth making the trip if you're looking for good tacos and an authentic dine-in experience.
