“Went for lunch on a Saturday. Seat yourself. I think it was the owner, greeted us as soon as we entered. He said we could sit wherever we like.Now.. I'm not going to lie, this is not a fancy restaurant. But it's clean, quaint and very friendly people. We were the only white people in the restaurant but everyone made us feel welcomed.They gave us chips and all kinds of salsas and sour cream right away. The chips were a little bit thicker than I normally like but they were very good.The waiter was very nice and joked with us. He was very helpful in picking something from the menu. The food came very fast to our table after we ordered.The food was amazing. It came out hot, everything was moist, not dry like a lot of other places. My wife was curious about some soups that other people ordered. The waiter gave us free samples of the soup.For 3 people the tab came to around $68, that's with a %25 tip because the waiter was awesome. You won't leave here hungry.“

The food was amazing. Both of us left with leftovers for tomorrow. The drinks were good and decently priced. I'm sad it has taken us this long to finally try but can't wait to go back. Hands down 1000% better than any chain like On the Boarder.“

“The Jamaica was natural,you could taste that it was not made from powder. The huitlache quesadilla was huge and very good and flavorful. You would only find this one at an an authentic Mexican restaurant. We also had their caldo de pescado. Well balanced flavor and portion. The tacos are good as well. And last but not least the handmade tortillas. They enhance all the dishes they're used in. Thank you guys and keep it up“

“Well, I'm a little upset that I've never been to this spot , we had gone by a few times, but we thought it was permanently closed. Went to La Pasadita Mexican Food Restaurant in Belvidere today. I read some Google reviews, and it has 4.5-5 stars. It is a little hole-in-the-wall, but it's the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. We had enchiladas Rojas, and taco plate. Their chips were freshy fried, and crispy, their guacamole was on point, as were the sauces, and tacos, especially the al pastor. Even the rice and beans were fantastic. The tortillas were homemade even! Definitely going back!“

“Growing up with a Rockstar Mexican Grandmother cooking like no other. It's hard to impress me, but the food was very good. The rice could use additional tomatoe, onion and garlic. Then again I was spoiled with Grandmother's cooking. Best Mexican food I've had since moving back from California 2 years ago. My wife was very disappointed in every other place we've been to in Rockford, Roscoe, Beloit and Janesville. Very happy with her Chile Relleno and to satisfy her is a huge task. Not as my rice. LoL. Try this place and you won't regret it. I had Asada, El Pastro and Pollo tacos. By the was the Guacamole was the bomb. Wife didn't need to add salt or lime to it. Just like our favorite spot in Ontario, California Mexico Lindo Restaurant. Shout to them.“
