La Mexicana Buena Vista is a locally owned Mexican counter-service restaurant in Crystal Lake. The seating is simple, but the food is excellent, especially the burritos, tacos, and beans and rice. Customers praise the authentic Mexican flavors, noting that everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, with no dryness or toughness. The marinated pork Al pastor is particularly popular among diners. The staff is friendly and polite, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a family place. The portions are generous, with some customers mentioning the huge tortas, often double-sized, making it a great spot for hearty meals. The salsa and sauces are fresh and well-made, adding to the overall positive experience. While parking is limited in the back and the restaurant could use some remodeling, it remains a favorite for those seeking consistent and flavorful Mexican food.
