“Andrew was amazing. The food was incredible, service was great, the atmosphere was warm, happy, festive, and saw a lot of locals. Friends... Get here soon! The prices are FANTASTIC! There's only one huge problem... Huge... The name on the building is what they specialize in and not the actual name of the restaurant. The big bold signage says "taco Tequila" but their name is EL Pato LoCo. Attention Owners: eather consider changing the name on the building or changing the name of the restaurant. This is an amazing place to dine at. You're not doing yourself any favors by advertising the wrong verbage! Thanks again Andrew for a great dinning experience. -David Gaffke Proud Owner of Complete Bridal-Bridal Boys“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book them! We used La Huerta to cater our engagement party in Illinois this past January and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. My fiancé and I live in Texas, so finding good Mexican food that would actually impress our guests — about 70 people — was really important to us. We did not want to settle, and we absolutely did not have to. A few things really stood out. First, their pricing was completely transparent — no guessing games, no surprise numbers, just honest and upfront from the beginning. When you're planning an event from out of state, that matters more than you'd think. Second, knowing that La Huerta is a favorite of a former health inspector — a friend of a friend — was such a relief. I once attended a wedding where all the guests got sick from the catering, and that fear has stuck with me every time I host. Having that extra layer of confidence meant I could actually be present and enjoy our party instead of quietly stressing about it. The catering manager was just incredible. She was on it the entire time — detail-oriented, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went perfectly. That kind of care is hard to find. The food was a hit, the experience was seamless, and we have already talked about using them again for future gatherings with family in Illinois. If you're on the fence about catering — especially if budget is a factor — this is where you should land. Highly, highly recommend.“

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.“
