Very friendly people working here. The pico de gallo that is fresh made here is one the best I've ever had, and very fair priced for its size. I come here often.

Crazy how many authentic Mexican places there are in Harvard. It seems out of place for a small farming town for real. La Loncherita is another one of these. Actually it's more like a convenience store than a cafe. This has a dining area, so you can eat it here or take it wherever. About the most authentic Mexican food you can get around here, super authentic. It has the area to order food in the back. There's a dining area with a few tables. If a few people come in here it will be crowded. Very cramped and full of local Mexicans. Food menu is pretty limited. There's tacos. It's about $5 each. These are bigger than the fast food type of style. Have to say it's more like a convenience store than a restaurant to be honest. It's limited and it's pretty cramped inside. There's also lots of Mexican groceries and things.

Excellent tacos! Very large serving and so delicious! Will visit again! We ordered 3 carne asada, 1 chicken and al pastor! All were great.

We had only a few minutes before our train departed and needed food and bathroom. The lady working was super nice and helpful and placed an order for me and my travel companion. Super clean bathroom. Made it with plenty of time to get on the train and had a tasty steak taco to tide us over. Thank you!

Usually a hole in the wall restaurant usually turns out to be a gem. But not this one, this one is beyond a gem; this has the best tacos in Illinois. One of the workers, a really grumpy old man, came up to us with an attitude, not even politely and told us that we needed to buy something. But it was the way that he looked at us and spoke to us that told me that I should get the tacos. So we ordered some chicken tacos they were super plain. Get the El Pastor tacos; obviously. We weren’t even offered sauce or anything with it; you have to get it yourself; like capitalism; don’t complain if you dont look out for yourself. The seats had a really old cushions. The restaurant has really bad lighting as well. The whole place is just dark.Best taco shop in Illinois.

Usually a hole in the wall restaurant usually turns out to be a gem. But not this one, it was convenient because we were waiting on the train and had some time to spare. We had been standing out fighting the bees for a little so we decided to go in. We have luggage and everything and had a seat for us to catch our breath. One of the workers, a really grumpy old man, came up to us with an attitude, not even politely and told us that we needed to buy something. Which we already knew we were going to while waiting. But it was the way that he looked at us and spoke to us that rubbed me wrong. So we ordered some chicken tacos they were super plain. We weren’t even offered sauce or anything with it. The restaurant itself was just nasty tbh. It had a really old cushion seats. Which made me feel nasty just sitting in it so I got up and sat in one of the wood chairs. They should just throw those out entirely. The restaurant has really bad lighting as well. The whole place is just dark. Anyways, it was a last resort we had been dropped of at the train station so we didn’t have wheels and left had a 45 minute wait.
