“Me and my teenager love this place. Tacos are great!“

“Love this Taco Bell! I always get a grilled cheese steak burrito and it’s perfect everytime.Always get DoorDash late at night. And they always make my food to a T! Also anytime I go through the drive thru they are just so sweet and kind! I know it’s fast food…. but thanks for being a consistent comfort food for me and I know it’s gonna be top quality EVERYTIME! Thanks guys!“

“The weekday lunch crew is by far the best! Every day I go in, the entire staff is happy and personable. The food is delicious, doesn’t skimp on portions, and the restaurant is clean. The staff even surprised me with a Mother’s Day card and they all took the time to write me the sweetest messages. I have never been treated so nicely anywhere else.“

“Our server Jessica was fantastic. Friendly, patient with our questions and spot on taking care of us (4 people). The food was excellent!This was my 1st time here and I'll be a returning customer plus bringing others as well. Thank you so much. 😊“

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯“

“Amazing food and even better service ❤️ Raul’s really makes the best tacos I’ve ever had and I could eat them everyday. But they are always suggesting new things for me to try and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Whether it’s a first time guest or a regular customer they greet everyone like family dropping by for dinner. The food is so good my friends from out of state talk about it long after they go back home. All I can say is If you haven’t had Raul’s you are missing out!“

“If you’re searching for a taco spot that genuinely lives up to the hype, this is it. From the very first bite, you can tell they’ve mastered their craft—every taco is packed with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat and layered with bold, vibrant flavors that hit all the right notes. Nothing feels rushed or generic; everything tastes intentional and seriously satisfying. And then there are the gorditas—easily the standout. Rich, and stuffed to perfection, they’re the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you’ve left. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong here. Every item on the menu delivers the same level of quality and flavor, making it one of those rare places where you want to try everything. Bottom line: this spot isn’t just good—it’s a must. Whether you’re a taco lover or just someone who appreciates incredible Mexican food, you’ll leave already planning your next visit.“

“This was the first time I've ordered from here. Will be ordering again. Chili relenos was great as were the steak tacos!“

“wonderful selections, great service and value meals“

“We just celebrated my wife's surprise 65th birthday Sunday with 14 family members. We chose El vado #2 Mexican Restaurant and couldn't be any happier. From them going out of their way purchasing ballons and banners to her complimentary frozen ice cream the service, food and drinks were phenomenal. Very warm and welcoming staff. Very appreciative of your business and fantastic atmosphere. Thank you for this memory. Never felt rushed. Everyone in our family raved on how great it was and was one of our best parties ever. Familiar with their other restaurant in McHenry which is also excellent and reasonably priced. You have to try this place if you like mexican food. A+++“

“Highly recommend Mari's restaurant. The food and service at Mari's restaurant was excellent. Such an extensive menu! My family all ordered different things (zopes, flautas, a beef stew, pupusas and more). And we even had some delicious desserts including fried ice cream. The portions were very generous and the prices were amazing. The owner's whole family works there and you can tell that they put their heart into the business. I would highly recommend giving them a try.“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“Staff was courteous; menu varied with traditional Mexican cuisine.
A bit too pricey for my budget. At $14 a burrito, wouldn't be able to visit regularly with 5 of us.
If your passing through Fox Lake, I'd suggest you give them a try.“

“We catered a party with Tacos El Norte tonight. I couldn’t be more pleased with the food, service, or price. They were helpful, responsive, generous, and easy to work with. Couldn’t be happier.“

“Kelly is an amazing host and person to work with when we were planning our daughter's baby shower for 20 guests. Lots of compliments from our guests about the appearance of this venue. We would HIGHLY recommend Main Street Station for a smaller venue atmosphere!“

“Some of the best made-from-scratch Mexican food in the area! Highly recommended.“

“The best Food and atmosphere. Great friendly service.“

“Taco Tuesday has been the best!! $1.00 and they are so amazing. Will definitely be going to them as my main for Mexican food around McHenry county!! Check them out!“

“Love the food here! But, not great customer Service. The service was pretty fast… But they did not have any cheeseburgers as it said on their menu for the kids meal. I also did not have any chicken nuggets from the kids meal, They also had no Lengua tacos and only enough steak to make three tacos. And I would also recommend updating your website to include that you no longer serve alcohol“

“Food was good. Not life changing Mexican food. Plenty of authentic flavor, salsa was good. Not that spicy. I personally prefer more spice but I'm Latino.

Service was kind and respectful. Kept making sure I was good without harassing me. Definitely a good spot to go to regularly.“

“Hola 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
If you're looking for a little slice of Mexico right here, La Mexicana Buena Vista is the place to be! 🌮✨

From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel like you’re home. We ordered a feast fit for champions: starting with the taco dinner featuring mouthwatering steak cabeza and al pastor that danced in our mouths with every bite—simply divine! Each taco was packed with flavor, and the toppings were fresh, making our taste buds sing! 🎶

Next up was the steak a la mexicana dinner, which came generously served with rice, beans, and a refreshing salad. The steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and paired perfectly with silky avocado slices. It's like a fiesta on a plate!

Oh, and let’s not forget the steak torta! This beauty was a gooey, delicious masterpiece served with rice and beans that felt like a warm hug on a plate. And the agua fresca? The horchata was a creamy treat that perfectly quenched our thirst alongside the tartness of the Jamaica.

The service here deserves a shoutout as well! The cooks were as polite as they were skilled, and the staff taking our orders were genuinely friendly. It’s clear they love what they do, which indeed adds to the whole experience.

In short, La Mexicana Buena Vista is more than just a restaurant; it's a delightful culinary adventure. Whether you're a taco aficionado or a first-timer, this place will leave you craving more. Highly recommend for anyone looking to satisfy their Mexican food cravings with heartwarming service! 🌮❤️

Can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious menu! You will not regret visiting this gem!“

“Cute small restaurant off Rt 134 in Round Lake with excellent margaritas and delicious food. Got the Mexican Eggs breakfast and it was perfect! Eggs not runny or over cooked, more than enough for the 4 tortillas provided. Generous portion so I am bringing some home! Yummy on the rocks strawberry margarita with plenty of strawberries 🍓 floating in it. Several lime slices and an orange in the traditional margarita. Would recommend and we will definitely be back to try the $1.99 tacos on Tuesdays. 😁👍“

“very good quality food and a friendly,Kind and caring staff“

“Excelente servicio. 1. 2. Los tacos al pastor.. los mejor. Me llevaron a lindo México en una mordida raza. Sin exagerar 3 las cemitas están buenas. Curtidas y frescas. Un 20 de 10 la verdad. Maneje 40 min y valió la pena la gas y mi tiempo.“

“Their food is sooo good! Tried the food at the 2025 Walworth county fair. 😋 We will be going to their restaurant.“

“When I arrived I had encountered quite the environment, firstly I really needed to piss so I entered the bathroom only to see a severed head in one of the urinals. Honestly I wasn't too focused on it as I REALLY needed to pee. I was seated near a cracked window but frankly, it just added to the atmosphere you know? My waitress Amanda was really sweet to me, nice woman... until I saw her go off on an family that was eating there... had a weird grudge against the grandma. I got my jamón al vapor quite quickly and the taste is even better. Now I am not one to nitpick, but when I requested I get one of those tiny umbrellas for my water what I got in return was a tiny skateboard instead, not ideal but I made it work. Overall would recommend, just stay out of the 2nd stall in the male restroom... that's my stall.“

“Friendly staff and some of the yummiest food I’ve had! Come try it and I promise, you’ll want to keep coming back.“

“We got El Vado's food truck for a private event and we couldn't have been happier with the food. The three employees busted their butts kicking food out fast for us! They were so kind, and communicated throughout the event to ensure if we wanted to keep the truck open. Thank you again for elevating our event with your amazing food truck!“

“King burrito is the best burrito I've ever had at any restaurant here in the states or in Mexico. Nelly is the friendliest and best cashier , order taker ,food server ive ever dealt with . Highly recommend this place for food and service“

“Always a delicious spot for lunch and dinner. Daily specials posted on the white board inside. Tacos never disappoint! I always get 2 tacos and some rice with a horchata. Dine in available but beware parking a little weird outside and if you're unfamiliar with unloading wheelchairs in a slight slant I would park in the side or exterior of the building of at all possible. Parking is limited and easier to pull into going north bound on rt 12. South bound you sit in the meridian until traffic dispurses. There are also signs posted for not parking at the local deli next door, just avoid the south end of the building actually.“

“First time here. As a Mexican, it’s hard to find authentic, delicious Mexican food in the suburbs. I tried carnitas, asada, and al pastor tacos, they were delicious, flavorful and a lot of meat. The lady was very friendly, and attentive. My food was fresh. Will definitely come back to try more menu items. Gracias! 💝“
