Mexican Restaurants near Machesney Park

“Just enjoyed some wonderful meals, despite being very busy. Had chicken fajitas, chicken mole with margaritas. All very tasty, excellent service & glad we came.“

“And don't stop at Taco John's very often. But Saturday night around 11:00 there wasn't many options so I pulled in and they had their two fiesta tacos for $5 and I have to say they were actually quite good nice chunks of chicken I was actually quite impressed. I believe you get a choice between steak or chicken for their tacos. Definitely going to have to stop in again.“

“Waited in a long line just to hear that it was going to take another 20 minute wait for white rice to be done. This is unacceptable and they should've already had white rice in the cooker when they noticed that it was half way done. We ended up just leaving with no chipotle.

This is an update to my previous review : We haven't experienced any more waits at this location & the food always tastes fresh when we go. We get chipotle atleast once a week and it's always 10/10 now 😁“

“Depends when you go there sometimes my food is really good and hot and all the cheese and what not is melted then other times it's "OK" not bad but just OK but overall compared to alot of the tbells in the area its solid“

“We visited Lucha Canting for the first time tonight. It was excellent! I just moved back here after living in Austin, TX, for many years. I wasn't expecting the food and atmosphere to be as good and inviting as they were. I told my dinner companion the food was as tasty as any Mexican food I've had in TX, and it was beautifully presented. The way in which the restaurant was decorated made me feel like I was back in Texas! Lastly, our server was excellent. He checked on us just the right amount, and got our food out in good time. All in all, it was quite a pleasant experience!“

“I stopped in after not having been there in several years, when I used to come in every Christmas with my (3) kids. I have so many fond memories of bringing my kids, family and friends here. I had their famous Chicken “Buggy Burrito” along with chips and their authentic white cheese and salsa dip… it was even better than I remembered !!! I met Frankie and he was very attentive and gave me excellent service!!! I mentioned that I wanted to have their famous “Chicken Buggy Burrito” before I have surgery next week & Frankie even offered to say a prayer for me for a speedy and full recovery as well as even buying me a beer! That’s the kind of thing that makes You know how much they care about their customers and their experience when dining at Los Cocos Locos of Alvarez!!! Thank You Again & I’ll be Back Soon!!!

“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would!

I ordered some veggie tacos since I'm vegetarian and they hadn't taken a veggie taco order before but they were more than willing to put the order together for me! One of the owners also said that he'd look into adding on more vegetarian options in the future which was super generous of him to say and look into!

They also put in a couple of what had to be churro cookies that were incredibly delicious! I could order a whole pack of those cookies and still want more!

The tacos were amazing and delicious! You also can't beat the price here so definitely be sure to give these amazing people your love and support for their restaurant as you won't be disappointed!

I will be a returning customer without a doubt! :)

Thank you so much!!!
❤️🤎💛💚💙💜“

“Excelent service and the food is delicious!!!“

“visiting from Tennessee, had wonderful service. food is great, very friendly staff and the food was great, I recommend the fajita bowl!“

“I’ve stopped in 2x now for takeout and have tried the quesabirria tacos, chicken tinga tostada, ribeye tacos, fish tacos, carnitas tacos (and burrito), and carne molina (ground beef) tacos. The chicken tinga is amazing and everything I’ve had was on point. The carnitas burrito had rice in it, which I don’t like, so next time I will order it without. The service is quick and the servers are friendly. I like this place and recommend that you give them a spin.“

“Just had the nachos, chicken quesadilla, and guacamole. Wow, everything is delicious. The guacamole is outstanding!! We will be ordering for the office more. Thank you!“

“The best in Rockford had others but nothing taste so good but their food totally awesome everything they have taste great my favorite is the chimmy shredded beef and the steak fajitas are out of this word. I won’t ever eat at another Mexican place but here. I rate them a BIG 10 !!!!!!“

“random stop for a potty break and this taco truck was there. food is very good and he was very friendly.“

“Delicioso experience at Dos Reales Mexican Restaurant in Rockford! The skinny margarita was a highlight - super tasty and refreshing! The Pollo Ranchero dish was excellent, packed with flavor. And the complimentary salsa was fresh and perfectly paired with the crispy tortilla chips. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!“

“Great Food excellent service !“

“This place is similar to Chipotle. Do not go to Chipotle. I like that they make their tortilla shells in front of you and you can see them cook the meat and the veggies. I like that their steak isn't chewy and it always cooked well. Their prices are better than Chipotle too.“

“great food, huge portions, excellent customer service“

“Great food all the time. Great service and weekend night are fun karaoke nights.“

“Dine in or carry out food is always excellent along with great service.“

“This a pretty solid taco bell. But CONSISTENTLY every time I order a stacker with steak, and rice around 5pm, I get about 1+ inch of empty tortilla on top of the item. Like come on. I'm already paying $0.90 cents for steak. And another $0.90 cents for the rice and sauce I but I get way less food than if I were to order beef instead. A manager must work around this time who's a real stickler on portions. But every other item is great and every time I go the workers are wonderful. The food is really good. That's my only complaint is all the empty tortilla I gotta bite through to get a bite with some food. Hope this can change in the future“

“Las micheladas estan muy buenas y el servicio de alma exelente 👌“

“Super good food, the beef fajitas and shrimp are my favorite.Dinner for me and husband every week .“

“We decided to check this place out, we were not disappointed. The food is pretty good.“

“I wanna start by saying the food and employees haven't been an issue once for me but the app is another story. Every time I try to click contact us on the app or the web It allows me to fill everything out but won't let me.submut it. So now it's being left as a review for everyone to see instead of just the company. I will be deleting the app once I have my money refunded to my account AGAIN. I've ordered / tried to order food on your app I wanna say at least 12-13 times this month, out of those 12-13 times I got charged for my order but the app says error and doesn't send over the order at least 8 or 9 times. But the worse part is not only do I get charged for the food and have to wait for a refund I then can't even get the food I was trying to order / the price because it's online exclusive items / pricing. I have to buy my food again and end up losing my rewards points on top of paying more for the food. Just complete garbage of an app.But like I said I'll be deleting it after I get my money refunded again and just stick to the other fast food chains that I haven't had an issue with.“
