Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Their Chorizo is clearly homemade (if not here, then somewhere nearby) and has a very interesting blend of spices-- not your typical Chorizo-- it has something in it like cinnamon or cardamom, which gives it an extra layer of flavor normally not present in Chorizo. My son had nachos supreme with chorizo and it was a really nice change from the normal. They serve chips and salsa with three different sauces, a homemade red sauce, a creamy Jalapeno sauce and a spicier... I'll call it "yellow" sauce. All very good, and a nice change from what you typically get. (don't be thrown by the squeeze bottles...it isn't ketchup) I had a very substantial torta on a fresh roll with marinated pork, and it includes fresh avocado as a standard topping - nice touch. The place isn't fancy, and it's not exactly on the beaten path, but the food is reasonable and made to order. A good place for lunch. They also have quite a lot of non-mexican stuff like burgers and hot dogs and even Gyros-- much more than a typical mexican place. Not sure exactly what they're trying to cater to there, but if you have kids that don't like mexican, there is probably something they will eat on this menu. If you want their more authentic mexican stuff, then go on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, when their menu adds and extra page of traditional mexican specialties.

Very cozy and clean place. Kind of "off the beaten" path. Only found this through a groupon offer. There were six of us, and upon arrival were immediately greeted and treated to chips and three tasty salsas to begin. They have handmade tortillas on weekends do we all ordered from the weekend special menu. Food took longer than I expected but was reasonable considering its ALL made from scratch. The food was fresh and tasted great! The green sauce has a smooth creamy taste with a giant kick! Try it. I would give this hole in the wall (that's a good thing) 5 stars if they ramp up their service a bit. We had to ask for more chips, forgot silverware, and they gave me quesadillas instead of Gorditas; which was ok since they gave them to me for same price. I'd definitely be back to try the other items on the menu!

ok tacos. I went in early for lunch. They just reheated the meat from yesterday. Common guys dont do that. Thats a quick way to loose customers. The service was ok. I think the wifi was not working. The salsa was ok. Family owned. I will try again maybe the cold chicago winter is affecting the meat and temperature ratios.

Doesn't even deserve one star. The green salsa tasted like mayonnaise mixed with cilantro and the red like ketchup mixed with chipotle peppers. There is nothing authentic about the Mexican food. If you are looking for greasy and tasteless bar food this is the place for you! My husband is still on the toilet and it's almost time for bed.

Went to Gail Borden my local library in Downtown Elgin and needed to take an alternate route home because there is construction from March to August and my exit McLean Boulevard from Route 20 (Lake Street) is closed all day long, so I turned from Route 31 onto Highland. While driving down Highland I spotted this restaurant on the corner of Highland and Washington Street which I never would have known about, had there been no construction & closed exit on Route 20. I decided to take a chance and stop as it was well past lunchtime and I could feel my Hypoglycemia start to kick in. Having recently gone back to eating Gluten & Dairy Free, 99% of the time I can usually find something I can eat at a Mexican Restaurant. I decided to order the Taco Platter which came with 3 tacos with my choice of fillings. I choose one with chicken, one with steak, and one with chorizo (Mexican sausage) on corn tortillas which comes topped with fresh cilantro and onions if you want, which I did, I also asked for tomato, lettuce and avocado to be added in. The platter comes with rice & refried beans all for $7.95. I did not realize it was going to still be 25 cents extra for an avocado slice on each of my tacos as I did not get cheese or sour cream as I am avoiding dairy. Originally I ordered Guacamole but when I found out it would be $4.50 I took a pass as it would be more then I wanted for one meal. I placed my order as a carry-out because the doors were open to the restaurant and there were bees flying in and out, being allergic to bees, wasps, hornets, etc. I do not want to take the chance of getting stung and needing to use my Epi-pen just to eat something, the service was very fast. Once I arrived home to eat my food I was delighted with the flavor/seasoning/taste of all my taco fillings, the corn tortillas were very good despite being on the soggy side. Perhaps if I had eaten at the restaurant this might not have happened? The rice was good but not great due to an excess of salt for my taste buds. The refried beans were topped with cheese which disappointed me as I said no cheese. I picked out the cheese and the rest of the beans were very good. The girl at the counter told me on Fridays from 10AM-7PM and Sat-Sun 8AM-4PM they have weekend specials of Gorditas, Quesadillas, Sopes, Huaraches, Menudo, & Taco Rojos all hand made with Natural Corn Flour. I am excited about going back and trying Pumpkin Flower, Corn Truffle or Mushroom Quesedilla's. They also have traditional American fair on the menu: Burgers, Italian Beef, Polish Sausage, Chili, Corn Dog, Pizza Puff, Cheese Sticks, Onion Rings, Buffalo Wings, Fries, Nachos, Shrimp Cocktail, Hot Dog, Chili Dog, Gyros, Chicken & Fish Sandwich. There are some American items with Mexican twists the Guacamole Burger, Chori-Burger, A La Diabla Shrimp, Taco Salad, Los Dorados, Chori Dog and assorted beverages.
