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.

I love Taqueria Chapala! If you want authentic street tacos and a great burrito, this is the place! The guacamole is not to be missed!

I think the chicken has amazing flavor and the tacos are good too. However, I rate them 3 stars based on cleanliness and lack of temperature regulation. There has been several times I get my order and the chicken is not fully cooked. They have the potential to be great if they address the consistency issue.

Driving by and was looking for a quick bite to eat. I am glad I spotted this joint from the road. I ordered two chicken tacos and a coke, and they were great. They came with grilled onions, jalapenos, and some fresh lime. The hot sauce they have on the table is outstanding! They have a special for a whole chicken that I will have to come back to try out.

The Elgin Barbeque place cross the street wouldn't serve us because it was 20 minutes to close. At 10. On a Saturday. So we went here... AWESOME! AMAZING! The staff was fantastic: quickly greeted, took drink orders and brought it back in less than 5 mins from door to drink. Food orders were less than 5 mins on delivery to table as well. Food is 10 out of 10! Got the el pastor pork and carne asada tacos...EXCELLENT! Give them a shot, it's totally worth it!

I've only been once. I had two tacos, one carne asada and one al pastor. The place itself is the quasi-sit-down sort of Mexican joint you find all over Elgin. It seemed like tables were being waited, but I got my stuff to go. The place smelled a bit funny, but that's pretty typical for such places. It seemed like the kitchen was busy with a large catering order at the time. The tacos are quite cheap - around $0.99, making them cheaper than both of their nearby neighbors (La Flor and Los Comales). Both tacos were good enough, and the corn tortillas are fairly dark and pretty 'earthy', for lack of a better word. The al pastor was a bit charred, but that's pretty common. Not lots of pastor flavor there. If it's pastor you want, La Flor has a very distinctive recipe I think is much better. The steak was pretty ordinary, and that's not a bad thing. The tacos are 'authentic' in the sense that they are served with onions and cilantro instead of lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Most places have this option, but some, like La Flor (I believe), will serve the Americanized version unless you order tacos 'Mexicano'. Service was a bit gruff, but not surly. I'd give the place 3.5 stars. I would go again, just to dig deeper into the menu, especially to try a whole burrito. I feel like it's difficult to gauge the quality from tacos only. Most places in the area make perfectly acceptable tacos.
