Best WLM Reviews

Better than average Mexican restaurant for the area. Not amazing but good. The chorizo flautas, pork tamales and chicken enchiladas were good. Best tamales I've bought at a restaurant or store in a long time. Nice smokey flavor.
The food was fantastic! Salsa was very fresh and had a little kick, which I like. My son loved the beans! Horchata was beyond good, not to sugary or to watered down.
Now This Is A Burrito!
We have been going to Tacos El Norte as part of our regular dining out rotation for years and they never disappoint. The ladies behind the counter and also serving are super pleasant and friendly, always greeting diners with a smile, a warm Hello! and Sit Wherever You Like. I am a burrito fan and after this visit I had to post this. Burritos come three ways. All three come with a flour tortilla, filled with chicken or beef, lettuce, tomato, not too many beans and cheese for $8.99. You can also order it as Burrito Suizo Especial which also includes guacamole and sour cream, then topped with a ranchero sauce and melted cheese - our favorite way for $12.40! And for those that are super hungry, try the Papi Burrito Especial for $12.99. A mega tortilla wrap that comes out looking like a ranchero and cheese topped football. Onions and cilantro can be added by request to any of these. Large condiment bottles of homemade red and green sauces are brought to the table and use as much as you like. I prefer the green as the red is just a little to spicy for me. As my picture shows, the regular Burrito Especial is huge and we order it so we can bring home half to eat the next day. You know this place is the real deal and priced right when you see the volume of carry out business they do at dinner time. Burrito fans - give them a try.
Free chips and salsa!
Good horchata!
Huge burritos!
Overall, pretty good and very decently priced.
Tacos were good as well.
Friendly service as well!
They service alcohol too.
Very authentic. They don't fill your burritos up with beans, like most places. They also have fantastic texmex as well.
Good food but needs work on service. Waitress was not attentive at all but will come back because of good food but as takeout not dine in
Love this place for having lunch! The staff is really friendly and the food is great. The atmosphere and music is authentic and I feel at home here.
My favorite fish is the Torta Cubana and I'm proud I'm among the few of my friends who can finish it all in one sitting. Some people would find it to be a bit oily though so be warned. We tried the shrimp taco too and it was great as well.
I recommend getting the Jarritos instead of Coke products as they're like fizzed juices which is a very different feeling. My favorite would be the Apple Jarritos.
5 star experience overall and highly recommended.
Best place in McHenry to purchase Tacos with a large Menu. Prices are not outrageous and has fast friendly service on my takeout order. I've tried others in and around McHenry and this one ranked #1
