La Mexicana Buena Vista — Restaurant in Crystal Lake

Deliciouso.. Loved the food, a completely filling chorizo and egg burrito (chorizo con huevos)! My appa got Chilaquiles con bistec y asado, muy es buenito (Soft tortillas covered with sauce topped in steak with a side of rice and beans) Can't wait to come back and try their other options, the food was amazing! Loved their sauces, great options.. salsa Verde (green) taste very sweet but continues to have a peppery taste to it! Salsa Roja (red) has a VERY strong peppery taste with a little kick to it! Habernero sauce has a STRONG kick to it, if you like spice then definitely try it, all of their sauces are really good and up with other Mexican places me and my appa have stopped in! I will continue to go here, even if you think it's pricey.. just remember they also have to make enough to keep up with economy! Around 13 for a big burrito, 5 ish bucks for a large horchata, Steak breakfast dinner stated earlier costed around 20$.. very expected in today's standards, great service.. the cook and the lady upfront were very kind and loved when I gave compliments in Spanish, they laughed about it and we said our thanks! They offer candies when you're checking out and they have a selection of chips or Salsa if you'd like to add any containers or bags to go! Super yummy...

Had the steak torta, and it was phenomenal. As I ate my torta it had so many different flavors that blended together it was absolutely beautiful. I was kinda wondering what the price would bring me, and the outcome was this Mexican sandwich that melted in my mouth with the surprisingly exquisite meats they seasoned to perfection. I ate half because it was a decent amount, and ate the other half 7 hours later without refrigeration. I did that to test the quality to see if it can withstand avocado, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise sauces stuff like subway southwest looking sauce that kicked it up that notch, and it all seemed to be stable. Good food usually can stand a lil bit of time being out since it's cooked. I'll definitely be going back...

Placed an order over the phone, woman told me it would be ready in about 30 minutes which I completely understand. My boyfriend and I get there to pick up the order and all the cooks are just chatting away not even paying attention to the food on the grill letting it burn, we ask If our order is ready and she said no the cook has to clean off the grill. Fine, understandable. Another 30 minutes go by and our food wasnt even being made yet and then another person walked in that placed an order over the phone and his food wasnt even being cooked either. We walked out. Wasted an hour of our time. We have been here before when the service used to be so much better. Now I do not recommend coming here. Used to be good food. Now just...
