La Llorona Street Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Lounge — Restaurant in Roselle

So this restaurant is in a spot where there is no parking. Their little lot could fit more than 2 cars but the way people were parked wouldn’t really allow you to back out easily.

I like the decor in the front room but the back reminds me of an old bar. The decor in the front dining room is nice even if they still have happy Valentine’s Day decor up and it’s August

Our waitress didn’t speak much English so there goes ordering to your desire bc you cannot express your desires. She didn’t offer us the happy hour menu even though this place boasts about their happy hour and we were there at 5pm, right smack dab in the middle of their happy hour. Nothing was happy about the prices.

There were two of us. We got one strawberry margarita each and they were each $20. They pack a nice punch but most of their drinks are around $20 and most of them use house liquor. Get outta here w that. I pay $13-$15 for margaritas w casamigos in most places so to pay for house crap and pay $20 is wild.

Tacos- we got el pastor and birria. Both were delicious and plentiful but $20 each. You get no sides. Nothing.

If you want to get chips and Guac- another $20. Why is it $20 for guacamole and chips? Crazy times we’re living in.

They don’t give you any chips and salsa to start. No sides. Everything is ala carte. So overrated. Don’t believe everything you see on TikTok or IG. And don’t expect any discounted drinks during happy hour. lol. And one napkin for messy birria tacos. I had to wait to get another. Take $4 off that gratuity bc I couldn’t even wipe my mouth.

Then for two people they added 18% gratuity. For what?! I couldn’t even communicate what I friggin wanted. I mean our server was nice and smiled a lot but that didn't help us much. That was the two stars for service bc she was nice and smiled but we could not communicate our wishes.

So for 2 people, two orders of tacos ( cant call it an entree bc nothing comes with it) and twi margaritas with gratuity, our bill was $98. I could’ve went to the Taco Foodtruck and been happier w the prices. I feel like this restaurant OWES me money for the trouble it took to find parking.

Highway friggin robbery for having to park a block away at that and not even be offered happy hour drinks. This isn't some classy restaurant but they're charging classy prices and "valet" parking w no one outside is an extra $5. lol.

I liked my tacos. they were good and plentiful but I will go elsewhere for them going forward. I also felt they had good flavor unlike some of the reviews I’ve read.

Ever hear the saying "one and done"? Never agin will La Llorona make a profit off of me w their ridiculous overpricing and crappy location.

I will spend money on a good meal and I will tip 20% or more but not when you decide for a party of two to throw a tip on and you can’t even communicate menu items with me.

Cheap money hungry establishment located in...

How they even got th rating they have I honestly don’t know. The service was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Literally waited over 15 min for a table when they actually had plenty of seating available. But it wasn’t that we waited. It was the snide rudeness of the Hostess. She LITERALLY SAID WAIT OUTSIDE AND CLOSED A RED DOOR IN OUR FACES. Then when we were FINALLY seated. We were told that it was a mistake and told to get up. And sat in a corner. Which I guess we were forgotten because we did not have a drink order taken for Literally over 45 minutes. And YESSSSS I TIMED IT. When we finally got some attention they gave us complimentary shots. Instead of just bringing the initial drinks we ordered. Whan we brought it to their attention. We were told WITH A CONDESCENDING TONE. That we could choose to have the drinks and Leave so because they didn’t want us to have a bad experience. Finally get our drinks. And then waited for our food. When I received it . I had silverware. To eat with. Mind you we are over an hour in waiting. So now I ask for a napkin and was given on cocktail napkin each. While other patrons had cloth napkins. So I asked for real napkins and he says, oh you want Fabric Napkins. And I responded to by saying I wanted the same napkins that the Hispanic patrons had next to us. So I couldn’t help but to notice that all the patrons that were NOT Hispanic did not have water or any chips or anything at their tables. The waiting was crazy. But the best is that when we get the expensive check they had the the Audacity to tip themselves 15%. What’s sad is that yes the ambience is cute but late Ricky Ricardo want to be ruin the vibe so bad with all his nonstop singing which I am I opinion was not meant for such a youthful crowd. The food was good but how did they want me to eat this triple Guacamole meal with one chip yes I said one chip. It didn’t even look like what I saw in the video. I felt robbed of so much. Although they try to compensate by giving us shots the service and the food portions was not worth what we paid for at all. Like honestly I couldn’t help but feel a little bit of their Racism towards my friend. Their ignorance of thinking that Spanish people only look one way is sad. Mind you I am a Hispanic woman and I saw right through them. All I can say about this place...

Terrible ! I’ve dined in multiple times and it’s been good ! I’ve ordered for delivery and it has been horrible each time they forget at least 2-3 items and give old stale food and offer no resolution when I call. I order straight from their website . Tonight was just the last time . I ordered over $200 worth of food as per usual . They forgot half of ny order and when I called the manager said the driver didn’t take the bag it’s his fault ! I’m like how if your giving him the stuff but ok. He said he couldn’t do anything and said “bueno and hung up on me” On top of it all we tried to make the best of it . The food was just horrible the elotes were like black brown like old . The cheese tasted like it was curd and left out all day. Then the quesadillas looked like they had fallen into the floor and they just grabbed and threw it in the to go container. There were like black and brown crumb like stuff on it . Which leads me to believe it did fall on the floor ! It was horrible disgusting . We ended up throwing all of the food away as everything looked mishandled. Just terrible . We ordered from their site couldn’t even request refund credit nothing and the manager well obviously didn’t care . We had to place an order with. Roques House at 1092 Elizabeth ave they were excellent great presentation a lot of food cheap and great service this will be my new go to for my family and I . Llorona is overpriced overrated and with this experience dirty. I’m sorry but not sorry . This place needs to improve on their customer service food presentation and insuring they get the food right along with fresh food . I never leave reviews like such but this definitely called for it . To the owner wow you should definitely speak to...
