Flan - delicious!!
Heather M.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles. The ambiance is nice and the staff is very friendly. Antigua offers happy hour during the week Monday through Thursday from 2pm until 5pm with a variety of cocktails, beer and margaritas to choose from for $5.99. The mango margarita and also the guava margarita were both excellent! They also offer 1/2 off select appetizers. The small guacamole was fresh and delicious. They are for a skirt steak and chili relleno combination platter that were both fantastic and amble for two people and their chili relleno is not overly spicy. Their flan tasted homemade and was delicious! I give this place 4.5 stars! I will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a quick dinner on a Thursday night so it wasn't busy at all. Our food came out quick. Chips & salsa were great, but beware - the spicy salsa is super spicy! We shared the enchiladas, one each chicken, steak, and beef. Beef was a bit underwhelming but steak & checked were great. The guacamole was disappointing, it seemed like they added extra stuff to make it a larger serving (chunk tomatoes) and it just fell flat. Margarita was on point though! This would be a great place for a large group or happy hour.

Guac appetizer and Patron margarita.

First time and we loved it . We had chicken fajitas, enchiladas, and tacos - all cooked perfectly and delicious. Service was very attentive. Odette was a gem. Martin Lopez played the violin to contemporary music and sang Mexican ballads - a great part of the atmosphere. Looking forward to returning soon and bringing friends.

Lunch Review! Visited Antigua in Algonquin as a first timer and enjoyed myself. The inside is a mix of authentic decor, bright murals, neon signs, and mosaic tiles. The restaurant seemed quite large overall. Was tried some of the queso and guacamole with chips to start. The guacamole was alright hut I really enjoyed the queso. Complimentary salsa trios were also okay. For my entree, I got the taco salad which I liked. It was pretty greasy which ended yo making my stomach hurt later that day. I saw others get a variety of tacos which looked much more intriguing. Food didn't take long to come out after ordering. Overall, not a bad local Mexican spot. They looked to have a good variety of tequilas and cocktails which would be fun over dinner.

El Patron and roasted pineapple margarita.

Really outstanding Mexican food and incredible cocktails! The service was great as well. Our server was absolutely lovely and she made great recommendations for us. The steak dishes were top-notch and cooked perfectly. We had four of the different margaritas and all were delicious and flavorful. You could tell the bartender knew what he was doing, and that the drinks were made with love. My favorite was the one with the roasted pineapple. We will definitely be back!

My opinion has changed about this place. The management and service has seemed to be revamped and the food here is great, always hits the spot. The decoration is great for taking pictures.

the interior of the restaurant

It is so good to see life in this restaurant once again, after years of it sitting empty, and years of dim lights and quiet Italian music prior to that. The bright colors and loud Latin beats really transform this place from dust?-ick! to rustic, and the wall tiles and murals are especially eye-catching. Having just recently opened, it was expected that service might need to work out some kinks, and there were a few issues, but attitude was not one, and that's what counts. When we received our entrees and it was mentioned that the ceviche appetizer never made it to our table, we got a heartfelt apology, and then when we left, the ceviche to go, at no charge. Again, when you're new, there will be issues, but how you handle them says everything. All the food was good, as were the portions, and since the place is a bit upscale compared to a neighborhood Mexican joint, you'll pay a bit more for that. But chances are, the neighborhood joint won't have seafood stuffed pineapple on the menu. If you happen to be celebrating a birthday (there must've been at least three on the night we visited), be prepared for the guest of honor to be given a sombrero, along with a song featuring ratcheting noisemakers (like the New Years kind, but way beefed up) from the waitstaff.

Good food and wine and the cake portions were huge. My personal preference was that I didn't like…read morethe chicken in the build your own pasta. Service was excellent. The whole Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The exposed brick made for a cool room and back drop for eating.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in McHenry County...and easily our go-to for date nights…read more We've been here multiple times, and I can honestly say we've never had a bad dish. The food is consistently incredible, and the portions are huge...you'll definitely be taking some home for lunch the next day. One thing that really sets Cucina Bella apart is the layout and atmosphere. They have three distinct seating areas, and each gives you a totally different experience. If you're looking for a more upbeat, lively vibe, grab a table near the bar. For a quieter, more romantic date night, the main dining room is perfect. They also have an overflow dining area, which is great when they're busy (and they usually are for a reason). The wine selection is excellent, and the bar staff can make just about any cocktail you're in the mood for. Whether you're celebrating something special, going out on a first date, or just want a great Italian meal, this place delivers every time. If you're anywhere near Algonquin and craving Italian, this spot is an absolute must!
