    Bien Trucha absolutely delivers. The chicken taco was incredible--so smoky, rich, and packed with flavor. The elote corn was just as good, creamy and perfectly seasoned. I also tried a non-alcoholic tequila drink, and it blew me away--refreshing, balanced, and honestly one of the best NA cocktails I've had anywhere. But the real showstopper? The churros at the end. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and ridiculously good. I'd come back just for those alone. From start to finish, every bite felt thoughtful and full of flavor. Bien Trucha is a must-visit in Geneva.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants. I recommend making a reservation as it's very popular. It's a quaint place as well so it fills up quickly. My favorite place to sit is outside on the patio. All the tacos are delicious and I like that they rotate the menu every few months so there's always something new to try but that they also keep the tried and true classics. It's hard to say my favorite taco honestly because they're all so good. The drinks are also really good and my favorite is the strawberry margarita. Worth the higher price 1000%. I would come here every week if I could.

    Food is solid and the drinks are great. Ambience is really cool and our service was amazing. Hospitality was off the charts and much appreciated

    Great taco spot for Geneva! They have such a cute patio. We started with the tilapia ceviche. It was my first time have ceviche with tilapia. They paired it with a mango salsa. It was okay- the texture was throwing me off. I ate the whole thing but, I wouldn't order it again. All the tacos were great, my favorite were the fish tacos. It had a ton of flavor. I would definitely come back. I would love to try their breakfast menu.

    Hidden 3% fee which does not legally have to go to employees? Come on.

    Weird little space--was it once a residence? A hot dog stand? No one knows, but the tacos are impeccable and they have an avocado margarita (ahuacatl) which is hard to find. This is the same restaurant group as A Toda Madre in Glen Ellyn. Our one beef: stop the 3% hidden fee nonsense. In the state of Illinois restaurants can use that extra money for whatever they want.

    We received a gift card for this little gem and was not disappointed. We ordered drinks, a margarita and Pacifica beer. We started with the trio salsa appetizer, no longer on the menu. The salsas were fresh and spicy. We each ordered taco, the Bein Trucha and Carnitas, The carne asada were so good and covered with roasted serrano salsa. The pork shoulder was tender and so well done. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside on a hot, humid night and the indoor is intimate with cushioned benches. The service was excellent. Our waiter offered suggestions. A delicious Mexican restaurant in Geneva.

    Oh my goodness, we've been to this spot a few times, and it's always a delightful experience! The shrimp tacos? Hands down, the best I've ever tasted! I can't recommend them enough. The shrimp is perfectly crunchy, paired with a scrumptious sauce, and the beets on top add such a fun and unique twist. We loved them so much that we ordered more after finishing our first three half-orders of tacos! The plates are on the smaller side, which I actually love because it lets you mix and match with half or full-sized orders to explore all the different flavors. We've also tried a variety of dips and drinks here, and every single thing has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is super attentive, and our dishes always come out lightning fast. A must-visit spot for sure!

    Does Bien Trucha have a large tequila menu, like their Naperville restaurant (Quibo)?

    Yes they do and a great selection

    Do they have high chairs available?

    Trust me in the fact that you will not want to bring a child to Bien. You are practically sitting on top of the table next to you. It would be a super tight squeeze even if they did have them

My boyfriend had a variety of tacos (fish, shrimp, and ribeye steak) but the fish taco was his favorite. There were only 2-3 young men working the front of the house and they were hustling. They spoke very loud and clear (a good thing!) and stayed busy taking orders, cleaning tables, and checking on guests. Job well done to those hard workers. Inside is a bit tight. When we visited, a part of the restaurant was closed off for a party so seating was limited to the few tables up front. However, there are some tables outside and you're super close to St Mary's Park so you could always get your order to-go and picnic at the park.

Don't waste your time on asking for salsa verde because it tastes like nothing. The queso fundido is good but gets dry and hard fast. It's not very cheesy and melty like others I've had. Don't waste your time on the guac either, it's just mashed avocado. It needs some seasoning or spice or lime at minimum. And the chicken fajita's are absolutely awful. It was so disappointing. They have a very sweet and almost bbq-like taste. Also, you really don't get much chicken even. It's mostly just onions and peppers. I had to spit them out. The rice is good though. I'd some back for drinks and chips & salsa but that would really be it. The server was good and attentive and the restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day. It was cute.

Got the crispy steak tacos platter, lettuce had a hair and didn't noticed it until half way through my meal. Salsas tasted straight up like tomatoes, no flavor whatsoever, asked waitress if they had a more spicy salsa and she had an attitude about it. Said she could give me green salsa but not their fault if the jalapeños were not spicy. I'm Mexican and no one would convince me that the rice was not from the day before. Every attempt l made to have a friendly nice experience with this lady was in vain, she didn't smile nor even once even tho l was friendly and nice to her.

    4 stars for Hacienda Real restaurant…read more This is like an Uncle Julio's style Mexican restaurant, tasty food but it is kind of pricey. The tacos were very tasty, I loved the house made hot sauce (spicy!) and the shrimp enchiladas were also tasty.

At night you are greeted with a low light atmosphere that is set for a girl's night or date night. The music is blasting, which is a complete downside, but the decor is excellent. My husband and I went on two occasions and the service is truly 3 stars. Both experiences shared the unusual lack of service from the wait staff and the bar. We chose to sit at a bar our first time and we waited 15-20 minutes before someone asked us our order. We then did a table experience and our waiter, Angela/Angie seemed so busy that she couldn't connect with us at the table. At one point she walked off as I was speaking to her because someone advised her that the manager called her name. Mind blown! She realized that I was a bit shocked that she walked away while I was talking and course corrected ‍. Service disaster! The food was mediocre. It was served warm, I assume this is because it was so busy. The flavor was good, but because it was served warm....and it was so busy, we didn't bother sending it back. My take on HR is that they have created a beautiful space, but the service is not top tier. The food is not nasty, but this would not be my first choice for Mexican cuisine.

They brought a small bowl of chips and had three different types of salsa in plastic bottles (like the old style ketchup and mustard ones at diners) with three small dishes to put them in. Chips were thick, crispy, and salty. Not sure if they have free refills, as we finished our chips rather fast and they took the bowl away afterwards. I ordered the 22 oz strawberry margarita and it was probably one of the best margs I've had. Came with strawberry slices in the drink and a tajin rim. Great deal for $10. I ended up getting three tacos traditional style: Birria, steak, and chorizo. The birria one was really good, just wish the tortilla was dipped in juice like some of the other birria tacos I've had. It was my first time having chorizo, and I would order it again. The steak taco was good, but nothing special. Service was a little slow despite there only being one other table, but our table was talking anyway so it wasn't too much of an issue. Overall, would go back if I was in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to go there.
