Found yet another locally owned Mexican restaurant in Belvidere. Gomez is actually pretty clean and…read morespacious compared to many others around it. It also has a pretty big menu. Actually impressive how much one can get. The prices are okay for portions. Coming here the first time we had assumptions about what it would be like of course. It's actually a lot better than expected. The thing is it still needs lots of improvement after several years. A lot of confusion about what got ordered. Pretty slow and took forever to get service. As with any of these places, there has to be alcohol. It's about $11 for a margarita. These come in a few flavors including peach. It's about $9 for the Vegan Burrito. We each got this and this is filled with avocado, beans, and other stuff. A lot of the menu is meaty. They have chips and guacamole for one of the few choices for vegetarians. A lot of authentic items. They even have tongue and tripe. Getting anything here is a chore. It's closed Mondays. There's not much to get for vegetarians.

I'm so 1000% grossed out. This is our 1st and last visit. We all ordered margaritas. A frozen…read morewatermelon, a cucumber marg and chamamango marg. The cuk marg had about 6 fruit flies the calhamamango tasted like mango tomato soup but the watermelon marg was okay. The food, we ordered cheese dip, a seafood chimichanga and Texana (3 meat) fajitas. The chimichanga was mid. The fajitas had shrimp and beef but they boy 3 pieces of chicken. The best part of the fajitas were the onions and peppers. The beans and rice both tasted microwaved and from 4 days ago. It was awful! And finally the service. Meh, let's go with if I can't say anything nice I shouldn't say anything. So we will leave that right there. The food runner/ bus person was a better server. And I foresee this business shutting down in 6 months. On a side note it was not busy at all. They should definitely spend some time cleaning!

My sister-in-law and I both really enjoy Mexican food. We have stopped here many times and I have…read morestopped by myself several times whenever I'm in the area. I seem to always order the same thing. Chicken chimichanga plate with rice and beans. We're always seated immediately and are served tortilla chips and salsa right away. Their guacamole is made fresh and is delicious! Definitely give this place a try.

I remember when this was a fast food joint, but the interior now is totally different. We were impressed with the change. We were able to be seated quickly. For a Sunday it was pretty busy. They've several TVs around the restaurant so you can watch while eating. The menu is pretty extensive and has something for everyone. Lucky us, they had 5 dollar jumbo lime margaritas and 10 dollar fajitas for their specials that night. We were like sold! The husband saw queso and chips on the menu... needless to say we ordered it ASAP. The queso was pretty damn good. Not bland nor was it watery. Very addicting!! The jumbo frozen margaritas were strong and hit the spot. If I weren't driving, I would've had at least 1 or 2 more. Next time tho!! The chicken fajitas were massive. We honestly expected small portions considering it was the special. It was huge! The fajitas were outstanding. Lots of flavors and super tender. My mom and husband finished theirs. I only had room for half of it. Gotta save room for dessert!! The churro dessert we ordered was to die for. The dessert came in a huge cup with ice cream topped with caramel along with 4 churros. We all inhaled that dessert!! We left full and happy. Great spot overall! Great service and food. Definitely coming back next time I am in town.

The chips and salsa were pretty good too. Great service! Nice booths! I rank this place above Cantina Taco. One of the very few Mexican Food places that I would frequent again.

FINALLY a Taco Spot that has REALLY HOT SALSA!…read more I am one of those crazy folks that love to eat uncomfortably hot stuff. I am usually disappointed by sauces that are either not hot enough or hot but don't taste good. Cantina Taco is not one of those places. Their salsa's are DELICIOUS and the pack a punch. I experienced Very Friendly Staff, and very quick service. I ordered Two Tacos, Black bean and Vegan Chorizo with an order of beans and rice. I got their 4 alarm salsa and their Mango Habanero to go with those and a Large Horchata. Everything was VERY very good. The Mango Habanero almost seemed spicier to me and had SO much flavor. I would go back just to get that. THe 4 alarm salsa was also very good but a totally different flavor profile. The Tacos were very generously portioned. The Tacos themselves were good but with the Salsa's they were great. The Rice and beans were good but the portion was a little small. The Horchata was delicious and helped cool me off from the Hot Salsas. I am already preparing to return so that I can try other items of their menu.

We got our food and finished it just in time to see the show. Most people don't realize the pace these employees were working to make that happen, not just for us, but everyone in their restaurant. They were hauling! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything coming out of their kitchen looked equally amazing. They did a great job. We ordered a taco each, and split chips and salsa and rice and beans. The place is clean, cheery, and can't be beat!

Has a pretty basic menu of Mexican American favorites. The margaritas are better than the food it seems. Anyone can figure out this isn't going to be authentic. It may be just what you expect from a Mexican restaurant in this kind of town. The drinks may be the best things as far as value. It's about $6.50 for a pretty big margarita. These may not be strong, but they're pretty good tasting. As for the food, it's food. There's the usual like burritos and tacos. Protein choices are all meaty. There's not a whole lot for vegetarians. It's $6.50 for Chips And Guacamole. The chips tasted pretty old and stale. Basic. The guacamole was pretty plain to be honest. Come here and don't expect much to be good. It may be good for the locals. Those who know more about Mexican food won't like the food as much though.
