Hands down the BEST tacos in the Naperville/Plainfield surrounding area. I would go to bat for…read morethese tacos. The restaurant is located inside the BP gas station on 135th in Plainfield. When my brother first told me about the "amazing gas station tacos", I was a little skeptical to be honest. After trying them just one time, I became a HUGE fan. I typically order two Alambre tacos which contains a blend of steak and chorizo, topped with grilled bell pepper, onions, and cheese. It only took one bite for me to fall in love. Make it a dinner for around $2 more and you get an order of rice and beans on the side. The staff are amazing and are super dedicated to maintaining great taste, variety, and reasonable prices! Definitely worth trying La Nueva Taqueria!

I think the setup is nice and inviting, which is perfect for both casual meals and family dinners. I saw a table of ~12 when I visited!

Checked out this hip Mexican restaurant in Normal off the campus area. Hacienda Leon isn't…read moreauthentic but it's not like it's bad. It feels more like a place people come to get drinks than to come to get food though. For sure the drinks are pretty good. The food includes the basics like burritos and tacos slopped with cheese and sauce. A popular place to go for ISU students with it being so close to campus. It won't be a long way to stumble back to dorms or apartments for them. This place may not be as good when sober, so take a lesson and have some tequila and whatever. Best thing is the prices aren't that bad. It's about $7 for a tequila sunrise. Have a few and spew. It's about $12 for the Vegetarian Combos, of which there's a few of these. Among these is the one with two bean burritos. These come with burrito sauce and cheese sauce. I got it a little healthier without the cheese sauce and it was still a sloppy mess. That just makes it more fun though. For sure it's not authentic but that's not the appeal. It's a place to have a fun time with good drinks and okay food. They have a pretty good amount of food options for vegetarians.

The short rib enchiladas were really good, and the queso was great too. It had almost a…read morefondue-style feel, which I liked. Service could definitely use some work. My server was pretty slow and seemed distracted, sometimes gone for 20 minutes at a time. I basically had to lock eyes with him just to get his attention. He was a younger guy, so hopefully he tightens that up. Also, if someone notes in their reservation that they're bringing a baby and a car seat, it would make more sense to seat them at a booth instead of in the middle of the restaurant, especially when booths are open. Overall, I'd say it was about a 7/10 experience.

I ordered a taco salad and a Paloma. Still no Paloma. It's a drink. There is one person seated at the bar.

Check has a Paloma on it. Server notices and goes to take it off. Skip Blanco. Go anywhere else. If they can't even bring a DRINK? Like come on. About out to the hostess for offering me a bag for my salad. Still, do better guys.

I went back a couple weeks ago and of course they didn't have what i wanted (chicken birria taco meal) but I was starved so I believe I ordered the chicken enchiladas... They were clearly having trouble with the debit/credit card equipment.. I had $45 in my apple wallet , I scanned it twice for a meal that was $15 , I left with $15 in my wallet and NO FOOD ! The guy says it never " went through " but it went somewhere , because I'm out of $30 ... They made no efforts to rectify the situation .. I ended up eating Wendy's that day. Never again.

A huge menu, incredibly friendly service despite the linguistic barriers, and classic Spanish fütball on the TV. My parents dishes were huge for the price, very tasty all over from horchatta to my mom's vegan burrito. My sister noticed the beef in her dish was tough, must have been an older cut because mine was fine. The interior atmosphere is copied from a Magdalena spot I visited some years ago. The Tuesday tacos are amazing. Shrimp and sausage fajitas are my pick, horchata is that authentic treat I'll take any day over the American sodas, and no other place in town gets everything right consistently like here.

Vanessa took care of us very well and the food was very good. One thing I definitely recommend if you're ordering steaks is to order it one less temperature down, they bring the skirt steak on a hot rock so I feel like it keeps cooking it and it can get well done if you leave it on it long enough. We will definitely be back this summer and enjoy their outside patio.
