El Vado used to be my favorite Mexican Restaurant in McHenry County. The food was good, the service…read morewas friendly, and the prices were fair. Plus, it seemed to be run by women, which gave the place a festive family feel. But then some loud young guy took over the restaurant floor, acting like a slick, fake salesman and messed up the whole vibe. The menu became all glossy pictures of food, as if suburban folk needed to see photos of the Tacos & Enchiladas in order to know what their names meant. After that my girlfriend and I stopped coming here. It only takes ONE bad experience.

Then after studying the menu for a while and her explaining how to order off of it, I realized it was so limited. Tacos, quesadilla, burrito, and torta. That's it no enchiladas, no tostadas, nothing else just a really lame basic menu. I apologized to the woman and told her there was nothing that I was interested in and left. I can't really critique the quality of the food since I didn't have it. Just the two stars is in reference to the limited menu.

The brisket was better than the pork. The only thing I wished was that I wanted it to be more smoky. The barbecue pork was decent, but I would definitely want to try the ribs during the weekend. He was very nice and very accommodating and added in some sweet pickled jalapeños, which were phenomenal. The brisket sandwich was definitely a good hit. Had the coleslaw and mac & cheese...and that was not bad at all!Had a little bit more mayo than expected with a tad of vinegar, which was OK. Overall, it was a very good lunch/dinner. (by the way, I liked the Kansas City better than the Texas but Texas sauce was also very good! They make their own homemade sauce by the way ) Nick was a great conversational piece and they are going to be starting with a food truck pretty soon which is gonna be pretty neat. He does take a lot of pride in his work, and it shows! So I guess keep an eye open for that. Nice job, Nick. I'll give you the next star an update this review once I have your ribs. Is that a Deal? (because I'm a big-time rib guy.) Thanks again Nick!
