5 stars for El Vado!…read more This is a really nice sit down Mexican restaurant in McHenry with authentic food, they're famous for their Margaritas as well. I got to try the Enchilada Dinner - very tasty, generous portion that comes with 3 enchiladas, rice, beans and salad. And I also got to try the Shrimp Diabla plate - delicious! The sauce was perfect, a mix of spicy, smoky and creamy - it also came with fresh tortillas. The service was good, workers were all attentive and friendly. I highly recommend El Vado if you're looking for authentic Mexican food in McHenry.

The tacos were flavorful and had warm fresh tortillas. The ceviche was excellent and so fresh. All the salsas we tried were obviously home made and very fresh and flavorful too. We both like spicy and loved the level of spice, so for some they may be a little hot. Highly, highly recommend as a great eat in lunch spot or big orders to go. We were there for about 45 mins for lunch and they had tons of to go orders! We will definitely be back to try more things because everything looked and smelled amazing.

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!
