    Chicken Fajita Salad
    Caron C.

    We used to love this place, big portions and reasonable but wait! Did they change ownership? Portions we smalll and prices were waaaay up! So sad...

    Taco dinner
    NiNi F.

    Quite surprised in Sat night it wasn't crowded. It was only my party and 2 other parties. The place was clean and service was quick. I got the text dinner, grilled chicken and barbacoa. I was not a fan of either. The chicken was grilled perfectly but no taste to it. The barbacoa was a bit fatty. My daughter had steak and it was good. I should've got that. Margarita was good.

    Stopped by here on the way back from a weekend in Chicago after finding the strong recommendations for Los Cantaritos here on Yelp. It's a nondescript spot from the outside in a strip mall (with plenty of parking). The inside is bright and well decorated and the whole staff was very friendly. I have a theory about finding great inexpensive places for lunch by watching where the guys with the hard hats go, and I was glad to see plenty of reflective safety vests clad people among the customers. The salsa was good and the chips were freshly fried. We ordered the Flautas de Pollo, a Taco Salad, Sopes, and Carnitas Tacos. Portions were big and everything we ordered tasted great - super happy we found this spot!

    Vegetarian burrito and cheese quesadilla

    This was a great new spot! It is tucked away and feels like a hidden gem in this strip mall. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was great. A lot of places in the area don't have great chips/salsa or margaritas, but both were stellar! The ambiance is simple but clean too. We ordered 2 margaritas and they were perfectly strong and didn't taste like they just came from a mix. Also ordered 2 different dinners and the quality was fabulous. We will return!

    Chicken burrito with everything

    The first time I was here I loved this place, but on my return visit I was extremely disappointed. The Al pastor used to be my favorite in the area but now it's my least. The meat was bland, full of gristle, and price was high. I got a canatitos drink but it had almost no alcohol and for 10 dollars that seemed unreasonable. I used to recommend this place but it has gone way down from what it was before.

    I had the enchiladas and my husband had flautas and they were both delicious! The steak nachos had a ton of tender delicious steak on them. The margaritas were great and come in adorable pottery cups! We will definitely be back! We also had great service! Thank you!

    Stopped by for the second time and it didn't disappoint! The restaurant was clean. Immediately greeted by staff to be seated. Started off with complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the stuffed tilapia with seafood and it was amazing! The flavors complimented well together. The portion was big and I had the rest for dinner the same day. My bf ordered the steak torta and a steak taco which he said were really good. This place has become one of our favorites in the Geneva area. Highly recommend!

    Chicken Enchiladas Suiza Style side of rice & beans
    W W.

    Tried Los Cantaritos for the first time on a Sunday afternoon and it was delicious! Had the Carne Asada Steak Torta, definitely one of the better steak tortas I've enjoyed. The steak was tender and had a great flavor. The torta bread was fresh something that other restaurants struggle with. My spouse had the Chicken Enchiladas Suiza Style with rice & beans and it was tasty. Ambience is basic. Wide open space with a lot of seating. Service was good but time between table visits was lengthy. Server was very pleasant. Overall, great 1st visit and looking forward to returning to try other menu offerings.

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. We went around 2:30pm and it was not busy.

Waitress/hostess was not friendly at all. Not too many choices on their menu and is the typical Tex-Mex dishes. 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. They do give you free chips and salsa, but all the sides (rice/beans) are additional charges. The decor inside is beautiful and our waitress was very friendly. Overall, I'd recommend a visit here if you're looking for an Uncle Julio's/Tex-Mex style of experience.

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.
