    Pozole
    Mike P.

    Had to make the trip here again for Cesar's delicious food. Nothing better than pozole on a cold winter day and of course my favorite chicharron tacos! We were craving some wings and love his mole sauce so we asked him to create us some mole wings and he was happy to oblige. Can't say enough about this place and Cesar. Again, don't let the looks of being next to a gas station fool you! This is a gem!

    Don't let the looks of this location fool you! I must admit my family was in the area driving back from goebbert's farm and we were craving Mexican. After looking up a few options, the reviews for Mr. Cesar's seemed to be the best choice. Upon arriving I did not expect it to be right next to a gas station and almost had second doubts but my family encouraged me to take a chance and I'm so glad we did. Met Cesar himself, a super kind hardworking guy. We ordered steak burritos, shrimp tacos, chicken mole dinner, garlic shrimp ajo and a chicharrón taco. All the food was delicious. Definitely recommend supporting this place. It's like a hidden gem. Service was great! Thank you!

    Really quick service and the burrito I ate with ground beef and added avocado and jalapeño was delicious.

    Had kind of a mixed experience with this place…read more The food was mostly the food. Like some other people have commented, it is on the pricey side. Is the guac $15 good? No. However, the items I expected to cost more were good quality.The flavors were great and everything was cooked well. The octopus was especially well handled and tender. The dessert we had was also fun and flavorful! Really enjoyed that aspect of the experience. The service was mostly decent. The waiter came by to check on things a bunch and the food came out fairly quickly. That was a good thing since like a lot of Mexican places, this one does not offer free chips and salsa. They were slow to refill drinks... that were not alcohol. I definitely got the feeling their bottom line depended on upselling liquor. It felt like we were an inconvenience asking for more water. The place was packed, so we were expecting some amount of noise. We also understood we were there on a Saturday when most people are out for a sloppy good time. At almost exactly 9:30pm, they turned the music up to insanely loud. It was impossible to hear anyone in our small group. Again, I got the impression this was for the benefit of the people drinking massive amounts of alcohol. Even though the food was good, this place is more interested in Instagram picture spots and drink sales than the full dining experience. If you are not there for TikTok video of flaming/glowing drinks or Insta pics by the flower wall, it is not worth your time.

When we first visited, the…read moreplace was loaded to the last table, so service was a tad bit stalled, but the server was polite. Our tacos, enchiladas, soups, and churros came to us piping hot and well-presented. I wouldn't say that the food was bursting with flavor, but yummy nonetheless. Chips and salsa were fresh. If you're looking to have a comfortable seat, eat, drink, and have good conversation versus pickup a paper bag and go home, I'd say try Casa Tequlas Mexican Grill.

    Great, great, great food!…read more I think this place has been here awhile now, but only recently did I get a chance to try it. I helped my father and my stepmother get their new iPhones at the T-Mobile next door and so they treated me and my daughter to dinner at Casa Tequilas! My stepmother said the fried tilapia was the best thing on the menu, so I ordered it and was absolutely shocked at the quality and portion (see photos below). The fish was fried perfectly, the accompanying sides were delicious and it was well worth the price. The service was great and the other dishes were well enjoyed too... my father got a burger (I know, not very Mexican) and my daughter got the chicken fingers. Both their plates were empty. Service was great and attentive and the ambience in the restaurant was warm and festive. It is hard to believe this used to be a pizza joint!

    I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.

    Orale is a cool place. The decor is nice , the service was really good, and, I must say, the…read morerestroom stood out :-) The food we ordered was delicious. My wife and I are pretty stuffed right now! I had the quesabirria tacos and she had a spicy shrimp dish with avocado and tortillas. Oh, and we had the nachos with a flight of 5 delicious salsas, as an appetizer. In the end, Orale felt different. It had a city vibe to it. We dug it and will be back for more. Near Hanover Park and in the mood for some Mexican cuisine? Check out Orale!

    We came in on a rainy Friday late afternoon to enjoy happy hour and catch up with friends. Our…read moreserver was very patient with us and didn't rush us. The first drink I ordered was delicious. Their signature old fashioned is made with mezcal and had a nice smoky flavor. The 2nd one was definitely off and the server mentioned something about it being different and that I should taste it. It was overly strong and it didn't have the same taste as the first. I just poured the ice from the first drink into it but I really should have sent it back. Cocktails are $10 during happy hour but otherwise they are $16 and not worth getting in my opinion. The happy hour guacamole trio was okay but there was no distinction between the three types flavor-wise. The ceviche presentation was nice but it also lacked flavor. The tacos were more flavorful but small. They were nicely presented. It is cutely decorated inside but the music made it hard to talk because it was too loud. I probably won't be back when there are better choices in Geneva for the same type of food. I want to give it another half a star but I chose to round down rather than up mainly for lack of flavor, bad 2nd drink and higher than necessary pricing off the main menu.

We started with a few drink specials..Ala Margarita and Altiro Old Fashion. Each drink was 10.00 and very good. For starters we tried the Al Trio Guacamole which all tasted the same. We also had their Al Ceviche which was very good in presentation but not much flavor. I also tried the Al Camaleon tacos which were 4 small tacos of grilled shrimp,bacon,lime,garlic aioli and avocado. Flavorful but small in size for the price. You definitely want to try to go for Happy Hour as their prices are high and portions are small.

We finally stumbled on No Manches and we can say without reservation that they have the best Mexican food we've had in the 20+ years we've lived here. The Tri Color Burrito is my absolute favorite and I recently commented to a friend that its made my "if I could only have one food on a deserted island for the rest of my life" list. Its that good. The margaritas are excellent as well. In terms of negatives, the prices are high and the music can be very loud if you want to have group conversations. Our server even got our order wrong the last time we were there because she couldn't hear us! That said, any cons are definitely outweighed by the pros. Everyone we've taken there has been thoroughly impressed.

I always make a reservation and I recommend doing that. Service is always great and quick. Chips and salsa are delicious. My new favorite tacos are both of the shrimp tacos. All of the food is delicious. Same with the margaritas. The only downside of our last visit was that they cleared my plate when I was t done with my rice and beans (on a separate plate) and they took my fork. But other than that, this place is one of my favorites.
