Only two other people in the building. They couldn't find my order. I have to drive home since I forgot my phone. I get back and show the girl who is speaking English the whole time. She calls another girl over in English. Then they start talking in Spanish to my face. So rude. She puts my order in and says 10 minutes. No apology. We get the tacos and ask for hot sauce to find out they have none. Annoyed we leave to get home and find out no limes either. Then hubby finds a hair in his taco. Not good. Could of been so much better

I opened up Yelp and found this little taqueria in the cute downtown of Belvedere so we decided to stop here. The inside definitely makes you feel like you're at a family owned restaurant. It reminds me of all of the pizzerias I went to as a kid in New York. The staff are all incredibly friend and funny and were cracking jokes the whole time to our table. They offer a wide selection of Mexican specialties from some of the more common ones to some of the harder to find ones. Lately, I've been on a Gordita kick so I ordered the Gordita dinner. The rice and beans were so good, and the fresh tortillas, along with the beautiful meat inside were all perfect. I wasn't expecting to have such incredible Mexican in this part of the US, but I need to reassess my biased because this was fantastic. Highly recommend!

This is by far the WORSE place I have ever ate it . First the chips were DISGUSTING the salsa was…read morewater with tomato sauce in it and maybe a piece of cilantro then main course came I literally took a Bite of the chicken that was in my burrito and Immediately spit it in my napkin. I could not even swallow it. I am not sure what or even if it was chicken. I almost feel as though it may have been the foot of the chicken in my burrito. The suppose to be chicken was dark chunks that had stringy fat when I ripped it apart and the small piece in my mouth that was not swallowed! I was hungry so tried really however I couldn't. I ate a few bites of the flour tortilla shell from 1/2 but my plate looked like a pile of puke. Wish I had a picture ! Anyways told the waitress she said oh well I like them I said ok that's good but Literally I can't eat this . Refused to take off the order was beyond rude and the lack of professionalism and ultra sensitive attitude spoke volume . So not only was the food the grossest I ever seen or tasted without swallowing has the most unprofessional staff representing their business. Then the she writes a google review about how the place is a 10/10 great food and service. I believe google reviews have a conflict of interest guideline ...LOL! I strongly suggest do not waste your money Casey's gas station across the street heat lamp food is a 5 star compared to here !

The service is quick and courteous. My only annoyance in this restaurant has been the overpowering odor of perfume (or deodorant?) worn by one of the regular waitresses. It is slightly obnoxious from a distance of 10 feet, and absolutely eye-watering from 5 feet. I try to sit as far from her as possible. Otherwise, this is one of my favorite local restaurants.

Well as everyone said it's in a strip mall but recently painted and spruced up a lot it's small…read moreand independently owned. My friend loves the margaritas here and so we both got large ones and I upgraded tequilla but shouldn't have bothered. It's just a margarita, or I shoulda just got a shot. It's my opinion margaritas are kind eh, unless you really know how to make them super traditionally with lime, tequilla on lots of ice and salted rim. Anyway it wasn't bad, I'm just picky when it comes to mixed drinks. So I got the ground beef taco meal with rice and beans. It had some pretty runny "sauce" and the beans and rice were standard. I was ok with everything but not impressed quite frankly. Especially when the bill came. For taco meal, a margarita large it was $36 before tip. Making it in the forties with tip seems just kinda ridiculous. I know prices have gone up everywhere but geez. I probably won't make a trip to go again but overall just ok, except for prices. Friends looked good. Service was great anyway.

Certainly wasn't sure about this Mexican place in Belvidere. De Juan looked like it was pretty…read moresketchy even from the outside. It's at the end of a pretty crummy strip mall and that's saying nothing about the kinds of people. How bad would it be inside? Turns out not that bad to be honest: cheap looking but okay though. After thinking about it we went inside and got seats at the bar. It had a few others in there and it looked pretty okay. The menu is basic Mexican American stuff. It's about $7 for cocktails. Luna Azul is a blue margarita. This was an innocent looking but strong one though. As for the food, not bad. There's the basic types of stuff. It's about $11 for a burrito. The Vegetarian Burrito is among these. Very stuffed with onions, peppers, and whatever. Comes with a cheese sauce on it. The burrito without it is maybe even better it seems. Honestly it's a place that needs to be given a chance and not passed up just because of the sketchy area. It's for sure not authentic, but it's still mostly okay though. There's plenty of choices for meat eaters as well as vegetarians.

You've gotta give them a try if you've not been there.
