So if you're craving some good Mexican food. This is a spot to try for sure!…read more I got the Burrito La Fonda. Couldn't have asked for a yummier burrito. It's covered in cheese and your choice of red or green sauce. Or both. Of course you have a choice of meat..but it's lovely nice spot. Comfortable sitting but no sitting to dine in. Other than that, do check out this superb joint.. Thank you La Fonda!!!

I was in Crystal Lake and was looking for a place to get lunch. We ended up at Antojitos for…read moreauthentic Mexican food. The restaurant is not for inside dining so be prepared for ordering to go. I ordered enfrijoladas for $12. I've never had them and didn't know what to expect. The price was somewhat steep but the portion and weight was definitely hefty. The food was scrambled eggs layered with corn tortillas, beans, cheese, and sauce. I wasn't crazy about it but it is more my personal taste with corn tortillas. This happened to be a solid dish and I would recommend checking them out.

New little gem that we stumbled on after checking out Savers next door…read more This is a New Mexican Grocery Store that opened up about two months ago. Nice, organized & clean. Large meat/deli section. We were hungry and discovered their little counter order restaurant within the grocery store. Between the 2 of us we had the Mexican chicken tacos with cilantro & onions. Sorry - I took the pictures after I devoured most of the taco. It was very good & I highly recommend. They also had a counter where they sold ice cream. Maybe next time we will try that. They have another location in downtown Crystal Lake located at 131 N Main Street. The employee that took our order was very nice. English was not her first language so one of the other employees helped her ring up our order. We had our hot meal in about 5 minutes. We will return!

We'll stocked with all the Mexican candies , drinks , and meds as well as rompope and chicharrones , they also sell tamales and they are really good! The parking can be a problem but nothing bad it's downtown Crystal lake so there's parking near and 1 hour parking everywhere. I've gone early on the weekends and it's not been bad. It's small store but clean and full of items , they also have meats for sale and decent prices! The employees are nice , there's also barbacoa , and carnitas made fresh everyday! And they have pork fat for sale for those tamale making seasons coming up! Ok byeeeeeeieeiie!

Best place in downtown Crystal Lake for hipster Mexican food. Cantina 52 isn't a big place so it's…read morenot good for big groups. It has a bar area and a few tables. For certain the name implies it's like a hangout. There's a pretty casual atmosphere along with a few TVs for watching games or something. Amazing it wasn't too busy. It's really not a big place so there's not much room. There were a few seats at the bar so we sat there. Pretty impressive menu. So many choices for vegans and vegetarians. It's about $6 for the cocktail specials, so check the menu board. The best of these is the Long Island 52, which is a pretty standard one. It's about $6 for tacos, which are the small street style you can eat in a few bites. We got some of the Herbivore Tacos. Has black beans, roasted corn, and vegan versions of chorizo and sriracha aioli. It's about $12 for nachos. These are loaded with tons of toppings. For sure it's got a lot to choose from. It's located on Brink Street close to the Metra station. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.
