Chips and salsa
Mike V.

Tucked into a back area off of Oakdale and Sylvan, this is not the easiest place to get to. But once there, you experience the standard that is a Mis Compadres. Walk in and go to your right to order, they are considered a bar, so you can get a couple libations with your meal. The menu is expansive and of a reasonable price. The portions are always large, and your money is well spent. I ordered the combination taco and enchilada. First I had to hit up the salsa bar. House avocado salsa is rich in flavor, Spicy tomato, and a mild couzin, A roasted tomato salsa that is my favorite . Pickled jalapeños and carrots, lemons and extras. Everything is brought out to your table when your order is ready. My meal was almost perfect, the carne asada was plentiful and tender. My chicken enchilada w red sauce was perfectly shredded. Rice and beans had good texture and great taste. I love the food, but sadly my order is wrong every time I go. Ordered the same order three times and three times got something else. Receipt was correct, kitchen had problem :( Even though it is not easy to get here, it is worth the time! Stop in today.

Been wanting to stop here, finally had a chance for lunch. When you walk in you order and then take a seat. They give you a number and the food is brought out to you. Soda machine and salsa bar to the far left. Different salsa, avocado one was awesome not spicy at all. I order a Taco Combination Meal, came with 2 tacos (soft or fried) I chose fried. Homemade fried and good crunch and did not split underneath. Came with meat (I ordered carne asada) lettuce, cheese, green salsa (mild) and sour cream. A lot of meat and tasted really good. Also came with Spanish rice and refried beans, both good. I also order a chicken tortilla soup (mainly because I was cold, definitely too much food. The soup was hot and hit the spot. Big chunks of chicken, carrots, potatoes on the side they give you fried tortilla strips, half of an avocado diced, cheese and hotter salsa to add if you wanted. I chose not to add. Still very flavorful. Will definitely be back.

I don't like leaving negative reviews, specially a place we have supported and visited often. Service is great, decor and vibe are great, and we can walk to this place so, so. Sooo convenient. That's the main reason we have frequented so much over the years. We have a gathering with friends where we go to each others homes for lunch once a month or so and we usually take chicken nachos from here and they are always great. You know how they say never say never or always???? Sometimes the food is great and other times same dish is an epic fail. Last few times I got the torta milanesa with fries and that had been pretty good, the last time fries where soggy and milanesa not cooked and hard, kind of gross. Wife usually has a bean and rice burrito so that is hard to mess up, until today, no flavor, needed salt rice was hard and maybe old, just bad. I figured good old nachos should be safe since my last torta was not good......what a mistake that was, rancid and old chips, how does a Mexican restaurant serve rancid chips??! That's the last draw for me won't come back again. I really like the people that run and own it but the inconsistency of the food is just too much of a gamble. As convenient as this is , I'll rather drive or go to the always busy and usually packed Mexican restaurant across the street and wait. Not worth the picture either....my dog loved the nachos however so she came up!

Enchiladas

My family and I always come here when we're craving Mexican food. We usually order their carnitas tacos, super burrito or enchiladas. They also have a self serve salsa bar. Service is always friendly and attentive

During the height of the pandemic, my wife and I went here twice, both times I saw people who I was told there the owners, with NO masks on (the servers to their credit did). I will never forget their lack of concern for their customers and failure to model this important COVID countermeasure. Food and service was, meh, had to flag down the servers both times for the basics (knife, fork, spoon, napkins). I am GLAD that Padilla's opened across the street and will NEVER go to TMC again. Done.

Torta

Their torta is HUGE! Such a deal, and super delicious. Always pleased with this restaurant. I'm sure I'll be back again!

First off, we found out about this restaurant through social media. We knew eventually we'd want to…read moretry it. Luckily, we were by the mall and made the VERY short 10-ish minute drive. Worth it! Walked into a very quiet, but colorful restaurant with only one other patron inside. The employees were so nice. We were told to pick anywhere, we were brought menus and instantly asked if we'd like anything to drink or if we wanted to look at the menu first... We asked for suggestions and the waitress offered the types of drinks they have. She brought us chips and salsa. The chips were homemade with a perfect crunch. The salsa was fresh, chunky and not spicy. The pepino cone limo aqua Fresca was the best aqua Fresca I've EVER had. Not too sweet at all and was SO REFRESHING. We also ordered an horchata and I was told that was just as good. The food... Where to start. We ordered an empanada and some quedabirria tacos. The empanada was HUGE, deliciously filling with fresh ingredients. It had great flavor. The quesabirria tacos were probably the best we've had. You order the amount you want. They are 5.99 each and oh so delicious. The meat tasted SO FRESH and flavorful. The creamy jalapeño salsa had a NICE kick to it. All meals come with radish and pickled onions as garnish, but eating them with the meal made it even more refreshing and delicious. They need more than one location, but until then we will be back! (Luckily, I heard they do catering.)

We ordered cheese enchiladas and chicken fajitas this time. The service was good. The waitress checked on us. We got seated in the garden patio and it was nice there. They kept it cool. The food was okay. The fajitas were served smoking hot with side of tortillas and sour cream, pico, and guacamole only. The veggies were well grilled and overall pretty tasty. I opted to not get beans. The enchiladas were okay. I didn't like them very much last time, and still didn't like them this time, either. We ordered the churro dessert. It came served with a side of ice cream and whipped cream. It was also okay. My visit to La Morenita was better this time than the last time, but still the menu felt pricier and probably won't come back. P.S. The chips and salsa were really yummy.

Unfortunately, what…read moreI received was basically a cup layered with black beans, grilled chicken, cheese, and a small splash of sour cream. There was no lettuce, salsa, guacamole, tomatoes, or any of the other toppings you'd expect in a burrito bowl. I'm giving it 2 stars only because the beans and chicken tasted good. However, paying $23 for a bowl this bare is hard to justify. I even asked for salsa on the side, and it wasn't included with my order. For the price, I expected a much more complete meal. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing, and I won't be returning.

With only an hour for lunch, it must have been about 1:15-1:17 pm to finally get our order placed. Food came in segments. First 3 people got their food and had to wait another 5 mins for the other 3 to get their order. For an hour lunch and the time it took to get our meals, we probably only had 15 mins to eat. Most everyone had to get a to go box to take their lunch home. Seeing that the place was kind of empty and past the 12 noon lunch, not sure why we didn't get our order in faster so we could have enjoyed the meal. I ordered the chicken milanesa- breaded chicken was thinly cut. I packed most of it to eat later. Wasn't that bad. 5 stars Service- waitress was nice. For some reason, our time wasn't being considered so the slowness of getting our orders in is why I am giving it 3 stars. This location chosen by birthday person but if I had my choice, I would rather have went to the Oakdale location since the McHenry parking isn't the most pleasant place to get in and out.

Tonight we ordered takeout: two chicken enchiladas with green sauce, all rice, and another order of grilled fish tacos. The first order we got home was thighs, not chicken breasts. We called, and they said they'd redo it; back I went. When we got home, the next order was the same thing. We checked the receipt, and they listed it as Enchilada Ckn Breast. My wife called and was told that they would replace it with one more enchilada. We explained, CHICKEN BREASTS! No problem. This time #3 was one enchilada with shredded chicken. When I picked up #3, I clarified with them that they mix chicken breasts with thigh meat...Yes. But you put "Chicken breast " on the receipt, and you charged me $1.50 extra for it being a chicken breast. The young lady did not respond; she just looked like a deer caught in the headlights. You don't treat your loyal customers who eat at your restaurant twice a week for over a year at $30-$46 per order like this. Especially in a town where we have no lack of Mexican restaurants. Something has changed, maybe a new cook (not a chef!). Maybe they were purchased, but whatever it is, the food quality has taken a nosedive. Take care of your customers, or someone else will.

It is a pretty standard local Mexican joint. It is very casual and family friendly. There is a small bar separate from the main dining room. There is also a large back room that can be reserved for special events. The decor was nice and the music was fine. We were provided chips, salsa, and beans. I was not a fan of these. The chips were dense and the beans were flavorless. The salsa was alright. It was pretty hot but wasn't utilized much because the chips weren't great. For my main dish, I ordered the Supreme Quesadilla with beef. It came with a side of beans and rice. I liked that the beans had cheese but I wasn't impressed with either side. The rice felt a little bit undercooked to me. The quesadilla itself was pretty good. It was very cheesy and had a lot of beef. I appreciate the large dollops of guacamole and sour cream. The service was disappointing. It took an extremely long time for the waiter to come and take our order. We were sitting there ready to order for probably 20 minutes or longer. Once we received the food, we did not see our waiter again. We were in desperate need of a water refill but the waiter never came by. To me, the service felt very slow and unenthusiastic.
