La Huerta 5

I love it, very nice restaurant in back. People are really here eating in the early afternoon, and the service is friendly!Food looks good, and I think I'll come back because I can get my beer their cheap

Tough to find - hidden in the back of a Mexican grocery store.The freshness of the meat and toppings is insanely good!Seasoned perfect.Just a small counter or 2 booths to eat at... That's it... But so worth it!

I subscribe to the belief that the best Mexican food in the US is found in hole-in-the-walls (aka your local dive). La Huerta 5 is top notch and anyone who says different can fight me.First of all, it's a grocery store with a taqueria which are few and far between in McHenry County. It's legit. I am stuck on their al pastor tacos and tostadas. They're just so good! I get mine loaded with everything (sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and lime on the side). Seriously you won't regret getting anything al pastor here.They have a couple of drink options, but if you can't find what you want just pop into the grocery store and grab what you want. The nice part is they can charge you for whatever you pick up from the grocery store in the taqueria.Great spot to get take-out, but I prefer to dine in. Either way you'll be happy with the cheap eats you'll find with so much flavor!

This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall, absolutely no frills joint! It's mainly a to-go place located in the rear of a supermercado. However, there's a long counter along the wall with stools you can eat at. Oh, but the food! They serve absolutely the best authentic tacos around (especially the Pastor), and the long waiting lines of Mexicans prove it. Great food, large portions, fast service and low prices - very satisfying indeed!

The best Mexican food in mchenry service is good it's in a grocery Store!!Everything I have ordered is fenominal

Delicious tacos. Plenty of meat and super tasty. The steak was super tender and love the selection if jarritos

I religiously get all my short rib, Al pastor, carne asada, pico and salsa from here. The taco shop in back is also the best in the Chicago suburbs.

We had tacos and split a steak burrito very good. A little pricey for tacos. But will definitely go back. Service was great. Employee's were great.

Excellent food and service! I highly recommend the enchiladas with mole. Doesn't get better!!

Review on just the taco place. Hands down best local tacos, how their supposed to be, cilantro n onion only
