Bella Vista Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Algonquin - 10400 S Illinois Rte 31, USA

Great Mexican food! Ordered nachos with chicken and guacamole for starters. The red sauce on the table had a real good kick to it. Then had the chorizo taco dinner. Jorge the manager added a grilled habanero 🌶️ when I asked for more spice. Delicious!! Jorge was super nice and was great to talk to. No alcohol but they had a great variety of Mexican sodas and drinks. Will be coming back again!!!!

Nestled between Route 31 and Elmwood Court, Bella Vista emerges. It boasts a red and gray exterior with colorful signs on the windows. Inside it's adorned with all sorts of Mexican inspired memorabilia. It definitely has that authentic Mexican restaurant feel when you walk in. The tacos were tasty. Definitely some of the better tacos I've had within the area. You'll get a double tortilla, a big portion of meat, and a nice ratio of toppings. I noticed the cut of onion was ever so slightly bigger than what I normally see, giving more of a crunch, which I didn't mind. Though it might not look like it, they also have a drive thru. It's not 100% obvious, even though they have a pretty large drive thru sign haha. The set up is interesting. There's no divider between the drive thru lane and parking spaces so it just looks like a big lot. Also, no intercom, you just drive up to the window, they take your order and then drive around to the opposite side of the building, where there is another window, where you pick up. Overall, the tacos were good, service was good, and definitely worth making the trip if you're looking for good tacos and an authentic dine-in experience.

Great little local place. Owners are kind and considerate. $3 per taco is a hard price to beat in these times. Nothing bad to say about this place, it’s one of the few restaurants where it’s entirely authentic Mexican food with a homely atmosphere. Dining arrangement is comfy and warm.

Stopped by on my semi to this little place on my way to deliver a load to McHenry and it was one of the best choices I made today. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a really nice lady that took my order. I got 4 tacos de carnitas and I had to try the birria ones so I got 1 of those. And to be honest, they were really good!!! I love really far from here but I'm going to take.the drive with the whole family when I'm off that's how good the tacos were. Thank you guys for the great food and even better customer service! Highly recommended!!

My daughter had her wedding catered from Bella Vista. I can’t say enough about the food being the best and the quantity is very generous. The service and presentation was wonderful. Everyone loved the food and had more than enough to eat. The staff was outstanding. They definitely added to a perfect day. Thank you so much!

I really like my burrito. I typically do not have a burrito with the rice and beans inside of it but it was really good. The fries..... I mean it doesn't really go with it but who doesn't like fries?? I want to try the taco special next. I will be back.

Tortas (La Bomba and Chilanga) and quesadilla were delicious! Carnitas burrito was just ok. Ordered delivery and the tortas actually held up decently. Barbacoa was a good value as well.

Thanks to all the hard work and excellent food. From the minute we met with Jorge for a tasting to the clean up at the end of our wedding was the easiest thing in our wedding planning. Communication was constant with top tier food. Not one person complained about the food. Absolutely delicious. if you need catering or just a great dinner this is the place to go! You guys will be catering the next Pope function for sure!
