Taqueria Las Cumbres - Restaurant in Crystal Lake - 93 Grant St, USA

We’ve loved this place for so long. We ordered tamales today and feel ripped off. We paid $40 for “tamales”. In each tamale there’s about a quarter sized amount of meat. The rest is a big amount of masa so they look nice and big but it’s all masa. Not worth $40 for 10 tamales. The picture shows you can fit all the meat in one tamale on a regular sized fork.

I hate giving out bad reviews but it’s part of the gig. A bit disappointed from such a highly recommended place. Service is great, atmosphere is great but the food was subpar. I order a steak burrito, meat was hella greasy and no flavor to the steak 3/10. Also order a torta de milanesa, and meat did not hit 3/10. The salsas tasted all from a can. The horchata I ordered is a powdered mix but tastes decent so I give it a 6.5/10. It’ll be very hard for me to come back knowing there’s other better spots in Crystal lake.

I was a little worried when the taco salad first appeared because the shell was kind of small. However once I took a look at the amount of meat in the salad and the gorgeous pressure avocado on top I knew it would be a good meal. I got the chicken taco salad and my husband got the steak tacos salad. He said that this was easily the most meat he has ever had in a taco salad. Very tasty would recommend and I would order it again.

Everything was amazing! It was our first time and we got shrimp, chorizo, and steak tacos. All decisions! We also loved the chips and salsa, rice and beans, and Mexican coke. Everyone was so friendly. The atmosphere was fun and easy going. Definitely coming back.

This has been my favorite place in Crystal Lake. I have tried everything in the region. Always come back here. Awesome people, great food and service. In 20 years, have never had an order wrong, nor dissatisfied. It's rare to have such quality. Might seem pricey to some, but I know it is worth every cent.

Take out was not great. I ordered ahead and was told it would be 10-15 min. I showed up early, ended up waiting 20 mins thinking they were making it fresh, when I got home the food was COLD. Almost $30 for a burrito and 3 tiny tacos, not a fan.

I usually don’t post reviews on food but this has to be the worst restaurant I have ever ate. I don’t like to complain but I order a ham torta the full of onion and the bun and ham are like plastic I can’t chew horrible food.

Absolutely delicious! I got a steak burrito and green and red picaditas. The hibiscus water was very refreshing. Wonderful staff and great family atmosphere. Can’t wait to order again.
