La Huerta 5 - McHenry

My wife and I go here for items not carried in other area stores. The quality is always excellent, and the staff friendy and quick to serve. The owners are always welcoming at the checkout and it is an old fashioned family run business.

Best pastor and asada tacos I've had outside chicago. Best there is.

5/5 La Huerta 5 Mexican grocery store on 120 across from Binnys.I know there are several of these grocery stores but never tried their restaurant side! HUGE REGRET! I always run in grab pico and cecina and take it home.Last night after a very long day I called to ask what time the restaurant closes. 8:30pm. Cool our last appointment ends at 8. We run over there, place is packed. 8:15 Friday night 6 bags on the counter of to go bags, people eating at booths, people in line at the register, the phone constantly ringing, and 3 guys running it hustle style yet not even acting remotely stressed. Ordered and went to the grocery side to pick up a few things. Came back 10 minutes later and my food was just being bagged up.Sorry I didn’t take pictures. Looked very basic Mexican restaurant food. Seriously the best Mexican food I’ve had in the area. Very fresh ingredients. Portions are bigger, my husband couldn’t finish his, and the prices are less than other local spots. I’m really impressed! We will be back!Unfortunately there isn’t a full menu that I could find online. Definitely head over and check it out. — eating dinner with beloved family at La Huerta 5.

The absolute best skirt steak tacos around!!! I've eaten so much Mexican food for lunch and dinner and hands down this place rocks!! Not much to look at but the food is fresh and delicious!!

Moved from Milwaukee to the McHenry area. I was able to get almost all the things I miss from the bigger city!
