Taqueria La Mexicana 2 - South Beloit

Eating was amazing burrito was super huge a price was amazing $2.50 for steak and chicken tacos that cheap.

I've been told that the best Mexican food can be found in the back of Mexican grocery stores and I found this to be true at La Mexicana #2. Now, I'm not Mexican nor have I traveled to any Latin American countries so I can't say that the food is authentic or make any such claim but I do know good food when I see it and taste it and it was delicious. The decor is simple, just roughly 9 small booths and two tables and a TV on the wall on the Univision channel along with several colorful paintings on the wall depicting traditional Mexican life. There are a couple of refrigerators filled with Mexican bottled pop as well as regular offerings. I ordered a large quesadilla with Al Pastor along with tomatoes, sour cream and onion. I was given the option to have it made with a freshly made tortilla which I had and I'm glad that I did. They also provided chips and red and green salsa in squeeze bottles. The chips were delicious and the salsas had a nice smoky flavor to them. I received my quesadilla in about 5 minutes. It was huge! The flavors were very good and the fresh tortilla was delicious. The one thing I was thinking could be better would be to provide salsa in a dish to dip my chips into. I have been in places before where the chips and salsa have been presented the same way. I prefer the dish compared to directly squeezing it on each chip. This of course is a minor suggestion. The meal was great and very satisfying. I will definitely stop in again when I'm in the mood for Mexican food and happen to be in the area.

This place has the best Mexican food around. They even make hand made tortillas. I reccomend the torta de asada or a sope de asada. Also the horchata and other aguas de sabor are outstanding. You dont belive me? Try out the steak burrito if you can finish the whole thing. Very very good prices and better tasting food hands down.

This food is delicious and homemade. The homemade tortillas are amazing ordered chips and guacamole and she made completely fresh right in front and it was the best guacamole I've ever had. Nachos are delicious and I had bean tacos and shopped at the store got myself all the flavors of juvo De Coco coconut milk and they were good!

Been here twice in one week. My 1st visit I had Milanesa Torta and today I had the Arrachera plate. All I have to say is DELICIOUS!!! VERY tasty and authentic foid. VERY friendly and polite staff. Everything is made fresh and worth the wait. They made handmade fresh tortillas. Right in FRONT of me. HOW AWESOME IS THAT???? DEFINITELY recommend and DEFINITELY will go back.
