As some other yelpers have pointed out, the service here can be terrible. They got my friend's order completely wrong (he ordered chicken fajitas and they brought out chicken chimichangas. They then argued with him that was what he ordered. I heard what he ordered and he said fajitas. He took the wrong order back and a while later brought the fajitas out and slammed them on the table. We didn't see him again until we flagged him down to get our check.
Review Source:I love Mexican food and this restaurant is the very best in the Rockford area. I don't even waste my time anywhere else.
The chips and salsa are really tasty but you've got to try the guacamole...so fresh and delicious. My favorite dish to order is the chile rellenos. They are perfection at De Juan. You can also make your own plate with two or three items and that is an inexpensive way to try a few more of their options.
I've always had good luck with the service, the owners seem like nice people. It is well worth the drive from Rockford to Belvidere for me!
I looooved the vegetarian (potato) enchiladas I got! I also tried my friend's veggie burrito and loved it too. So, based on my first visit and the fact that my friend goes here more frequently, I'm going to say the food here is great. The atmosphere was pretty similar to a lot of other Mexican food restaurants, nothing super memorable except that the music kept stopping and then being really loud and then going away again... kinda weird but not really important. The prices and service were also pretty average, but the yummy food is worth it. Really the only negative for me was the salsa (too mild and cold), but I am sure some people like it. I ate a ton of it anyway since the chips that it came with were so good! :)
Review Source:My favorite Mexican food in the Rockford area - and cheap.
The entrees are good/big sized portions, ingredients fresh, and it's not overly saucey. I go for the fish tacos everytime. There's also a vegetarian menu.
If the drinks were a little less and the salsa a little more spicey, i'd give this 5 stars.
I really like this place!
It's on a weird strip mall in the middle of Belvidere. By looking at it, you wouldn't think it's much. The chips are good, the salsa is ok. What I was impressed by was their corn and flour tortillas! They both tasted like they are made their, abnormal compared to Mexican restaurants in Rockford, sadly. That's a huge huge plus!
I ordered the deal where you pick three items, I did a taco, chimachanga, and a tamale. Both were excellent. Flavorful and fresh. The rice could of been approved. The beans were good. (I'm a picky ass bitch about the rice and beans).
We split the fried ice cream. Now this is the greatest choice of all. It's a huge cylinder chuck of ice cream, covered with a thick sugary covering of corn flakes. It has a syrup in the bottom. Oddly enough, the ice cream was butter pecan. But it was really rich, almost like a custard more than ice cream. But it was damnnnnn good. With hint of cinnamon, OMG, girl....GET IT! It's $3.50, but you def want to split it. He's huge! I also overheard they make their own churros.
Just a small drive from Rockford, just go there. Wonderful service, too.
