Well, we came back again and they did NOT disappoint! I had the Pollo A La Tampiquena and she had the Steak Vallarta! Both were SPECTACULAR. I only wish I could eat more when I’m here.

We LOVE Carlos River Cafe! Delicious food and fast service. Pro tip—their breakfast entrees are delicious but it’s BYOC—Bring Your Own Coffee. Prices are low! We come for the food and we stay for the decor and cheerful service! Enjoy the authentic Mexican music and immersive ambiance! They make their own chips and three salsa. Go here, eat, and be happy.

Great food and appalling service!
The owners stepdaughter:
• Consistently ignores customers
• Snaps with rude comments like “Do you want to order or not?!”
• Blames the cooks for her mistakes
• Rushes when she serves
• Tosses items onto tables
• Hides in the back, leaving customers no choice but to leave
• Is unprofessional, immature, and the least hospitable of all servers

Nice little Cafe style restaurant. Food tasted great. Service was good. Next time I’m trying out other dishes. A gem in crystal lake.

The water tastes like it was scooped from the river. The food was mediocre and the service was horrible. They didn’t even serve alcohol, even though their menu showed cocktails.

Love the food! Always have.. today I ordered extra guacamole what I got was a bunch of tomatoes with onions… Maybe a bit of avocado, not much to taste but it was green.
At this time . Don’t order extra! It was better before

I live five minutes away from this restaurant, and I am a weekly customer there. Unfortunately, because of they way I was treated by Carlos daughter today, who was our waitress, I will never return there again to eat. She was exceptionally rude, made discriminatory remarks about me being gay and negative comments about my ex husband, and she told me I was not allowed to come back to the restaurant if I had a problem. I can see other negative comments about his daughter, which I am not surprised to read. She is a nightmare if you get her as your waitress. She takes the order five feet away from the table and if you ask her for something, she conveniently says she didn’t hear you. If you say anything about her service or her bad attitude, you can expect to hear a earful. She is lazy, rude, uneducated and lacks any customer service skills that someone would expect from a waitress. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. There is another great Mexican restaurant just down the road in Island Lake.

Great service. The server was so nice and patient with my daughter with special needs. The food was really flavorful. My wife and kids all enjoyed their meals. I ordered the Chicken Chinichanga. Crispy and full of flavor. Their salsa Roja is one of my favorites. My wife likes their salsa Verde.
Chips are very crispy and fresh from the frier. We’ll be back.

From start to finish, this place was incredible. Fast, friendly service with amazing food. I just had the Mexican sunshine breakfast, and wow!!! Huge portions and a price tag that made me think I traveled back in time, it was so reasonable. 100% will come back.
