Best Southwest American Restaurants in Buffalo Grove

Clearly has the most unique Mexican menu with a ton of variety you’ll ever experience. The support staff give you water as well as lots of chips and 2 types of salsa right away. Food quality is very good. Yet my lobster tostadas were not too flavorful. Their temperature was not hot neither, and extremely high priced for just two tostadas. My girlfriend enjoyed her dish very much. Offered excellent variety of margaritas. Both of ours were very flavorful. I got the North Shore. Our server was excellent. Yet, took awhile to get out margaritas. The kitchen delivers all food to table and took them forever to give us our tortilla soups. And he first brought them to the wrong table. I had to wave him down. Overall we enjoy going to Authentico, and we’ll go back.

From the hostess stand to our server Cesar and seeing the manager on duty walk the floor and oversee the front and back of operations it was such an incredible experience like I was back in the city! Great personal service and a sever who was a true professional and just “knew” what the guest needed. Thank YOU! To the manager who was not fazed by my spirited children THANK you for making me feel welcome and not judged. The food was very tasty and well prepared. If I was going to get back into hospitality, I’d apply here. Such an upstanding establishment and well trained. Thanks times 3. :)

The only negative about this restaurant it was our first visit and it was so cold it was Not that enjoyable. We also mentioned in our reservation thAt we were celebrating an anniversary and nothing was said.

Had a great dinner with some friends at Big Star! Thanks so much

Antonio our server was amazing. The appetizers we ordered came out so fast we were still placing our taco order. Our 2 and 4 year old enjoyed playing with the foosball table. Tacos and margaritas were good. Elote portion was smaller than I expected but delicious. We arrived at 5 pm and it started to really get busy around 6 pm. Large indoor seating space.
