La Cascada - Cicero

Been there twice. 1st time was amazing honestly was one of the best I have ever had food was amazing and service was excellent. 2nd time was just average. Not sure which is the usual. Will come back more and raise or lower rating once I see which is the usual.

Bring your appetite if you are going to visit here! The portion s are definitely large enough to share. The Burrito California is huge! My favorite is the fajita with shrimp and chorizo. It is always so hot and filling. The wait staff here is outstanding. We are always greeted with a smile and they are spot on with the refills!

Good food and super fast service. You can eat a good meal here and be in and out before you would even get your food at a different restaurant.

We were seated right away in one of the many booths. Our drink orders were taken promptly, and we were soon brought a basket of chips and salsa. We placed our food order shortly after receiving our drinks. This all happened within about two minutes, which was impressive considering that the restaurant had several customers both inside and outside. The chips were typical for a restaurant of this kind—decently crunchy but somewhat bland. The salsa, on the other hand, was a bit runny rather than chunky, which is what we prefer, but it had a nice flavor and just the right amount of spice for a little kick without being overwhelming. The menu states that the first two baskets of chips and salsa are complimentary, with additional baskets costing $1.99, which I think is quite reasonable. We decided to share a new item on the menu, the Seafood Fajita ($16.99). Just like the rest of our dining experience, the meal arrived quickly after we ordered. All fajita orders come with refried beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, and three corn or flour tortillas. Our seafood selection included scallops, shrimp, crab, and a piece of tilapia, and the portion was generous. I know that ordering seafood at restaurants can be risky, but everything tasted fresh and was quite enjoyable. We both felt satisfied and agreed that we would order it again. Even though we liked our meal, the menu has plenty of other dishes that I would love to try. Overall, it was a very efficient dining experience that we both enjoyed at a reasonable price. Once the weather improves, I’m sure that dining on the patio with a view of the reservoir and bridge, along with the activity of cars and pedestrians on the main street, would be a lovely experience.

This is a nice Mexican restaurant. The chips were delicious but a bit limited; they offered two free refills, but you'd have to pay for the third. The food was flavorful, served warm, and arrived quickly. The waiter and staff were friendly, and the decor was vibrant and colorful. It was quite busy during our visit on a cool, rainy evening. The menu has a wide variety of options, including choices for children. The location near the lake is fantastic, and some tables offer a lovely view of the water. I recommend giving it a try; I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you found this review helpful, please hit the like button below. Thank you!
