Carmina's Mexican And Banquets - Elgin

Our work Team Building event took place at this restaurant and everyone had a great time. Kevin, the manager, and Isaac, our server, were fantastic. They continuously checked in to make sure we were taken care of. The food was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place.

Place is trash. Went to dinner with my family for my birthday, we ordered 5 beers and they were brought to the table with no problem. I drank one , then decided to let the waitress know I wanted a drink. It took well over 15 minutes and I did notreceive it so we went to the bar and asked them to make one. the bartender comes over to ask for an Id and refused to give me mydrink after I had already drank a corona. My entire party was not carded and they were able to drink anything they wantedbesides me. We had a 20 year old that wasn?t carded as well. I was not allowed to drink a single thing. It made my experiencevery uncomfortable, and I will never be going back. The service was also not very good. They brought the utensils out after Ihad my food for 5 mins. No wonder the place is always empty. Only thing keeping it open is the banquet hall.

The bar service at this restaurant was really bad. Each person in our party was only allowed 2 drinks at the open bar. Around 12 am, the open bar closed 10 minutes before its scheduled time and there was only one slow bartender serving 200 people. The owner was also rude and not accommodating. I do not recommend this place for events. It is unfair to cut off drinks before the contract time was up, and the owner always being behind the bar was unprofessional. I would not recommend this place for future events.

We ordered a dish with pork, chicken, beans, rice, guacamole, and all the toppings. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant, the service was good, there were big TVs, and a large event space.

We had the most wonderful experience with Carminas Banquet for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, making everything smooth and stress-free. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. A special shoutout to Kevin and Rene, who were super attentive on our big day. They made sure everything ran like clockwork, ensuring that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. From the setup to the flow of the event, everything was well-organized and exactly how we envisioned it. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making sure everything was perfect really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and we highly recommend Carminas Banquet to anyone looking for a venue that truly cares about your event!
