Reviews for Bien Trucha in Geneva, IL
We enjoyed our food here but the restaurant has a bit of an attitude problem best described as arrogance. Reservations have a... $25 per person cancellation fee, and when we asked for a different table we were met with great resistance. Tables are toosmall and service was incredibly rushed, with servers coming to tables to close our tickets mid service. Worst of all we metgreat resistance asking to have alcohol on a separate tab for expense account purposes. We were told that was not possible. Uponinsisting our server ask management, they said, as a one time exception, they would do two separate tabs or is that normallywould not do so I’ve never encountered that at any of the restaurant before. Food is great, but I could do with a morerelaxed attitude. Read more
I’ve dined here in 2019. gotten take out in 2020, not have gone back for dine in in 2022. Over time this place has lost its... touch w food quality as it’s become more popular. service, hosts, and waitresses were all very accommodating and sosweet. our recent visit was quite stressful as we book a pod for a party of 12. on the phone we were told “we can easily sit12 in a pod.” during our visit, to our surprise they asked us to sit at SEPARATE tables..?? That’s all fine and well, IFFFwe were told that on the phone bc we would have simply chosen a bigger restaurant that could accommodate us. but no, they mustbe so money hungry for large parties that they lied to us on the phone only to completely ruin my sisters bday dinner we couldhave easily had somewhere else if we were given accurate information. They’ve recently had a menu switch where i notice themenu is way smaller than it used to be, and their quality of food has gone down by a lot. It’s just decently good, extremelyoverpriced mexican food, when it used to be one of my favorite take out spots. 15 dollars for 2 crab tacos? they must me onsomething to think that’s okay. Read more
I love to post photos of the food. However, when this food came, I was so excited I completely forgot to take pictures of it.... That should tell you something. ???? We reserved one of the individual huts for about six people. There was plenty of room.Sunday evening was not busy at all. Note if you go with a group of people, they will put multiple tacos on one tray and you haveto figure out which is yours. But let me tell you about the food since there are no photos. It was amazing! There is a guacamoleof the day, that day it was watermelon guac! So creative, and yummy. The regular guacamole is amazingly creamy and delicious aswell. There is also an elote dip and a side... Both are incredible!! The shrimp tacos were delicious. A note for large groups,they will not split the check or allow you to tell them a specific amount for each card. Either one person pays the whole amountor it is divided evenly. Highly recommend regardless! Enjoy the photos of the different margaritas, one watermelon, one avocado,one peppino and one strawberry!

I don’t review, because I think negative reviews are a dirty thing to do, to small businesses. But I am going to review here... because it was fantastic. This town is outrageously lucky to have this gem. Go here. Eat. Drink. Read more
FANTASTIC! This is a small space and Reservations are recommended. It is a bit pricey but you will be satisfied. The staff greet... you like family. The indoor space is cozy, plenty of tables. The music playing was a bit loud for me, hard to talk over attimes. There is a nice Patio section for when the weather is good and Pods when it's not perfect. I started with GuacamoleTradicional and a Bourbon cocktail special that was too good! The Guacamole was spectacular, the chips are from a bag, so sad????. The Tacos blew my mind! Small tortillas that are FILLED with Meat. I had 1 each of the Bien Trucha, Pastor, Panza, and myNEW FAVORITE Quiubo. I will be inviting friends and family to meet up here as often as I can. This is a great place. Read more
Excellent Mexican food. We have a variety of tacos, queso fundidos, different guacamoles, and of course, margaritas. Everything... is perfect. Thanks Read more
This place always delivers. We have been going to this restaurant for years and never had a bad experience. Highly recommend... their signature cocktails and their tacos de al pastor. Read more
Going out to dinner with small kids is not easy, but with the outdoor pods at Bien Trucha, it was a breeze. The service was... second to none. Our waiter was super attentive and there was never a moment we felt we needed anything. He made our firstexperience here perfect. Food was exceptional. Their traditional guacamole was amazing. I would have enjoyed a bit more citrusbut amazing none the less. Tacos were amazing. A bit expensive but once you taste them, the quality and taste justify the price.The papas were good but it was the one thing on the menu that lacked some seasoning. I had a Michelada. It wasn't veryauthentic. Tasted more like a bloody Mary mix with beer. Overall, it's a must try! Read more
