Oh. M. G. Fine Mexican Cuisine - Elburn

Sitting here eating my garlic shrimp leftover from last night and it lost nothing overnight in the refrigerator. We have done take-out as well as eaten in at this family owned gem in Elburn. Parking right out front, service with a smile and authentic, plentiful, delicious food. I suppose they could have lost a star for over-all ambience, but I choose to award that star to a spotless restaurant. White-tiled floors in a restaurant? They have that handled. (Makes it for me every time. I highly recommend this great addition to the Elburn restaurant scene.

Service was amazing; very personal and great recommendations from the staff. Jalapeno guacamole, chili relleno was amazing and also the house margarita...

Oh. M. G.!! is pretty much what I said after the first bite of mole on my cheese enchilada. (I ordered the enchilada feast. It is the best mole I 've ever eaten and I can 't wait to go back to order it again! (Server said there are 50 ingredients, ya 'll! This is just such a gem of a find. For my husband and I, our go-to test of a good mexican restaurant is the beans and rice. Believe it or not, most are flavorless and forgettable but the best ones--worth eating all on their own--are usually an indication we are in for a great dining experience. Oh. M. G. did not disappoint. Our server (I believe she is part owner? was just wonderful--helpful, friendly, attentive and even remembered us from a year earlier. She recommended the Marylou Margarita (made with fresh squeezed juices , light and fresh, and it was perfect. But to my surprise she also gave me a sample of the seasonal special, dragonfruit, which I just might order next time--fantastic. We started with the ceviche shrimp with mango and avocado, a flavorful, bright and citrus appetizer served with tostada shells . I could have stopped right there and been happy. But I 'm glad I didn 't. The four sauces on my enchilada were each utterly new flavors to me but the mole was what stole the evening.

We have been eating here since the day they opened. Come for one dish, Chile relleno. This is our go to at Mexican restaurants. It’s been a while, but we went today and immediately something was off. Not only was it completely dead but the usual server no longer works there. I told my mom somethings not right after we ordered there was no sound of food being made no sizzling the grill wasn’t on. We kept hearing the microwave being used over and over again and the Cook and the new waitress were looking and hovering over our food, whispering like hiding something. It wasn’t right. When he put the food up on the counter, I told my mom I don’t see any steam it didn’t look hot. If you know this dish, the cheese inside the pepper is melted as soon as you cut open oozing out. The beans and rice were cold, and when we cut into the pepper there was no cheese. We kept cutting and looking till we finally hit the cheese and it was a brick ice cold. Felt like an ice cube. Absolutely disgusting. Very disappointed and will not return ever. Not cooked to order. Nothing was cooked.

I order here decently often. The food is always delicious and prepared with care. The milanesa torta was prepared perfectly!
