New Mexican Restaurant Opens In Lake In The Hills
Rinoconcito de Veracruz has opened in the former Cachas Taco Bar on Algonquin Road.
LAKE IN THE HILLS, IL — A new restaurant that serves up authentic Mexican food has opened in Lake in the Hills.
Rinoconcito de Vercruz is located in the former Cachas Taco Bar at 2122 W. Algonquin Road. Restaurant owner Luis Landa has been thinking about opening a restaurant for a decade and decided on Lake in the Hills after realizing the village did not have an authentic Mexican restaurant, according to Shaw Local News Network.
Landa is from Martinez de la Torre, Veracruz, a state in eastern Mexico, but went to McHenry West High School.

Business has been picking up at the new restaurant, which has an extensive menu and serves up seafood dishes that are popular in Veracruz, and the business is also working on acquiring a liquor license from the village of Lake in the Hills.
Once that is approved, cocktails such as margaritas, pina coladas and Veracruz-inspired drinks, including a cantarito — which is served in a clay jar and includes orange juice, grape juice, lime and spices with tequila —will be added to the menu.
