37 Best Mexican Restaurants near Antioch

“I have been to your restaurant three times first time had steak tacos ,second time ribeye burrito, tonight tampiquena dinner all three were delicious!!!! Don't change anything. You really have it going on!!!!!“

“We’ve been enjoying Taco Tuesday at Mexican Paradise for the past few weeks, and every visit has been nothing short of fantastic. Brian, the owner, personally delivers food to tables and makes it a point to give every kid a high five and a ring pop before they leave. He and his wife are constantly moving through the restaurant, making sure every table is well taken care of while also connecting with their guests. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick, and the food is always delicious with just the right portion sizes. Tonight, I noticed Brian taking the time to hold the door for an elderly woman and even walking her to her car to ensure she got there safely. Our waitress then informed us he does this every single night for his whole staff. 🥹 Dining at Mexican Paradise isn’t just about the food—it’s a full experience made with care, perfect for the whole family.“

“I can't recommend Taco Pros enough!

This place strikes the perfect balance between a quick bite and a full-service dining experience. Unlike other Mexican restaurants that go heavy on stereotypical decor, Taco Pros opts for a more modern and casual ambiance that feels fresh and welcoming.

The food is consistently fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and satisfying every time. Despite the quality, their service is impressively fast, comparable to a fast-food restaurant, but with that extra touch of care and attention you'd expect from a sit-down spot. It’s ideal if you’re on a lunch break or just craving a quick, delicious meal.

For those in offices, Taco Pros offers excellent catering options with trays that are perfect for any meeting or office event. My kids and I are regulars here, coming in at least twice a week. It’s easy to see why they’ve grown so rapidly in the past five years, opening multiple locations. Taco Pros really nails it with their combination of good food, great prices, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Ask for their 1 Taco kids meal, FF or rice and beans. It's great for kids 10 and younger.“

“Very fast and pleasant service, along with amazing food served here. 10/10 best restaurant I’ve been to in Grayslake! Sat down at 7:45, watched our food and drinks made be served before 8. Every costumer that came in was treated with the same welcoming, friendly, and FAST service. Will be returning as this is our new favorite spot. 💞“

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯“

“Definitely worth the few extra minutes driving up here from Round Lake. I showed up on Thursday to find out they’ve got an all you can eat taco special 👀 I gotta roll myself out to my car after this. Don’t let the previous rough construction out front fool you, this place is gold. I had the steak and chorizo tacos that were superb. Mango margarita slapped 👏🏻“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“Burrito dinners are delicious ask for extra hot sauce, guacamole and chips authentic and unique, red tamales yum“

“Chips were to die for! Best chips I’ve ever had! Light, crispy, salty, pockets of air out it over the edge! Guacamole and salsas were perfect!!!! Customer service was full of smiles and enthusiasm. Made my day!!!! I can’t wait to go back!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“I knew their enchiladas were good but man, the breakfast was GREAT... steak was cooked to perfection... yummm!! ☕😋🥞🥩“

“Bene’s has THE best taco’s anywhere!! This is our go to spot for tacos and we won’t go anywhere else. It is run by an awesome family and the food and service is top notch. If you haven’t tried Bebe’s you are missing out!“

“My mother took me here and I fell in love with the food. I’ve been bringing now my friends, coworkers, and extended family to have a taste of their food and they love it. The atmosphere is so nice and the workers are wonderful! Definitely recommend this place!“

“As someone who has worked in the service industry , Im delighted by the ambience, great staff service and most importantly the food/drinks. Amanda our server was super attentive, and even Pablo (the owner) came to the table to recommend great drinks. Lola’s really does represent the Mexican culture of good food, welcoming atmosphere and tasty dishes. Definitely recommend the Fajitas and the Jalapeno Poppers ! For drinks the Mango Habanero cocktail was tasty!“

“Fantastic hidden gem in down town Paddock Lake, I had the Tacos de Barbacoa, succulent slow cooked shredded beef tacos. highly recommend if you want authentic Mexican food. we will visit again.“

“The best Food and atmosphere. Great friendly service.“

“Great Mexican Food in Downtown Round Lake with a Mexican Bakery next door“

“Cute small restaurant off Rt 134 in Round Lake with excellent margaritas and delicious food. Got the Mexican Eggs breakfast and it was perfect! Eggs not runny or over cooked, more than enough for the 4 tortillas provided. Generous portion so I am bringing some home! Yummy on the rocks strawberry margarita with plenty of strawberries 🍓 floating in it. Several lime slices and an orange in the traditional margarita. Would recommend and we will definitely be back to try the $1.99 tacos on Tuesdays. 😁👍“

“A mi en lo personal me gustan mucho las carnitas y sus tacos dorados ni se diga! Siempre Han sido muy amables con nosotros! Eh ordenado comida para un evento y todo rico!“

“Have lived in Round Lake Beach 17 years and this is my 1st time coming in for a sit down meal (Saturday 5/4, 7pm). The place was 1/2 to 2/3 full. What impressed me the most is the waitresses (only 2) were able to keep people fed in a very timely manner. The establishment is clean and the food was good. Both my spouse and I ordered the carne asada meal. Unfortunately one flank steak was a bit greasy compared to the other one. My spouse has acid reflux, so that's probably why she noticed this. Had an excellent experience, the prices are fair, and "yes" I do plan to dine at this establishment again one day.“

“You know sometimes you find a gem by accident. I was walking around downtown Fox Lake waiting for a car repair. I wandered into a clean unassuming Mexican restaurant and got their full attention. I was treated like a king. Large portions of fresh quality food at low prices. It doesn't get much better than this. Customers should be standing in line to get in. Fully five stars.“

“Si me gustó la comida . y tienen buen servicio. las meseras son muy amables“

“Very poor service. They forgot our order and we waited for almost 2 hours. Eventually canceled our food. They did give us a round of drinks but disappointed. It says I recommend but it should say do not!“

“We are kicking ourselves for not going to dinner sooner here!! We didn’t want to drive to Grayslake or McHenry so we decided to give Ajua Mexican Restaurant a try!! NOT DISAPPOINTED ONE BIT!! IT WAS AWESOME!! Food was fresh and hot! Drinks were amazing! Staff were very friendly and helpful! Not to mention, music was appropriate!! We were pleasantly surprised to learn they are expanding!! This is our new go to for sit down and take out!!“

“Buen lugar buena birria 🥳🥳“

“What a great place. Food was excellent. Our server Becky was awesome. Thanks for a great dining experience! Music was fun as well.“

“Always a delicious spot for lunch and dinner. Daily specials posted on the white board inside. Tacos never disappoint! I always get 2 tacos and some rice with a horchata. Dine in available but beware parking a little weird outside and if you're unfamiliar with unloading wheelchairs in a slight slant I would park in the side or exterior of the building of at all possible. Parking is limited and easier to pull into going north bound on rt 12. South bound you sit in the meridian until traffic dispurses. There are also signs posted for not parking at the local deli next door, just avoid the south end of the building actually.“

“Mmm 😋 sabrosa comida,por ese motivo sí es él rey del pollo asado.“

“The pupusas were excellent! I loved every bite. The service was great. The young man and young woman that I've dealt with since starting to go there were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I also had the tamales. So yum! Definitely a new favorite spot for me. I highly recommend“

“Wow! We were pretty much ignored our entire dining experience. Margarita was AWFUL! All mix & even paid for extra tequila. It was the size of a fish bowl filled with mix! Terrible.

On the other hand, the food is fantastic! I recommend carrying out. I had the shrimp fajitas & asked for garlic to be added (because they have a shrimp with garlic I love, so we crossed the two). Just the way they made the fajitas were different than most mexican restaurants. Really delicious. The tacos are amazing.
But we never got our guacamole.“

“7/15/2024 @5:00 pm
Hands down one of the cleanest, friendliest Taco Bells I've been to in quite some time.
Walked in, and started tomorrow through the kiosk, a yound man (worker) said if we needed help not to hesitate to ask, which I thought was very nice since most young kids and even some adults these days don't want to even look at you and greet you when you walk through the door.

The dining room was super clean and the food was exactly what we ordered, pop wasn't flat like usual.

Thank you to the young staff at this specific Taco Bell. Keep up the good work and thank you for showing respect to your customers.“

“I've been coming here late at night for years
I always have a great experience in drive thru
They always get the order right and they're quick taking the order
Food is almost always fresh, with very few times of overcooked food, but it's extremely rare
I'd rate this Taco bell the best in the area“

“My sister and I stopped here while driving back from a concert in Chicago tonight and this place was great. A little bit of kindness goes a long way, the employee working the drive thru windows was so sweet and had a positive attitude. Our food was hot and fresh! One of the best late night taco bell visits I've ever had!“

“If you need something delicious to eat, while saving $ get their whole chicken (charbroil or rotisserie) - comes with 2 sides (i prefer rice and beans), veggies/peppers in vinegar, salsa, and your choice of warm/cold tortillas. Feeds a family. And it's delicious“

“Where should i begin. Great costumer service, everything was great. That young lady that works there with black hair and beautiful face, her service is amazing. Wish i could talk to her more.“
