Staff was courteous; menu varied with traditional Mexican cuisine.
A bit too pricey for my budget. At $14 a burrito, wouldn't be able to visit regularly with 5 of us.
If your passing through Fox Lake, I'd suggest you give them a try.

Delicious food, friendly service, amazing tacos! Steak and Al pastor tacos are some of the best we’ve ever had. Chips and salsa were great…the guac is delicious as well! We will definitely be back!
