“awesome food and service. will be back!“

“Friendly and amazing food!!!“

“amazing time last night amazing food great decor friendly staff“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“i can't speak on the past reviews but i'd love to shoutout a couple people. Arelia & Luis. had issues with the Taco Bell app, which is out of their hands, yet they delivered the best customer service EVER at a fast food restaurant. rockstars! thank you!“

“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 👏🏻“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently visited Raul’s Burrito Express and had the Huevos a la Mexicana—wow, what a delicious experience! The flavors were spot on, and the portion size was absolutely incredible. You get a lot of food for such an affordable price, which makes it a fantastic value.

If you’re a fan of authentic Mexican flavors, this place should be at the top of your list. The flour tortillas are a must-try—soft, fresh, and perfect for soaking up every bit of that delicious meal. Whether you’re craving breakfast or a hearty burrito, Raul’s Burrito Express never disappoints. This is a true hidden gem for anyone who loves generous portions and top-notch Mexican cuisine!“

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

“Best Mexican food you’ll love this place great service and super clean environment“

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

“Good the best“

“We tried Chelo’s Taco & Burrito Express for the first time tonight and it was excellent!!! Highly recommend!“

“Friendly and attentive staff, the food is authentic Mexican and delicious. We have dined here 3 times, mid-week and weekend and have not had more than a 1p min wait for seating. Proces are fair for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend if you like Mexican cuisine.“

“Always friendly staff, GREAT food, order extra so you have leftovers to warm up for a WEEK it’s that good 🌮🥰👍“

“My family and I moved to McHenry not that long ago and let me tell you, finding a Hispanic/latino restaurant isn’t hard to find - But finding the restaurant that delivers in not just their service, but their food is hard to find. That’s where my brother and I have found ourselves many times visiting other restaurants around the area and being let down…

Not today! We have finally found a restaurant that delivers in all the areas we have been looking for and then some. Listen, want to know how to spot a good Mexican restaurant , try their chip and salsa and their aqua de horchata. If they’re stale, you’ll know first hand what to expect.

Well, let me tell you that not only did this place feel welcoming, their food was delicious! The tamales was the key factor in this as well as their rice. My brother and I were left satisfied and happy. The owner reminds me of my father, someone who fights to make a living and the way everyone here treats their customers is outstanding! I can see why the people who kept arriving had a smile on and just respected as if they were familia.

Highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to come back! Gracias por todo ??“

“We absolutely love Mexican Paradise cafe! Brian and Lisa have created such a great atmosphere; you feel like you’re family coming here! The food every time is phenomenal! I personally enjoy the shrimp diablo (extra spicy) and my husband won’t go anywhere else for a chorizo burrito! Our favorite Mexican food in the area! Definitely recommend“

“Some of the best made-from-scratch Mexican food in the area! Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Great portions, delicious food, friendly service. I will drive 30 minutes from Marengo any day for this food!!“

“the food is always amazing. the waiters and waitress always kind and polite. fast service. my husband n I try to go here once a month“

“Kelly is an amazing host and person to work with when we were planning our daughter's baby shower for 20 guests. Lots of compliments from our guests about the appearance of this venue. We would HIGHLY recommend Main Street Station for a smaller venue atmosphere!“

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

“Muy rico todo! Las salsas diferentes y sabrosas los tacos y quesabirrias deliciosas! Pozole estilo Guerrero muy rico! Y el servicio ni se diga!! La mesera súper amable y atenta!“

“Las Carnitas Están Buenas Cuando Están Frescas, Recomiendo comer las carnitas con unas tortillas de milagro y la salsa verde de la azteca, lo mejor de lo mejor su cebolla y cilantro con un limonzitz, FIRE! 🔥 En mi humilde opinión, no me gustaron las tortillas echas a mano y tampoco me gusto las salsas… siento que si puede mejorar la comida no eh podido probar todo mas que las carnitas, y la carne asada, igual no me gusto tanto la carne asada pero eso es solo mi opinión. Jose, nos dona una charola de carnitas para darles de comer a nuestros mayores y ellos la disfrutan. Por partes si recomiendo este lugar por el corazón que tiene y las carnitas que hacen. Pero, si puede mejorar. Bendiciones 🙌“

“super rico y muy buena atencion recomendable“

“Me and my teenager love this place. Tacos are great!“

“Love the food here! But, not great customer Service. The service was pretty fast… But they did not have any cheeseburgers as it said on their menu for the kids meal. I also did not have any chicken nuggets from the kids meal, They also had no Lengua tacos and only enough steak to make three tacos. And I would also recommend updating your website to include that you no longer serve alcohol“

“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!!“

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

“Buen lugar buena birria 🥳🥳“

“Taco & Burrito Express is great. Their burrito was huge and delicious! I also tried their chicken quesadilla and put a hot sauce on it. The taste is mind-blowing. Worth trying! Perfect place to bring friends and family. Their location is very accessible. Taco & Burrito Express have never disappointed me. Thank you for awesome service!“

“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!“

“Delicious food and the staff is amazing!! Highly recommend! 🌮“

“The Mexican sweet bread is the best anywhere around this place. The chicharrones are the best in all of Chicago. If you are going to buy nopalitos and you want them without thorns, they will clean them right away. All their work staff are kind. God bless them and they laugh at their well-deserved money.“

“: “The restaurant offers an incredible experience, with delicious food and a very clean place. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the tacos have an authentic Mexican flavor that you can't miss. “The quality-price ratio is excellent.”And in English: “The restaurant provides an amazing experience with delicious food and a very clean environment.

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

“the best Al pastor tacos !!!! not to mention the lomo and arrachera is also #1“

“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.“

“food taste is average compared to others. but as per the price it’s good. menu can be customized also if you’re a vegetarian. always a go to meal, the service is quick and love their tasty sauce sashes with the cute funny one liners.

Vegetarian options: while ordering online, you can switch beef/meat options with beans or potatoes. I’m not sure if we can customize order offline as well or not.“

“Very good food! My fiance had the quesadilla and i had the steak burrito and it was 18$ total with drinks. The cheapest we've spent on dinner together! They don't skimp out on portions and it all tasted very good. Everything came out fast and hot. The waitress was also very friendly and kept checking in on us- which was nice. Definitely will be back!“

“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.“

“I stopped there in the drive through to get one soft taco before my grandson’s baseball game. No drink or anything else. A few days later I saw I was charged 6.52 from my checking account. I’ve tried numerous times calling and it keeps telling me that the voicemail has not been set up. I tossed my receipt in the recycling can with other paperwork from my car. Watch your receipts and make sure you are not over charged. Someone is pocketing extra money.“

“hard to believe, but Taco Bells (all) are very well run: ingredients always very fresh (they never miss on that), big menu, easy to & lots of modifications, staff is very well trained, stores are very clean & updated, open real late,. Great great value.

Sure, not authentic (those are good), & not a restaurant or high-end, but good. Even after many many yrs, better than ever.“

“Good place, come here a lot
Don't order before 10am on the app thou
They aren't functioning yet,
They honor your order from the app and will typically give you a free soda while you wait. For them to get up and running“
