49 Best Mexican Restaurants near Fox Lake

“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! ☺️🌮🌯“

“This was the first time I've ordered from here. Will be ordering again. Chili relenos was great as were the steak tacos!“

“Friendly and amazing food!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Their new green sauce is delightful. Hate the kiosk ordering which is challenging to order from. Why is a medium soft drink $1 but a small is $2.39? Yes they will still let you order at a cashier but there is no menu so you have to use the kiosk to see the selection. Why are the signs now all saying Taco Bell delivery? Do they not want us to come in?“

“Our server Jessica was fantastic. Friendly, patient with our questions and spot on taking care of us (4 people). The food was excellent!This was my 1st time here and I'll be a returning customer plus bringing others as well. Thank you so much. 😊“

“Amazing food and even better service ❤️ Raul’s really makes the best tacos I’ve ever had and I could eat them everyday. But they are always suggesting new things for me to try and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Whether it’s a first time guest or a regular customer they greet everyone like family dropping by for dinner. The food is so good my friends from out of state talk about it long after they go back home. All I can say is If you haven’t had Raul’s you are missing out!“

“If you’re searching for a taco spot that genuinely lives up to the hype, this is it. From the very first bite, you can tell they’ve mastered their craft—every taco is packed with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat and layered with bold, vibrant flavors that hit all the right notes. Nothing feels rushed or generic; everything tastes intentional and seriously satisfying. And then there are the gorditas—easily the standout. Rich, and stuffed to perfection, they’re the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you’ve left. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong here. Every item on the menu delivers the same level of quality and flavor, making it one of those rare places where you want to try everything. Bottom line: this spot isn’t just good—it’s a must. Whether you’re a taco lover or just someone who appreciates incredible Mexican food, you’ll leave already planning your next visit.“

“7/12/2025 Saturday - Had the same experience as stated, but place was maybe 1/4 full. Prices are reasonable. Had carne asada again and within 12 minutes received and cooked to perfection. I appreciate this place and the service they provide.“

“Had it tonight! Steak tacos and torta Milanese was amazing! We will be back“

“Good the best“

“super rico y muy buena atencion recomendable“

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

“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!“

“Excellent food and service! Huge breakfast menu with so many options!“

“Had the pleasure of dining here today with my wife while on a short vacation, and it truly stood out as an exceptional experience. Food: Whoever is in the kitchen deserves a raise—everything we had was nothing short of phenomenal. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Service: We were served by Holly, who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. Highly recommend requesting her if you visit! Must Try: I’m not sure how they do it, but their chips and salsa are hands down the best I’ve ever had—absolutely unforgettable. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a dining experience that’s truly above the rest.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Their food is sooo good! Tried the food at the 2025 Walworth county fair. 😋 We will be going to their restaurant.“

“I ordered a Steak Fajita dinner, and it was one of the best meals I’ve tasted in a long time. Their hot sauce is very good; it’s not so hot that it would burn your throat.

MAY 2020 UPDATE: With the reopening after the COVID-19 shutdown, they started skimping on the meat for the Steak Fajitas; the portions of steak are now much smaller and they are compensating by adding more vegetables. Yet the price is still the same.

*NOTE: This business imposes a $10.00 minimum charge on credit & debit card transactions.

2025 UPDATE: Some of their menu items are starting to get overpriced. This business has also started imposing a 3% surcharge on credit card payments. Recommend paying by cash or debit card.“

“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. 😁👍“

“Excelente servicio. 1. 2. Los tacos al pastor.. los mejor. Me llevaron a lindo México en una mordida raza. Sin exagerar 3 las cemitas están buenas. Curtidas y frescas. Un 20 de 10 la verdad. Maneje 40 min y valió la pena la gas y mi tiempo.“

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

“We got El Vado's food truck for a private event and we couldn't have been happier with the food. The three employees busted their butts kicking food out fast for us! They were so kind, and communicated throughout the event to ensure if we wanted to keep the truck open. Thank you again for elevating our event with your amazing food truck!“

“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!“

“Good selection of Mexican food, products, produce, and snacks! While we didn't buy from there, we bought from the restaurant attached to the supermarket. There's also a currency exchange counter, which has Vigo by Western Union. This supermarket is also a safe space for immigrants and other vulnerable people. There's a meat, deli, and seafood counter. The supermarket has a good selection of hot sauce and spices. There's also home cleaning produce. The produce section has what you expect. Fruits, vegetables and some Mexican ones like Aloe Vera. You can find specialty snacks and drinks like Mexican soda and chips. There's also some plates, bowls, and ceramic products. But one of the freezer doors has glass cracked. Did not break but that was concerning. In the restaurant attached, we ordered 2 shrimp tacos and tortas. But a small complaint, the tacos were quite small for 5 dollars each. They come with lime, and red and green hot sauce. But they are still delicious! So, if you're looking for a local Mexican supermarket with standard products, Mexican specialties, a welcoming place, currency services, a meat counter, and delicious Mexican food, this grocery store is for you!“

“King burrito is the best burrito I've ever had at any restaurant here in the states or in Mexico. Nelly is the friendliest and best cashier , order taker ,food server ive ever dealt with . Highly recommend this place for food and service“

“I came here with a large group of friends and family members for the first time for a memorial to a nephew who used to frequent the pub and passed away. I live in the Northside of Chicago, it was a pretty long drive. The pub was clean, well kept, the bathrooms were clean, the people were friendly and the service was prompt and great. I wont say ill come back again because I live too far, but I liked the place. I have no issues.“

“The food is pretty good, their burrito's are excellent. I have ordered for pickup from them around 4 different times now and each time something is either missing or wrong with the order. Not too big of an issue, if you call them they will make it right. But still, kind of disappointing to keep getting stuff messed up with the orders consistently.“

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

“Buen lugar buena birria 🥳🥳“

“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“

“Excellent authentic Pupusas…SO DELICIOUS! They also have a great menu, of many other authentic items! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Thank you for being the BEST… I APPRECIATE YOU ALL! I am a customer 4Life! See you soon! 🌞✝️🗽🦅🇲🇽🇸🇻🇺🇸“

“Taco Tuesday! Happy Hour! The cleanest, freshest, tastiest Mexican restaurant in town. We love this place! We've been going through the drive thru for months and finally decided to come inside. We might never drive through again!! The staff is so accommodating you might just stay a while....“

“Delicious AND affordable!

Came here for a dinner on a Monday night. It wasn't busy and we got seated right way. The waitress gave us complimentary chips and salsa and a cup of soup. The soup hit just right on a rainy night.

The waitress gave us 2 alternative less spicy salsas without us even asking! We ordered the lengua (beef tongue) burrito and the lengua gordito dinner.

It was so good. The lengua was so tender and flavorful. It's so hard to find good lengua like this in the Chicagoland area. Everything cost us less than $25.

We will be back!“

“Whoever was working April 29th at midnight, deserves a RAISE!!! I wish I got his name so I could put it in this review but wow he was a top tier employee. Food was immaculate, which is wild to say about a fast food establishment. Came out super fast. The employee forgot our two medium baja blasts but get this… when we came back through he apologized and upgraded us to larges!! Best Taco Bell I’ve ever been to.“

“Maria is amazing! I just left there and ordered through the drive thru. I have been coming pretty regularly lately and she informed me I have been ordering something the wrong way and paying extra money when I could have just been substituting instead. She is also super friendly. Wonderful employee and I think she deserves a raise! :)“

“I came into the restaurant last week and Nina was working. Absolutely fantastic service helped my daughter choose her new favorite meal from Taco Bell and the service was unforgettable 10 out of 10 100% grade a service from Nina!
Thank you!“

“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.“
