“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“

“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 👏🏻“

“Best place around. Had a great birthday dinner. Fabulous people!! The deep fried ice cream was the bomb! Love this place!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

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

“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 hosted a Farewell Fiesta for our kiddo who is off to college soon. La Cocina provided the catering. The 30 taco trays with all the toppings were delicious and the salsas and sauces were so good. It’s been our favorite local place to grab a quick takeout meal and now we know that they provide amazing catering too!“

“Good the best“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“My husband and I have been dining at Mexican Paridise for years. This is one of our go- to places when we want a nice meal out. The owners, Brian and Lisa are awesome, along with the rest of the dining staff. The service here is phenomenal everyone always knows our order when we come in. We've tried most of the items on their menu and everything has always been delicious with generous portions. I absolutely love their margaritas! If you are looking for a locally owned, family business with exceptional food and drinks, this is the place for you!“

“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!“

“super rico y muy buena atencion recomendable“

“It is better service than I have received in the restaurants in the area, they make you feel like you are eating at home, the food is of very good quality, the carnitas are the best, not to mention the dough quesadillas, in fact all their food is I recommend, don't forget to order a champurrado too... If you try it will be your next favorite restaurant in the area.. Their prices are incredibly affordable for such good quality..“

“Best Mexican Restaurant in Lake County/ Round Lake Area. The food is amazing. The Pozole Rojo is my favorite.“

“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“

“Good food decent prices.“

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

“The tacos were delicious!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Best chicken in town. The food is just amazing, and this applies to every single visit. Great customer service and the best part is that there's like no waiting for your food, that's how efficient this team is. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.“

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

“First and foremost I usually do not like tamales but this place has the best tamales. They are delicious and super moist. I also had a bean papusa, and chicken papusa and both were delicious. This is one of my favorite El Salvador restaurants and I will be visiting them again. Along with the food being amazing the staff were very friendly, nice and the restaurant was very clean and smelled good.“

“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.“

“Stopped by tonight to grab a quick bite to Eat. A young lady names Ashley was super helpful, she assisted us as we patiently went through the menu, always had a smile on her face and genuinely was all about customer service. We got our food fast and service was top notch. Taco Bell, you found someone in Ashley.. help her to reach her goals!“

“Tacos were good except I ordered three flour tortilla tacos and I got three crispy corn shell tortilla. I'm looking for taco order good without errors. I have not yet found them. I guess I will be making my own.

Parking: Antioch, illinois

“The only reason why I’m giving it four stars it’s because I told them no cheese because I am vegan and cheese hurts my stomach but other than that they did a great job serving me my food, and they were very nice. Please be patient and courteous as they a lot of them are teens.“
