50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Grayslake

“I dont eat alot of Hispanic food but this place was awesome. 10 out of 10 would recommend“

“The food was absolutely amazing!! The margaritas were completely on point.. The service was top notch and the margarita flights are a must ❤️❤️❤️“

“This family owned business is everything I want in a restaurant. They don't say 'authentic', their food does and their thanks are genuine. My thanks to them are genuine, too.

Vegetarian options: Best fish tacos around!

Kid-friendliness: Toy grabber machine.“

“The BEST tacos I’ve ever had! I’m so glad we were told about this place and made the drive - 4 hours and we were not disappointed and did not go home hungry! We’ll be back!“

“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!“

“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 had ordered Taco Bell the other night for pick up on the app, and once we got home, we had food missing, and the food just wasn't good. They were very skimpy on meat as well. We called in, and the gentleman said he would have our order replaced and to ask for him or Sandra. I went back today, and Sandra (manager) was EXTREMLY nice and helpful. Our food was fresh and delicious! She even threw in a cinnamon twist. Thank you so much for making it right with a smile on your face, Sandra! You ladies always do a wonderful job during the day shift!“

“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.“

“Delicious! Been here several times. Never disappoints!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 👏🏻“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious. Try the elotes!!“

“Tried it for the first time today and holy mole was it good. The place is small but very well taken care of and very clean. I got the Bravo Burrito w/ steak and it was an excellent level of yummy spicy. Beans and rice were good, less salt than i am used to for a mexican place, but honestly liked that. Overall, i am so going there again and am excited to try other things.“

“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!“

Besides that this place does deserve five stars!“

“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.“

“Sabor inigualable, deliciosas.“

“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 margs and Palomas around. The homemade tortillas are killer. I haven't had anything here I didn't like“

“Good food decent prices.“

“Ordered from door dash and I got the steak/shrimp fajitas and it was really good. I'm from Arizona where mexican food is the BEST so I was skeptical - but this was more than decent - definitely would order again! I would have loved if they gave me napkins or utensils as I was in a hotel.“

“Rating a 4 star because I prefer more of a Chipoltle or Milwaukee Taco type of food..Overall, the food was hot and taste good. The chips and Salso were mediocre and could have used more flavors. I will say the highlihht of my lunch was the Horchata! That was one of the best Ive had in a while! So refreshing on a hot day and soooooo delicious!?“

“My go-to for plumbing concerns has always been Aligned Plumber's Service. When others failed, these professionals exceeded expectations. A recent emergency had me calling their dispatch in a panic, and they swiftly arrived within 30 minutes, preventing a potential disaster.“

“Great neighborhood feel!! Forget the big chains, this is a family owned, scratch kitchen with a fantastic staff and welcoming atmosphere. Incredible tequila selection. The new bartender is great, she really has an eye on customer service and a lot of great ideas. Hopefully some tequila tasting and flights in the future.“
