“Delicious! We saw the recommendation on Dine In/Dine Out Lake Bluff /Lake Forest Facebook page. So we decided to try it tonight. We were NOT disappointed. Service was friendly, nice casual dining spot. Great bar choices. The meal was delicious - we had the skirt steak and the flavor was top notch. My meal came with 4 shrimp and prepared well, not spicy. The flavors were yum and truly can’t wait to go back. From reviews the seafood looks delicious. We will try that next time!“

“Great food. Friendly owner. A lot of food for the price. Did I mention the food?? Okay, so it is a break room on the 3rd floor of the office building, but so what? That makes it even better. I loved the atmosphere! Pro tip: bring your own mug if you like Strong coffee. I'm positively wired after one cup. 10/10 would recommend.“

“OMG I really meant to post a pic but the food looked so darn good when we got it, we forgot! We had the quesabirria and everything ABOUT It was great! The seasoning was on point, the portions too! I was concerned that to only got 2 tacos because I'm used to 3 at other places but they were so filled.....I couldn't even eat it all!🤭 So yes, please go here! I didn't even mind that I had to place my own order on the kiosk. It was really easy & simple! Oh, the only downside is that the chairs are hard but I blame my hamstring for that! So if you have probs, bring a cushion. Oh and please try the churro shakes! Better than mcD!“

“Destination tacos? In Winnetka? Yes - that's now a thing. Fondita Miguel is 45 minutes from us, but is well worth the trip. We had the pastor-marinated (al pastor) pork, chicken tinga, beef birria, and hongos (mushrooms) tacos and got to sample the asada steak - along with the elote (street corn) salad, guacamole, and a variety of salsas (wow!). The beef, chicken, mushrooms, pork, and steak fillings in our tacos are completely different in taste, seasoning, and texture. The spice level is just right for us - with a nice kick, but without burning our taste buds. The corn tortillas were freshly fried and warm, with a soft-crispy texture - they crunch but don't fall apart when you bite into the taco! And the fillings are generous, which I think is a nod to American portion sizes. The salsas are not just your average accompaniment. Each has differently prepared chiles as the base, ranging from a milder, creamy jalapeno salsa to a hotter red salsa (with a secret ingredient). We also heard there's a fourth one that's hotter than the three we tried. Like the salsas, the elote is not just an add-on. It's a must-order dish for whenever you need a refreshing, cool, creamy, and sweet balancing bite between the savory and spicy bites of the tacos. We also enjoyed chatting with the friendly team at Fondita Miguel, and the super-casual, counter-service-and-lunch-bar atmosphere makes you feel like you're on a taco crawl in Chicago - without leaving the 'burbs.
Parking: Park out on the street out front in slots/stalls - no parallel parking necessary.“

“There is a reviewer on here that says he is from Chicago so he knows what good tacos are, and these aren't it. I laughed so hard because I am from Tucson, Arizona and I Love authentic Mexican food. I travel all over the US for work and this is a top 5 spot for me outside Arizona. Toda la carne es Buena.“

“We came from Minneapolis to Chicago and it was one of the first places we went to eat, because it was close. But everyone was super friendly and the service was good.
The rice and beans are more or less, but the rest is delicious. Especially the huaraches. So like the name, I recommend the huaraches!!“

“We used to live in Libertyville and came here all the time. Moved into the city in 2019 but still made the trip, albeit not as often. We always loved their tacos; the ingredients were fresh and flavorful and the quality was superb.We stopped by this week and it was definitely not the same. The steak was ok but it tasted exactly like the kind you can get at any other taco place. I can’t explain it except to say the magic was missing. Gone was that unique appeal that had us craving their tacos time and time again. Maybe it was just an off day, but if their recipe has changed for good, it’s doubtful we’ll be back. And that makes me very, very sad.“
