Mexican Restaurants near Lake Bluff

“We went to their location in Libertyville all the time. Heartbroken when it closed. So glad they have this location. Best chimichanga ever. No on come close.“

“This is a hidden gem. I wasn't aware of this restaurant until recently. I like the many options available for meats, salsa, toppings, corn or flour tortillas, etc. I've had the burrito bowl most recently. The chicken is moist and not overcooked and dry, the Pico is fresh, a wide variety of salsa choices from mild to hot. It's so nice to have a great go-to restaurant that's not the usual fast food fare and a really good Mexican restaurant nearby.“

“It's good and customer service is fantastiiiccc!!!“

“Simply AMAZING! Ochoa’s is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. We recently used them for catering (25 people), and everything exceeded our expectations. Communication was top-notch, portions were huge, and the food was incredible. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the juicy chicken and steak, the homemade chips and salsas, and guacamole that could honestly be eaten by the spoonful. Mr. Ochoa truly takes pride in his food — you can taste the love in every bite. Highly recommend for both dining in and catering!“

“Wow amazing food. I was around town and decided to go to a random restaurant but definitely coming back. The steak and burria tacos were amazing. I have not had this good of tacos for a long time. This place is about 40min drive from my house bit definitely will be coming back many times.“

“El mejor lugar para tacos al pastor,además muy exquisita toda la comida.“

“Best tacos ever!! The taco selection is authentic and a great price! Only place to him for tacos in my mind!“

“Tolucos is easy to find and has plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The space inside is a bit on the smaller side, but they are expanding, so that says a lot about how well they are doing. Now let’s talk about the food. Flavor. Real flavor. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully made. I had the pozole flight, and it was honestly a treat. Every single bite delivered. You can tell this is comfort food done right. The tacos dorados were hands down the best I’ve ever had. I went with the papa ones, and they were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. I also tried a birria taco, which was amazing and packed with rich flavor. Their salsas and chiles deserve a shoutout too. Bold, fresh, and on point. Nothing watered down. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and I would absolutely come back without hesitation. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food done right.“

“Food 9 out of 10, service is always a 10, it’s a very tight place and can get a little over whelming when it’s a full house which is almost all the time. I haven’t had a bad item off their menu, worth going or to go, won’t be disappointed.“

“Food is great and fresh, portions are legit, ingredients are clean, staff is super friendly and welcoming, price is right, and the atmosphere is great.

It’s literally the exact opposite of the infamously terrible Chipotle right across the street, so come support Guzman y Gomez instead!“

“This restaurant will be a new fresh Mexican cuisine favorite for us! From the outside you wouldn't know the clean, open, friendly atmosphere inside. Everything ordered at our table was delicious. Our waitress, Carmen, was fantastic - so attentive, friendly, thorough and helpful. Food came out quickly and perfectly. Compliments to all!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Qdoba! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but what really stood out was the staff. Ryan, the GM, runs a great store and was incredibly welcoming and professional. The associates—Jenny, Joe, and Alex—were all friendly, helpful, and worked together seamlessly to make sure everything was just right. You can really tell they care about customer service. This team made my visit exceptional, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Great food. Love their steak tostadas.“

“A real authentic Mexican restaurant in Highland Park or in a lot of the North Shore is hard to find so I’m glad I found this one! Food is great, Service has been really friendly and attentive. These last few times I’ve gone. Enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio. Definitely coming back!!“

“In general, Mexican food is tasty, and here it is still tasty, but in particular in this establishment they roast the chicken and serve it with the feathers, you can even see the chicken roasting even with the feathers in the kitchen, a huge point to improve. They must improve hygiene and keep tables clean for customers“
