The restaurant has great food, but they are always out of ingredients. Mostly Chicken, White cheese, and salad dressing. These items also aren’t out at just the end of the day, but they are often out of chicken right when they open, or at 4PM. Great addition to Lake Forest, but you need to call ahead to find out what proteins and cheese they might be missing that day. Hoping they figure out inventory management, because the food is great when they have it.

Now I know where not to go. The food wasn't particularly good and came out to be almost double the cost of chipotle. And to top it all off, there are no trash cans. So you get to take your trash with you after dining, including those adult beverages you purchased (luckily we found a trash can down the strip). It was surreal and I wish I had picked somewhere else.

The waitstaff here was kind and friendly. The front of house seemed like sitting us was annoying however. The food came out quickly and our waiter was prompt about asking us for what we wanted. The food was very good and there was plenty for leftovers for sure. I’ll be coming back here, I would suggest trying out the orange chicken here!

Expensive plus I left hungry. Other Door in lake bluff offers better atmosphere and value!

Amazing fresh crunchy gluten free tacos and wide range of hot sauces available. They don't skimp on the fillings like so many other places do. Amazing flavor profiles. They're also fast. New favorite taco place and best hard shell tacos I have ever had! Please never change! I have been dreaming about these tacos ever since I had to leave IL. GO HERE.

The walk-down-the-counter-approach to having your dish customized is a tried-and-true approach of the Other Door (unfortunately, their previous, abandoned approach) in Lake Bluff. All the meat selections as well as additions were fresh and tasty. Oh, and they've got the guac that's perfect for us.

Better than chipotle, but get rid of (or get therapy for) the blonde hostess who ventures into the space from the attached Everett Station. She's horribly rude. And it's not just me. Have also heard the same from friends who won't return due to her condescending demeanor. She's a liability. Otherwise, food is really good--ingredients are fresh and worth the expense.
Very good Mexican takeaway. Fresh ingredients, great service and interestingly connected to Everett Farms on the other side so finding the entrance can be tricky. This is much much better than the other local Mexican without having to drive very far. What is it w/ patrons w/ children who visit these establishments and leave such a dirty mess on & around the table?

We tried this place for the first time tonight. Did online ordering. Got home only to discover the chips+salsa+guacamole order was missing. Nothing is more annoying than getting home after a long work week and having dinner messed up. I wasn't going to drive back to get it only to have the burritos get cold. Called the restaurant and explained the situation to the lady who answered the phone. She apologized and offered to have it delivered. To us, this is a HUGE deal. Himalayan Sherpa in Highwood is 3x closer to us, forgot naan once and refused to deliver it. Small gestures matter! So while we had finished the burritos by the time the chips/salsa/guacamole arrived, it was greatly appreciated and she included a small service recovery gesture too. The food itself is amazeballs. The taste is unique and flavorful, and it's a nice variety to some of the heavier, more traditional Mexican offerings in the area like Tacos El Norte (Love those places too but it's nice to get a little healthier sometimes without sacrificing taste). The salsas are all good, but beware of the spicier offerings (we went with the "blowing your stack" which was the level 5 of 6 (level 6 was sold out for the evening), and it definitely kicked our a**es. We did beef barbacoa and grilled chicken and both were outstanding. It's a few dollars pricier than other places, but the portion sizes are larger and plentiful. Given the tastiness of the food and the A+ service recovery efforts, we will 100% be adding this place to our regular rotation. They have mushrooms and sweet potato burritos as well but I'm sticking with their well marinated, tasty AF meats. Will head back again soon.

Very fresh and high quality ingredients to choose from to create hard or soft shell or bowl. Serve was attentive and friendly. Great vegan options (tried sweet potato option; next time impossible option). Six levels of house made hot sauces.

Really high quality food. Almost all gluten free. Very quick service tonight. Great take-out option.

We got a bowl and a burrito and they were both delicious! We had a slight issue with the order and when we'r let them know they were very good about making it right. We typically go to The Other Door (same restaurant group, also really good, also worth a visit) and were impressed they have totally different flavor profiles at The Station. Great selection of beers
