43 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Villa

“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 👏🏻“

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯“

“I went to buy 4 al pastor tacos around 8pm, Mary was my server. She seemed very sad, irritated, and said a bad word in Spanish of which I understood. I received most of the rest of the service by another server with black hair. I enjoyed the food and music. But please be more friendly to your community. Thank you!“

“Cute small restaurant off Rt 134 in Round Lake with excellent margaritas and delicious food. Got the Mexican Eggs breakfast and it was perfect! Eggs not runny or over cooked, more than enough for the 4 tortillas provided. Generous portion so I am bringing some home! Yummy on the rocks strawberry margarita with plenty of strawberries 🍓 floating in it. Several lime slices and an orange in the traditional margarita. Would recommend and we will definitely be back to try the $1.99 tacos on Tuesdays. 😁👍“

“Had the pleasure of dining here today with my wife while on a short vacation, and it truly stood out as an exceptional experience. Food: Whoever is in the kitchen deserves a raise—everything we had was nothing short of phenomenal. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Service: We were served by Holly, who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. Highly recommend requesting her if you visit! Must Try: I’m not sure how they do it, but their chips and salsa are hands down the best I’ve ever had—absolutely unforgettable. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a dining experience that’s truly above the rest.“

“Excelente servicio. 1. 2. Los tacos al pastor.. los mejor. Me llevaron a lindo México en una mordida raza. Sin exagerar 3 las cemitas están buenas. Curtidas y frescas. Un 20 de 10 la verdad. Maneje 40 min y valió la pena la gas y mi tiempo.“

“Buen lugar buena birria 🥳🥳“

“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.“

“A mi en lo personal me gustan mucho las carnitas y sus tacos dorados ni se diga! Siempre Han sido muy amables con nosotros! Eh ordenado comida para un evento y todo rico!“

“Just got the new spicy salsa and it is amazing! Just like going to a Mexican restaurant!!!“

“Earlier today I went there with a friend of mine, and we got lunch and brought it back to the house to eat. WOW! It was absolutely outstanding. The torta Cubana was huge, and you could easily identify all of the various meats inside. Very well prepared. Even the lettuce was cool and crisp and identifiable The taco El Pastor was delicious. The tamale was well-made and tasted. I may just have found my new favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“Excellent authentic Pupusas…SO DELICIOUS! They also have a great menu, of many other authentic items! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Thank you for being the BEST… I APPRECIATE YOU ALL! I am a customer 4Life! See you soon! 🌞✝️🗽🦅🇲🇽🇸🇻🇺🇸“

“We enjoy this local Mexican restaurant. Great food, casual and fairly priced. Family friendly too!“

“Clean! No frills authentic food at a great value! They give you chips and salsa and the best soup for free. The service is friendly. Salsas are perfect. A steak burrito for $8.50. What! makes this the best hidden gem around. Viva Lomeli’s“

“Love this Taco Bell! I always get a grilled cheese steak burrito and it’s perfect everytime.Always get DoorDash late at night. And they always make my food to a T! Also anytime I go through the drive thru they are just so sweet and kind! I know it’s fast food…. but thanks for being a consistent comfort food for me and I know it’s gonna be top quality EVERYTIME! Thanks guys!“

“Mmm 😋 sabrosa comida,por ese motivo sí es él rey del pollo asado.“

“Stopped in here yesterday for lunch and drinks I had the quesabirrias dinner it was so delicious best birrias tacos I ever had my server was Miss. Lupe she was so sweet and very patient customer service was outstanding everyone that worked there was very nice energy was very positive if you are ever looking for some Tacos 🌮 make sure you stop in here and ask for Miss Lupe see you all again soon.“

“My favorite fast food chain location in the area. The only thing stopping it from 5 stars is the booth tables are frequently dirty.

Everything else from service to food to value is 5 stars. The staff is usually friendly, quick to apologize if there's even the slightest wait, and will even try to bring my food to me if I'm not waiting at the counter.

Truly the service has me go back a lot.

The value and quality taste of the food is phenomenal for the price. I highly recommend the luxe menu where there are multiple delicious items for less than $3

I'm a huge fan of the Beefy Potato Loaded Griller (comes a little spicy) for $2.89, finally some chips and dip with neat for under $3, the seasoned fries are delish.

I frequently come between 2-5pm to get a soda for $1 and a slight upcharge for a dirty soda (adding cream). Now if only I could get them to make a Mountain Dew Midnight ZERO I'd be in heaven.“
