Mexican Restaurants near Lakemoor

“Me and my teenager love this place. Tacos are great!“

“Whoever was working April 29th at midnight, deserves a RAISE!!! I wish I got his name so I could put it in this review but wow he was a top tier employee. Food was immaculate, which is wild to say about a fast food establishment. Came out super fast. The employee forgot our two medium baja blasts but get this… when we came back through he apologized and upgraded us to larges!! Best Taco Bell I’ve ever been to.“

“younger shorter Hispanic male was very nice pretty sure he works 2nd shift and is very quick and helpful all and thoughout took my order from the beggining to the register very quick and even handed me a free side of green salsa after i paid.
tables were very dirty and drinks were all out but i understood it was around closing. this location is very good and love it here more then round lake“

“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! ☺️🌮🌯“

“wonderful selections, great service and value meals“

“Amazing food and even better service ❤️ Raul’s really makes the best tacos I’ve ever had and I could eat them everyday. But they are always suggesting new things for me to try and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Whether it’s a first time guest or a regular customer they greet everyone like family dropping by for dinner. The food is so good my friends from out of state talk about it long after they go back home. All I can say is If you haven’t had Raul’s you are missing out!“

“Tiene muy buen sabor sin duda es auténtico en comida no me quejo pero si en q no te dan un tenedor al menos q tu lo pida la muchacha q atiende se mira muy enojada no va ni una vez sola vez a preguntar por cortesía si es q todo está bien,, le pides agua sin hielo y te dice q no se puede q ya toda tiene hielo la comida buenísima el servicio no no bueno Gracias espero q este comentario sea constructivo!!!“

“We just celebrated my wife's surprise 65th birthday Sunday with 14 family members. We chose El vado #2 Mexican Restaurant and couldn't be any happier. From them going out of their way purchasing ballons and banners to her complimentary frozen ice cream the service, food and drinks were phenomenal. Very warm and welcoming staff. Very appreciative of your business and fantastic atmosphere. Thank you for this memory. Never felt rushed. Everyone in our family raved on how great it was and was one of our best parties ever. Familiar with their other restaurant in McHenry which is also excellent and reasonably priced. You have to try this place if you like mexican food. A+++“

“food was delicious the owner is a wonderful person highly recommended it, prices are very affordable“

“Fresh and yummy food. Friendly service. Try the tamal Oaxaqueño for a rich and complex mole flavor.“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“Best Mexican food you’ll love this place great service and super clean environment“

“I can not rave about this place enough. This restaurant is close to me and I go at least once a week. Friendly and I’m telling you, the food is amazing.“

“Food is really good. They gave large portions and prices are excellent. They have a bigger menu then I was expecting. Food is really good, but not spicy. They give you chips and salsa and a small bowl of soup for free. The decorations are also very colorful. If you come during the day, it is not very busy.“

“I have been to your restaurant three times first time had steak tacos ,second time ribeye burrito, tonight tampiquena dinner all three were delicious!!!! Don't change anything. You really have it going on!!!!!“

“on our first visit 4/16/24- tried chicken fajitas and chicken taco meal. Both were delicious and huge portions. Waitress was attentive and friendly. We'll be back!👍“

“Hands down La Fonda is second to none! Best authentic Mexican restaurant in McHenry county!!!“

“Friendly and amazing food!!!“

“I call ahead and pick up a bag of tacos omw home for easy dinner on tuesdays. Always so good!“

“The steak fajitas and tacos were delicious. Best Mexican Restaurant in the area, finally found my go to place!!!!“

“Sont judge the place from the parking lot, it is very big inside and it deserves 5 star rating. I had ribeye taco dinner! The beat tacos i ever had. My wife had a fajita and it was delicious. Absolutely the best Mexican place in the 20 miles radius. Highly recommended.“

“Kelly is an amazing host and person to work with when we were planning our daughter's baby shower for 20 guests. Lots of compliments from our guests about the appearance of this venue. We would HIGHLY recommend Main Street Station for a smaller venue atmosphere!“

“super rico y muy buena atencion recomendable“

“Staff was courteous; menu varied with traditional Mexican cuisine.
A bit too pricey for my budget. At $14 a burrito, wouldn't be able to visit regularly with 5 of us.
If your passing through Fox Lake, I'd suggest you give them a try.“

“Good the best“

“Love the food here! But, not great customer Service. The service was pretty fast… But they did not have any cheeseburgers as it said on their menu for the kids meal. I also did not have any chicken nuggets from the kids meal, They also had no Lengua tacos and only enough steak to make three tacos. And I would also recommend updating your website to include that you no longer serve alcohol“

“I was moving from an establishment and was waiting for a ride.. simple question asked if I'd ok to wait for my ride. Whomever the name .....she gave a few tacos while I waited. She dint have to do anything for me but, her kindness should not be taken advantage of. I recommend this place.“

“Some of the best made-from-scratch Mexican food in the area! Highly recommended.“

“The best Food and atmosphere. Great friendly service.“

“Great lunch menu, delicious. Great service.“

“Been going to Sergios since the beginning. The owner, Sergio, is an awesome guy. I moved out of Lake Zurich two years ago but every time I’m in town and am hungry, I usually try to stop by.“

“Owner is super nice, came by and offered me a free taco from his food truck. Went ahead and gave it a try. Show some love if you ever see him around!“

“very good quality food and a friendly,Kind and caring staff“

“Great Mexican Food in Downtown Round Lake with a Mexican Bakery next door“

“Super cute "authentic" vibes 🇲🇽 DELICIOUS food!!!“

“We eat there everything was amazing, food was amazing and delicious. The service awesome,very nice and friendly people there. 💯 recommended.“

“I ordered a Steak Fajita dinner, and it was one of the best meals I’ve tasted in a long time. Their hot sauce is very good; it’s not so hot that it would burn your throat.

MAY 2020 UPDATE: With the reopening after the COVID-19 shutdown, they started skimping on the meat for the Steak Fajitas; the portions of steak are now much smaller and they are compensating by adding more vegetables. Yet the price is still the same.

*NOTE: This business imposes a $10.00 minimum charge on credit & debit card transactions.

2025 UPDATE: Some of their menu items are starting to get overpriced. This business has also started imposing a 3% surcharge on credit card payments. Recommend paying by cash or debit card.“

“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. 😁👍“

“Nice small place tucked into a strip mall. Add tacos barbacoa. Which were excellent. We also had the largest tray of nachos ever. It serves over four people. The staff was friendly and the food was served quickly and piping hot. Superfresh.“

“When I arrived I had encountered quite the environment, firstly I really needed to piss so I entered the bathroom only to see a severed head in one of the urinals. Honestly I wasn't too focused on it as I REALLY needed to pee. I was seated near a cracked window but frankly, it just added to the atmosphere you know? My waitress Amanda was really sweet to me, nice woman... until I saw her go off on an family that was eating there... had a weird grudge against the grandma. I got my jamón al vapor quite quickly and the taste is even better. Now I am not one to nitpick, but when I requested I get one of those tiny umbrellas for my water what I got in return was a tiny skateboard instead, not ideal but I made it work. Overall would recommend, just stay out of the 2nd stall in the male restroom... that's my stall.“

“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!“

“Friendly staff and some of the yummiest food I’ve had! Come try it and I promise, you’ll want to keep coming back.“

“The Mexican sweet bread is the best anywhere around this place. The chicharrones are the best in all of Chicago. If you are going to buy nopalitos and you want them without thorns, they will clean them right away. All their work staff are kind. God bless them and they laugh at their well-deserved money.“

“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.“

“Went here for the first time service was exceptional. They let us know today was mothers day in mexico which I loved it doesnt change anything but it was cute that they mentioned it to us. They stopped us on our way out to give me and my friend roses for mothers day. They were quick and on top of everything, very attentive. Two mom with two little ones was a challenge but they made us feel very welcome. The enchiladas were great 9.5/10 the quesabirria was ok 6.5/10 not my favorite I couldve order soemthing else but I was happy enough. Absolutely would go back again.“

“New to area, first time here. Best shrimp tacos, added Cilantro to mine, perfection. Also had the enchiladas rancheras, plain cheese but added onion, they even made the sauce milder for me due to health issues I have with spicy stuff. The lady at the counter was also the sweetest thing ever and super helpful. One of the best Mexican places I've ever been to. So happy to live down the street from this gem!“

“great food, good service, can't wait to go back. 👍👍“

“Great food of all kinds, but my favorite is the shrimp soup with tortilla chips
There are friendly staff in a utilitarian diner, w entrances in front and in back. Easy to miss, but once you discover it, you'll be like the rest of us and keep coming back.“
