42 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lindenhurst

Hands down one of the cleanest, friendliest Taco Bells I've been to in quite some time.
Walked in, and started tomorrow through the kiosk, a yound man (worker) said if we needed help not to hesitate to ask, which I thought was very nice since most young kids and even some adults these days don't want to even look at you and greet you when you walk through the door.

The dining room was super clean and the food was exactly what we ordered, pop wasn't flat like usual.

Thank you to the young staff at this specific Taco Bell. Keep up the good work and thank you for showing respect to your customers.“

“I can't recommend Taco Pros enough!

This place strikes the perfect balance between a quick bite and a full-service dining experience. Unlike other Mexican restaurants that go heavy on stereotypical decor, Taco Pros opts for a more modern and casual ambiance that feels fresh and welcoming.

The food is consistently fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and satisfying every time. Despite the quality, their service is impressively fast, comparable to a fast-food restaurant, but with that extra touch of care and attention you'd expect from a sit-down spot. It’s ideal if you’re on a lunch break or just craving a quick, delicious meal.

For those in offices, Taco Pros offers excellent catering options with trays that are perfect for any meeting or office event. My kids and I are regulars here, coming in at least twice a week. It’s easy to see why they’ve grown so rapidly in the past five years, opening multiple locations. Taco Pros really nails it with their combination of good food, great prices, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Ask for their 1 Taco kids meal, FF or rice and beans. It's great for kids 10 and younger.“

“Very fast and pleasant service, along with amazing food served here. 10/10 best restaurant I’ve been to in Grayslake! Sat down at 7:45, watched our food and drinks made be served before 8. Every costumer that came in was treated with the same welcoming, friendly, and FAST service. Will be returning as this is our new favorite spot. 💞“

“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 👏🏻“

“As someone who has worked in the service industry , Im delighted by the ambience, great staff service and most importantly the food/drinks. Amanda our server was super attentive, and even Pablo (the owner) came to the table to recommend great drinks.

For drinks the Mango Habanero cocktail was tasty!“

“We’ve been enjoying Taco Tuesday at Mexican Paradise for the past few weeks, and every visit has been nothing short of fantastic. Brian, the owner, personally delivers food to tables and makes it a point to give every kid a high five and a ring pop before they leave. He and his wife are constantly moving through the restaurant, making sure every table is well taken care of while also connecting with their guests. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick, and the food is always delicious with just the right portion sizes. Tonight, I noticed Brian taking the time to hold the door for an elderly woman and even walking her to her car to ensure she got there safely. Our waitress then informed us he does this every single night for his whole staff. 🥹 Dining at Mexican Paradise isn’t just about the food—it’s a full experience made with care, perfect for the whole family.“

“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! ☺️🌮🌯“

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

“Very, very good lunch menu! Family owned, I will definitely be back!!!“

“Food was delicious and staff very friendly,food came out quickly“

“I literally go here like 5x a week. Menudo and the chicken tinga tacos are my favorite, even though the entire menu is really great. For my navy/military brothers around the way, this is definitely a place to check out!

“Tried it for the first time today and holy mole was it good. The place is small but very well taken care of and very clean. I got the Bravo Burrito w/ steak and it was an excellent level of yummy spicy. Beans and rice were good, less salt than i am used to for a mexican place, but honestly liked that. Overall, i am so going there again and am excited to try other things.“

“Super good!!! Super happy 😃“

“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. 😁👍“

“The best margs and Palomas around. The homemade tortillas are killer. I haven't had anything here I didn't like“

“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!“

“Have lived in Round Lake Beach 17 years and this is my 1st time coming in for a sit down meal (Saturday 5/4, 7pm). The place was 1/2 to 2/3 full. What impressed me the most is the waitresses (only 2) were able to keep people fed in a very timely manner. The establishment is clean and the food was good. Both my spouse and I ordered the carne asada meal. Unfortunately one flank steak was a bit greasy compared to the other one. My spouse has acid reflux, so that's probably why she noticed this. Had an excellent experience, the prices are fair, and "yes" I do plan to dine at this establishment again one day.“

“Very poor service. They forgot our order and we waited for almost 2 hours. Eventually canceled our food. They did give us a round of drinks but disappointed. It says I recommend but it should say do not!“

“Buen lugar buena birria 🥳🥳“

IT WAS AWESOME!! Food was fresh and hot! Drinks were amazing! Staff were very friendly and helpful! Not to mention, music was appropriate!! We were pleasantly surprised to learn they are expanding!! This is our new go to for sit down and take out!!“

“Went there for lunch the food was fresh no sooooo good“

“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.“

“Went for my first time with my husband and friend tonight let’s say was amazing service and food. Shoutout to Samantha to be one amazing server, was very attentive on our needs and our orders. The food was hot and on point plus fast service. Also Chivis amazing host helping out Samantha and the rest making everything run smoothly. We will be back when we are in town.
