EATACO is hands down one of the best spots in Northbrook! The vibe is fun and welcoming, with colorful décor that makes you feel right at home. The food is absolutely outstanding — every taco is packed with flavor and super fresh ingredients. The margaritas are also top-notch, easily some of the best I’ve had in the area.
What really sets this place apart is the balance between authentic flavors and creative fusion twists. You can tell the menu is crafted with care, and it’s always exciting to try something new. Service is friendly, fast, and attentive, which makes the experience even better.
Whether you’re here for a casual bite, happy hour, or to watch a game with friends, EATACO delivers every time. Definitely a must visit if you’re anywhere near Northbrook!

first and last time dining here. we came in for a late lunch and ordered the elotes, a mexibowl, 3 tacos, and a side of fire roasted corn. The elotes and side of corn came out first and they were okay - the tacos came next, and instead of the mexibowl we received a burrito and sent it back. The unfortunate part was that there was a very long piece of what the waitress called “a piece of hair from a doll” for when a child was playing near the front checkout. Needless to say, we left. She came with the bill and it was $18 for a side of corn and an elote appetizer. We walked out hungry and slightly disgusted that we just paid $18 for corn. Disappointing experience.

If I can give 0 stars I would. Sophie, the server and manager, was beyond rude and insulting. We were the only people eating and my children who are both under 5 were being children, laughing talking getting up, again no one in the restaurant and half way through our meal she said “yeah I can’t do this” threw take out boxes down and said “you gotta wrap it up and go”. Unbelievable. Additionally we were charged for a menu item we never received which I had to flag for her. The tacos were soggy and didn’t taste well. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Absolutely terrible all around. If you’re going to work in customer service and hospitality then learn how to treat people with respect and grace. Try Tllacayo in Deerfield instead!

You're better off eating anywhere else. The elote was just cheese and mayo. The tortillas were dry and the quesadilla tasted like a grease river. If you want to get Mexican food, you're better off with Taco Bell.

Great food in a fun atmosphere, with great patio seating, too. Our favorites are the lamb and the coconut shrimp tacos. Margaritas and guacamole are great, too.
Came in with a group of 5 on a hot summer's day for lunch. From the get-go, our server Sophia was excellent, providing appropriate seating for someone with special needs in our group before we even thought to ask! All of us were exceedingly happy with our food. Each had 2 tacos of various kinds, all were terrific! My Al pastor was great, and the lamb taco was out of this world! Melt in your mouth tender, great flavor, perfectly moist, with a great complimentary salsa. Large selection of vegetarian tacos, which was good to see, as well as gluten free options. I've had tacos from all over the world, and these are some of the best I've ever had. If I were local, I'd definitely be a regular!! Kudos to everyone involved.
I love the outdoor eating area, and very tasty unique tacos.

Had been to the lounge next door prior and drinks were great so wanted to give this a shot. We went around 530p and it was very quiet to service was good and food came out fast. Food overall was disappointing. Across the board everything had too much sauce to the point where all the food was just wet and lost most of its texture. Street corn was flavorful but over salted and too much lime juice. Not one taco we had (Tinga, veggie, Al Pastor, etc) was satisfying. The pork was chewy and pineapples were rock hard. My wife and I both felt a bit nauseous after our meal. I’m hoping we caught them on an off night but would not go back.

Ordered takeout. Food was ready on time and service was attentive.
The beef brisket, steak, and fish tacos were our favorites. The guac was also very good and fresh tasting. The beef barbacoa taco was very interesting. Neither of us cared for the drunken beef taco.
Tacos were relatively expensive, but they were big and had good ingredients, so I don’t think they were overpriced. My one criticism was that tacos were packaged all together, without marking what was what. One of us has dietary restrictions so it was a bit of a disappointment to have to guess what was what. In the future, I would ask if they can package tacos separately.

Stopped in when we were in the area and so glad we did! We got the steak nachos and a burrito. Both were delicious and the portions were generous. The service was attentive and kind. We will definitely be back again!
