50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Round Lake Park

“Muy rico todo! Las salsas diferentes y sabrosas los tacos y quesabirrias deliciosas! Pozole estilo Guerrero muy rico! Y el servicio ni se diga!! La mesera súper amable y atenta!“

“Las Carnitas Están Buenas Cuando Están Frescas, Recomiendo comer las carnitas con unas tortillas de milagro y la salsa verde de la azteca, lo mejor de lo mejor su cebolla y cilantro con un limonzitz, FIRE! 🔥 En mi humilde opinión, no me gustaron las tortillas echas a mano y tampoco me gusto las salsas… siento que si puede mejorar la comida no eh podido probar todo mas que las carnitas, y la carne asada, igual no me gusto tanto la carne asada pero eso es solo mi opinión. Jose, nos dona una charola de carnitas para darles de comer a nuestros mayores y ellos la disfrutan. Por partes si recomiendo este lugar por el corazón que tiene y las carnitas que hacen. Pero, si puede mejorar. Bendiciones 🙌“

“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.“

“I dont eat alot of Hispanic food but this place was awesome. 10 out of 10 would recommend“

“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 👏🏻“

“They've got the best vegetarian burritos.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently visited Raul’s Burrito Express and had the Huevos a la Mexicana—wow, what a delicious experience! The flavors were spot on, and the portion size was absolutely incredible. You get a lot of food for such an affordable price, which makes it a fantastic value.

If you’re a fan of authentic Mexican flavors, this place should be at the top of your list. The flour tortillas are a must-try—soft, fresh, and perfect for soaking up every bit of that delicious meal. Whether you’re craving breakfast or a hearty burrito, Raul’s Burrito Express never disappoints. This is a true hidden gem for anyone who loves generous portions and top-notch Mexican cuisine!“

“Delicioso 😋 y el servicio excelente“

“awesome food and service. will be back!“

“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.“

“You know sometimes you find a gem by accident. I was walking around downtown Fox Lake waiting for a car repair. I wandered into a clean unassuming Mexican restaurant and got their full attention. I was treated like a king. Large portions of fresh quality food at low prices. It doesn't get much better than this. Customers should be standing in line to get in. Fully five stars.“

When I visit Mandelein again I will return for sure.
I attach photographs of the food.
Thank you so much Tacos el Norte.“

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!!“

“My go-to for plumbing concerns has always been Aligned Plumber's Service. When others failed, these professionals exceeded expectations. A recent emergency had me calling their dispatch in a panic, and they swiftly arrived within 30 minutes, preventing a potential disaster.“

“Si me gustó la comida . y tienen buen servicio. las meseras son muy amables“

“Rating a 4 star because I prefer more of a Chipoltle or Milwaukee Taco type of food..Overall, the food was hot and taste good. The chips and Salso were mediocre and could have used more flavors. I will say the highlihht of my lunch was the Horchata! That was one of the best Ive had in a while! So refreshing on a hot day and soooooo delicious!?“

“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!“
