50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Round Lake Park

“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. 😁👍“

“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.“

“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! ☺️🌮🌯“

“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!“

From the very first bite, you can tell they’ve mastered their craft—every taco is packed with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat and layered with bold, vibrant flavors that hit all the right notes. Nothing feels rushed or generic; everything tastes intentional and seriously satisfying. And then there are the gorditas—easily the standout. Rich, and stuffed to perfection, they’re the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you’ve left. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong here. Every item on the menu delivers the same level of quality and flavor, making it one of those rare places where you want to try everything. Bottom line: this spot isn’t just good—it’s a must. Whether you’re a taco lover or just someone who appreciates incredible Mexican food, you’ll leave already planning your next visit.“

“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!“

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

“this my wife and I favorite Mexican place since we moved to Illinois we don’t even think about chipotle anymore. Actually, the thought of chipotle makes me wanna throw up lol but on a serious note, this is the best food all it’s consistent. Nice service great food the only thing if I was to say is that usually the locations have the AC running and so he just feels super cold and it makes the food colder so if they could turn the AC down a little bit so it’s not as cold that would be great.“

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

“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.“

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

“The food is pretty good, their burrito's are excellent. I have ordered for pickup from them around 4 different times now and each time something is either missing or wrong with the order. Not too big of an issue, if you call them they will make it right. But still, kind of disappointing to keep getting stuff messed up with the orders consistently.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“El mejor servicio y no se diga la comida rica“

“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.“
