“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. 💞“

“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!“

“Delicioso 😋 y el servicio excelente“

“Love this place. Always get the tostados!!! Great chips and salsa too. Friendly people!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Qdoba! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but what really stood out was the staff. Ryan, the GM, runs a great store and was incredibly welcoming and professional. The associates—Jenny, Joe, and Alex—were all friendly, helpful, and worked together seamlessly to make sure everything was just right. You can really tell they care about customer service. This team made my visit exceptional, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

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

“Had a fantastic night at a painting event they had. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. It's a very fun and welcoming environment.“

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

“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.“

“la comida muy rica ...la señora que nos atendio fue muy amabla ..lo recomiendo !!!“

“Super good!!! Super happy 😃“

“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“

“After returning from our trip late at night, we found ourselves quite hungry and eager to avoid fast food. A quick search led us to a fantastic 24-hour restaurant that exceeded our expectations. The food was not only delicious but also offered a satisfying alternative to the usual fast-food options. We were thrilled to discover such a gem, making our late-night dining experience truly enjoyable.“

“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!“

“Sabor inigualable, deliciosas.“

“Everything was extremely overpriced, the food was ok but not worth the cost. They didnt tell us we had to order first and no one came to the table to tell us until we asked. And to top it off the food was cold when we got it.“

“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. 😁👍“

“Order online a lot from this place because they have the best Tortas and Burritos in Mundelein. This place also has the freshest vegetables on their food that I've had in the area with the same kind of food. And everything I've ordered has been great.“

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

“Their food is sooo good! Tried the food at the 2025 Walworth county fair. 😋 We will be going to their restaurant.“

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

“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!“

“Good selection of Mexican food, products, produce, and snacks! While we didn't buy from there, we bought from the restaurant attached to the supermarket. There's also a currency exchange counter, which has Vigo by Western Union. This supermarket is also a safe space for immigrants and other vulnerable people. There's a meat, deli, and seafood counter. The supermarket has a good selection of hot sauce and spices. There's also home cleaning produce. The produce section has what you expect. Fruits, vegetables and some Mexican ones like Aloe Vera. You can find specialty snacks and drinks like Mexican soda and chips. There's also some plates, bowls, and ceramic products. But one of the freezer doors has glass cracked. Did not break but that was concerning. In the restaurant attached, we ordered 2 shrimp tacos and tortas. But a small complaint, the tacos were quite small for 5 dollars each. They come with lime, and red and green hot sauce. But they are still delicious! So, if you're looking for a local Mexican supermarket with standard products, Mexican specialties, a welcoming place, currency services, a meat counter, and delicious Mexican food, this grocery store is for you!“

“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!?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
