“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!“

“If you’re searching for a taco spot that genuinely lives up to the hype, this is it. 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.“

“En Realidad esta super deliciosos La comida y sus servicios y sasones Auténtico 100% Mexicano. Y Recuerden recordar es volver a vivir....“

“First time there. The salsa is the best salsa I have ever had so if I return I will be getting that. I was with one other person and we split the “Nacho Mama Nachos” which were really good, but had the tiniest scoop of guacamole which was not impressive. The watermelon frozen margarita was the WORST margarita I have ever had and I had to send it back because I couldn’t continue to drink it and I just had water for the rest of the night. They have quite an extensive drink list so I would try a different margarita but not that one.“

“I placed an online pickup order, but someone else accidentally took it. The cashier immediately apologized and made me another bowl right away. She genuinely seemed to care and handled the situation really well. Great customer service at this location.“

“Excellent service & excellent food. It was our first time trying this place. The food is so good and very flavorful. We'll definitely be back very soon.“

“I was looking for an authentic restaurant and so glad that I tried this place out. The ambience in there is very relaxing with traditional decor. The food was exceptional. We had the steak tacos and the steak was mouthwatering. The service was very friendly and on top of it. We will return!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Las Palmas! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant also has a comfortable, lively atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it!“

“Friendly and amazing food!!!“

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

“Delicioso 😋 y el servicio excelente“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“It was a decent place with nice food and clean environment. The ambiance was okay and the food was prepped as requested. No complains and I would surely recommend.

The paintings on the wall and the colors gives you a good mexican vibe.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“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. 😁👍“

“Super good!!! Super happy 😃“

“I been there a few times. Every time the service has been excellent the place is is nice and clean and most important the food is amazing good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“
