“I had a great experience at Qdoba! I stopped by in the evening, and everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. The rice was especially good, perfectly cooked and not dry like it can be at some places. It’s nice to get fresh food even later in the day. Whoever was cooking during the PM shift did a great job! Definitely one of my better experiences at Qdoba. I’ll be coming back!”

7 Taqueria Invicto

4.3 Superb 264 Reviews

“I love this place because the staff member carded me with a serious face so they get top scores for that even though I haven’t been carded in years (I think if they card any female over 40 or 50 they will continue to get great reviews with very happy customers feeling better). The food was outstanding. We first tried it at an event where someone had the pop-up service. We had to come to the actual place after trying it there. After eating at Invicto, I can never go to Chipotle again. The margaritas were terrific. I can see why people are raving about this place! The food and drinks are too delicious that we will want to go here too much when in Vernon Hills and will have to worry about weight gain stuffing our faces (which is a good issue to have).”

8 Maria Bonita Mexican Grill

10 Taco Bell

“Probably the cleanest and most consistent taco-bell I’ve been to. The floors and tables are almost spotless and you can tell the management holds cleanliness at a high standard by looking at the food preparation area which is surprisingly clean for a fast-food restaurant. Portion sizes are consistent and very reasonable over the last 5 times I’ve been there, and the food is served hot. I’m not sure about service since there are consistently new hires and several shifts of workers but the ones I have noticed are respectful but this might not be the case depending on who is serving you.”
