15 Best Taco Restaurants near Vernon Hills

“Delicious Mexican food and creative cuisine.“

“The food tastes good, though sometimes the sauce portions are a bit small, but if you ask, they’ll give you more. Prices are on the higher side. I usually stop by after grocery shopping at Whole Foods with my family when we feel a bit hungry. It’s a self-service kiosk, yet it prompts for tips. At first, I didn’t realize and added a few times, but honestly, if tipping is necessary, it should go directly to the chefs.“

“It was an amazing experience. Service and food just perfect… gracias por una experiencia tan grata.“

“Stopped by on a whim and was very, very surprised. The outside is quite attractive with an outside eating area. The inside is nice and clean with plenty of seating. We ordered chips and salsa, Pollo with Mole, and the Steak Burrito Fajita. The chips are homemade (as expected) and very good. The chicken in the Pollo with Mole was super tender. The mole was rich. It came with homemade corn tortillas. The Steak Burrito is filled with fajita fillings, so steak, green and red peppers, and onions. The flour tortilla was filled and grilled giving the whole a nice smokey flavor. It was one of the very best burritos I have ever had. Look over my reviews. I have eaten a lot of burritos. They have a creamy salsa verde that is great, a very nice Roja sauce, and a hot sauce that is no joke hot. Our server was great and the whole experience was a great one. Will be back soon.“

“Beer-battered shrimp tacos, with their special topping, plus we added a slice of avocado, was what we had for dinner tonight. My husband stopped midway through his meal and said this was the BEST TACOS …and guacamole! Thank you Taco Shop!!!“

“Antojitos Hondureños – Waukegan, Illinois

Antojitos Hondureños is the real deal — truly authentic Honduran food made with love, patience, and heart. Every visit feels like coming home, surrounded by people who treat you like family and serve dishes that taste just like those back in Honduras.

If you go (and you absolutely should), make sure to try the mondongo, guiso de pollo, pastelitos, pork nacatamales, or enchiladas — honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The food is made fresh to order, not precooked, so be patient; it’s well worth the wait.

There’s no alcohol and BYOB isn’t allowed, but that doesn’t take away from the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you come with family, friends, or just for a comforting meal on your own, Antojitos Hondureños is a place that captures the true flavors and spirit of Honduras right here in Waukegan.
Make sure you get some Zambos to go too!!!“

“Favorite burrito of all time. Same flavor. Love spicy salsa. I wish I live closer to this place so that I order more often.“

“I stopped by this morning looking for an authentic Mexican breakfast. Everything was delicious . But the probably had the best refried beans and chorizo I ever had. The portion was huge enough for me to share with 3 others in my office. Looking forward to returning.“

“The food surprised me here. The burgers and tortas are my favorite. The pizza is better when ordering a whole one than ones sold by the slice, due to being fresh. For having pizza in the name I was surprised that so much of the other food beats the pizza. The Mexican, the pasta, the burger, and app all rank higher for me than the pizza. It’s a frequent and convenient stop for me.“

“Best burgers I have ever eaten. Gyro's are great. Try the chicken sandwich too.“
