37 Best Mexican Restaurants in Waukegan

“Ever since I got my dog, I’ve struggled when I get hungry while he’s with me in the car. Not every place has outdoor seating or a drive-thru, so this time I was specifically looking for a Mexican restaurant with a drive-thru— and I’m so glad I found this place!

The food was delicious and generous. My favorite Mexican dishes are asada tacos and asada tostadas, but I’m usually picky about where I get them. This place did not disappoint.

On top of that, the staff were amazing, they even gave my dog a treat! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“El mejor lugar para tacos al pastor,además muy exquisita toda la comida.“

“I've been a repeat customer for the great food and great service 👌 💖 everything we've ordered has been delicioso“

“I’ve been coming to Toluca’s for about a year now, sometimes even a couple of times a week, and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, and the quality stays consistently great no matter what I order.

What really keeps me coming back, aside from the amazing food, is the environment and the staff. Whether I go in for a casual dinner, to catch up with friends, for a business meeting, or even a work-related dinner, I always feel welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and perfect for any occasion.

I especially want to highlight two of the waitresses who always go above and beyond – Roshell and Gabby. They’re both incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, always making sure everything is perfect and that I have everything I need without even having to ask. Their service truly makes each visit special.

Thank you Toluca’s team for always providing such a great experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good food, a friendly environment, and outstanding service.“

“In general, Mexican food is tasty, and here it is still tasty, but in particular in this establishment they roast the chicken and serve it with the feathers, you can even see the chicken roasting even with the feathers in the kitchen, a huge point to improve.

“Typical Taco Bell. I like the Chicken Quesadilla. Usually quick. Sometimes there are a lot of pending orders for pickup and their drive through is also busy. Sometimes it may take time for the orders to be served. Due to the delay one time they gave me some burritos (on the house) but I had to refuse it as I do not eat beef?

Parking: No reason to worry about parking at this location.“
