Drive past this place all the time, been meaning to try it out; so glad I stopped in for lunch today. Ordered the three taco meal (went with asada beef)--meal comes w rice and beans--and a small guacamole and chips. Stopping was legit the best decision I've made all day! First, the steak was juicy and flavorful and these tacos were, hands down, the most flavorful and delicious steak tacos I've had since I moved to Illinois! And these are not skimpy tacos!--I could barely close them because they tacos were stuffed w so much steak, pico de gallo, cheese, lettuce, and cilantro. Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering while I think about those tacos!! Small guacamole and chips were tasty, chips needed a little salt, but otherwise everything was PERFECT! Also, I ordered from my car (since I had some time to kill), and let the girl who took my order know, she offered to take my card over the phone and do curbside pickup, which I really appreciated. I am not joking when I say I had my hot and fresh taco within less than 10 minutes!! Try this place out!!! You won't be disappointed. read more

3 Amigo's - Carne asada taco meal - Mexican Near Me - Lake Villa, Illinois

Great place when it's open. I called to place a takeout order, it went straight to voicemail. I thought they were just very busy, which does happen. I drove there to see what's up. It was closed with no note on the door and the hours sign was not on. read more

This place is pretty good! The service was good, very kind and attentive waiter with quick service too. Seems like this spot gets lots of takeout, which is awesome for them. I got the chicken fajitas and the price was amazing and I had left overs for day with it. I like this spot! Great pico de Gallo as well read more

Food and service, very good! Probably the best guacamole I've had in years! The portabello mushroom burrito was excellent. read more

Excellent food, family owned and operated. Very pleasant people! My husband "Mel" orders and picks up the food.

Do not sleep on 3 amigos. This is one of the best restaurants in lake villa. I usually always order breakfast from here; they have huge portion sizes so you usually have to take it home but then you get left overs! My family each got something different. I ordered the denver omelet which was super cheesy! They also came with a side of pancakes! There was no wait and the waitress was super attentive. Can't wait to go back! read more

3 Amigo's - a table full of food - Mexican Near Me - Lake Villa, Illinois

Best Mexican food around. Love the Carne asada which is amazing.Super friendly wait staff.

Enjoyed our dinner tonight! Service was outstanding and attentive. Husband's burger was perfectly cooked and delicious! My taco plate was yummy: best - pork taco, good - chorizo, tinga - way too spicy for me but also yummy! The tortilla soup was sooooooo delish (my evening's favorite bites)! Casual atmosphere. read more

The food is pretty good, I got the carne asada and it was pretty good. Their chips are also solid. The service is always quick and reliable. The restaurant is well laid out and in good clean condition. They don't have tons of space so could be tough for large crowds. read more

Had a great carry out dinner the other night. The ordering process was very friendly and easy. They accommodated my special requests without worry. We had the burrito with veggies and the 3 enchilada plate. We ordered chips and salsa and quac also. The pick up process was simple, safe and fast. When we got home everything was packaged well and wow- the portions were huge. Our food was fresh and delicious. We will be back for sure! read more

I absolutely love this place. I took a star away because I ordered a 100.00 in to go and no chips. You have to pay extra. I won't be ordering out again. read more

Shrimp tacos ordered on 3/25 during Lent. There were large pieces of shrimp in the tacos. Everything was fresh & tasted great! If you're not sure if they have something on the menu or if they can accommodate something specific, just ask them & they'll normally change something up for you. Very flexible and willing to make your dish unique! read more

Excellent food in both taste and quality. Needs a bit more ambiance. Service staff great.

We eat here all the time. All the food is great, but I especially love the tortilla soup. Consistently good! Also, they have a variety of mole that are all very flavorful. Portions are good, prices are reasonable, staff friendly. I hope they're around for read more

Food was decent..But wow!! They are very expensive..I see why they don`t post their prices on line.

Food is excellent every time we've gone, and carry out is also great. Never a miss with 3 Amigos!

0 STAR REVIEW My wife and I met here after work for dinner. Have been here a number of times. As it wasn't on the menu, we asked the waitress if they could do shrimp quesadilla. She went to the kitchen window to ask. She returned to say they could, but the price had doubled. Now at the price for a steak, we said we weren't interested and wouldn't order that here again. We moved on to order something else. Within minutes, the cook/owner was scowling at us and wagging his finger. He marched out from the kitchen and in a raised voice began berating us, something about fresh ingredients. He was standing over me while I was sitting wagging his finger down in my face, yelling obscenities. Now worried about an altercation, I told him to step back and offered to pay for the chips and salsa he pointed out were special(?). He "didn't want my f...in money", despite being a repeat customer. Other customers and waitresses now looking on in horror, we told him we wouldn't be back or our friends. More obscenities about not needing their money as we quickly left. Still flabbergasted at what happened and how a community small business owner in today's online world wouldn't expect his customer service behavior not to affect business. Beware the loose cannon there. In hindsight, it was very reminiscent of; NO SOUP FOR YOU!! read more

I ordered from this place for the first time today. My wife ordered a steak burrito dinner and i 2 tacos o steak the other chicken. After I placed order was asked hot or mild sauce stated 2 of each. The total was $19.63. I thought for that kind of money it must be 2 good size tacos. Well get home no sauce, the tacos were the usual small ones and the food mediocre! No second time! It's the little things like the sauce not being included. In times like they are they're probably getting new customers; you'd think you go the extra mile to give me a reason to come back read more

Not plush but well done authentic Mexican food. Steak is done perfectly and the standard fare is well above average. Staff friendly even though they were busy and short staffed. read more

Best Mexican food!! Always fresh & quality food. We have been going there since they opened. Great service too. A must try if you haven't been!! read more

Phenomenal food and drinks. Great Chile relleno. Chips and salsa prior to entree being served. Clean and quick. Reasonable prices. Service with a smile. read more

I've been dreaming about the cream of spinach soup since my first visit here. It ain't sexy, but there it is! I guess I may be setting your visit up for failure though, since the cream of spinach soup is not a regular item on the menu. And it's an odd find for a Mexican restaurant, no? But it was just so yummy and silky smooth! It was offered complimentary, but it was so delicious, I ordered another to go for lunch the next day. Their chicken vegetable was tasty also. Yeah, I'm a soup girl. Guess what? They do have more than just soup here. ;) The salsa was great! I ordered a special that day, verde cruz chicken and it was 2 delicious, juicy char grilled chicken breasts simmered in a kind of chorizo/portabello mushroom/onions/capers sauce served with rice and beans and tortillas. My husband enjoyed his enchiladas and the taco he sampled. I LOVED my iced tea, uniquely flavored, almost like a very subtle chai, and the horchata my husband had was yummy, too, natch. :) We were impressed with the entrees, the freshness, the attentive service, inexpensive pricing and the overall potential for this new restaurant, especially in an area kinda lacking in unique, non-chain and tasty options. It's a cute little restaurant in an average strip mall (the old Scott's Dogs building before its sad closing) close to the Duck Farm Dog Exercise Area that my dog terrorizes occasionally (sorry!), and the Lake Villa Library. The interior, though colorful, could use a little warming up to make it less stark and more cozy in my opinion but I'm really nitpicking here and that may come with time anyway. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think we will try some breakfast options this weekend. Chilaquilles and biscuits and gravy, here we come! Funny, right? Can they do the b&g with chorizo?? Oooh, interesting! Looking forward to trying more items over time and I could really see upping this to 5 stars but I don't want to jinx it. read more

A hidden gem!! From the outside or inside you not guess you are going to enjoy a quality meal. The inside is pretty bare bo es but the food makes up for that in spades. The guacamole the flautas the retried beans everything was good to great and the serve Sangria! Our waitress was very attentive. we highly recommend giving this little eatery a try!! read more

Update: Remodel of front is nice, however major raise of prices. Still great food, however not the great deal it uses to be. As well, breakfast, my favorite part of the menu, is only available before 3 now. Reconsidered to 4 starts from 5. read more

Was in the other day and they still have the best steak taco salad on the planet. If you don't believe me? Check out this picture and see for yourselves..... Simply AWESOME! Thanks Sergio!!!!!! read more

3 Amigo's - Steak Taco Salad! - Mexican Near Me - Lake Villa, Illinois

Visit Three Amigos if you want Mexican food without traveling to Round Lake, or if you want breakfast/brunch without beating the crowds at the family diners. On this visit, I only saw Two Amigos, but I'm sure the third one is around somewhere. The food was better than when I first visited, which was around their grand opening. In addition to the free chips and salsa, I had the three enchiladas with tomatillo sauce: one beef, one chicken, and one cheese. They were all good. The beans and rice were fine (I've had better), but provided decent compliments to the enchilada's. The fried ice cream was so so - kinda tasted like soggy cornflakes. But it was okay. Something I didn't know. . .they serve breakfast. Keep that in mind if you don't want to deal with the crowds at the family restaurants on the weekends. Service was attentive and friendly. My meal: enchiladas, coke, fried ice cream was about $15. The decor needs fixing. The place used to be a hot dog restaurant, and the inside still shows remnants of it: the brightly colored squares near the ceiling that never got painted over, the way the kitchen is open to everything, the standing bar-type table still attached to the windows. . . . And what is with the bar tables with TV's on them? Is that up to code? I just think they took some shortcuts when renovating. And, what WHAT? There are still Christmas decorations on the side windows - that makes me wonder how attentive they are to cleaning. . . . Questionable decor aside, I would go back since it is the closest decent Mexican food to where I live. 3 stars Last visited 6/3/13 read more

This is really good food! They have much more than just Mexican fare - Burgers, sandwiches, BREAKFAST. I really liked everything I've tried (at least 15 visits now). I had a ham/swiss sandwich made with french toast for brunch once - it was awesome. The fish tacos are excellent. They have a habanero sauce and a green sauce (mild and spicey) that are perfect. I really can't say enough good about the food. In the winter months, they have very good homemade soup and often will offer a cup for free when you order dinner. Potato bacon is really good. The quality of food here is impressive. They tend to have a smaller more specialized menu that they do REALLY good. *Update: I had previously stated the service was pretty hit and miss and downright frustrating at times during their first year open. Well after over almost 2 years open now, they've much improved service. Training and attentiveness are much better. And the help seems much more professional. They had a BIG price increase - like $2 or more per dish. Still acceptable for the food you get but not the great deal it used to be. They updated the interior to include a bar area and redecorated. (thus the price increase?). Also have added a number of new dishes, some of which I've tried and are also very good. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican places in the area. The food is amazing, and so are the margaritas. It's not a poshly interior decorated place. It's the place where you come to get delicious tacos. read more

This has been our go to for the last 6 years in Lindenhurst for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast portions are quality, filling and large. The guac is the best around. Mom enchiladas are awesome and a staple go to. No buyer's remorse here. read more

I've been on the hunt for some decent Mexican food and I finally found it! Ordered the tacos with corn tortillas and asada, they come with refreshing beans and rice and it was everything I hoped they would be and more. Stuffed full of delicious juicy steak and the tortillas were a burst of fresh flavor! Can't wait to go back again and try more plates! read more

Don't believe the prices on these menus! I ordered the Tampiquenos (skirt steak w/enchilada, but when I picked it up, it was over $20. Make sure to check before you order. read more

Found this place by accident and so glad I did. It was a very pleasant surprise. The 2 people I was with and myself looked at each other after a few bites and all of us had the same reaction. Wow. This is good. Hot sauce was great, I had the grilled fish tacos, they were excellent. Will be a regular here even though I live 40 minutes away read more

Mexican food is one of my favorites but I did not care for this place at all. First off, what kind of Mexican place does not give you chips and salsa?!? Had the asada tacos for lunch; steak was in some weird tomato tasting sauce; flour tortillas were paper thin. There was shredded cheddar cheese (cheddar???) on top of them and I swear there was Parmesan cheese on top of the beans. Just a very weird place to me. read more

Surprisingly good! I am actually shocked they're still around, just because of the location. Seems like this would be a bad spot to stay in business, but I have been driving by for years and finally stopped in for breakfast. Yes, breakfast! And it was good! I had the Mexican skillet and it was good, with a lot of food. (Pretty sure I still had half left when I was done, and my boyfriend who has a pretty big appetite also had quite a bit left on his plate as well!) Will have to stop in for dinner soon! read more

We go there often. Sergio is the best! I always order steak and eggs for breakfast. The steak is always tender and the flavor is to die for! I don't know what they season it with, but it's more tasty than many steakhouses! I would recommend this place to anyone. I had company and they didn't want breakfast. I told my guests that they needed to go to Three Amigos. From the first bite of their steak, their eyes opened up and they could understand why I insisted on taking them for that experience! Now they want to make it a regular when in town. read more

Food is OUTSTANDING ! Sangria is as well !! A hidden little gem at grand and deep lake by vista, the library, the bp you name it !

We've been here before and like it. Went again and like it even more. Covid precautions all followed, wiped down tables, sides of tables and seats between each customer. I had the portobello quesadillas, so good. My husband had the SOUTH GUERRERO CHIPOTLE DINNER, huge portion and delicious. The tortilla soup was excellent too. Able to eat outside. read more
