Not mentioning the prices they charge, outrageous for the petty amount you get let alone the quality. Service is terrible. The girl at the counter ( I hesitate to say hostess ) could care less that you ordered over the phone or came in to dine. The building itself is one f the stupidest decors I've seen. I think they bought out several bundles of siding left over from Previous jobs. Black white and grey mixed up in no order. I tried them several times and each time was a huge disappointment. I really don't understand the reviews. Must be from friends family and or employees.

This was on a day with single digit temps so we were the only customers. The decor of the place was bright, cheerful and inviting. There were maybe 20-25 tables and a small bar in the back. They were located right on the main shopping area in Round Lake Park. My daughter ordered a fancy strawberry margarita which came piled high with pink Strawberry frozen mush in a salted frosted glass . She said it was delicious. We both ordered taco dinners with a variety of meats and shrimp tacos and they came with beans and rice, everything delicious and done perfectly. Julio checked with us if we wanted cilantro in our tacos and we both said yes. The tortillas were double, soft and made just right as were the ingredients. We sat for a long time eating and visiting, and had a lovely time. Couldn't have been better! The bill was about $40 before the tip. We'll be back. This place was only a mile or so from where I live so it is very convenient and easy to find with their bright yellow storefront. We were able to park right in front of the door.

Then after studying the menu for a while and her explaining how to order off of it, I realized it was so limited. Tacos, quesadilla, burrito, and torta. That's it no enchiladas, no tostadas, nothing else just a really lame basic menu. I apologized to the woman and told her there was nothing that I was interested in and left. I can't really critique the quality of the food since I didn't have it. Just the two stars is in reference to the limited menu.
