The food came out pretty quick. They have $2 tacos (for the most) and $3 tacos (steak or shrimp) on Tuesdays. I was curious what the smoked brisket was on the menu. It's a smoked brisket taco. It was mouthwatering good. I also ordered the steak taco, but after having the brisket, I wanted more brisket. It was a bit expensive for a taco, but it was really good. The habanero salsa was no joke. Super spicy and super delicious. I'll probably be back to try some of the other menu items. Overall clean, friendly, quick service!

Instead of being the canned stuff you can tell they put both a lot of care and seasoning into it. We moved out to the burbs and I saw this one on Yelp...but was it related? I mean, they have two different websites, and the one for this location literally has on their website "Serving you at one location!" We weren't sure, but we were willing to give it a shot. We came early on a Saturday, and inside they had a picture of the one in Chicago, and street signs for Ashland and Roscoe, where the Chicago one is located. So it HAS to be related...right? But the menus looked a little different... We got started with the chips and salsa, and the salsa has a real kick. Note that you only get the first chips for free and more chips would cost more. My wife got a torta, and I got tacos with steak and eggs on it, while my kid got the kid's quesadilla meal. And sure enough, there were those beans. Not dry at all and super flavorful. Next time I need to do my wife's play and order double beans instead of beans and rice. My tacos were messy but cooked well, with lots of bits of steak. I was a little confused because I thought my kid's meal would come with a drink, but they charged for his lemonade. I assume it's because it was a special blended drink and not just from a soda fountain. Now that we know this is here, we'll definitely be back, especially seeing that they have a patio for warmer weather. Glad to see we have an option when we're missing our city days.

After seeing Taco Verde on TikTok, I finally decided to order takeout--and it absolutely lived up…read moreto the hype. The ordering process was quick and easy, and the food was delicious. If you're looking for a unique taste of birria, this is the spot. Their birria pizza is hands down one of the best I've ever had--crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The rich, savory consommé perfectly complemented the tender meat and took the whole experience to another level. We also tried the loaded fries, which were generously topped and had a great balance of textures and flavors. Everything tasted fresh and indulgent without being overwhelming. I would 100% come back. Just a heads up: the restaurant is on the smaller side with limited seating if youre eating in.

The tortillas were soggy, the fillings were skimpy, and the salsa had zero kick or flavor. Service didn't help the situation--slow, disorganized, and uninterested. Even though the place wasn't busy, it took forever to get our order, and it still came out wrong. For the price, the portions and quality just don't make sense. There are plenty of better taco spots that actually care about flavor and customers. Taco Verde feels like it's coasting on the name alone. Definitely won't be coming back.

Eataco is a cute eatery for Mexican food in downtown Northbrook, and it had been on my to-try list…read morefor a while. On a rainy Thursday night, we finally had a chance to check it out because we wanted a quick and easy meal before heading to the Art exhibition opening in the Northbrook Public Library close by. The restaurant was not busy at the time. There was only 1 table occupied. After we settled down, there was another small table taken. Our waitress was friendly, but after she brought the Miller Light for my husband and a draft beer "Fist City" for our daughter, she forgot about my lemonade. I had to remind her when she brought our food. She also just brought 1 Fish Taco when my daughter ordered 2, and had to place another order again. Not a big deal. When we left and passed by her, she didn't say anything like thank you or good bye, just looking at us. It was a little awkward. Well, maybe she's just not very outgoing. Hope that I was not expecting too much from a little eatery. Now on to the tacos. There were hits and misses. The Crispy Avocado Taco was very good! It's my first time tasting fried avocado, crispy and flavorful! I would order that again! However, the lamb in the Lamb Carnitas Taco was bland and rather dry. it's the first time that I ever had lamb that had no flavor. Although the mango slaw had a nice crunch, tart and refreshing, and went well with the lamb meat, it was skimpy and not enough to top all the meat. I joked to my husband that maybe that's the taste of munching on cardboard! I don't like to waste food and I wasn't full, but I could not continue eating, and had to waste half of the lamb taco. Husband thought that his Blackened Salmon Taco was OK, but his Steak Taco was not, since every bite of steak had gristle. He was surprised since that was supposed to be their signature taco. Daughter's 2 Fish tacos were good, except that she didn't like the flour taco shells. She prefers corn taco shells. My lamb taco had corn taco shells (2 layers) and the crispy avocado had flour shells. I love supporting local businesses and really planned to give Eataco 5 stars before we came, but had to deduct 1 star after we dined in. However, when I read more reviews afterward and found that many customers enjoyed the 2 bottles of salsa (1 green and 1 red) that came with the tacos, and we had no condiments of any kind on our table. Should I had a bottle of salsa, the Lamb Carnitas would have been edible. Unfortunately, I had to deduct another star. Our overall experience at Eataco was not bad, it took us only 55 minutes for the meal. It fits the bill when you need something quick and simple.

I came here and ordered a bunch of food to try: Elotes -- street-style corn. The corn was kind of over-cooked as it was more mushy than crunchy Chips and guacamole -- plenty of guacamole. Seasoned well and the perfect crunchy to smooth ratio. Chips could have been more, which usually its the opposite; there's more chips than guacamole, but not in this case. Chips needed some salt. Chicken fajitas -- came out sizzling, as fajitas should be. The order came with ample amount of tortillas and overall, was great. Chicken cooked well, veggies were seasoned well. Fish and shrimp taco (seafood combo) -- I liked the shrimp taco over the fish. The fish was grilled Cheetos Burrito -- somewhat gimmicky, but it was your ordinary burrito, with some flaming hot Cheetos in it. The burrito came with shredded lettuce, refried beans, ground beef. Decent sized burrito, but not the football-size burritos that you may find in other places Dining area was decent-sized. It consisted of tables and chairs, as well as a couple of booths. Hot sauce in the self-served fridge if you like it spicy.

Their prices are very reasonable, and the food is consistently good, as is the service. I generally go with my elderly mother who lives not too far from the Grill. She usually orders something simple. I try to select different things on the menu when I'm there, but if I get anything more regularly, it would be their taco dinner. But I've had breakfasts and various lunches there. We've never been there for dinner. If you have not tried the Greenwood Grill, give it a try!

The food was tasty and well seasoned, especially the tacos and grilled items. Everything came out fresh, and the portions were filling without being too heavy. The restaurant has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that works well for both quick meals and sit-down dining. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed down a bit when it got busy. Overall, Los Azares Mexican Grill is a solid spot for good Mexican food at a fair price. With slightly faster service during peak hours, it would easily be a favorite.
