    a plate of food
    Bob Z.

    We've been coming here for years but haven't been here for a few months. Decided to have our go to meal here. A steak burrito and the Red Snapper dinner. The snapper was so over cooked it was mainly inedible. Literally was so hard and dry I couldn't cut it. The burrito was also over cooked. We were one of two tables and we waited 40 minutes for food that was really bad. It's unfortunate that they have gone so far down from their five-star days.

    Went to try this place out for lunch and glad I did. Found another place that serves mole and this is pretty good as well. Had Laura as our server and she was awesome, friendly and fast. Ordered more stuffs to go for dinner since just wanna stay in tonight and rest. The place has typical Mexican restaurant decorations and the place was a bit on the darker or dimmer side. Their lengua tacos were good as well as their birreria tacos. I also tried their flan, though I was not a fan of to be honest, everyone has their own preference on how they like their flan but can't say I didn't try. I'll have to come again and try their Caldo de res and compare it with the way other restaurants make it. Over all it was a pleasant experience. I just wish the owner was more acknowledging to her customers and say hi, ask how was everything and smile but she didn't seem approachable and didn't give any acknowledgment even we are right in front of the register and she was behind the cashier checking us out. My reviews are about my overall entire experience from my entrance to the business and to my exit of the business experience. As I always mention on my previous reviews of other businesses, hospitality, friendliness, attentiveness and cleanliness is just as important as serving good foods. Almost a 5 star but the ending was kinda a downer. Was gonna rate 3 stars but that wouldn't be fair to the good service our waitress Laura has given us.

    Location is friendly and clean, and food is sold at a great price! If you're thinking of ordering Mexican food on a budget while supporting a local business this is the place.

    Ordered to go from this place a while back. The customer service was great, the lady over the phone was so friendly and kind. The food was just alright. We got there right when we were told to pick it up. By the time we got home (not very far) it was room tempish and soggy. I might recommend if you could eat at the restaurant, but not the best Togo. I'll have to go back and try again at the restaurant! I loved the guacamole that was on the side of my quesadillas, be sure to try that. The prices were good so that's a plus

    Overcharge. 1/2 a bag. Very dissatisfied.

    Overcharged us and underfed us. Pathetic to give so little chips. Comparable to a chipotle side. Also didn't provide salsa after requesting

    Good food. Friendly service. Never disappointed. We eat here when we want good food fast. The enchiladas are great ever time. Steak burrito is a winner. I would recommend if you're in the area.

    Great food and great service…read more We've been here several times and they always nail it. This time we had a Beef Burrito, Tongue taco and a taco salad. Everything came out quickly and hot. Flavor is really good. Tacos have lots of meat and perfect. Highly recommended.

    On Saturday, 13 December I lunched at Taqueria Cinco Hermanos in Grayslake with clients; we arrived…read moreabout 1pm. We were invited to seat ourselves and did so; we were attended almost immediately by a friendly, personable waitress who took our drink orders. Our drinks arrived very quickly as well as a plate of tortilla crisps and a small bowl of salsa; the salsa was excellent, with a good, home-made flavour and a terrific 'kick' to it (but not too hot). I enjoyed it very much, and told the waitress this as well. Due to the cold weather, I ordered a hot coffee, which arrived in a very beautifully decorated mug; it arrived very quickly as well. The waitress commented on the mug and, again, was very friendly and personable. Our orders arrived VERY quickly, in less than five minutes; I ordered the steak tacos and they were DELICIOUS. Full of flavour and served with cilantro, onion, lettuce, and tomato (and not too much of this) and on soft flour tortillas. I ordered three; I should have ordered more! The tacos were served with several different salsas, including a habanero which was wonderful and a salsa verde which was not as spicy but still had a great flavour/kick to it. . (small comment: I am partial to hot, spicy food so I really liked this) . We had two (2) different waitresses; both stopped by the table several times to ask how our meal was and if we wanted anything else. The waitresses kept my water glass filled, and with plenty of ice! The restaurant is clean and simply designed; the food was excellent and I will certainly come back again!

    I've been wanting to stop in here ever since it was first converted from the old Subway, but didn't…read morehave the chance until today. The restaurant is pretty small, but they packed a lot of seating into this old Subway. The booths can easily fit a group of 6, while the tables can be pushed together to seat more. There are also 3 tables outside as well. Plenty of vegetarian options, which is a huge bonus, and they have Beyond beef for those that enjoy mock meats. I had dinner here with two of my friends, and we all enjoyed our meals! We shared these yummy little horchata balls, and I had a vegetarian burrito (solid size!). I also had two, don't judge haha, classic margaritas. I wouldn't typically order a classic margarita, as I don't do overly sweet or syrupy drinks, but these were really light and yummy!! The Ay Cabron! hot sauce was SO good with my burrito, and had a nice tingle while still providing flavor. My bill came out to $36 for the three things I ordered, which is pretty decent considering how expensive dining out can be. Can't wait to dine in again to try the Chile Relleno! YUMMY!
