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.

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.

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.

I'm a big fan of tortas, especially Milanesa de Pollo tortas. Man! This torta was delicious and mainly because it was flavorful. That's where most places fall short and to make up for it they load it with beans, cheese, sour cream. This did not need all of that, the chicken was seasoned well and overall the torta was great, rice and beans were cooked - like the homemade kind! I'll definitely be back! Well done Cinco Hermanos!
