I came for lunch with my daughter, it was mid afternoon. I saw a man behind the counter who came…read moreout to greet us, and I asked him,"Are you Julio?" he said yes, so I told him about his good reviews on Yelp. 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.

Drive past this place all the time, been meaning to try it out; so glad I stopped in for lunch…read moretoday. 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.

The corn ribs were in a chipotle mayo sauce but the corn itself was limey and has food texture. The flautas, ramen, and tacos were super flavorful - the birria is smoky and rich. The birria bomb was a surprise - basically a giant arrancini full of rice, cheese, and birria that went really well with the consome. Definitely coming back.

My wife had carne asada soft shell tacos and I had the burrito dinner with carne asada and churriso. It was presented like a hand held burrito with a pan fry finish for a crust on the tortilla. We both had rice and beans. Both were good. The beans were a combo for refried and pinto and the rice had great flavor with a lot of lime and was hot and fluffy.

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!
