Tried Los Comales for Taco Tuesday. Tacos are $2 on Tuesdays. I ordered four steak tacos--average in size for street tacos but generously loaded. The corn tortillas were a bit greasy, which I wasn't a fan of, but the tacos were still flavorful. I did come across a few fatty pieces, but not many. The verde sauce was good, and the drive-thru is super convenient! read more

OK food was kind of bla. Tacos not the best. The good thing was the service was good and the price was good.

Love their marinated chicken tacos but they are very small, more of a street taco. Also had the steak tacos, with a side of beans/rice and those were great as well. We go there at least once a week and are trying different items so I'll update my review when we do. Hope this helps. read more

July 2025 This was the second time I went to this restaurant. I went inside to order. Because last time there was order problems. The older female Hispanic took my order. She had an attitude. She was more worried about her cell phone at the time. My order was correct. The burrito was good. The only problem was trying to communicate with the music so LOUD! read more

COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED!!! My original bill which is on the right came out to $32, when I went up there to pay we gave our server a $15 tip, they were great the best part! But the lady charging us rang up the food to $34 I didn't pay much since u thought ok maybe up charge since I'm using my card it's whatever. But when she scanned my card it went up to $37? Huh. How could it was gone up by $5? I thought she included the tip since she asked us if we wanted to add a tip, I said no since we already gave them a tip. I went to ask her why it went up $5 she said for the upcharge of using a card. What place goes up 5 goddamn dollars for using a credit card?!? THIS IS A SCAMM. And it wasn't even tip either bc on the bottom is says recommendations for tip. the lady who checked us out I think is the owner so it really shows how this establishment is. Never will come again. read more

Los Comales Round Lake - Mexican Near Me - Round Lake Beach, Illinois

There are so many Mexican Restaurants to choose from in the area. Most close around 9pm and this one appeared to be open, many cars parked 30 mins prior to close so we thought lets give them a try. Glad we did! Many standard options but what I appreciated about this place is that they were to cater to my wife who is a vegetarian. They made sure to ask the correct questions and make her enchilada dinner to her liking (A+). I had the chicken burrito dinner. I finished mine as it was made perfectly. I also tried a bit from my wife's plate. Come on, is there not a husband who does not want some of their wife's food!!! Prices are very reasonable, food is tasty and service is good to make you want to return. Monday and Wednesday $6 for Margarita and $5 for Michelada. Thinking about going here again on these days to try their drinks. read more

Ordered here a few time and it was decent but got progressively worse. Last time I ordered (taco meal) could not even finish due to very poor quality. Last time I dined in I felt unwelcome and stared at. There's other restaurants that serve much better food and are welcoming and friendly. read more

Buddy and I ordered from here last night chowed down and we both woke up in the morning super sick from the food non stop puking and number 2 if that's tmi don't really care all I'm saying is don't eat here you're gonna get food poisoning read more

Steak tastes like horse meat... very blah food they dont take accountability of the food read more

They have definitely changed the culture food always good they haven't gotten anything wrong and I understand if a mistake happens never that big of a deal. People are always nice and I recommend to stop by ! read more

Been here several times but never got a chance to make a review. I definitely recommend their tacos. Why have Taco Bell right next door when you can have the legit kind? Service is okay, a bit slow and can get pricey but it's good tacos. I don't recommend their rice as it's very salty. Ordered a side of avocado after seeing the pics on yelp posted and I got like very small amount so not worth getting it in my opinion. The Horchata I got tasted watered down even with little ice on it. I get it why many have negative reviews and prefer the Waukegan location. They also have drive through for your fast food experience. read more

My order is usually wrong, they charge me for an item but don't give it to me, and my mom also got horrible food poisoning. I don't recommend. read more

Service was good but food was not great. The salsa was really good. We went for breakfast and it was just ok. The coffee had a Mexican spice I think. read more

Tonight my food wasn't correct! Not only was it overcooked but it was thrown together ! It was very busy but that should not affect the food quality. Tried to call a manager so they could remake it but no ever answered the phone . They don't even deserve one st read more

Tacos were this place is the best I'm obsessed with their shrimp chimichangas and flan. My husband loves their tacos. I've tried their enchiladas. They were amazing. Actually everything we've ever eaten. There has been phenomenal. Highly recommend great service super fast. The restaurant inside is very clean. Staff is amazing. read more

Ordered through door dash two items. Got suspicious when the order was picked up less that 5 minutes after confirming the order, like really Flash, is that you? Special instructions were placed but, guess what, were not followed, shocker. When dinner arrived, packaging was very poor. The most interesting events started happening when I opened taco dinner...and oh boy, what a surprise, it wasn't steak taco dinner it was FAT taco dinner. Okay, I guess I'll do chefs job and pick through meat and take out fat. Mexican style? How about, NO style?! Test try next. Did they ran out of salt and pepper? How about authentic Mexican seasoning? Tasted like a boiled meat of the bone that you will use in a soup for your dinner. In conclusion, very disgusting dinner, never again! read more

There are many taquerias in the area, and this is by far my favorite. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I usually visit for lunch and get the taco dinner. So many great things to say about this place but I'll give you a few must highlights: 1. Salsa - clearly in house made and packs a perfect flavor and heat 2. Margaritas - best I've had in the area (not too sweet) 3. Fish - on a taco, or stand-alone. I loved breaded most 4. Service - friendly, helpful, and quick 5. Enchiladas - yum, nuff said Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Los Comales catered a corporate event we attended on Saturday, August 3. The 3 guys , Eddy, Oscar and Diego did a great job making the tacos (beef, chicken and pork). They also had refried beans, beef and chicken fajitas and chips and salsa. I would definitely recommend trying this local business. read more

The food taste like cheap fast food Mexican restaurant I wouldn't ever choose this as my first option , the horchata is legit powder and doesn't taste like real horchata every time my family gets from here I get disappointed the tacos taste cheap and the salsa tastes like water with barley and peppers , since this restaurant is so big they changed to cheap products and the drive through makes it more cheap it's like a McDonald vs homemade burgers there the McDonalds . The workers are nice though read more

So my son Ethan took me to lunch . Such a good kid. Food was really good. Excellent burrito really good drinks . Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus Tea) Agua Fresca de Pepino (Cucumber Limeade) read more

The food is cheap and there is plenty of good Mexican restaurants around the area wouldn't waste my money on this place , every time I get the tacos from here I get sick ! read more

This placed used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant but lately the service has been rude with the waitress rolling her eyes and the other one started sweeping off chairs right next to the table we were eating at. Very unwelcoming. The food quality seems to have declined as well. The chicken in my taco salad was greasy and just not as fresh as it used to be. We decided we probably won't be back. Plenty of other Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Oh man. So good. Everything I have ever eaten at Los Comales has been delicious, fresh and authentic. The the food is consistently delicious at any location I've tried. Go! read more

There's no doubt that the food is the tastiest and most authentic around town but the downside is anytime we order take out, 8 out of 10 times something is missing. Whether is toppings on tacos, a complete order of rice, beans, a missing taco, no salsa, cebollitas, its ALWAYS something missing... The cashiers are usually always very unfriendly and rude. 3ye rolling, attitude and over all just not customer service material. They used to be extremely good years ago but they've really gone downhill.... read more

Tried this place roughly six months ago, food was good. Went a month or so after that, food was so so. Went tonight for a third and final time, hoping it would be like our first experience and wow was it BAD! We sat ourselves and got served some over fried chips and watery salsa. After being walked by multiple times we finally had our order taken. My fiancé got the steak taco dinner and I got the marinated chicken burrito dinner. His was barely edible and mine was slightly better... if that! The steak was dry, fatty, and he said the meat had a burnt flavor. My burrito had hard chunks of avocado in it and some random dark burnt thing... we both love hot sauces, too bad neither of them were edible... just a gross smoky burnt flavor. Rice was over cooked and beans also seemed burnt. My fiancé didn't even finish his food and I picked through my burrito. At one point I contemplated getting a take out box because I felt bad for my fiancé and just wanted to get out of there without offending anyone... but was never checked on or asked how our food was after being served. We paid our bill without a tip and got out of dodge. We will stick with our usual Mexican spot and would definitely not recommend this place to anyone! The old location was way better, but I get it things change. Seems we're not the only ones that feel this way about this place! Hopefully management and or the owners can figure out a game plan to change things for the better! read more

The employees were friendly. The food was the worst I've ever had. Inedible. Los Comales in Waukegan used to be my favorite, but I will never eat at the Round Lake location again. read more

Terrible. TERRIBLE! The owner, some nasty old lady, wanted to charge extra for my beans and rice to be on the side, which is fine!... but they didn't even give me beans or rice!! Plus that woman was rude as hell.... How do you make such a big deal about me wanting things on the side but then not give me what I asked for?? I'm not one to leave bad reviews because of mistakes... but based on this lady's attitude, she probably knew. What a shame to such a nice place with wonderful workers (BESIDES HER). Didn't want to fix the issue. Burrito was soggy and falling apart as well. Just a terrible experience with her in there. They do MUCH better when she isn't there!! Just be careful when you go here! read more

Before the Pandemic and shelter in place orders.... This was one of my favorite Taqueria's in the area, hands down! So it pains me to give this review of their performance the last three visits, the latest being last night. I get my usual three steak Tacos. Steak is always hot, full of flavor, some slight crust on the outer edges from the grill and seemingly homemade Tortilla's? I have no idea what's happening lately, taste like they changed the meat, doesn't even taste like real meat anymore very dry and chewey and the Tortilla's are definatley not the same. I hope you can go back to your old way of doing things? Please let me know so we can return. read more

Amazing! Get here and enjoy this little gem. You will walk in an know by the feel, smalls and families that this is where you want to be. I think I've tried all of the tacos and never been disappointed. read more

best margaritas around! not to mention, the steak tacos are fire too. all around a delicious meal and the service is always a 10/10. i love this place read more

This is my favorite of all the locations. Rice is tasty and the right texture, beans are good with a little smokiness. Asada and lengua are seasoned well, and the barbacoa is amazing. You can even get the barbacoa in flauta form, which my husband loves. It's awesome in a burrito too. Horchata is good, doesn't taste like it came from a mix. The only area of improvement is that when I ask for ingredients to be omitted when we call for pick up (I'm not a fan of hot soggy lettuce in my burrito) they usually forget and keep it in. Doesn't bug me enough to keep me from going back frequently. read more

Outstanding fresh Mexican food! Ordered delivery and loved everything. Steak tacos, chorizo tacos and pork & onion enchiladas were all perfect! A little odd to order cheese and sour cream as sides, also everything but meat is served separate fron the tacos, but it worked well as the cold ingredients were still cold and the hot was still hot. Reminds me of the old McDLT of you are old enough to know what that was! Can't wait to order again. read more

I am a huge fan of Mexican food and this local place had the most authentic food I've had in a while. The place is exactly as you'd expect a smaller Mexican restaurant to be: Good customer service, clean, smells great, and incredible food. We only had a short time to eat but tried one of each of the tacos. We probably waited 2 minutes before a beautiful platter of smaller tacos hit our table. We didn't even know where to start but the variety will suit everyone's taste buds! Our favorites included Pork with onions, Seasoned steak, Marinated chicken, Chorizo, and Al Pastor. They were perfect sized but packed full of flavor. I love a Mexican restaurant that serves chips and authentic salsa at each table as well as the pickled Jalapeno, carrots, and veggies. Our server was extremely helpful and explained the choices to us with great patience. read more

Idk what happened. I used to tell everyone that this was the best taqueria in the area. The last 3-5 orders the quality of the food plummeted. On multiple occasions I got rotten salsa which is disgusting and sucks cuz i liked their salsa. We had some items missing. The overall quality has just become not worth it. We are looking for our new favorite Mexican joint read more

This restaurant recently moved to a new location just down the street. I decided to check out the new location and see if one of my favorite taco places was still just as good as always. I was very surprised to see that they have a drive-thru at the new location. The service was very quick utilizing the drive-thru. My order was ready very quickly after I placed the order at the drive thru. I am pleased to say that the food was still just as good as it was at the old location. Everything was fresh, delicious and the portions are still very generous. I can't wait to dine inside the new building with friends and family. And I definitely will be continuing to use the drive-thru for takeout orders as it was very convenient and fast. read more
