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.

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. Good service Limited menu but seems like what is offered is excellent!

Rice was light and fluffy, and the beans were nicely topped with Mexican cheese. The steak burrito was freshly grilled and chopped up. Very nicely done. My compadre ordered a burrito and literally inhaled it! He seems to have approved as he was finished eating in 45 seconds. This is a great place to visit when on The Chain. I'll be back!

The brisket was better than the pork. The only thing I wished was that I wanted it to be more smoky. The barbecue pork was decent, but I would definitely want to try the ribs during the weekend. He was very nice and very accommodating and added in some sweet pickled jalapeños, which were phenomenal. The brisket sandwich was definitely a good hit. Had the coleslaw and mac & cheese...and that was not bad at all!Had a little bit more mayo than expected with a tad of vinegar, which was OK. Overall, it was a very good lunch/dinner. (by the way, I liked the Kansas City better than the Texas but Texas sauce was also very good! They make their own homemade sauce by the way ) Nick was a great conversational piece and they are going to be starting with a food truck pretty soon which is gonna be pretty neat. He does take a lot of pride in his work, and it shows! So I guess keep an eye open for that. Nice job, Nick. I'll give you the next star an update this review once I have your ribs. Is that a Deal? (because I'm a big-time rib guy.) Thanks again Nick!
