The food is always Hot, Fresh, and Delicious! This is my wife's favorite Mexican restaurant in Round Lake. The service is always fast and friendly. I miss eating inside because of Covid, but the curbside pickup is great. Friendly waitress comes and brings the food to your vehicle! If you come here often enough, they know you and your regular order. I hope they keep the patio dining when summer comes back. I'm a fatty, so take my advice, order a pork (carnitas or al pastor) chimichanga and get cheese melted over the top. It's going to be huge and delicious! read more

First time here and I really enjoyed the chicken tacos that I ordered. I called ahead just in case they were busy to order three chicken tacos to go. I'm glad I did because the place was really busy during dinner time. The chicken tacos were phenomenal. I really enjoyed them and remind me of a lot of the food you would get in little village in Chicago. I will be back to try a few more items. read more

I love how the shrimp are prepared for the enchiladas, they remind me of hibachi shrimp put into enchilada form. The chips and salsa are fresh. The margarita strong. Perfect combo. Go for the food because the ambiance is just so so. Service is friendly and there's always a table available. read more

Tacos El Norte - Shrimp enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Round Lake Beach, Illinois

The service from two young female women was nothing more than harassment. I arrive this past Friday to wait on a takeout order. These two females behind the counter stared at me for five minutes at the same time (Nowhere near the cash register). They said with smile & giggling about something about their family and prostitution. Now I didn't need to hear that and the management I'm sure must have cameras. Why would you have someone working for you that's disrespecting to your business? You have delicious food. The gentlemen working for you handle themselves in a professional manner. You do have a painted picture that appears to be the Virgin Mary without facial features. Why would you have women working for you behaving that way at your restaurant? read more

Food can be good but very inconsistent. If you wanna guarantee a good mexican meal, I recommend you keep looking to save yourself a good chance on wasted money. read more

I can't believe I haven't done a review for this place since I've been coming here for a long time. Food is pretty good. I love their sweet corn tamales. The menudo is awesome after a night out partying and drinking. Service is great, the restaurant is decorated in a typical Mexican restaurant. Ordered the Asada Burrito Suizo and Caldo de Res last night. The Caldo de Res was disappointing this time though because it lacked flavor, it tasted like a watered down soup hence the 3 stars review but other wise the other stuffs I ordered were pretty good. Definitely check them out when you're in the area. read more

Tacos El Norte - Asada Burrito Suizo - Mexican Near Me - Round Lake Beach, Illinois

This Is a chain here in northern Illinois. This particular location I found to be the most authentic for traditional Mexican food. Tonight I ordered a burrito Suizo with Verde sauce, beans, and rice. My wife had soft tortilla Mexican style steak tacos with beans and rice as well. We laughed very satisfied with the quality of the plates that were served but the service was good as well. Although it's further away than some of the other two locations for me I'm willing to make the extra drive. read more

Inconsistent serving practices also their picture show no peas in their rice however they have peas in their rice people with allergies this is highly deadly. When they put this stuff in your burrito you have no idea what you're biting until until you do. Whoever the person is who does the menu needs to be more clear on what ingredients are there especially vegetables or anything that could called allergens read more

The service is quick. They have some humorous posts around the tables. It's funny to read. The food is decent and reasonable. Servers are nice. read more

Simple, straightforward Mexican food that's consistently good. Burritos, tacos, sopes, full plates, soup, they've got it all. Service is friendly and quick. Lately I like the torpedo burrito- the combo of steak, cheese, eggs, grilled onion and rice is super tasty. Horchata and aguas are always yummy. No more chips and salsa though read more

This place was excellent; fast service, great food! We were greeted immediately by the waitress, and then again as each member of our group joined us; our drinks arrived quickly. I had a margarita and could definitely taste the booze! Chips and salsa was good, I also ordered guacamole to have w my burrito and couldn't eat it fast enough!! So tasty. Had the super burrito, ground beef and refried beans w lettuce and tomato, and lLOVED it. The portions are very generous--my burrito was big enough that I took half home for my husband's dinner! Definitely want to come back again SOON! Craving another margarita and burrito! read more

Just popped in here for dinner as it was a good halfway point between my friend and me, and I saw that there were vegan options available. Menu seemed pretty extensive, but I was a little shocked to learn that their beans and rice aren't vegetarian, yet there is a VEGETARIAN burrito on the menu that has both beans and rice - isn't that false advertising? Either way, no big deal, why I always check, and I was just fine with my three avocado tacos and side of guacamole (extra $1.50, but seemed pretty fresh), and glass of wine - all totaled to be just a little over $13 with tax. Not bad if you ask me. Giving this place four stars because the service was incredibly slow (waited 30 minutes after asking the three waitresses on the floor for a third avocado taco), and then it took another 20 minutes to get our checks. No one really seemed to care how our food was, as no one ever checked in. We had one waitress come up and try to take our red and green sauces away as I waited for my last taco without even asking if were were done yet - was pretty interesting, and the restaurant seems a little run down ... but that could easily be from being understaffed. All in all, the food is cheap, and I didn't have to dine only on chips and salsa. Can't go wrong when you're feeding me avocado anything. read more

Whenever we mention going out to eat and say; Tacos el Norte, everyone in unison screams YES!! The best service around! Their staff goes above and beyond! We love eating here a few times a week for lunch! Their tacos are the best around!! Everything we have ever eaten off their menu is delicious to the last bite. Our number one go to when I don't cook. read more

I've been coming to Tacos El Norte for years, and it never disappoints. They provide a lively, family-friendly atmosphere, with good food, solid service, and reasonable prices. What more could you want. When you are seated they bring complimentary chips and salsa. A nice touch. I've had pretty much everything on the menu, and I've never had a bad meal. Lately, I've been hooked on the Tacos Al Pastor - some of the best you'll find anywhere! One of these times, I hope to save room for the deep fried ice-cream. If you're looking for good Mexican food - give Tacos El Norte a try. I think you will enjoy it. read more

We got amazing vegetarian burritos from here last week. Green sauce was great and my bf enjoyed the red as well!!!

Not bad for Lake County. Comparing to places out in the city. Waitress was great. Food was good.

Decent tacos, good dishes, even seafood o Is pretty good, most of all good good at fair prices. Service is usually good. The atmosphere is what you'd expect no complaints read more

I ordered take out, so I'll keep this one short. Solid price, solid food. I had chorizo and pollo tacos, as well as a tamale. I'd skip the tamale next time, the flavor was good but it just didn't seem fresh, the texture was off a bit. The tacos are tasty, and at 2.50 a piece very affordable for what your getting. I'll say the chorizo could have had a bit more heat, but that's a personal taste issue and nothing a small dab of hot sauce wont remedy. A small dab is all you need too, the hot sauce really packs a punch. The food was ready in about 5-10 minutes and the staff was friendly. Everything was individually wrapped which kept the mess to a minimum. I'll definitely come back and try some other items. If you've only got a few bucks, stop here for some tacos and get a much better meal than at the other local cheap spots. read more

I've been coming here for years to the Round Lake Tacos El Norte. It's by far the best one in the chain, that I've been to. The food is great for the price you pay. The Ribeye Tacos that I order a lot are outstanding. So many good things to eat on their menu. read more

Just ok... charging for chips now, $2.50, and they were pretty hard/stale. Food was just ok-ish... marg was good. Burrito was $12 and didn't come with beans and rice, was bland, no sauce or cheese, thats was extra too. I just wouldn't prb go back I suppose.... read more

Like some have already mentioned, this is the most authentic of the many Tacos El Norte locations in Lake County. There's one in Gurnee that seems to cater their taste to the boring gringo taste buds, but this one is fantastic! We've been dining there and doing take outs from them for years and they have not disappointed us one bit...not even during the lock down when we had to drive by for pick ups. Highly recommend! read more

This location over charges their customers! There's a fee for chips! Charge $4.25 extra for grilled chicken in their enchiladas! read more

I've been here a more than a few time. If you looking for hip and trendy this place isn't for you. If you're looking for really good food that's really good and more than reasonably priced this is you place. I have never left here hungry, and if you had ever seen me chow down that's saying something. The restaurant is clean. The staff if friendly and efficient, great service, attentive without being annoying. You never feel rushed and can enjoy a pleasant lunch or dinner read more
