First time trying this spot in the plaza next to the new lava island that's opening. Easy parking for pick up. The Tacos are a little pricey but they are filling and made just right. Same with the Torta and Tilapia taco. They all come with different toppings other than your regular cilantro and onion which makes it worth the price. They have different salsas with different heat levels for your liking. Everyone there was friendly and checking up on us often.Didn't have to wait long to be seated and to get drinks. Nice chill fiesta vibe inside. Will be coming back! read more

Good food just very expensive. What going on with the cost of eating out. Could have bought a week's worth of groceries for the price of one meal. Over priced eats. read more

The food is always delicious. The drinks are amazing especially the spicy tamarind margarita. The decor is fun! The chef is super nice, but the service team needs major work. Rude servers, don't know the menu (didn't even know if a dish had nuts and could not understand the sensitivity), and not welcoming at all. read more

Not authentic Mexican food whatsoever...if you're looking for authentic don't come here. The food itself was not very flavorful, it felt like they used about a third of the seasoning they should have used and everything was quite bland. I went with my family and between us all we got a burrito bowl, a variety of tacos and the fajita steak burrito. None of us were big on our meals. The service was also rough and weird... the waiter kept pressuring us to put in an order even though we didn't know what we wanted to eat and the place was literally empty. It was VERY odd and awkward. the food was pretty expensive too, especially for being so mediocre. I will not be back... read more

I had the tamales verdes. It was two pork homemade tamales in the corn husks! Creative display for serving. Place was busy. The sangria and Paloma were very weak on the liquor. We did say something and they immediately took care of it. read more

5 Stars -- Mole Sauce Was Fire This was hands down the best mole I've ever had. I got the fried steak burrito with mole sauce--SO bomb. The flavor hit different--rich, bold, and unforgettable. Super fresh ingredients and the salsa? Straight-up authentic. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed Tacos Guanajuato. Guacamole was favorable, the fajitas were hot, and the salsas were tangy. I left here singing Despacito :) read more

We were in Round Lake on vacation and my mom kept saying she hasn't been able to get a good taste of Mexican food in this area. We happened to pass by tacos Guanajuato and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. read more

I am from California, so my Mexican food taste is bias...but this was a game changer! Thiis restaurant is unassuming outside. It looks like fast food. Then you get in, and the vibe is still kinda fast food like....however this food and drink like that of Javiers in Orange county, CA or Antigua in crystal lake. I wish the atmosphere were a little more warm. It's not $18 entree ready. it's like $15 or less. The only bug I have. Everything including service was prime. Wow wow wow. delicious! Marg's are on point, food is insNly good and service was spot on!! read more

Next time I'll dine in cause your food is unique for our area. So many authentic flavors, the mole was quite tasty. I will definitely return. read more

They make the very best tasting chicken or beef Tacos in the area. The service is great and a fun place to enjoy a nice meal with friends.

A good but pricey place for tacos and other south of the border favorites. It has small portions of everything unfortunately and your bucks won't go very far here. Tacos Guanajuato specializes in tacos of course, with many authentic or more common fillings you don't always see in tacos. Pretty small tacos that are one bite and done. You have to order a few, and then those cheap prices add up. I have checked this place out a couple times and tried some of the margaritas and tacos here, which are pretty much the main things you can get. It has a big list of margaritas. There's a ton. It's $12 for the House Margarita. This is the basic kind with lime and garnished with a dried out lime slice. It's the cheapest one and still expensive. This thing also is tiny. It comes in a small glass. Speaking of small, the small tacos. All of these are bite size, as in a bite. It's $4 for the Vegetarian Taco, and more for the ones that have meat. This one has avocado, pico de gallo, queso fresco, and red bell peppers. It falls apart pretty easily. They also go light on toppings so it's even less of a meal. Good tasting but pretty overpriced drinks and food. It won't even give out free chips and salsa like any normal Mexican restaurant. The bar is a nice place for watching games on TV eating your overpriced tacos and stuff. read more

This place overcharged me both times I went there. I ordered for pickup and put no tip, my credit card shows a $10 increase which I'm assuming the cashier did. Shameful business practices. The burritos cost $20 each and they tacked on an unauthorized tip of $10. Be careful of there scams. read more

I went today for the first time ever! And it was so yum! My dad complained a little saying it was not gonna be authentic and yada yada yada , I said you can't knock it ... he was just upset we didn't go to first watch (eyeroll insert) I said you have been ! Let's try something new! I loved that it was 10:30am and I got the tequila menu handed to me first HA! That was awesome , normally I don't care what time I drink, but I didn't have any... we still had errands so I settled for water and also some Jarritos! So I looked at the menu and ordered some nachos! Steak nachos! My mom had Barbacoa and Al pastor tacos , my dad had a torta Cubana , my daughter had 2 Al pastor tacos and let me tell you.... I'm Mexican and these were all amazing ! Okayyy we love tacos and tequila ! I mean I have the shirt to prove it! Sooooo I know what I'm talking about lol! The food was authentic and delicious ! So flavorful and only 29 mins from me so I will be back to try the tequila ! Lots of parking , cute decor!

I haven't been here for about two years because I thought the prices were high. We decided to give them another try on Cinco de Mayo. I still totally believe the prices are way too high for the food we ordered. In addition to that, they added a $2.50 "convenience charge". What for? I left a good tip considering we ordered takeout. I'm very frustrated with tips being thrown at us for everything, but at least I have a say in that, but a convenience charge for pickup is a deal breaker for me. Won't be back. read more

Service was good food was ok not bad but not really good either the burrito was a little on the small size it really needed more steak and the tacos were ok didn't hate it but didn't really like it either read more

I ordered 3- $5 vegetarian tacos and asked for avocado. They charged me $3 for each taco getting one (maybe) 1/8" wide slice of avocado. so a $15 order became a $24 order. They probably used 1/10 of an avocado . I'll be trying the new place down the street. Sad because I used to pick up here regularly . read more

Cute place for tacos if you want to meet with friends and chit chat. Food is good but not excellent. Menu items are a bit overpriced unless you get items from the special menu. Need tacos were a bit on the salty side, churros were too crispy. Tamarind margarita was fantastic. When they want to close the restaurant they start flipping chairs upside down despite customers still sitting at the bar/restaurant..very uncomfortable and makes you want to leave...piece of advice for manager/owner...do not chase away your customers. read more

Festive decor, yet rather empty on a Friday evening. The first thing I saw entering the restaurant was a sign saying that they don't accept $100 bills. Kildeer is a fairly affluent suburb, not sure what that message really meant. Service was slow. Plates sat on the table, no offer to refill a water glass, barely an acknowledgement that we were in the place. Food was fair. Fresh guac wasn't really fresh, chips and salsa were fine, burrito and margarita were passable. I would also take a pass coming back. read more

GREEN POZOLE BACK FOR THE SEASON!!' Just as good as I remembered it. New blue corn tortillas are soft and delicious. Ordered taco meal and look at the plentiful amount of steak. It's amazing and I'm impressed!! Nachos with ground beef and holy crap... freaking delicious and HUGE as always! Also the mild green salsa and the red Smokey one... so flavorful!!! So good! read more

This is based on a carryout order on 10/23. Ordered online and it does make you sign up for an account but that takes 1 to 2 minutes, and for a first timer they give 10% off the bill. It also gave an estimated pick up time and my food was ready right at that time. I got the veggie taco, the sweet potato taco and the grilled veggie burrito. Favorite one was the sweet potato as that is not a taco variation I've had before. My wife's favorite that she ordered was the lamb taco which she described (in a positive way) as a Mexican gyro. The inside of the restaurant looked very clean, all staff had masks that I saw. We will be coming back for sure. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem! We found this place by accident as it was late and needed some dinner. Picked it over others locally because of yelp reviews. SO GLAD we did! Specials menu offered interesting things we had not had & got two dinners, ordered chips and salsa and drinks. I tried the spicy cactus margarita & my wife had a paloma. Wow! Excellent!!! Very friendly people working there, very cute space & offers out door dining if wanted. They have a ton of tequila offerings and Mescal. I will offer a suggestion to the bartender, excellent drinks and variety. One idea to consider: the sours mix is right at the edge, maybe step it back for drinks that use a tart factor. We liked the service, food and drinks so much we came back the next week. Favorites so far: blackened tilapia tacos ( the slaw, chipotle mayo!! Oh my!) the crispy calamari tacos ! On the follow up were told the specials menu changes frequently. Cant wait! read more

Food and drink quality is amazing! Known for their Mexican street, Tacos Guanajuato did not disappoint. They have a variety of different tacos and a couple of different Mexican dishes on their menu, and they all come with freshly made tortillas! Taco prices range from $4-$5 each but they are well seasoned and well proportioned. I also tried their drink special, the Dragon Fruit margarita which was delicious and refreshing! We visited on a warm Saturday afternoon and it we didn't have to wait to be seated, however I do wish the staff was more welcoming as we walked in and left the restaurant! Overall, I can't wait to go back and try a different taco and drink! read more

I've been a fan of Tacos Guanajuato (aka Tacos G) in Kildeer since it first opened a few years ago. The decor is bright & cheerful, staff are always helpful and friendly, and the food is delicious. I typically will get an Al Pastor taco at any new place I try as that's sort of my benchmark, and because it typically packs more flavor than some other typical offerings at Mexican & taco places. The Al Pastor taco at Tacos G is one of the best around, with an incredibly savory sauce and of course including the signature grilled pineapple on top, along with shredded jicama, some diced onion and cilantro. The tortillas are flavorful without being greasy, and they usually hold together, which I appreciate since nobody wants their taco filling to fall through while they're eating. One of my other favorites is their lamb taco: The lamb is very tender and slightly crisp, and it's served on a flour (instead of corn) tortrilla with cilantro and a sauce that's similar to tzatziki, and a bit of feta-style cheese, lending a Greek flavor to the whole thing. Every once in a while, Tacos G will have a duck taco on the menu, which is always a treat (I love duck!) but today, I had the duck taco and it was different than the last time I remember having it. Served with shaved cucumber, carrots, pickled onions, black sesame seeds and a homemade tamarind sauce, this was, without question, the best taco I've ever had in my life. Savory, slightly sweet, a bit of tang, and a wonderful element of heat - all in combination with a very tender duck and the crunch of the carrots and cucumber - made for an exceptional taco that can hold its own against the best anywhere. I'm hopeful that the owners of Tacos G will consider making this version of their duck taco a permanent menu item. I should mention, too, that other things I've had here are excellent as well, including their chips & salsa, guac, tamales and even their salsas (both red & green). If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and go, soon! read more

Excellent food. Nice portions, fresh ingredients, authentic. Very casual "fast food" type atmosphere, friendly service but often slow due to being understaffed. Outside seating is a nice touch. read more

Great tacos! Very fresh tasting and generous servings. The salsa was fantastic, also super fresh. My husband got octopus tacos which was really neat because you don't find something that unique every day. I had a salmon taco and a shrimp taco, which were both good sizes. I dislike paying $5 for a single taco and when it comes to the table, it's roughly the size of a silver dollar. Not the case here. Well worth the price for what you get. Also, a huge plus is that they have gluten free desserts. We got a GF tres leches cake which was a bit sweet but super yummy, and also a nice big piece! We took the rest home and shared with our kiddos and they loved it. They also have GF churros which we plan on coming back and trying next time. read more
