We typically order dinners to go but on occasion we eat in (they have a few tables) and order tacos. We get elote and mango with chamoy. We've ordered a gallon size of pozole to go on weekends. For holidays we've ordered a tray of enchiladas. All food has been good. Nice family owned small business plus local. read more

Another fine Mexican restaurant in the area. Have come here several times since it was established as Campena and each time was excellent service and food quality. Very Authentic. I usually get the taco's or enchiladas. Today Pastor taco dinner. All the meats I have tried have been spot on and salsa is good. I'll attach a current Menu. I notice Torta Cubano's are Thursday special. I'll be back in a Thursday. I also like they encourage feedback. See photo Warning. No bathrooms read more

Restaurant is clean, there are four, four seater booths but no public restroom. The lady who took our order was really nice. We came here for dessert. We ordered horchata and a piece of flan and it was huge and the best flan I have ever had! They don't have fountain drinks but this is normal for Mexican restaurants. Maybe next time we are in the area we will stop in here for lunch or dinner. read more

Taqueria Campena - Flan - Mexican Near Me - Grayslake, Illinois

Super friendly super! They served FREE chips & guac for Cinco de Mayo - can't say no to that!! The food was tasty! I had Al Pastor tacos for the first time in a very long time and they were so good. The pineapple and pork was awesome. I would 100% order those again! The Jamaica drink was not sweetened at all, which I didn't mind, but just want to warn anyone who is expecting a sweet hibiscus beverage!! The restaurant had 4 booths total. Luckily there was only one other family there when we went on Cinco de Mayo! Lucky us!! Pricing was reasonable and the flavors were great. The guac tasted super fresh. Can't wait to return! read more

Love the quick and friendly service and yummy tacos! Great place to go after a baseball game or practice as they are open until 9pm!

Amazing food - made fresh. the Chile Rellenos tacos are outstanding. I literally dream about them. We've also enjoyed the carnitas tacos, steak tacos and the Chips and salsa. The salsa verde has a nice kick. -the red salsa is milder and also has great flavor. friendly staff, great value for the $. Will definitely be back. read more

Delicious food, great friendly service. Love the tacos! Chips and guacamole good too.

I find myself hunting out Mexican food squarely by checking if chile rellenos are a part of the menu. I find that when they are, more times than not, the Mexican food is legit. We ordered the chicken enchiladas verde, chile relleno, barbacoa tacos, chicken tacos, and a tamale. The food took about 12 minutes for them to put together and it all tasted authentic. It's a small place, with not a lot of seating. But the food didn't disappoint. My only complaint was on the chile rellenos. While the flavor was amazing all the way around, the cheese was not melted in the middle (which we solved by throwing in the oven). We will definitely be back! read more

The kitchen knows what they're doing. Food was great and staff was friendly. Highly Recommend read more

Okay so after being disappointed going to Lovely Thai being inconveniently closed today even with their hours stating they are open on yelp, went to try get some chinese but then it's a Monday so most chinese places are closed for some reason and ended up here so decided to try them out. I'm so glad I did because they have fried bananas which I've been craving for a while now and I can't find a place that serves them. Ordered enchiladas but special requested Mole sauce on it and it was pretty good. The owner was pretty nice and even gave a complimentary Peña Jarritos drink. The place is nicely decorated typical Taquerias feel to it, looks clean and welcoming. Definitely, try them out! Will be back again for sure. read more

The food was quite good. It took a long time for the delivery to my hotel. But, I'd recommend this place.

We are in the area for a family vacation and we're looking for a Mexican restaurant that served sope's, and wow! This place delivered! The establishment is clean, and smelled great, we were instantly greeted and we looked over the menu. Our order was taken with care and promptly brought out hot and accurate. The staff was nice, friendly and very accommodating. We plan on visiting again before we leave. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience! read more

These tacos are the best!! I came here with a friend a few weeks ago so this review is late! Today we returned with our boos and again we were not disappointed! We got tacos (all of the above), a torta, a tlacoyo (Gordita de frijol), and an elote. The al pastor tacos were my fave but the steak tacos were also fantastic! On top of all of this, we received great service. This is officially our new taco spot! Check it out! read more

All the food is amazing but they have the BEST Al Pastor tacos!!! Elote is also amazing. They have great salsa. I like the mild one and my boyfriend loves the orange sauce- he even got an 8 oz container to go. Service is extremely friendly, accommodating, and appreciative. The atmosphere is small and cute and they make you feel at home. They have specials on Tuesdays for Taco Tuesday! We drive over 30 minutes to get here. I don't typically write reviews but this family owned business deserves all the love!! read more

Taqueria Campena - Al Pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Grayslake, Illinois

So I have a pretty high bar for tacos. Good tacos, but what I would come back for again and again was the fresh mango juice. My husband spoke to the owner and he was super friendly. Come out and support a local business by simply eating some tacos. read more

If you're looking for a local spot this is an affordable place to try out. The food is fresh but service is pretty slow. From my visits, I've noticed that food comes out quicker when the place is full of customers. If you're thinking about doing take out I advice to order ahead! read more

Taqueria Campena - Cecina sope - Mexican Near Me - Grayslake, Illinois

Small restaurant with a few booths for seating. We tried a few different items here that were fine. I will say the rice and asada were seasoned well. When we went it was towards the end of the night and there seemed to be some confusion in the kitchen but food came out fairly quickly. Food was just a little more pricey than I expected. They have a cooler with a good selection of bottles beverages. It did look like they sell fruit cups and elotes - I didn't try those but them being available bumped this to 4 stars from a 3. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here, but might come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Taqueria Campena - a bottle of sangria memorial - Mexican Near Me - Grayslake, Illinois

Authentic Mexican, small dine in area, we were there at a slow time but I can imagine they do quite a bit of carry out biz. I had the chicken fajitas, so much food! Veggies cooked to perfection, caramelized onions, ample chicken, perfectly seasoned. Small portion of rice and beans, which were just fine. My dining partner had a Steak Torta, it was piled up with steak and toppings and they enjoyed it. Decent selection of Mexican and US soft drinks in a bottle or can. Service was very friendly. read more

Yep, they have great Mexican food in Grayslake. Close to work, warm family service. Super friendly people and even make their own flan. We've had fajitas, sopes, flautas, tamales, and of course tacos. (Favorites are their el pastor, steak, chorizo) read more

I come here often and I've enjoyed everything I have ordered. The people are super friendly. Will be back again

Was driving by and found this spot on google the pambazos are amazinggggg you know it's good when your half way done with it without salsa! It's even more amazing with salsa on it. Plátanos Machos are out of this world read more

Taqueria Campena - We had chicken sopes, ground beef burrito, fish taco w/rice, beans, chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Grayslake, Illinois

This new little place is clean and fresh feeling and service was fast. The menu seems reasonably priced. But I didn't see any vegetarian offerings. That's usually not a problem to ask for no meat or dairy on tacos or burritos, but here ordering a bean burrito with no cheese or sour cream will cost you $2 more! Really?? The burrito was way heavy on the lettuce and pretty light on the rice and beans. I really wanted to like this place but I probably won't come here again if I have to pay more for less ingredients. Hopefully they rethink their menu pricing. Beans and rice shouldn't be $2 more than meat on a burrito. read more

I don't often leave reviews, and I would rarely consider a restaurant deserving of five stars, but I truly believe that this place may be some of the best Mexican food in Lake County. Do yourself a favor and get a large chicken taco, a large al pastor taco - go in there during the lunch hour, see what they have behind the counter - and give it all a try. I haven't had anything here that wasn't absolutely delicious. read more

The place is clean and the owner is friendly. We ordered 15 mins before closing time and they were happy to fulfill our order. The food is FRESH! The al pastor tacos and steak tostada were excellent. The salsas were fresh and full of flavor. We will be back. read more

The food is authentic and so good. I've been here quite a few times and always been extremely happy with the food and the folks who run the business. read more

I can't recommend this place enough! I got an elote, steak taco dinner and a horchata. The food was extremely delicious and flavorful. Great value as well. The tacos were piled high with meat and the beans didn't taste like they were just emptied out of a can. The elote has been the closest I have tasted that could compare to Mexican street corn in Chicago. The service was fast and friendly. Will be eating here time and time again! read more
