    I had tow pastor tacos one steak taco and some guac.  Over all it was good just wish I could have had lime. Had to go buy my own   But other wise a good taco.

    Food was really delicious! Chips, salsa and guac had amazing flavor. Grilled tilapia tacos were stellar. Hubby was not. Fan of the tamales but said the taco and the enchiladas were fantastic. Kids had nachos and quesadillas, both really great. Place is clean and food came out fast. Only 4 stars because the woman behind the register (not our waitress) got annoyed when I asked for our check after waiting more than 20 minutes AFTER finishing our food (and clearing the table). Then, the waitress didn't split our bill and the women at the register got so annoyed she started talking about us in Spanish, not realizing that a member of our group is fluent in it. Awkward!!! I would totally go back for the food but the lady behind the counter was something else. Geez.

    Hate to ever leave a bad Review.. I don't like spending my hard earned money on my Dinner that was microwaved before it was given to me.I never had this happen to me at the Lake Zurich Or Round lake Tacos El Norte.

    Tacos El Norte is the shiznit!!!! With extra shiz!!!! The only other Mexican restaurant that could hold water to this place would be the Tacos El Norte in Round Lake.

    My favorite item to get is the Chili's Rellenos dinner. Two pablano peppers breaded and filled with Chihuahua Cheese, covered in an awesome Ranchero sauce. It is served with your choice of corn or flour tortillas.
    On the side is the Spanish rice and refried beans, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes.

    The salsa they serve with the chips is incredible!!

    The other dish I love, on the weekends they have a Shrimp Soup that is out of this world.
    It's big enough to have it for your meal.
    That being said, I'm a big guy and a hearty eater so I usually get a Lengua taco to go with the soup.

    When I'm really looking for a challenge, I get the Steak Papi Burrito with extra meat. This monster is as big as my forearm. It's amazing!!

    If you want real Mexican food you must try this place. It's by far the best I've ever had hands down......

    I have been coming here for years!  I love the food!  It's so cool to see that some of the staff that was there tonight were the same staff that were there 15 years ago.  The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because it needs some updating inside.
