    BAJA COD FISH TACO
    Marcus D.

    Another very good meal at Cabo. Their fish tacos are really great. Love their spicy tomato salsa. Service was a little slow but not horrible. The place tends to be loud, so it's hard to hold a conversation when the place is busy which it was on this visit. Still, solid meal. Will be back.

    I came here to celebrate my birthday with my bestie, and it happened to be on a snowy evening. The restaurant wasn't very busy, so we were able to choose our seat. The service is always great here, and the food was made quickly and served hot and fresh! I appreciate that they have vegan options, although I truly wish their refried beans and Spanish rice were vegan. I was able to order their vegetarian burrito and have them change a couple of things to make it vegan. It was absolutely delicious! The decor here is festive, and together with the lighting, they create a warm and inviting ambience. I enjoy this local establishment.

    Came here Labor Day weekend for the very first time for a dinner on Monday evening. We did not make reservations and quite frankly I'm not sure if they even take reservations. It is located in a large strip mall so there was ample parking, which is great. When you enter the restaurant, it is absolutely so fun and decked out with decor lights all made for you to take photos and post on Instagram There is even an outdoor area as well, which is great, but your surroundings are the parking lot As soon as I walked in, nobody greeted me nobody was waiting to greet me, and at least four of the weight staff passed by me without acknowledging that I existed and was standing there clearly looking around for my other half of the party So then I stood there at the doorway where there is conveniently placed a table as well no seating area no waiting area and had to call my other half of the party in order to locate them as the place was completely packed After sitting down and locating the other half of my party, no one came by with water. No one came by to greet us and then somebody did finally come by and asked us to move tables because they have a party of 10 coming in who needed our table. So we did move and how ironic we moved to the very front table right at the very entrance where everyone stands around and gets to watch you eat and are literally almost breathing on your food We ordered five different tacos as you can tell from the photos as well as an appetizer. We also got dessert of the churro fries. We did not order any drink drinks. Our actual waiter for taking our order changed twice because the lady came over to try to take our order. Then another waiter was having an issue to which she left and help that other waiter and then a different waiter came over to us to actually take our order. Despite all of this disorganization confusion and horrible experience, we still left a 20% tip The food is OK. The tacos are quite frankly overpriced and real realizing that there are so many taco options in the Chicagoland area. The only reason you're coming here to Northbrook is because you refuse to go to something more authentic and further away from your home in the suburbs I don't know if I would come back again again because there are so much saturation in the market with tacos and Mexican food in general, especially authentic Mexican food. This is not even Tex-Mex.

    Recently heard about this place and decided to come here with my mom. The interior is clean and simple. The workers are all pretty young. Menu is short and sweet. They also have a bar area if you're just coming for drinks. We ordered a little bit of everything to share. The torta was huge! Yum! Tacos were a bit of a mix. The tuna one didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping for, but the chicken taco had a nice spicy kick that made up for it. Chips and guac were classic and hit the spot. The horchata was delicious and came in a cute mason jar. Quesadilla was super cheesy and filling. Overall, would come back to try more and maybe grab drinks at the bar next time.

    We ordered carry out from Cabo after hearing good things about them from a friend. When my husband went to pick up the food he noticed that it was very busy and they were a bit slow in terms of service. This was likely due to it being a new restaurant plus they have outdoor seating and the weather was really nice on this particular day. The food we ordered was good. I appreciated that they offer fajitas in small and large portions. I had the small shrimp fajitas which came with three tortillas. There were 9 shrimp in the serving although the corn tortillas were a bit small to fit three shrimp and the other toppings. My husband ordered their burrito which he said was good. Overall, we look forward to trying Cabo again but this time dining there.

    Stylish casual Mexican joint, looks fancier than it is. Chips and salsa are not complimentary, but you have a choice of green or red salsa and it's a good-sized portion with thin, crisp and Warm, salted chips. I ordered the vegan crispy avocado tacos, which had panko fried avocado and covered with a black beans and roasted corn. It was really bland and could have benefitted from some onion and cilantro. My companion ordered a Baja fish taco and grilled shrimp taco and found them very flavorful. The Mexican street corn was bubbly and hot -- maybe could have used a little heat/spice. Overall, our dishes could have used a little more flavor -- although the salsas helped. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, food came out quickly, large parking lot. I'd come back again but order differently.

    When I arrived at 5:30pm it was just our table and a handful of other tables, by the time 6pm came around the place was full. This was a weekend dinner and the service was attentive and good. The guacamole dip was tasty and came with plenty of chips. The menu is extensive and the pricing isn't that bad considering it is a more Mexican American place. The torta that I ordered the al pastor one was huge, as the server mentioned. It was tasty, there was a decent amount of Al pastor - and the meat was nicely sliced as if off a spit, recently at places I feel like they haven't been as authentic as that. The torta was $12, quite a deal for the size. Will have to come back to try some other things on the menu.

    Great New Mexican place! At first I thought it was a chipotle kinda place but I am glad that it's way more and way better than that! Everything we had was fresh and flavorful at a reasonable price. And they have a bar! :) One confusing thing is that you can't grab a table until you order, and the servers will bring you the food...so it's fast causal except it's not that 'fast' coz it felt more like a sit down restaurant other than the ordering part. I wonder how that's gonna work once their foot traffic picks up.

    Love: that there's a new, upscale Mexican spot right by our swim school. We've been waiting for you, Cabo! The interior decor is nice, with the bright, colorful skull by the front, and the dazzling TEQUILA lettering above the fully stocked bar. Like: quick service style (order and pay at register, then get a number for food to be brought to you). Abundance of menu options. Bound to be something for everyone, across the apps, tacos, tortas, and dinners. Dislike: the food was very bland and one note for the ambiance Cabo exudes. I really wanted to like it more. My chicken al pastor burrito needed a lot more flavor, despite the chicken, beans, and pineapple components within it. I was disappointed and got Chipotle withdrawal. I also tried my daughter's steak torta, and it lacked so much flavor. The steak was not seasoned, and the avocado, onion, and tomato didn't add much to it either. It desperately needed a bold, flavorful sauce, and come to think of it, I didn't taste any cheese, if there was supposed to be some. My husband was on the same page with his double meat rice bowl: take us to Flavor Town! Price point is steep for the quality of food. The hibiscus drink was okay to try, but quite tart and acidic.

    The pulled pork tacos were decent. The meat was tender and slightly sweet. The toppings added a nice crunch. The place was clean and cozy.

We had caviar and drinks that were served in fun glasses and were topped with pretty little flowers. The whole experience really blew us away! I could've stayed all night but it was a stretch on the pocketbook. I truly recommend Yana's especially if you want to impress your friends. Great experience all around!

    We recently made our way to Yana's for an after dinner cocktail on Valentine's…read more They take reservations which is nice for a cocktail spot! We had reservations for 9pm and were able to be seated straight away. We arrived to find the address brought us to a barber shop. Fortunately, my husband had done some research and knew the drill--we made our way to a organ against a brick looking wall. On top of the organ was a bell--we rang the bell and shortly after the brick wall swung open and a woman came out to greet us. She had us play a tune on the organ and then brought us back into the speakeasy. The vibes are pitch perfect. Dimly lit with candles on tables and artful films playing on screens. We loved it. We were greeted straight away and brought water. You can also get a full meal here which we did not know but noted for our next visit. They had a special Valentine's menu as well as their regular cocktail menu. For my first cocktail, I got the paper plane which was light, lemony, and lovely with the adorable touch of a small paper plane pinned to the cocktail with a clothespin. For my second, I got one of their Valentine's specials which was essentially a Boulevardier made with a small float of mezcal on top. What an amazing addition to this classic cocktail! Truly, gave it added dimension, depth, and smoky flavor. I loved it. We also enjoyed their Valentine's dessert special, which was princess cake. It was a lovely blend of tart raspberry and warm almond--we loved it! The service was lovely throughout our experience. Get to it!

The service was great they were checking on us and following up on everything and very attentive. Now let's go to the food my sister recommended the shank I opted for the pork tank I think they also have a lamp one but the pork one was really good and super tender you don't even need a knife for it you just cut it with your fork or spoon in the meat comes off the bones right away. The pasta we ordered was also good came with the sausage it was the sausage rigatoni with sausage. My sister recommended the crispy brussel sprouts she said it was really good but we opted to go for the octopus I feel like the octopus was over seasoned a bit but it was cooked perfectly really tender. Will definitely be coming back to this place to try more stuff on their menu. Happy eating!

    We had made a reservation a month in advance to try a new restaurant on Father's Day. However, as…read morethe day approached, the weather forecast consistently called for thunderstorms, heavy rain, and possible flash flooding. We decided it was not a good idea to drive to an unfamiliar area in inclement weather and canceled the reservation on Friday night. We were fortunate that Social Inn is close by and is a great restaurant for celebratory dining. Best of all, they still had reservation available. As it turned out, it was just light rain the entire evening on Father's Day, but we didn't regret the change at all. Although the restaurant was not filled to capacity, it was bustling with many families celebrating Father's Day, creating a festive vibe. It's the first time that we met the owner, Daniella, who's so warm and welcoming. She invited us to choose from available tables in three different dining areas. We selected the table right by the lounge that had a large TV, homey décor, couch and cocktail table. It was also right by the big window overlooking the small and charming front patio. Our server, Chis, was very friendly, pleasant, and attentive. I ordered a Lemonade ($3), my husband and daughter each enjoyed a glass of Mer Soliel Reserve Chardonnay (2 for $26). We shared a Grilled Octopus ($22) which was cooked to perfection. The warm, lightly charred pita points paired well with the creamy and tasty beet hummus. I had a Slow Roasted Lamb Shank ($39) which was tender and full of flavors. It was a very generous portion that I shared a big piece with my husband; and still had leftovers to take home. It made a delicious lamb sandwich for my next lunch. My husband liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) so much last time that he ordered it again. Our daughter enjoyed her order of Rigatoni Sausage ($23), another generously portioned dish that she couldn't quite finish. By the end of the meal, we were too full for individual desserts, so we shared a Crème Brûlée ($8), which was the perfect sweet ending. All in all, it was a wonderful dinner. With consistent delicious dishes, warm hospitality, comfortable seating, and a convenient location, we will definitely be back again.

Our group shared the following: popcorn chicken, stir-fried chicken gizzards, fried eggs with Spam, corn cheese, truffle French fries, seafood pancake, bossam (pork belly, shrimp paste, lettuce wrap), rose tteokbokki, steamed egg souffle with cheese, spam and kimchi fried rice, station noodles (beef broth, veggies), and strawberry bingsoo. My favorite of the night was the rose tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was perfectly chewy and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. The popcorn chicken was also good and paired well with the sauce it came with. The bossam was on the dry side and the seafood pancake was pretty standard. The fries were good but wouldn't pay $10 for a basket of fries if we came back next time. The corn cheese was also good but the plate was small. There was a call button at each table which was convenient. Food came out individually as it was ready instead of all at once which was to be expected for our party size.
