    Burrito special.... Looks good huh? ............it is.

    This is a little known Mexican restaurant in the Gurnee area, but let me tell you it's worth it. Just try it. I'm trying to be as honest as I can.

    Great tacos!! I'm really picky when it comes to Al Pastor (pork) tacos but this is one of the few places that I really like in the area. Their chorizo, and asada(steak) tacos are also really great! They have good agua de horchata which a lot of places have difficulty getting right. Their staff is very nice. There is outdoor and indoor seating. Credit cards are accepted when spending greater than $10. They also have taco Tuesday where most tacos are $1, but they are small than the regular ones.

    Juan Carlos makes the best Guacamole and Ceviche ever!!! This is a cute little restaurant with some of the best Mexican food around. 7 four top tables inside and a lovely Terrance with more seating outside - lined with cute flower boxes and a garden. Service with a smile and very big quality food - I highly recommend it!!!h

    I love this place. Their lengua tacos are the best! I also love their tamales. Their guacamole is freshly made to order for their appetizer.

    The food and service were great. The chimichunga was delicious and fairly priced. Serving areas were clean and welcoming.

    Great food and great service…read more We've been here several times and they always nail it. This time we had a Beef Burrito, Tongue taco and a taco salad. Everything came out quickly and hot. Flavor is really good. Tacos have lots of meat and perfect. Highly recommended.

    On Saturday, 13 December I lunched at Taqueria Cinco Hermanos in Grayslake with clients; we arrived…read moreabout 1pm. We were invited to seat ourselves and did so; we were attended almost immediately by a friendly, personable waitress who took our drink orders. Our drinks arrived very quickly as well as a plate of tortilla crisps and a small bowl of salsa; the salsa was excellent, with a good, home-made flavour and a terrific 'kick' to it (but not too hot). I enjoyed it very much, and told the waitress this as well. Due to the cold weather, I ordered a hot coffee, which arrived in a very beautifully decorated mug; it arrived very quickly as well. The waitress commented on the mug and, again, was very friendly and personable. Our orders arrived VERY quickly, in less than five minutes; I ordered the steak tacos and they were DELICIOUS. Full of flavour and served with cilantro, onion, lettuce, and tomato (and not too much of this) and on soft flour tortillas. I ordered three; I should have ordered more! The tacos were served with several different salsas, including a habanero which was wonderful and a salsa verde which was not as spicy but still had a great flavour/kick to it. . (small comment: I am partial to hot, spicy food so I really liked this) . We had two (2) different waitresses; both stopped by the table several times to ask how our meal was and if we wanted anything else. The waitresses kept my water glass filled, and with plenty of ice! The restaurant is clean and simply designed; the food was excellent and I will certainly come back again!
