    Nightmare feels a bit like an understatement. I will preface this entire story by saying I am a millennial and very new to the Apple Pay world. However, Invicto states online that they accept Apple Pay and so I did not expect the entire process to be so troublesome. I stopped in for a quick dinner and had about $30 in Apple Cash. Invicto only takes card or Apple Pay and so I had planned to pay any remaining balance with my debit card. They also have computers where you place your order. I did so and in the checkout process attempted to pay, but the system closed out my order after tapping my Apple Pay. I thought maybe that I needed to start over so I tried to go through the process again and upon pulling up my Apple Pay again I realized that my balance was wiped and that I had in fact been charged the first time through. I asked the two people in the kitchen if they could help me, and if they saw my order to which the gentleman stated that he had no idea about the ordering system and he could not help me. I tried to tell him that I had been charged and I wanted to see if my order had gone throughand again he told me in essence - too bad so sad. I waited and asked the woman behind the counter if she might be able to help me and she had no knowledge of the ordering system either. Likely because I was not leaving and could not figure out any other ways to troubleshoot this problem the guy came back up to me a final time and said "what is your problem?" Great customer service if I do say so. I explained the entire situation a fourth time and really would have preferred to just have my order refunded, but of course that is not something that he was capable of doing. He begrudgingly made my order and sent me on my way. I do not believe that this establishment should state that they have Apple payment nor should they be utilizing a computer-based ordering system if they do not have someone on the premise who is able to troubleshoot issues.

    I heard about this place from TikTok and decided to go try it. Located in Mellody Farms. It wasn't too busy when i stopped by. I ordered the taco plate with pastor and asada. Plate comes with rice and beans and a side of chips. Of course had to get horchata. Service was quick. Everything was good and very filling. Never had horchata with whipped cream but still pretty good. One less star cause it was kinda pricey. Spent $20+ on the meal.

    My niece was craving a churro shake so we made our way to Invicto. We got a few tacos for a quick dinner and dined in. The tacos we got were: -Al pastor -pollo -camarones The corn tortillas were fresh and delish. The prices were a little high for my taste, but the tacos were generously stuffed. There is a self serve salsa bar, but I didn't find any sauces with actual heat so that was a bit disappointing. The decor is bright and fun. The place was starting to get crowded while we were there (630ish on a Saturday evening) but the staff kept things moving along smoothly. You have to order at a self service kiosk but I did see one of the staff helping a customer. Overall, there are other places I'd prefer to go to for authentic tacos, but invicto has a nice vibe that I'm sure I'll experience again.

    Another day, another trip to Invicto. This is one of my favorite fast casual Mexican spots. Everything is made to order, ingredients are fresh, and taste like elevated street mexican. Pricing can come at a premium which is why I love the burritos so much! This time, I got the Nacho Burrito with Elote filling! There are (6) assorted sauces and salas offered but the chipotle crema is my favorite. It adds a smokey cream with a small finishing heat. Their menu has something for everyone. Don't skip on a churro shake as they are *chef's kiss*.

    Cute place, horchata was good but everything else was not good. Chips were cold and it's overpriced. $5 or more for a taco. My Mexican parents didn't like it.

    Invicto is a casual mexican restaurant with a few locations. I went to the one in Vernon Hills in the Mellody Farm shopping mall. When you enter you have the option of ordering up front or from the two digital kiosks in the back of the restaurant. You can seat yourself wherever you like, they have both indoor and outdoor options. I had the chicken nacho burrito and I was not disappointed. Definitely choose the option for it to be grilled on the outside. The burrito has a layer of tortilla chips that add a lot of texture and crunch into each bite. The chicken was juicy and seasoned just right. The ingredients themselves were spread evenly through the burrito. I really liked the combination of the queso and guacamole sauce. The portion for the burrito was also generous. They also have a self-serve sauce/salsa bar with several different options to choose from. Personally I liked the salsa ranchera the best!. It did take about 20 minutes to get my order, so order ahead or plan accordingly, especially when they are busy. I am excited to try more of their menu in the future.

    I enjoyed the vibe at Invicto - I left like I was sitting at a taco stand in Mexico - maybe by the water. You place your order at the kiosk and you pick it up at the window. This wasn't too clear as I saw people go directly to the counter and they were waved back to the kiosks. They didn't call out a number either and we were constantly asking if the food that was sitting out belonged to us. But I forgive those minor inconveniences because I enjoyed the food. The chips were hot and freshly fried. The guacamole was fantastic -- lots of chunky avocados with onion, tomatoes and cilantro. The elotes was ok. If there's something called vampiros on the menu, I'm gonna try it -- CRISPY CORN TORTILLA W/ GUACAMOLE SAUCE, SALSA RANCHERA, ONIONS Y CILANTRO -- I thought this was very good but also very messy and hard to eat. My friend tried the mulas - a quesadilla- and they said it was ok. The taco plate was tasty and generous with rice and beans. I enjoyed the salsa and sauce bar and my piña Agua Fresca was very refreshing. I thought the food was fresh and tasty and I'd like to try the quesabirrias or one of the bowl.

    Stopped in for a quick dinner while in the area. I place an order online and it was ready as soon as I got there. Everything was fresh and warm. I visited on a Wednesday evening and it was not busy at all. Plenty of seating options inside. They even had a salsa bar cart which was cool to see. I had to try a few. My food was good and the milkshake was so creamy and delicious. I went with a steak vamperios because I've never had that before and I was curious. It was tasty, crispy with lots of flavor which I enjoyed. I also had to try the chips and queso. The chips were great but the queso was not my favorite. Just not my cup of tea, and I'm usually a queso lover! Anyways, I'd suggest stopping in here for a quick bite to eat.

    We stopped in for dinner on a cold winter evening because we were had an errand to run nearby. The decor of Invicto made us feel like we were in Cozumel due to its bright colors and beachy feel. You place your order at a kiosk and then they call your number when the food is ready. I had a taco basket which came with a choice of two tacos and side of chips. My husband had a burrito and horchata drink. The food was good. If we are in the area we'd stop in again.

    I'd really love to give it more stars but the flavor of the foods were just not on par with so many other Mexican food options around the area. The tacos only had some shredded cabbage, onion, and cilantro. No pico or guac or any other pepper type of flavor. The ingredients and everything were very fresh, but the depth of flavor is severely lacking other than a lot of salt and maybe just cumin. I'm not sure if they are limiting the spices due to potential allergen risks, but the flavors are all very singular and flat. The mushroom tacos mushroom were big and juicy but just very salty and no other flavor. Same with the shrimp. I've definitely had way better shrimp tacos anywhere else. Both the mushroom and shrimp had this similar dark flavor. I was expecting vastly different flavors but no, tastes the same. And the sauce on the tacos were also just kind of bland and the same as in the corn tacos. For how much each taco was, which was about a dollar more expensive than everywhere else, the actual taste does not meet expectation. Again, the ingredients are all very fresh, and I feel like this is very catered to hip/working class who don't really care about the price or the taste as long as there's fresh ingredients and large quantity. The atmosphere is very modern and clean and well designed. They even have self-serve kiosk for ordering. They do have an app you can collect rewards but I'm really not sure if I wanna try anything else if they all taste about the same. Edit to add: there seems to be such difference in experience based on reviews, I wonder if the quality/flavor just vary day to day, and I just happened to be unlucky today. It does seem that tacos were underwhelming. Elotes in particularly. I may have to come back again to give it another chance.

    Delicious food in a laidback setting. Easy service with self service ordering kiosks and able to just grab drinks on your own. Mushroom and steak tacos were delicious!

    Great dinner! We sat outside. Everyone orders at a kiosk which makes it very easy and then they call the number. The portions were good and the food was delicious. I definitely will be back!

The restaurant is pretty small, but they packed a lot of seating into this old Subway. The booths can easily fit a group of 6, while the tables can be pushed together to seat more. There are also 3 tables outside as well. Plenty of vegetarian options, which is a huge bonus, and they have Beyond beef for those that enjoy mock meats. I had dinner here with two of my friends, and we all enjoyed our meals! We shared these yummy little horchata balls, and I had a vegetarian burrito (solid size!). I also had two, don't judge haha, classic margaritas. I wouldn't typically order a classic margarita, as I don't do overly sweet or syrupy drinks, but these were really light and yummy!! The Ay Cabron! hot sauce was SO good with my burrito, and had a nice tingle while still providing flavor. My bill came out to $36 for the three things I ordered, which is pretty decent considering how expensive dining out can be. Can't wait to dine in again to try the Chile Relleno! YUMMY!

This Libertyville gem truly serves a taste of Mexico right here in Illinois. Food & Drinks: We ordered chicken and steak tacos, a chicken quesadilla, and started with fresh guacamole, chips, and salsa. Everything was absolutely delicious--the tacos were perfectly seasoned with tender, flavorful meat, and the quesadilla was cheesy, golden, and satisfying. The guacamole tasted incredibly fresh, and the chips had just the right amount of crunch. We paired it all with their signature margaritas, which are a total standout--fresh lime juice, top-shelf tequila, and perfectly balanced. Service, Ambiance & Ownership: Not only was the staff attentive and friendly, but the owner, Jose, personally came by to check on us.
