    Our bill

    Upon our arrival as a customer with a large party, I was chastised by the manager mistaking me for a patron that had been undesirable. Saying terrible things in front of my guests about me. Stating I was in last year and I was not. Making rude comments about me and he had obviously had mistaken my identity, with accusations ! It was appalling. If I had not made the reservation for a large group and the friends had not all arrived, we would have gone elsewhere. Unfortunately myself and two other guests drove far. And I chose LaLos, my friends were shocked at Daniels behavior to me and the young hostess trying to be nice. We were all shocked including my husband. Our waiter was great Thank God.

    This is the kind of traditional Mexican restaurant that is rare to see nowadays. Everything today seems like Chipotle-style -- bowls, pick your own items, cauliflower/brussels spouts, fusion. The decor is bright, colorful, a bit dated. Some signage pointed to: Restrooms/ Telephones. As one reviewer noted, it is pretty quiet. We stopped in one weekend afternoon and a few of the booths had customers. The quiet was loudly broken by one garrulous customer but that was it. The chips were fresh and crisp and warm. The salsa was bright and fresh but not spicy. The menu did not have the typical taco combos. I ordered the house enchiladas with shrimp that came with a creamy jalapenos sauce. It was very tasty and rich, with lots of cheese and shrimp. My companion had nachos, which was a heaping generous portion (enough for 4). Our elderly companion was overwhelmed by the choices, intimidated by the menu and we asked our server if she could just have one taco. They accommodated us and it was just the perfect amount for her. Also, my Diet Coke had a flat metallic flavor and I asked for an iced tea instead. Our food was good, the service was friendly, and I would return for another time, perhaps dinner instead.

    Which of the following do you enjoy? a) warm, friendly service b) complimentary chips and salsa c) endless menu options, including burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, seafood, and half a dozen kid menu options d) huge margaritas e) indoor and outdoor seating If you answered one or more of the above, you might want to check out Lalo's! The outdoor seating is covered, so that was nice that we could still dine outside on a dreary, debatably drizzly Friday night. My chicken burrito was satisfactory. It could've used more flavor in the chicken, beans, and/or cheese. It came with guac and sour cream, which I wasn't expecting. Both girlies ordered a cheeseburger (lol) off the kids' menu, and they enjoyed it with fries. Each entree came with a cup of chicken noodle soup, which was a nice touch. The fried ice cream was extremely underwhelming, and I regretted ordering it. The shell was stale and not very crunchy, and it was swimming in way too much artificially sweet strawberry sauce, so that was a swing and a miss.

    So, we stopped here for a quick bite, and I was overall pleased. The service is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I love the decor they had inside. The complimentary tortilla chips are served warm, and the house salsa is fresh and delightful. I was happy to see skinny margarita on the menu, so I tried one with passion fruit flavor, and it was so good. For my meal I had carne asada taco which was super tasty. For dessert, we did order the Mexican fried ice cream. We've only ever tried that at one other restaurant, so I knew I had to get it. I didn't realize it came with a strawberry syrup, and I was surprised at how good it tasted all together. I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

    I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now. I was in the area and craving mexican food. So here i am. Service was great. And the place is homey and nice from the inside. Some stuff to take note of 1. Kids are welcome 2. They dont split checks Now for the food. I ordered Lalo's Spicy Quesidilla. I love it. It has both steak and shrimp inside served woth sour cream and guacamole. I also ordered Flautas de Pollo. Its 4 pcs of flautas so i chose 2x chicken and 2x shredded beef. I honestly like the beef but the chicken was a bit bland. Feels like it wasnt seasoned and i didnt like the texture. Also got intrigued with their dessert. Ordered the mexican fried ice cream. It was ok. It has strawberry sauce that im not a fan off but still good. I would come back to try more things on the menu tho.

    The establishment is tight spaced and the food was a little bit salty. I loved the service as it was speedy service our food came out in record time. I would try the carne asada once you get there. The atmosphere would be best if you go with friends. Not sure what are the best days to go considering this is my first time eating here. I know they have a lunch buffet on Fridays.

    Came here for the first time on a weeknight for a quick bite during covid. We sat outdoors and had a great time it was quite busy which is great to see people patronizing this restaurant. The full menu is still available which is great to see as well. The service is quick and friendly and no complaints. Parking is ample as it is in a strip mall and shares a huge parking lot. This is classic Tex-Mex food and it is very enjoyable. Portions are generous. I would definitely come back here as this is my first visit specifically to this location as I was normally a custom to only visiting the city locations decades ago.

    For Mexican food the food is pretty bland. It came out warm not hot. Seems quality has gone down. Service was good though.

    Cafe El Tapatio - Sizzling Hot Fajitas steak

    Our family used to live on the same street a a Cafe El Tapatio in the city, and we loved it,…read moreespecially for their beans. Instead of being the canned stuff you can tell they put both a lot of care and seasoning into it. We moved out to the burbs and I saw this one on Yelp...but was it related? I mean, they have two different websites, and the one for this location literally has on their website "Serving you at one location!" We weren't sure, but we were willing to give it a shot. We came early on a Saturday, and inside they had a picture of the one in Chicago, and street signs for Ashland and Roscoe, where the Chicago one is located. So it HAS to be related...right? But the menus looked a little different... We got started with the chips and salsa, and the salsa has a real kick. Note that you only get the first chips for free and more chips would cost more. My wife got a torta, and I got tacos with steak and eggs on it, while my kid got the kid's quesadilla meal. And sure enough, there were those beans. Not dry at all and super flavorful. Next time I need to do my wife's play and order double beans instead of beans and rice. My tacos were messy but cooked well, with lots of bits of steak. I was a little confused because I thought my kid's meal would come with a drink, but they charged for his lemonade. I assume it's because it was a special blended drink and not just from a soda fountain. Now that we know this is here, we'll definitely be back, especially seeing that they have a patio for warmer weather. Glad to see we have an option when we're missing our city days.

    PSA: there's a kids' menu available now! See pics. $9.95 includes rice and beans and a soft drink…read more The kid quesadilla is quite tiny though. PSA #2: OpenTable reservations available! And you might need it. The restaurant was FULL at 6pm on a Friday, and almost every table had a kid, toddler, or baby at it, so I think 1) families (or parents lol) must like Mexican food, and 2) reservations would definitely be helpful! Complimentary chips and spicy salsa are available. I still petition for tortas to be on the dinner menu! My first petition for a kids' menu worked! Lots of offerings including burritos, bowls, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, and other entrees. My burrito was pretty ginormous, but it lacked a little flavor and mostly tasted like cheese and beans. Husband didn't complain about the enchiladas, but I think the serving was a little light for him. Because it was so busy, the waitress told him he could only choose one meat type. Satisfactory mojitos. Energy and atmosphere is very lively! Service was a bit slow, as I think the waitress was bouncing across many tables.

    After seeing Taco Verde on TikTok, I finally decided to order takeout--and it absolutely lived up…read moreto the hype. The ordering process was quick and easy, and the food was delicious. If you're looking for a unique taste of birria, this is the spot. Their birria pizza is hands down one of the best I've ever had--crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The rich, savory consommé perfectly complemented the tender meat and took the whole experience to another level. We also tried the loaded fries, which were generously topped and had a great balance of textures and flavors. Everything tasted fresh and indulgent without being overwhelming. I would 100% come back. Just a heads up: the restaurant is on the smaller side with limited seating if youre eating in.

    I really wanted to like Taco Verde, but it was a letdown from start to finish. The food was bland…read moreand oddly greasy at the same time, with tacos that tasted more like reheated leftovers than anything fresh or authentic. The tortillas were soggy, the fillings were skimpy, and the salsa had zero kick or flavor. Service didn't help the situation--slow, disorganized, and uninterested. Even though the place wasn't busy, it took forever to get our order, and it still came out wrong. For the price, the portions and quality just don't make sense. There are plenty of better taco spots that actually care about flavor and customers. Taco Verde feels like it's coasting on the name alone. Definitely won't be coming back.
