My only gripe is the pace during lunchtime. I get that they're busy, but it is lunch, and most people don't have a lot of time to spare. The wait can feel a bit long when you're trying to squeeze in a quick meal. Still, the food makes it worth coming back, especially when you're not in a rush.

We couldn't decide if we wanted breakfast or lunch so a friend recommended this place since they…read moreserve both. Plenty of parking as it's located in a plaza. The menu is located on a big board behind the counter. They have quite a lot of food items to choose from. You order and pay at the counter and you'll get a number to put on your table and they bring it out to you. They had me at horchata, plus it's self serve and you can get refills. The kicker? It's delicious horchata so I will be back. For my food I ordered breakfast enchiladas in red sauce and a side of hashbrowns. I didn't realize the enchiladas came with rice and beans so that was a lot of food so some got packaged up to go home. The space is clean, there's plenty of tables inside to dine in. Staff were quick to clean off tables as patrons left.

Other flavors, palomas, and bottled beer also available. - crispy camarones and ahi tuna taco. Love the crunch in the shrimp and accompanying aioli and red onion on the tuna. The tortillas are VERY fresh. - rotating taco of the week! So fun! - would get the queso dip and chips again. Addictive! Nooo: - they're closed on Sundays as a heads up. Only calling it out as a sad point bc the food is tasty and something you would want 7 days a week. - individually wrapped plastic utensils and plastic cups are a little wasteful. - the tres leches cake tastes like it's made from yellow boxed cake mix, but it does taste appealing and milky. Easy parking in the lot outside. Interior has about 8 tables, and in the warmer months, there's a bit of patio seating.

I stopped by because I had a gift card for a "free sandwich". The person in the drive thru let me know with full certainty that sandwich meant anything.

Would definitely come back to this location.

I find level 2 to be perfect, has the kick I enjoy, but not overly so and blow out my taste buds. We went when they had their $5 hot chicken sandwiches in honor of National Hot Chicken day. Not surprisingly, it was very busy. They still put out good food and EXCELLENT service. Everyone was so nice and they all handled the flow of people very well. I was so impressed.

Man sat in the drive-thru for 2.5 HOURS. I wish I was exaggerating. At some point he had already gotten his shake and drink... and then just... continued waiting another 45 minutes for the food like it was a full-time job. Now here's the crazy part, after ALL that... the chicken was still a 10/5 for me Like??? How is it THAT good even after that experience?? I can only imagine how amazing this place is on a regular, non-chaotic, why-did-you-do-this-to-yourself type of day. Because if this was a 5/5 THROUGH the drive-thru madness... I'm already sold. Moral of the story: don't be like my husband. Go on a normal day. But DEFINITELY go. Delicious!!

That said, this particular location has a habit of forgetting items in the order. It's frustrating to get home and realize something's missing, especially when you have to turn around and go back. When everything is correct, it's totally fine -- consistent food, friendly enough service, and the kids are happy. I just wish the accuracy was better.

OMG I was beyond pleasantly surprised whoever cooked that fish last night and whatever recipe they used it is a rockstar. It was so good and I reheated the leftovers tonight and it reheated amazingly they had just enough of the sauce in the container that allowed me to reheat it I added a little butter. I am absolutely 100% blown away. I was skeptical, but I'm so glad that I chose to order it. I love that I can order good fish right down the street from my house and not having to drive all the way to Bob chins. To the chef that cooked this at Dengeos chefs kiss I cannot say enough good things about this. The flavor was perfect not one single bone and I loved it from the first bite to the last bite the next night and thank you for putting enough of the sauce in there that I'm able to reheat it beautifully I definitely will be ordering this again thank you thank you thank you. And to Dengeos management whoever that chef was absolutely needs a piece of Portillo's chocolate cake and a balloon because that was phenomenal.

I love the chicken kabobs or the Greek salad with shrimp, both are fresh and flavorful every time. The lemon soup is also delicious. We've catered before and it was easy and a big hit. My husband is a fan of the skirt steak sandwich and the gyros. Overall, they make everything easy and convenient, and I really appreciate the pickup window, such a bonus when you're on the go. They also do a great job with upkeep, constantly wiping down tables, which we really appreciate.

I ordered the two hot dog special that comes with fries and a drink, I was able to get one of my favorite drinks, red crème soda. Before I settled down my food was ready quickly. The hot dog was a natural casing dog which I loved. The hot dog had a good snap. It had all the trimmings of a Chicago Style hot dog and all of the trimmings was fresh. I love the fact that they wrap the dogs to stay warmer. The fries on the other hand were underwhelming. They were hot and crispy but lacked a good potato flavor. Overall, the only drawbacks were the fries and cost of the two hot dog special. I think it was one of the most expensive hot dog combos I had this year.

On a rainy Thursday night, we finally had a chance to check it out because we wanted a quick and easy meal before heading to the Art exhibition opening in the Northbrook Public Library close by. The restaurant was not busy at the time. There was only 1 table occupied. After we settled down, there was another small table taken. Our waitress was friendly, but after she brought the Miller Light for my husband and a draft beer "Fist City" for our daughter, she forgot about my lemonade. I had to remind her when she brought our food. She also just brought 1 Fish Taco when my daughter ordered 2, and had to place another order again. Not a big deal. When we left and passed by her, she didn't say anything like thank you or good bye, just looking at us. It was a little awkward. Well, maybe she's just not very outgoing. Hope that I was not expecting too much from a little eatery. Now on to the tacos. There were hits and misses. The Crispy Avocado Taco was very good! It's my first time tasting fried avocado, crispy and flavorful! I would order that again! However, the lamb in the Lamb Carnitas Taco was bland and rather dry. it's the first time that I ever had lamb that had no flavor. Although the mango slaw had a nice crunch, tart and refreshing, and went well with the lamb meat, it was skimpy and not enough to top all the meat. I joked to my husband that maybe that's the taste of munching on cardboard! I don't like to waste food and I wasn't full, but I could not continue eating, and had to waste half of the lamb taco. Husband thought that his Blackened Salmon Taco was OK, but his Steak Taco was not, since every bite of steak had gristle. He was surprised since that was supposed to be their signature taco. Daughter's 2 Fish tacos were good, except that she didn't like the flour taco shells. She prefers corn taco shells. My lamb taco had corn taco shells (2 layers) and the crispy avocado had flour shells. I love supporting local businesses and really planned to give Eataco 5 stars before we came, but had to deduct 1 star after we dined in. However, when I read more reviews afterward and found that many customers enjoyed the 2 bottles of salsa (1 green and 1 red) that came with the tacos, and we had no condiments of any kind on our table. Should I had a bottle of salsa, the Lamb Carnitas would have been edible. Unfortunately, I had to deduct another star. Our overall experience at Eataco was not bad, it took us only 55 minutes for the meal. It fits the bill when you need something quick and simple.
