Haven't been here since the old Puerto Rican ladies had it and I don't know why. I was missing out. Staff was great. Started off with chips and salsa. Chips were "meh", but the salsa was outstanding! Had to go with the main "Quesobirria Taco" plate and some brisket. OMG. Both of these are top notch items and I'm now disappointed I didn't get here years ago. Refried beans were 9/10 too. Capped it off with mini-pitchers of soda and really had a great meal. Pricing is fair and overall experience was great. We're going to parlay lunch here with a visit to the butcher next door - every week. read more

The place was empty with half of the restaurant closed off like it wasn't being used. We ordered an iced tea and they didn't have any and no offer to make any. They have a corona sign in the window and told us that don't serve alcohol. We ordered seafood dish to be told they don't have any seafood. The birria was ok. I would never return. read more

I've been here twice now. This time I chose one of the specials, Birria Tamales. Oh my gosh!!!!! 3 beef Birria and cheese tamales with a side consommé. Plus some pico and guacamole on the side to help with the pure decadence of the tamales. The family that runs the restaurant is so nice. The owner came out with a mug of noodle soup to try. It is a pleasant but small dining room. Cannot wait to go back. read more

Everything we tried was delicious. They gave us a cup of frijoles charros at the beginning of our meal and it was full of jalapenos, veggies, and chicharron. The corn ribs were in a chipotle mayo sauce but the corn itself was limey and has food texture. The flautas, ramen, and tacos were super flavorful - the birria is smoky and rich. The birria bomb was a surprise - basically a giant arrancini full of rice, cheese, and birria that went really well with the consome. Definitely coming back. read more

Food selection is fantastic and reasonably priced. A bit on the salty end but overall really good.

Everything was outstanding! Our server was friendly and informative. Our order came quickly and hot! We ordered Chicken Tamales and Chicken Enchiladas, both with rice and beans, both were so flavorful and seasoned perfectly. We will be coming back for sure and spreading the word. Nice size restaurant, very comfortable and clean. read more

Completely disgusting, from the start when they brought us chips and salsa, the salsa was sour, rotten, who knows how many days it had been sitting there, then the food, the birria had been reheated god knows how many times, and they still had the audacity to want to charge full price until I spoke with the owner and they apologized, will not be coming back, avoid this place at all costs read more

I've been here a handful of times, weekdays and weekends. Staff is always super friendly and attentive. Food comes out fast and super fresh. Their margs are another fav of mine. I would recommend to anyone looking for a yummy taco dinner! :) read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in after a night at Six Flags. It was cold and rainy and we knew we wanted warm food so I pulled up Yelp and saw the rave reviews and decided to venture to Texas Bebe's Quesobirria. And we are sooooo glad we did! I got the Quesobirria tacos and I am still dreaming about them. Everything was perfect!! One bite and you knew it was the best taco you'll ever have. My boyfriend and I were speechless after our first few bites. Writing this review is torture because I want to come back and live about an hour away in the city. Before we even finished our meal, we were making a list of people we want to bring out here. We were already saying we wanted and needed to come back before we even finish our meal. I was upset I was full. We chatted with some of the staff and everyone was kind and excited that it was our first time. I learned from our waitress that they opened in the midst of 2020 and for a restaurant to open during that time AND be successful enough to grow shows how amazing the food and staff are. To add to the positives, it's a family owned restaurant. The drinks are amazing and the sauces are fresh. The decor ties into their Texan roots. We had a fun time at Six Flags, but finding this gem was the highlight of our night!! read more

I'd seen Quesobirria tacos on the Food Network and been wanting to try them ever since, so I was very excited to find Texas Bebe's so close in Grayslake. Reality was a little disappointing for me. I got the #1, Quesobirria tacos meal. It was tasty but super greasy. My companion got a chicken burrito that he really enjoyed. The restaurant was cute and had plenty of options on the menu, including desserts. It was definitely worth a trip to try something new. read more

Quesobirria tacos were so delicious and the Birria Chan was also very delicious. It was different from what we've had before it's like a ramen noodle soup with brisket. The people that work/own it are VERY nice the owner came up to us starting talking to us super friendly. The environment was very southern. We will definitely be repeat customers. read more

First time we came here was for catering and was disappointed because they promised our large order would be ready by 6:00. It wasn't ready until 6:45. Not a really great first impression. Tonight was the second time. Different story. Came early on a Sunday evening to beat the dinner rush. Looks like they plan on expanding and could use it as the space is pretty tight. Customers are able to seat themselves in the bar or tables. Service was fast and the wait staff explained the menu before we could even ask. Margarita was delicious and beer was ice cold, which I like. My husband ordered the Torta al Pastor, which he usually orders at Mexican Restaurants. I ordered the Birria Chan, which was unique. Mexican and Japanese ingredients fused into a delicious soup. Excellent fusion!! The depth of flavor in the broth was spectacular!! The Ramen noodles soaked all the flavor from the broth. Plus, hints of Cilantro further enhanced the flavor. Could not stop eating!! It came with two meat tacos that you could dip in the soup and that cabbage slaw is addicting. I had my husband taste the soup. He liked it so much that he ordered it as well. This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant in Lake County. A must try!! read more

I'm here to tell you-there are NO BETTER birria tacos ANYWHERE in this part of the country. Nearly two years ago my wife and I stumbled onto a food truck in Nashville that served, up until now, the best birria tacos I had ever had. Having lived in Colorado Springs and driving to Pueblo Colorado for gray Mexican food, I feel I've eaten very good Mexican food. But this little family-owner Tex Mex restaurant served the absolute best birria tacos EVER. I ordered the #2 on the menu which was a large bowl of heaven. A consommé filled with shredded beef, cilantro, noodles and other ingredients that all worked together to produce an incredible dipping sauce for the birria tacos served with it. If you have never tried birria tacos YOU MUST and if you want the best go to Texas Bebe's in Grayslake read more

Very nice customer service, wonderful tacos!! My first time there and I will be coming back! read more

Great food and service at this family owned spot. You won't be disappointed! Make sure to try the Queso Birrias, they are amazing.

All food and drinks were very good the only thing we didn't like was the hot sauce but everything everything else was awesome.

Oh my everything was perfection. My son had number 1 was delish. With or without Consommé. I had smoked brisket sandwich with jalapeño and caramelized onion. they had good margaritas my son had a grapefruit margarita I asked for how opinion mind I would like a little more minced jalapeños some heat but the margarita was pretty good. The owner was walking around and making sure that everything was OK. He made two rounds very thorough very nice. It was a little expensive but I'd rather spend a little more money and have really good food so I would definitely come back here and try more of the menu. One thing I think that would be good is as many prices were accurate I think they weren't updated so the prices when we checked out did not reflect on the menu . If you're in the area highly recommend it and if you're not in the area take a drive out here. read more

Texas Bebe's Quesobirria knocked it out of the park again this year. We used them to cater our Halloween party and the food was as consistently great as it was the previous years! The tacos were so flavorful and full AND THE CONSOMÉ WAS DELICIOUS! The owner and staff are very helpful and friendly, we always get great service! I recently went there and got this bean soup that I think they were testing out and the birria ramen... IT WAS SOOO GOOD. We love these guys and highly recommend them. read more

Our search for the best birria tacos in Lake County is over, this place is oh. my. god. SO GOOD!!!! Visited last weekend for a late lunch and the food was just what we needed. We started off with the guac and some salsas. I don't know what the red salsa was, but it was bomb! I mean, if they sell it, call me, I will get it! We followed our order with the #1 quesobirria taco which comes with 6 corn tortillas filled with the birria meat and cheese, sided with the dipping birria sauce. We had to order extra because it was out of this world. We also ordered the #9 taco pobre. We choose brisket, and as soon as we started eating we ask for another order to be prepared. Those crispy brisket tacos, that spicy mayo. Served with rice and beans... Oh god, I am hungry now! Bebe's is a family owned restaurant. The attention was fantastic, like you were visiting family. Also, the place is all Texas decorated. We love the state of Texas and being at Bebe's made us feel there. If birria is not your thing, no worries, friend. They offer beef, chicken and seafood tacos. Also tamales. Check the daily specials menu too. Zero excuses! Now, most importantly, if you are craving tacos now, this is a sign. Say no more and run there. read more

All styles of tacos are absolutely fantastic. Yes some of the drawbacks are that their bar selection is highly limited. But that's not a big deal whatsoever or a game changer. Definitely ask for the red sauce because it will almost melt off your face with heat, but really tastes absolutely delicious read more

Everyone is so nice here, the owner is amazing and always comes by and says hi to our table. Most importantly their food is DELICIOUS! Best Mexican food in the Lake County area. Better than Tacos El Norte and Los Comales. Absolutely phenomenal food! Me and my partner frequent this place a lot because there is just no other place like it . Unique concept and a beautiful origin story. Please visit and see for yourself. read more

Omg this is a long one, but the short version is....Don't do do it! Don't waste your money here. We ordered quesobirra tacos, asada tacos, rice, beans, chips and salsa. There was no flavor to anything we ordered, literally none. It's as if they don't know what seasonings are or that salt helps. For the Birria tacos: They use mini corn tortillas so 6 tacos is more like three. They were soggy, but also never crisped up, which is why I'd say greasy is accurate. Though you expect to have grease with cheese and consume. This is the first pace I have had them small and not with a crispy texture to the outside. The asada tacos were full of meat, but also no flavor and dry. This is where I used the small salsas. The red hot was hot, not too hot, but again no flavor at all..... just red heat. The green was medium in heat to mild, also no flavor. The beans were very thick and bland, I would say from a can, but if they are they got dried out. The rice was red Mexican restaurant style rice, nothing added to it, including salt or bullion. The table style salsa and chips were ok, but I knew from tasting that to start....we were going to be disappointed. This place is way too expensive to be out here with no flavor. Oh and they charge more for using a card over cash. I wouldn't mind paying the price for good food, but I literally ended up not finishing my half and gave some to my dog and then the rest out. Ochoa's in Deerfield or La Plancha in Highwood are far better!! read more

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place! A hidden gem tucked away in a small little strip. The nachos were delicious. The Birria was the star of all the dishes and so flavorful and tender. The noodles for the Birria chan were such a good texture. The portions were really big and I could not save room for dessert (shocking for me), but I will be back again soon! Great food and great service. Small dining space but it looks as though they might be expanding soon? read more

Absolutely great food! Location is a bit out of the way, but worth the drive if you are in the area around Grayslake. The two gripes that I had were: 1) customer service and 2) prices. Customer service was fine, but the lady who took care of my carryout order was very emotionless and I was even considering asking if this had been a busy day, as she looked really tired. The prices have changed from some of the photos. The menu photos reflect older prices, and unfortunately, we did not check when placing an order. The prices are higher now. For some items, like a torta sandwich, the price is almost double. It would be great if they posted the latest prices on Yelp. Still giving it a 5 stars because the food was absolutely amazing and totally hit the spot for us. We ordered #1, the Birria Chan, and a torta sandwich. Definitely recommend this place, but check the prices before placing the order. read more

So so so good!!! Yes! Will go again! Will definitely try breakfast! I need to eat the menu!! It was absolutely delicious! The quality was really great but it's not cheap ($3+ for a taco) but definitely worth - you get what you pay for and extra yummy!! read more

Note that they told us they've been opening at 10:30 AM, not 8AM as posted on Yelp. They were kind enough to let us in at 9:30 and we had a great breakfast. They have coffee. They are honest - our server told us that one breakfast taco is usually enough for one person, that we could always order another if it wasn't, and she was right. The online order menu says they have crepes, but those were not on the menu in the restaurant. read more

Went here for the first time. My daughter wanted to try a birria taco. Food was great. Everything was tasty. Service a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry. I wish they had a combo taco dinner. You can only choose one meat choice for the dinners. If you want to try other flavors, you'd have to order everything a La Carte. A little pricey and they charge for chips and salsa. Would come back. read more

Very welcoming and very filling, this establishment won't hold back in its food offering and flavors they have, especially in its specialty, Birria. Despite nearly missing the building, this small eatery is what defines to be a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Grayslake, the rustic decor from various items such as Texan flags and cowboy hats to the sports bar feel, and even a WWE championship near the menu I'm not kidding you. The staff was more than friendly and patient, offering a home vibe as I visited with a few others. Even going as far as providing a sample of their consumption, which we didn't take for granted as it was a gamble that got us to stay and try. So how was the food? I got the Birria Torta (#3), while my colleagues had the #1- Quesabirrias. The taco quesadilla sensations come in packs of 6, so the value was enough to satiate them, while my Mexican sandwich had been delicious enough at its price. The only issue I can think of for my meal was the fact I requested no chipotle lime mayo be added, but that request alone had been ignored, so points of accuracy were docked. As for the tacos, the meat was very flavorful and packed a pleasant smoky taste, but the tortilla itself was lacking in quality. We wanted to love them more than what they were, but it was delicious nonetheless but not memorable enough that it would make us eager to return. 7.5/10- Good but not great. If you want to try a small spot, go for BEBE'S Quesabirria! While it wasn't a home run, it was a solid hit, and they have a wide variety of selections to choose from, whether you're new to the world of barbacoa or an expert in great Birria. read more

I was so excited, based on the reviews, to give this place a try. We showed up at 7:20pm on a Sunday and google said they closed at 8pm. Upon entry, we were met with an angry glare from a woman cleaning one of the rooms. We were seated quickly by a very friendly (she was the best part of our experience) waitress. Orders were taken but 1 thing on the kids' menu wasn't available because "they were about to close" so we had to order something else and all was well. Apps came out (birria egg rolls). They were good. 3.5/5 stars. Our food came out minus the meal for my son (which we had to ask for and was later comped). I honestly don't recall getting checked on during our meal. A very short time later, the angry lady cleaning came to me and said she can check us out because, again, they're ready to close (mind you, it wasn't even 8pm yet). She stood over me, did some calculations and gave me a total. I asked for a bill so I could review. She stood there some more and repeated that I needed to pay. I again asked for the receipt. She yelled back to someone asking for the print out asked me if we needed boxes (we were still eating). I was presented with the bill, paid. Not once were our drinks refreshed, nor were we asked if we wanted dessert. The food was just ok, and again, our waitress was very friendly, but the rest of the experience was not good. We will not be going back nor do we recommend. If you do, just don't go near closing time! read more

The ambiance was nice. There were some Mexican decorations when you go in with Christmas lights. You are also welcomed with Mexican music playing in the background. The food was decent. I was excited to try the Quessobirria because I read that it was the best someone has tried and it was great but it was a bit too heavy and a little bit greasy. If you like that, then this dish is perfect for you. The horchata was really good though. The food was a bit expensive for what it was. I kept on saying that it was really expensive as I was looking at the menu. Most Mexican restaurants also give free salsa and chips but in here, there was none of that and it was $10 for guacamole and chips which was a bit too steep. If you don't mind that then this would be a great restaurant to go to I had no problem with the service. In fact, it was fantastic. The lady that greeted me was very nice and kept on checking to make sure I was okay. Overall, 3.5/5 The service was great but the food was too expensive and a bit heavy. read more

I don't know what to make of this place, so I'm going to try my best. The tacos - 5 stars no question. They were absolutely delicious. Packed with flavor. And, still crispy when I got them home in my take out order. The thing that threw me was the cost. $75 for dinner for two people? We're talking two orders of tacos, rice and beans, and chips and salsa. That's insane. Especially considering the rice tasted from a pack or box, the beans from a can, and the salsa... Tostito's tastes fresher with more flavor. I was getting my prices from their online menu, so maybe they've changed them. But it would be great to update those online. I'll be back for the tacos, the difference is next time I'll ask the price when I place my order. read more

Everyone was so welcoming, I dined in. One of the workers came over to explain everything to us since it was our first time here. I was super excited to finally try these birria tacos.

Ridiculously good. My wife is from Texas and was homesick so we stopped by. The birria tacos had me halfway to a coma. The margaritas definitely helped.

We will be returning customers for sure! The food was so good! Our drinks were delicious and the owners were friendly and attentive. This place is small but cozy. We did not mind at all. The place makes you fell like you're in Texas. But not just Texas, but the valley of Texas. If you know you know. Intocable was even playing while we were there. We sat at the bar and watched baseball. The drinks were really good. My husband had a paloma and I just remember mine had whisky. I thought i took a picture of the drink menu. The drink selection was descent and not overwhelming. The food was so good. The meat was tender on the loaded fries. My lobster tacos were perfect and the chipotle sauce on them gave it the perfect kick. I also appreciated the size of the tacos. They were small but you got 4 with a cup of rice and beans. I had to take a breather to get thru my meal. My husband enjoyed his steak tacos as well. The food is heavy so you'll definitely walk out with a food coma and a smile. When you walk out there's a cowbell you can ring to let the staff know you enjoyed your meal. Cute touch!! read more
