Tacos EL Norte In Round Lake Beach

Food was decent. Overall kind of seems like all the restaurants in the area have the exact same menu. Got to switch up a bit. Food : 3/5 | Service : 3/5 | Atmosphere : 3/5 … More

After a bad experience at another location, I was hoping for a better one here. I got worse. Service was subpar and the decor of the restaurant is best described as passive-aggressive: consisting of many strange mantras about family and negative criticisms about various things. The food was insultingly bad. Our chips were stale (not to mention that we also had to pay for them) and we never had our drinks refilled. My torta de lengua was basically a mush sandwich containing more cheese than meat. I ordered a taco al pastor and the meat was dry and very tough, almost like it had been sitting on a cold stove all day. A family member ordered the shrimp soup which was very salty and lacking in flavor. The only dish that our group agreed acceptable was the mole enchiladas which were surprisingly ok. I’m not sure how this establishment is maintaining such good reviews, there are many other Mexican restaurants in the area that will offer higher quality food and service. Don’t waste your money

Food is great, service is great and wait staff is very attentive. We had a dinner there to celebrate a birthday and had a table of 22 people. We are very happy with everything from food, to service, to pricing. Highly recommend!
