8. La Malinche Bar and Grill

First visit - an okay choice for lunch. In many towns, La Malinche would stand out from the crowd, however, in Lake Zurich there are a lot of good dining options. I would probably go back. Service was friendly and prompt. The chips and salsa were a good start - I especially liked the pickled jalapenos and onions. I had a signature steak dish served in a sizzling lava bowl. Entrée was well proportioned and different from typical Mexican meals. Casual, lower midrange.

This meal was amazing!! Fresh and modern take on Mexican Food. Portions are generous, the food delicious, and the staff is hard working and friendly! This new restaurant in Lake Zurich is tucked in a strip mall. Do not be fooled! It is a great dining experience! My husband and I canât wait to go back! This is going to be a regular spot for us!

We have been going to Carlos âRiver Side Café ever since it opened and known him since he worked at the Wauconda Café and always gave great reviews. A few years ago, Râ¦. came into the picture...and now she manages the place. She was recognizable by cool white -rimmed glasses she normally wore. She was always very nice, albeit business -like...we liked her. On our last visit we ordered what we have been ordering here for breakfast for over 15 years: Chilaquiles. We were served an order clearly smaller than usual and without the normal shredded lettuce and sour cream. We politely mentioned this to R...., expecting her to correct the situation. Instead she became very annoyed and said the portions were normal (even though it was obvious they were not) and that they never included lettuce and sour cream at breakfast (even though for over 15 years they had!). Then when were given our bill we noticed that we were charged $2 for the second portion of âfreeâ salsa we ordered because our meal had not come yet (even though there was only one other occupied table at the time and they never ever had done this before in the over 15 years we had been customers). She informed us that this was a new policy. I politely pointed out that they should have informed us at the time we requested the salsa and requested she drop the charge. She became more annoyed and rudely refused. This is not the Râ¦. we used to know and hope she seeks some helpâ¦. until then we plan to never go back to a place where we are so poorly and rudely treated by management.

Those are redeemed frequent diner cards, folks, representing -- I assume --lots of happy customers.Don't delay -- you can be a happy Cuco's customer too.

4. El Norteno
Reviewed By SCauwels
My family enjoyed tortas and tacos and enchiladas with dark mole and a torta. Each person commented on how good the chicken and pork were. First it was moist and then flavorful. Chorizo was not our favorite and the steak could use more charting or marinade. We will likely come again!

From the outside it looks like a wine and alcohol shop. It has a very small sign in front of it for the restaurant. Sometimes it is hard to notice.It has a strange setting. A few nice tables for food, a cooler for all types of alcohols. and restaurant.Our food was plentiful, and delicious.

If you are a fan of mexican food, this place might be the right one-after my visit, I definitely will not become a fan.Simple dishes-fastfood, not at all tasty and the whole place was not very tidy.

We're are picky Mexican food snobs. (Have lived in Texas most of our lives) I cannot rate the restaurant on Eat-in facilities, although I'd imagine it would be a fine experience. The food, in a take out mode is excellent! We've ordered just about everything on the menu, from fish tacos, to tortas, to beef burritos, etc. Everything is excellent, every time, and the price point is right on. We also love Tacos El Norte in Lake Zurich, and the food at Raul's compares, quality wise.
