Tacos El Norte - Lake Zurich

Always a great meal at Tacos El Norte! Love the Steak torpedo tacos and burritos. Tasty authentic salsa and the wait staff provide friendly and fast service. Checkout their specials. I have had their shrimp and bacon tacos and they are devine!

We arrived just before the dinner rush it gets packed! They really rush you out; as we left we saw a lot of people waiting for tables. Half of our dishes came out immediately but was room temperature (rice, meat in the tacos the simpler dishes) while the fancier dishes came out *much* later and were piping hot (chile relleno). I wish they waited on making the faster dishes until they finished the other ones. With that being said, the food was very delicious. Tongue torta, chile relleno, steak gordita, chimichanga, excellent.

The parking lot was full, with a steady stream of people entering the restaurant. However, that didn't pose an issue, as the restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine. Tables were cleared and set promptly, guests were seated quickly, and our server was attentive. The food arrived in no time and all the ingredients were fresh, resulting in a delicious dinner. We look forward to returning soon.

I've visited this restaurant several times, and it's finally time to share my thoughts. This place offers top-notch food; it's definitely not a hole in the wall—more of a sit-down dining experience. The quality of the meat is excellent, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. The prices are comparable to many other establishments, and I had a burrito dinner that cost around $16 or $17, which was just a dollar more for steak than the other options. If you haven't been to Tacos El Norte and you're in the area, I highly recommend checking it out. The green salsa is fantastic, while the dark red salsa packs quite a punch. They also offer Coca Cola Chicken, which is cooked in a spicy sauce, and their chimichangas are good, albeit a bit on the heavy side. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends.

I made a straightforward choice and couldn't be happier. The service was quick, and the food was absolutely delicious. My server was really friendly, too. I noticed that the restaurant was clean and inviting, with proper spacing for safety, and the staff wore masks. Thank you!
