I apologize for the delay in leaving a shining review for the local-owned Mexican-American venue but it was late December last year that we stopped in last.
I guess being a foodie, I’m all over the place and sadly I tend to forget greatness only a few minutes away from home sometimes. Before this trip here it was at least a couple of years dining in here and was missing it.
I really like both the traditional American breakfast and Mexican fare here. Dining area is always clean with friendly service servin’ up great food at still reasonable prices.
Hope to get back here soon, starting to get that craving again and always try my best to support local. Hope for continued success & prosperity for the owner(s).

The skillets and chilaquiles are delicious! My order is always ready within the timeframe they provide, which I really appreciate. I usually order carryout, and the ladies at the front are always sweet, friendly, and welcoming. Great service every time!

We were greeted immediately and sat down. Got chips salsa and nacho cheese. Food was absolutely amazing. Great homemade salsa. Horchata was amazing!!!!!! Steak was tender and seasoned perfectly!!!! My daughters ate all of their food and started eating mine, which was rare! Definitely coming back to try more dishes!!!

Everything was excellent again!!! Ordered two scrambled eggs and the beef taco salad. I combined them to make myself a breakfast beef taco salad.
Excellent food and very reasonably priced. Taco Salad was very flavorful!!!

Food was bland, fries are just like mcdonald’s fries, cilantro and onions taste off, and one of the waitresses loves to talk bad about other restaurants which ruined my experience. everytime she sat someone down she would tell them not to go to certain places and proceeded to gossip like a teenager with customers. very unprofessional. never coming here again, or recommending.

I feel like this place now owes me stars because I had to give it one. The cheese is from a can, the meat for the taco salad was unseasoned and turned. The chicken wings were served frozen and the breading was doughy. This was the worst experience one can have at any restaurant. It has made me fearful of all other Mexican restaurants in the area.

I go there for the breakfasts, my wife loves the soups. The skillets are fantastic, I’ve eaten at almost every restaurant in Waukegan, Zion, and Kenosha. And quite a few in Libertyville and Racine. El Lago stands Head and shoulders above almost all of the restaurants I’ve eaten at as far as breakfasts go. Their skillets have amazing flavor, and, I will share this. I had gotten an emergency call to pick up our granddaughter right after we ordered food. My wife stayed, I had to leave and get her, I came back an hour later. They made me a whole new breakfast because mine was cold. At no charge! They didn’t have to, but they did. That sold me on them forever.

I’ve been going to El Lago for about 20 years, since I was a kid. They are simply the best! Everyone is super friendly and familiar. The food is delicious! It’s always hard to choose what to get when my family goes because there’s so many tasty options. We love El Lago and that will never change.
