I’ve been here a few times now and every visit has been amazing. This is a perfect place for celebrations, a girls night out, or to just enjoy great food. The Pork Belly and Taquitos are my favorite appetizers, and the Golden 24k Salad with shrimp is perfect. I have also come for brunch a few times and tried the Menudo (perfect for this winter time) and the 24k Pancakes. The portion sizes reflect the price, I can often take my leftovers home for a second meal.
This is a wonderful addition to Lake County, it saves us a trip to Chicago but still brings the same big energy and entertainment you would find there. It is definitely worth a try, even if it’s just to split appetizers and have a pretty drink. 🙂

I am glad that Waukegan is having more nice places to go out and have a nice dinner we love the tártar de tuna and berries, the arrachera, the wings, the salmon, and for the sweets I am pretty sure that you gotta love the Ice cream tour….. Everything that you order here is delicious, you cant go wrong with any of the food!!!!
Absolutly we will be there soon

Amazing. Some of the best food I’ve eaten. The salmon was perfect. Everything we had was cooked well and seasoned wonderfully. Very attentive to our needs.
The best way to put it is that the food tasted as good as the restaurant looked. See the pictures! The cocktails were also lovely and enjoyable.

The restaurant decor ,was amazing and the customer service was excellent. La Toxica drink was amazing so flavorful and unique, definitely a must try. The drinks are definitely the strong point here.
For food, we ordered the tinga taquitos, guacamole pork belly, risotto & pulpo a la Padilla, arrachera, aguachile chuparosa and surf & turf. While the presentation was nice, I found the flavors a little underwhelming. The guacamole had too much lime, and almost every dish seemed to come with red onions, which become a bit repetitive. I was especially disappointed with the arrachera I was expecting a richer bolder flavor.
Overall, fantastic service and drinks but the food didn’t live up to the same level. With some adjustments to seasoning and flavor balance, this place could really shine.

Great experience and service. This isn’t your mama’s taco joint. Be expected.to pay…especially for the drinks. Food was flavorful and nice presentation. I had the skirt steak and my wife had salmon with pork belly appetizer. Will be back.

Very unique and delicious flavor combinations! The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed, like an elegant party. We had the Mexican Hummus, which you MUST try. It was fabulous! Steaks were cooked perfectly and the turnip puree was to die for. The pumpkin crème brûlée was scrumptious. Service was attentive and the food came out fast, despite being busy.

My sister and I went recently and it was definitely an experience. The drinks were beautiful and most importantly were really good. Food had a wow factor from the flavor to the dessert coming out with a whole SHOW! It is a bit expensive but I was not mad because of all the details into the experience. Thank you to our server Yesenia for the service.

Walked into the restaurant at 5:52pm. Was seated right away. At exactly 6pm a waitress came to my table and introduced herself and took my drink order. She returned to my table at 6:07 to take my food order(drink has not gotten to my table yet). 6:11 drink was finally brought to my table along with some bread and butter. Bread was very oily but still tasted ok. Food was brought out at 6:14pm. Presentation was really nice. Risotto was cooked perfectly along with the octopus. Finished my dinner around 6:25. Waitress came to check how everything was and asked if I would like to order dessert. I ordered my dessert at 6:27. My dessert was brought out to my table at 6:40. Overall was a good experience and the food was very good.
