Tacos El Norte has several locations around Lake County - and I have been to nearly all of them. I live in a town which has probably over 100 mexican restraurants, and when my wife and I have a taste for mexican we visit Tacos El Norte 95% of the time (I still give others a shot to unseed the champ). They have a large selection of food - and you get large portions for your money. On Weekend nights they occationaly have live music via a marachi band. They also have a spot in Gurnee (and other locations).
Pros: fresh foods, friendly staff
Cons: can get busy
