Reviews for El Norteño in Island Lake, IL
Decent place but we personally had better. First time visiting...so when we walked in we waited to be informed if we choose our... seats or they seat us. Waitresses saw us but didn't acknowledge us. We chose our seats and it took awhile to be attendedto. Food was alright. I ordered mole verde steak enchiladas that came with rice, beans, and little salad (with diced tomatoesand a dollap of sour cream). There was something off with my steak. Other person ordered chicken burrito dinner, she enjoyed hermeal. *Prices: Burrito Dinner $11.24; Enchiladas (Mole Verde) $10.94 +$1 for Steak (choice of steal, ribeye with grilledonions, or tongue) Read more
I hate Taco Bell but it?s seriously better than this place that has no flavor ! I had to drown my meal in hot sauce just to be... able to eat it! Definitely by far some of the worst Mexican food I?ve had ! If you like bland Mexican food and really reallychewy steak with bad taco shells than look no further ! Spent 60$ for 3 people for nobody to enjoy the food ! ORDER SOPHIA?SREASTURANT down the street it blows this place out of the water? Read more
Honestly it was nice here, the food was good and the service was good for how many people there was, we got our food like an... hour later. It was cold but good for what it was there was like no rice I guess so instead they gave us fries. But we satoutside and it was nice :) Read more
This restaurant was packed which should tell you how good the food is. Our order took a little bit longer because of patrons... visiting the establishment, but was well worth the wait. Salsa and chips are served when you are seated and if you finish themyou can get more.The margaritas are very well made and taste great. They also have a good variety of Mexican beers that you canenjoy with your meal. The food was served hot and very delicious. Pricing is average for Mexican restaurants. Read more
Food is delicious, authentic at a reasonable price. They offer all the main mexican dishes. This was my second time there, and... look forward to their outdoor patio in the summer. Read more

I can't even begin. This is the "holy grail" of Mexican food. Everything is outstanding. They are busy for a reason. This place... is AMAZING! Read more
Online ordering is nice, food is always ready on time and notification by text. Tacos are very good, and sauce is just the right... spiciness level for me. Coca Cola chicken is my favorite, but Al Pastor, and steak tacos also really good. Only non-positive isthat it's a little pricy, but worth it. Read more
