There food is great for price but the experience I had today just ruined my thoughts about ever going back. The guy took my order today did not know how to multi task and huff and puffing when I ask for my receipt. Charge me twice for an item.

I love this place. During the summer, I ride my bike to Raul’s and eat the most delicious fish tacos on their outdoor patio. I would recommend basically anything on the menu.

No better Mexican food around!!! The prices are great and the food is consistently good. Obviously if your going for the restaurant décor go some where else. They’re also open super late on the weekends.

Just great food simple at quick. For a small burrito place you can’t beat the price or service.

Best cheap Mexican food in the area, burrito meal(burrito, beans and rice) runs around 7 buck.

Seriously the best beef tacos out there! I have lived 30min + away from this place my whole life and I still am there alllll the time. There house chips and salsa are yummy. I have had the beef tacos and tostadas and I have never diverted from that because they are THAT good. The guy up front is so sweet and it is a very relaxed whole in the wall kind of place.

This place is borderline amazing. The prices are absurdly low for the quality and service. I often stop by at night after work, and though you might expect that the food isn’t it’s freshest at 11:30 pm you’d be mistaken to assume that about this place. Just by reading the description I’d assume the burritos are not the way to go, and other reviewers seen to agree. However, the tortas are damn good and the value($ 4.75) can’t be beat. Tacos I have seen in the dining room look awesome as well. For those who claim they are small, those are authentic Mexican tacos and not super-sized American style. Green salsa is epic but has the potential to make you regret it the next day. The kids meal I ordered was a hefty portion for only $ 3.79, which included TWO tacos and fries. It would be nice to have rice and beans but my little guy loved it just as much. I always do carry out but make sure to drop a little dinero in the tip jar because the food is great, prepared to your liking and with respect for authenticity. Yeah, it looks dingy but believe me, when I go at night they are always scrubbing the place left and right. I won’t say how I know for brevity’s sake, but as a former manager, bartender, and current server with 7 years of experience, I can attest to the fact that this place is doing things right. Go for the food, not for the ambiance, but they do have a huge patio. If only they had pitchers of margaritas!!!

This place serves the best burrito’s ever in the state of IL. We drive almost 40 miles to enjoy the food at this place. They always serve with a smile on their face — the freshest food ever. I will strongly recommend anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Mexican food — do try out this place. Steak Burrito’s, Shrimp cocktail, Chicken burrito’s, and guacamole.

Small, simple place with great food! King burrito with steak was huge & delicious. Tried 4 different tacos, all of them delicious. Guacamole was on point, too. Good service, quick turnaround for take out. This will be our family’s go-to Mexican place.

It was good … not great, but good. I finished my burrito, but while eating it, I kept thinking about the giant burritos at El Famous. It’s worth a try though, maybe you’ll find it better.

A divey fast food Mexican place that has a kitchen open late on weekdays! I came here on a Monday night craving something yummy in my tummy. I ordered the nachos with steak and they were awesome in the cheap, terrible for you way. They even had the fake gooey cheese. Seriously they were exactly what I was craving after drinking.

I ordered a king steak burrito dinner, and a side order of guacamole. They charged me for guacamole and chips. Albeit, it was still cheap, I made it a point that it was just guac without chips, but they still charged me for it. The guac was okay. The beans and rice with the burrito dinner were really good, but the burrito was actually the most disgusting burrito I’ve ever had. I’m pretty sure it was 80% expired meat, 20% lettuce tossed with mayonnaise. I almost threw up. I just took the hit because if a simple steak burrito was nasty, chances are that all the burritos are the same. Everyone else enjoyed their food, but whatever. Total mistake.

Everything is good here! Burritos, tacos, horchata! The langua, carne asada, pork, fish, vegan and non vegan burritos in King and Queen sizes, mind you — delicious. Even down to the side sauces spicy and tomatillo. The service is quick and friendly. Although I prefer to eat at home. Not a fan of the melamine dishes. :)

I live in Wauconda and Raul’s(their alternate name) is my go– to place for great Mexican food. Their nachos with beef plate is huge and wonderful and requires 2 people(or 2 sittings) to finish. The interior seating is tight(cozy?) but I always take it home, so that’s not a consideration for me. Love their tacos, but their burritos are terrific, too! Highly recommended by me!

Great burrito place in Wauconda. The kind of gritty burrito joint I am used to in the city, but out here in the burbs! Steak burrito(king size) is my pick to click, my wife loves the Torta Milanesa. Open til 3am on Fri /Sat. Enough said.
That really hit the spot! I had 3 tacos for just under $ 6. If this place was close to home I would go there all the time. And they’re open later than the other place down the street! The building could use some updating. You need new ceiling tiles for sure, but the tacos were good. The chips and salsa were great. The salsa has a little kick!

I’m so torn on this review. I saw the high scores on Unilocal and decided to have lunch. The food was pretty good, plenty of variety, and served quickly. The prices are low and the portions are decent. Overall a great find except… The place is filthy though with bugs in the windowsills, water marks in the ceiling, and the kitchen looks cramped with too much going on. When I was there I saw a plate of food sitting on top where all of the cold items were kept. Flies and bugs were all around while I ate and I stared at the neon sign that had attracted many insects for who knows how long. Also, the lettuce was brown. I actually saw it before I ordered and hoped maybe it was just the light… it wasn’t. For reference, I know this isn’t the Four Seasons and really enjoy other Mexican places like this. I also enjoy gas station hot dogs and a good amount if fast food. All that to say, it was bad! I want this place to clean up because I really would enjoy coming back. Based on my past experience though, if you want to try it than get there fast before a health inspection shuts them down.

Their guacamole is amazing! I have tried all of their Taco dinners(e.g. steak, Ground Beef & Chicken) but their Chicken tacos are the best.

So far I have to say this is one of my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I love there steak tacos and there guacamole is excellent. I have had the chicken tacos as well and they are good also. My son gets the burrito and has little trouble putting it down. On a scale of 1 to 10 the guacamole is a 9. Much better than Chipotle.
