Burnt ends are our faves but they usually run out by 6 pm. Mashed potatoes are creamy and heavenly. Ribs are fabulous. Also have a bar. They have almost 300 4.8 stars on Yelp.

This is our favorite for authentic Mexican. It is actually located inside of a small grocery store. Go to the deli in the back and order from the menu. Then get in line at the grocery store check out and pay. You can get takeout or there are about 10 tables to eat in. Great tacos and burritos. Also featured on the TV show “Chicago’s Best” and voted best tacos in Lake County.
