El vado#2 Mexican restaurant 471 South Rand Road, Lake Zurich, IL 60047

"I decided to give a try at this new business in town! Joshua was super welcoming and got us chips and salsa to start off right away. And I had asked for an adjustment from the menu item, and he gladly did it and even gave a beautiful avocado rose. It was so beautiful to look at, which I happily enjoyed! Presentation, flavor everything was great! Their spicy sauces were amazing! I was a huge fan of the previous establishment "La Parroquia" and was eager to see how this new restaurant will be... definitely satisfied!! They have changed the furniture and decor to suit their brand and looks nice!"

"This place offers a more authentic, homemade style menu which typically is very appealing to me and my taste buds. Unfortunately, it didn't hit me in a way that would make it stand out when comparing it to all of the other mexican restaurants in town. Lets be real, Lake Zurich is becoming the Mecca of Mexican restaurants and El Vado#2 just didn't do anything for me to stand out. This is just MY opinion. I will certainly give it another try and adjust my rating if necessary. Otherwise, it wasn't memorable and just average."

"Great tacos! The meat is tender and the onion and cilantro are fresh. Service was pleasant and fast. Will check out their dessert menu next time!"

"Very good new Mexican restaurant in town! Food was authentic and delicious. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. Will definitely go back!"

"This place has some of the best carnitas I’ve ever had! The service was super friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. We will definitely be back."
