    Delicious food. The enchiladas were wonderfully cheesy. Very generous with portions. I definitely will go back. It’s a small place, but they were attentive.

    Many places I been visiting around USA. This place the service it’s WOW. she’s friendly she know how to treat customers. Well here it’s the problem. A Mexican place with no soups. No coffee not even now on winter time. The food I ordered was good. Huevos rancheros. Please just add some soups to the menu and coffee. That’s very simple. Thanks

    Delicious food! Big portions. Lots of items on the menu. Friendly staff. It's our new family restaurant! Look forward to trying all the yummy items on the menu. The dinning area is small, the only bad thing. But we've not had to wait for a table. Really want to try the fried ice cream!

    Such great food, a sweet owner, and always consistent. I was even short once and she insisted on me taking the entire dinner when I was willing to pay A La Carte. Times are better now God Bless, but I always remember the DELISCIOUS Enchiladas, and the kindness. Carlos gets an A+ from this Chef of 24yrs!

    Tried Carlos's for the first time tonight. Ordered 3 Steak Tostadas with xtra lettuce and 6 Hardshell Steak tacos. Store was clean, staff was warm and friendly, and atmosphere is inviting. I Was acknowledged right when I walked in. I ordered to go and it was done PERFECT! The shells are obviously homemade and authentic. THEY ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. This place is so good it will be hard to go back to other places for Mexican Food in the Fox Lake area again. There simply isn't a close second. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and the price value almost makes it absurd. Unbelievably good. Oh and the sauce........... Off The Chain.

    5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stopped in Carlos Mexican Grill in fox lake today to grab a late lunch on my way back home. Fox Lake across from Thortons in the strip mall. Service was outstanding! I’ve heard complaints at other locations, not Fox Lake. Very helpful and patient. Restaurant was very clean. The empty tables were all ready for customers to come in to eat. Decent amount of parking for the strip mall. Menu is laid out nicely. Good variety. Prices are competitive depending on what you get. I didn’t notice anything extremely expensive or inexpensive. I think maybe their fajitas are priced lower than other restaurants in the area. I usually prefer to stay to eat fajitas so maybe next time. Food was not only delicious BUT FILLING! Omgshhhh… I ate half and had to take a nap to sleep 💤 off my full tummy! Not complaining because the other half was dinner. — eating lunch at Carlos Mexican Grill in fox lake.

    Hubby and I we're not expecting much after being disappointed at the 3 other Mexican restaurants near us, but we we're pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food!! Flautas were AMAZING and I have it on good authority the king steak burrito was excellent as well. We have found our go to Mexican restaurant!!

    I ordered the burrito dinner. Standard steak burrito with rice and beans and side of salsa Verde sauce. If you look up Carlos on Google the picture for their menu prices look affordable but when I got there it was totally different so they need to update that because the online prices are wrong. Other than that service was quick. The food was good but wasn't the best burrito I've had.
