1. Yolo Mexican Eatery

Spotted this little restaurant when visiting the yoga studio across the street. Read the menu in the window and was impressed by the sophistication of the offerings. It didn't take long to persuade my husband to stop in for a meal on a Saturday night. We were lucky to get a table for two without a reservation, as the place holds only seven tables and three more outdoors. Would recommend making a reservation. We extremely enjoyed our choices of mushroom tacos and chicken mole tacos. The mole was deep, earthy and not sweet as many other places seem to favor. My entree of Camarones Ixtapa, a shrimp dish, was good, but not as good as the tacos. The side of beans my husband ordered were pretty straight forward. Not sure if Yolo's tortillas are home made, but they sure tasted like it. And so wonderfully fresh. My husband is Mexican-American and really loved the food overall here, as did I. Tasteful decor. Special place to bring an out-of-town guest. By the way, Yolo is short for the native Mexican language (Nahautl) word "Yolotl," meaning "heart."

Eleven of us to celebrate two birthdays. Ages 10-82. Rebecca did a nice job of serving. An initial problem with poor seating arrangement and location, after booking with precise description. Objected. Promptly relocated to more intimate, non-confined location.Food was very good. No complaints. Mostly favorable comments. Orders:Tostadas steak, enchiladas dinner, kids flautas, fajitas vegatarianas, pollo borracho, kids tacos/lechuga, carne tampiquena,, taqiza d cameron (eh! popcorn shrimp used), fajita combo with extra veggie and tilapia rellena de cangre. satisfied the vegetarian diners and the carnivores as well as kids. "Suggested" gratuity of 20% explicitly added to total. Avg. cost $22 plus (included two margaritas.) Had a lot of fun. .Sombreros and "happy birthday" singing. So far this is the best Mexican restaurant discovered on the North Shore. Friendly Mexican atmosphere, well attended and busy.

3. Tacos Gingi
Reviewed By illinoistravelere
Since this is a carry-out place, I'm pleased to report that it's a 14-minute trip door to door, with the prevailing winds at my back.The food was plenty warm when I got home. In fact, it was warmer than some sit-down restaurant food that I was served last week, that came out of the kitchen cold. (I am holding off on that review because I don't want to write while my CO level -- customer outrage level -- is still high.)Okay, rant over. Back to Tacos Gingi. So far ("so far" is code for I'm going back), I have tried the guac and chips, fish tacos, chicken al pastor burrito, and carne asada burrito. All very good. I especially liked the al pastor, which is marinated in guajillo salsa with pineapple, cilantro, and onion.The red house sauce is a tad spicy for me, but the green one works nicely.It's a tiny place with four stools at the window counter. There's nothing resembling a table -- which I heard the owner tell a disappointed customer while I was waiting for an order.The location is next to the Shell Gas Station at Gross Point Road on the north side of Dempster. There is parking along the side of the building.
4. El Sol Restaurant
Reviewed By 976stevek
I've eaten at El Sol several times recently, taking advantage of both their lunch buffet as well as ordering from their menu. The food has been fresh and flavorful and nicely presented. Their buffet includes a nice salad buffet, several entries, soup, rice, beans, potatoes and vegetables, and fruit and flan. All good and at the right temperature. The service is personal as they are very interested in your satisfaction. The ambiance is very comfortable and open so conversations at normal levels are possible. I've only been here for lunches so I don't know if dinner time is noiser. I like this restaurant and recommend it. My only minor criticism is that there are no labels identifying the buffet items or salad dressings. When asked, they are happy to tell you so don't be shy.
