El Rey De Las Cemitas Y Tacos Poblanos - Round Lake Park, Illinois

We tried this place for the first time, because we were curious about the Tacos Arabes. I'm honestly not sure what kind of meat were on these particular tacos, but they also had avocado and cheese. The meat was dry though. This taco was served on a big flour tortilla. The portion was big, but I guess that makes sense, because this taco is $7. The Taco de Milanesa is a whopping $9.

I also tried the Tacos de Cabeza. The meat was not cabeza y unfortunately found two hairs in the meat.

Tacos come with radishes, sauces, limes and cucumbers on the side..so that appreciated.

Lastly, the horchata did not have a good satisfying taste.

Great food! Large portions. I did request sour cream for the quesadilla but they did not have, nor any mild salsa (and I’m not a big spicy eater) but loved the cucumber, radish and lime basket. Very authentic in my opinion and I visit “real life” Mexico often. Good job.

Really nasty food, attitude, no heat, lady said they don’t have coffee.
I’m from Puebla and I know what is a taco árabe, al pastor and cemita. This place is far to be a true poblano restaurant for cemitas and this taco it was supposed to be a taco árabe 😂😂😂 joke for 7 dollars.
Your tik tok looks like this is a really good place but is totally the opposite. What a shame.

This is the best authentic Mexican cuisine in lake county!! Everything is made fresh daily! The asada tacos are very flavorful and tender!!! This is the first Mexican restaurant ive been to that offers a palate cleanser with every meal. They are also 100% family owned. Their cemitas are to die for and I honestly stop in once a week for a meal! The staff is very welcoming and down to earth. I can’t compliment them enough 🙌🏾

Came here to try this new place out. On arrival, the parking lot was full and the parking spaces were very tight so you may circle around. Ordered a cemita de pollo milanesa to go, along with tacos de asada and cabeza. The cemita was ok with rajas instead of chipotle. I think chipotle would have been the better way to go but I don't think they even asked when I ordered. Overall decent cemita. Tacos asada have their unique árabe seasoning which is different but good. They provide enough meat in your tacos and provide salsas, which are mild, and limes. Would come back again for cemitas but with the chipotle option to redeem this place as their name suggests.

By far one of the best! Always clean and customer service is always top tier.

New local restaurant, very cute. Service was friendly. the food was great, the cemita de milanesa de pollo was great. They do throw on some spicy peppers, so look out for that, but the cemita is big and delicious.
