Eataco blends lively downtown charm with bold Mexican flavors—crispy fish, lamb carnitas, brisket and elotes frequently impress, alongside tasty margaritas and generous portions. The arty, clean interior and popular outdoor patio make it a friendly people-watching spot. Service is inconsistent: guests report slow or inattentive staff and occasional cleanliness issues. The menu is compact and prices can feel high for single tacos. Overall, a flavorful casual destination worth visiting if you don’t mind occasional service hiccups.
This was my second visit to Eataco, and I was eager for a good meal, especially since I fondly remembered the steak nachos from my last time. Unfortunately, we opted for the chicken nachos this visit, and they were disappointing. It seems the restaurant switched from their quality cheese to subpar nacho cheese. Additionally, the tables were dirty. When we asked our waiter to clean the table, he only gave it a half-hearted wipe, leaving it still grimy. Overall, I left feeling dissatisfied and won’t be returning.
Food is amazing such great portions. Service was absolutely great!! Andrea was helping us out when we went. She was attentive and friendly and made sure we had a great visit! I would come back for the service alone!
This place is less a restaurant and more a social space for the workers. The employees frequently gathered outside the building to talk, our waiter was more interested in flirting with the underage hostess, and some employees even had headphones in. If this is how management allows employees to act in front of the customer, I shudder to think about how they manage where customers can't see.
Best stake taco ever! Great people, amazing atmosphere and of course tacos! What else do you need? JJ and the rest of the staff are simply awesome! Highly recommend if you like Mexican food.
Eataco is a great downtown Northbrook Mexican restaurant located right on the corner of Shermer and Meadow road. I came across here, right after going to my favorite dentist on a nice sunny afternoon. They have a pretty nice outdoor seating area andpeople watching is great as you sip on some margarita and tacos. I went with the following: Crispy Fish which had wildcaught cod, pickled hibiscus cabbage slaw, lemon aioli, cilantro Beef brisket citrus marinated beef brisket, cheese, onion,cilantro, smoky pasilla salsa Lamb carnitas my favorite! It had michoacan simmering lamb, orange mango pickle slaw,cilantro Sadly, no complimentary chips, but the tacos did come with two bottles of hot sauce. I could never figure out which ishotter beforehand green or red. But beware, the red comes out fast.... and it's the hotter one! Service was good, food wasgreat, and overall experience... 4 stars! BATHROOM REVIEW: Located past the bar, you may not find it, as you have to go pastthe beaded curtain, which may be confused as the entrance to the staff area. In the mens, there is a urinal and toilet. Bothwere clean and in working order. They had one of them Dyson hand dyers too, that would blow off your skin, if you're notcareful. Just kidding. Sit or squat? Sit!
