What Author Neva Squires-Rodriguez likes about El Puerto Mexicana Restaurant:
Excellent service, plenty of outdoor seating by the lake and ample food. Good food and drinks, great selection. One of my favorite Lakeside dining locations in Lake Country or Illinois for that matter. Did I say reasonable pricing? You’ve got to try them! View all feedback. What John Bishop doesn't like about El Puerto Mexicana Restaurant:
Love the outdoor seating on the lake. They offered 2 different steak burritos. One with a red sauce on it. My brother and I both ordered the regular burrito dinners but both got the red sauce on ours. It was ok but not a fan of the red sauce and the burrito itself was kinda bland. Other two with us enjoyed their meals pork tacos and chicken tamales they said was good. The outdoor seating is the best tho. View all feedback.

Great Lake view lots of boat slips. Marietta’s Oh My. And good food. Hard to beat. I even seen Sant Claus there.

Nestled by the serene lake, this restaurant offers a variety of delicious dishes perfect for any occasion. Diners can enjoy the outdoor seating while savoring dishes like pork tacos, chicken tamales, and steak nachos. The service is top-notch, with friendly and professional staff ensuring a positive experience every time. The drinks menu is also impressive, featuring excellent margaritas and other mixed drinks. With reasonable pricing and a beautiful ambiance, this is a must-try dining spot for anyone in Lake Country or Illinois. Whether arriving by car or boat, this establishment has something for everyone, making it a popular choice for locals and visitors alike.

Restaurant is located in a great place. The lake next to restaurant is perfect. However the food is not tasty. Still good for once a while visiting.
