Truly a gem in Vernon Hills! I stopped by last night with my husband to have dinner. We are still raving about how the delicious the food was and how amazing the service was. We ordered guacamole and chips as our appetizer and the taco dinner plate with their shrimp and fish tacos for our entree and these were 10/10. The owner is such sweetheart and was extremely attentive. Can’t wait to be back! Gracias :)
