    Clearly has the most unique Mexican menu with a ton of variety you’ll ever experience. The support staff give you water as well as lots of chips and 2 types of salsa right away. Food quality is very good. Yet my lobster tostadas were not too flavorful. Their temperature was not hot neither, and extremely high priced for just two tostadas. My girlfriend enjoyed her dish very much. Offered excellent variety of margaritas. Both of ours were very flavorful. I got the North Shore. Our server was excellent. Yet, took awhile to get out margaritas. The kitchen delivers all food to table and took them forever to give us our tortilla soups. And he first brought them to the wrong table. I had to wave him down. Overall we enjoy going to Authentico, and we’ll go back.

    The food is always great. Well prepared and professionally presented. Our server, Isabelle, was excellent. She knew the menu and was able to explain the ingredients in the dishes to us. She made recommendations when asked and her suggestions were on target. We always enjoy our meals at this restaurant. Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Great place for a holiday meal.

    This was our first visit and it was outstanding! We arrived early for our reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter was excellent, charming and very helpful. The food was unique, in our experience, beautifully presented, and delicious! Wait staff was attentive without being a distraction. It was the best local dining experience we have had in years and we can’t wait to return.

Discover Lake Forest

Home to many technological startups, Lake Forest is located in the affluent suburban area north of Chicago. Thin crust pizza with a light, crispy texture is a favorite in the neighborhood. Lake Forest features many Italian restaurants that serve this type of dish as well as meatball subs and more. Mexican food is also prominent in Lake Forest. On South Street, you can find Mexican restaurants that have outdoor patios for the summertime. Consume some spicy tamales right along the lakeside for a thrilling experience. In the downtown area, smaller bistros complement these full-scale restaurants, combining fresh, farm-to-table dinner menus with pastries and snacks to go.
