Authentico - Lake Forest

It was an OK experience and food was alright. I give this location a 4 as they brought me a cheese enchilada when I ordered one with crabmeat originally. My waitress noticed and got me the one I ordered but had to wait a bit. Also during the meal, I had to wait for my water glass to be refilled and even then I had to ask but I was already done with my meal. They do take reservations which was nice.

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant! I have a gluten allergy and they are so accommodating. They’ll even bring gluten free chips if requested. We come so often that they remember and automatically bring the GF ones. Service is incredible, food is authentic, fresh and always delicious. Atmosphere is festive with cool decor. We highly recommend Authentico!

I ordered the enchiladas pulled barbocoa...super good! I also requested the chef to make me a whole keylime pie. That was super super good. Will definitely go back. It was a nice distance from Chicago but worth every distance!

Overall, a good dining experience. The atmosphere was moderate, but not too loud for a busy Friday night. The salsas with the chips are a bit mild, but okay. The entrees are a fair size and the prices aren’t bad. Service was friendly and quick. Minor complaints, but overall... somewhere that I would definitely go back to!

An awesome Mexican restuarant with top-notch service and well-prepared food that I feel is a step up from other places. Guacamole is nicely prepared with...
