Al Jarrito Cafe

I've got to rave about my recent visit to Al Jarrito (ZABIHA HALAL) in Waukegan. This place is seriously a standout! I decided to sample a bit of everything, and let me tell you, it was worth it: the Sope, Tacos, Philly Steak, a Burger (and a real burger, not one of those smash versions!), and the Corn.

It recently opened and it’s easily one of the best new restaurants in the neighborhood. It’s a perfect fusion of American and Mexican flavors, and everything we tried was seriously delicious! We ordered the sope with steak, chicken, and potatoes, the texture of the masa (bread) was perfect. The tacos (we had steak and chicken) were also great, super flavorful, and you could tell the meat was high quality. Wings were amazing, crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside! The service was top-notch. The staff was super friendly, checked in with us, and really cared about how we were enjoying everything. They even asked for f
