I wish I had taken a few more photos. Think small fun local Chipotle style, but better. Pick tacos or burritos etc.. choose your protein and toppings. Not cheap at $15 for 3 tacos and a soda. It is downtown Lake Bluff though, so what do you expected. That rent isn’t cheap. I am not a fan of chipotle, but my family is. I want to take them here! It is so much better. Definitely stop in for a quick lunch. The place had a lot of people in and out so that’s a good sign too. I will be back. Not often, but when I’m in the area and want hard shell tacos this is where I will go. I agree with the owner’s reply about the prices. Given the quality of food and cost of location, it is reasonable. Just don’t be shocked by it.
We have been big fans of The Otherdoor until today. First off, no guac, at a taco place - they were out out of some salsas as well. Second, service: one person to serve and act as cashier. Third, the food has gotten skimpier and the flavor/quality has declined, significantly. We used to make a special trek to Lake Bluff to eat here, but now I don't think that will happen again. There are better options.
Friendly service, delicious food, and a nice atmosphere. The taco shells and chips are great.Food: 5/5
Incredible Crispy tacos had the ideal crunch, not too fatty. Guacamole was fresh and delicious I highly recommend
Always a great stop for a burrito or tacos! I love that they have vegetarian chorizo as an option instead of the usual tofu you see as a filling! Don't be too afraid of getting one of the spicier sauces, the flavors are great Vegetarian options: Vegetarian chorizo is a staple filling for those who want great flavor and texture without the meat. Parking: Good amount of street parking directly in front of the restaurant and around the corner if needed.
outdoor seating is in a great atmosphere in the summer. the food is alright, but the staff should be more energetic. couldn't hear anything they were saying and had to ask them to repeat virtually everything multiple times. couldn't get the clue that speaking louder would help. and they were asking redundant questions... I think some sdult supervision would go a long way. Dietary restrictions: clearly labeled GF options.
This used to be my FAVORITE spot to go to in Lake Bluff. Not anymore! The staff is all high school kids now who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. The meat quality has declined recently and I'm not sure if it is because of the poor staff or not. Needless to say until they hire some people who knows a thing or two about making food I won't be coming back. It really did used to be one of my favorites spots. Vegetarian options: They did Kid-friendliness: It is Dietary restrictions: They have lots of options
Today was our first visit to The OtherDoor and we shared three tacos, two were chicken and the third was brisket. We also ordered chips and pico de gallo. The chips and pico de Gallo were really tasty and worth visiting this restaurant for these alone. The chicken tacos were very tasty and also worth ordering g again. The brisket tacos….I would not order the brisket ever again. Coming from Texas, I’m very picky about brisket and this brisket was extremely fatty and not very flavorful at all. The restaurant is quite small with nice outdoor seating. The area where this restaurant is located is very nice, beautiful and comfortable and I do recommend The Other Door….just not the brisket.
Traded with Hubby so I had Duck, Steak, and Barbacoa with salsa #5 zippy, but not melt your innards hot. Amazing, complex, customizable flavor and food.
Really tasty taco bowls. Can pick ingredients. Combination of all ingredients like the protein cabbage cheese Pico de Gallo peppers and onions sour cream etc with one of ten salsas is really delicious. Will return.
