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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
