Lily’s

mexican food as good as it gets!!! a quaint family owned restaurant.
the staff is mostly family members and feels like your in gloria’s (the owner)
kitchen at her home!!!

Steak burrito and steak fajitas were very good and so were the margaritas! We’d eat here again.

Great service, nice staff. Glad this spot is practically in our backyard. Moved to HE from Des Plaines where we had a lot of Mexican restaurants to choose from. This place reminds me of our old neighborhood. Just missin the churros! Hubs had steak torta and fries, I had 3 tacos, and horchata, oh and fried ice cream for dessert. It’s legit fried not just rolled in cereal flakes.

Lily’s is great. The food is always good. We pick up every few weeks from here. I have two small kids and with it being winter, it takes longer to get them in and out of the car than to actually pick up and pay for the food. Lily is great and always lets me call when I’m in front and she brings the food out to us. Such an added bonus!

Very good! I highly recommend. The Chiles Reyenos are delish! My Mom loved the Chicken Enchiladas. My brother said the Shrimp Tacos were fantastic. Nachos were loved by all. The verde salsa is so good! Staff is super nice and offer outstanding customer service. I look forward to eating at Lily’s again soon!

This place was no good!!! They short you on meat, they get mad if you order your food the way you want it so they’re not pleasing the customers I suggest never to eat here for good food, I knows better Mexican restaurants out there I will never return. And you got to watch it they will try to overcharge you with the old register there using. Not a good place!

Was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the Mexican cuisine was at Lillys. We are new to the area have been looking for a Mexican restaurant and saw a few reviews on Unilocal and decided to try Lillys. While everyone was raving about the shrimp tacos we went with our favorites of chili rellenos and enchilada’s and was pleasantly surprised to find they were as good as our favorite place in the city!
We polished off a pitcher of margaritas which were yummy and while the wait staff was extremely friendly they were on the tad of the slow side however everyone in the place seems to know each other and we hope to return and be part of the family as well!

Every time I come they have always been nice to me and the food is always really good and reasonably priced. I def recommends them for a good Mexican restaurant here in Hoffman estates

So. Like I said… I would give them another chance.
I’ve been back several times and on my way to pick up shrimp tacos.
Things got better. The shrimp tacos are amazing and ALWAYS on point.
Owners are super sweet. It has become my go to spot for shrimp tacos!

An okey-​ish place. Shrimp tacos were good. Not the best ever, but worth mentioning. The place itself needs a bit cleaning, and service to pick up even if i’m the last customer…

Went to this restaurant for lunch last week. While walking inside the place, I was positively surprised by how nice and friendly it looked. The interior is small, very colorful, I loved the decoration.
We got served quite slowly, and even though the food was good, nothing made it exceptional.

Best Mexican food around!!! Absolutely love this place! And the owners are the friendliest, sweetest people!

Sorry to say that I was not impressed by the food. It seemed that they were short staffed on the day that we went and they weren’t that attentive. Super slow service.

I just dropped by this place. First off, it’s really a colorful place, fairly small but a good size for a family establishment. I was greeted with nachos n salsa — really fresh and pretty good. Ordered myself 3 shrimp tacos and it was really fresh and delicious. Really badly wanted to try the FLAN or the Fried Ice cream but then I didn’t have space in my tummy nor the time. Staff were pretty friendly too.

Excellent Mexican! We loved the food. Definitely would come back. Steak tacos were great !

Great food, small family owned restaurant. I have tried much of the menu and have yet to walk away disappointed. Would definitely suggest this place.

I was looking for a place with shrimp tacos and this place was close to my work omg prob the best I’ve ever had they’re rice and beans are delish I love their guacamole and green hot sauce I ate every bite and will definitely be returning!

I’ve only ordered the tacos from here so far, but they’ve always been really good and authentic. no crap tacos with flour tortillas and cheese… yuck! the al pastor, carne asada and shrimp tacos are really good, just make sure you ask for them mexican style with just cilantro and onion.
the waitresses are always really nice to me as well and service is always great. kind of a small place to eat at, but I normally order to go so not a huge deal for me.

Same atmosphere.
The food is a more regular, and the servers are WAY better. The experience was much better.

We really live to visit local restaurants. But, our last two experiences at Lili’s have just not been great.
When we arrived for a good meal and some yelled from behind the bar, «sit wherever you want», we knew something was not quite right. Typically, Lili greets you at the door and happily seats you. Well, not this time around.
In my last review of Lili’s (I think there are three or four), I criticized both the service and the food. Unfortunately, this visit was no better.
I will say that the steak in the burrito was very tasty. Other than that, the tortilla was soggy, the rice bland and the refried beans seemed to be puréed and a little heavy on the lard. My wife had a tostada with similar comments.
There are plenty of family owned Mexican restaurants around Schaumburg ranging from simple taquerias to more elegant restaurants. I have placed Lili’s on the upper end of that scale in the past.
Aside from being convenient to our home, clean and warm, our recent experiences have changed our opinion.
Sorry Lili.
