Mexican favorites in the heart of Fox Lake.
Mijo's grew from Martina's recipes and Ivan “Zo” Gomez's belief that more people should taste them. Markets, festivals and catering built the following; Fox Lake gave it a permanent home.
The menu makes it easy to find your own rhythm. Start with chips and guacamole or elote ribs, build tacos, quesadillas, a torta or burrito with your preferred protein, or settle into a larger plate such as fajitas, tampiqueña or a barbacoa bowl.
Whether you are meeting friends before the weekend, bringing the family to dinner or calling in tacos to go, every current dish, description and price is available as searchable text on this site.

We have followed Mijo's since the brewery days. The drinks are top notch and the protein options—especially the chickpea tacos—stand out.
The campechano tacos and barbacoa noodle bowl were exceptional, the margaritas were hand-shaken and the staff could not have been kinder.
