I can’t even count how many times I try to snap a pic before we dive in, but these two dishes were worth the wait! The Aguachile Negra and Ceviche are absolute standouts—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. If you’re ever near Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, IL, do yourself a favor and stop by this spot. You won’t regret it!

We visited La Casa de Samuel on a whim, we were heading to the Genesee Theatre for a concert and needed a place to serve us quickly. We walked in to a packed house (theatre goers and locals) and asked if they could accommodate out time frame. They were very gracious, got us seated, served us chips and salsa (holy cow) and took our orders along with their recommendations! Hands down, the best Hispanic food I've ever had! Everything was fresh and quality ingredients. I had eggs an chorizo, and my wife had Sopes! Everything was fantastic. The best refried beans ever! We are looking for another chance to get back to La Casa de Samuel. We live in St. Louis and can't wait to get back to the Chicago area!

Great fajitas. I got the mixed (chicken, steak and shrimp) with corn tortilla. Warning...the green hot sauce is HOT and the red is FIRE! The table next to us got the boil so that will be next time for sure. The margarita was very tasty as well. Overall, if you are going to see a show at the Genesee, this could be a good choice for pre/post-show dinner.
