About Mijo's Authentic Mexican Food
Authentic Mexican cooking is the focus, with dishes modeled on Martina Gomez's home kitchen. Tamales became an early specialty after Martina placed third in a 2018 competition against established Lake County restaurants. The business began at Kenosha Public Market as a one-grill operation and later expanded through local festivals, private-event catering, Lake Villa, Six Flags Great America, and Fox Lake. Its name, mijo, means "my son" in Spanish and honors the Gomez family. Mijo's serves Fox Lake and draws on recipes associated with the family's home cooking. Catering services are available for private events, extending the restaurant's Mexican food beyond its regular locations.
