Top 5 Mexican Restaurant in Illinois

140 N Western Ave, Carpentersville, IL 60110, United States

“Fun place. Servers were very nice as was the owner. Cranberry margarita was awesome. We asked for their Diablo sauce so the owner came out to talk to us about it and to see if we enjoyed it. Both of us like very spicy things and so we very much did enjoy it. Our food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. And the portions are very large so bring your appetite or plan to take things home with you.”

“Long line at the drive thru- but I know why!! Yummmm! The line moved really quickly, a young man came out to each car and took a handwritten order. Prices fair, open late. Glad I went!”

“YUMMMMMM. That pretty much sums up our meal here. Since it was about 10:00 on a weekday, we were able to walk right in and be seated, but I can imagine this place is wildly popular on weekends and holidays. My much-needed coffee was excellent. We split the El Guero Omelette and the Strawberry French Toast, and both were delicious! I also loved the sunny vibe and the light filled interior, though the outdoor seating would be lovely on a pretty day. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Cute place and the food came out quick. Excited to come back over the summer to sit outside on the patio. Tacos were decent but I’m hopeful they will be a little less dry during the next visit! Drinks are tasty.”

“Exceptional. We attended Topolobambo for the first time for their Day of the Dead menu. From the service to the wine selection to the tasting menu, every aspect of the experience was phenomenal. We were thrilled to see Rick Bayless present and speaking with patrons. Some highlights for us were the Pipian and the (off menu surprise) machaca tacos. Highly recommended.”

“Great food and ambience. I brought my Grandma here and would recommend to friends/ family. The host & server were very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We were very hungry upon arrival, the portions were pretty good so we did not have enough room to share dessert. I would like to go back to try their pancakes/ french toast soon.”

2830 Adlai Stevenson Dr, Springfield, IL 62703, United States

“Authentic Mexican food in a bold, colorful and rustic space. Friendly service, but servers seemed spread thin. A wide variety of all the Mexican classics and some creative dishes. Spice level is present, so be sure to ask for no spicy toppings if that’s your preference. The rice is flavorful and delightful even on its own. A flavorful vegetarian section as well. Chips and drinks are refilled. Prices are very reasonable. Restrooms are well maintained.”

“CONSISTENTLY GREAT Flavor, Service, Prices, Portions and Family vibes and ambiance. This place always comes through, and be sure that I'll be back with friends...(pictured after we started eating because it looked And Tasted Too good to wait! haha) Oh! And the Aguas are like, WOW!!”

2030 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60618, United States

“First time dining. The food flavor profile for all the dishes was excellent. The lamb shank was tender, falling off the bone. Try the jamaica Palmer for a different take on the traditional Arnold Palmer. The Ribs were also tender but lacked that texture of eating them from the bone because of the tenderness. Only in my opinion. they are just a bit overpriced for just a half slab and corn. All in all, it was still an excellent meal and service. It's definitely a must visit.”

“Everything was good 😊 the only thing me and my man didn’t like was the shrimp appetizer But over all we would go back. 😋”

2506 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60614, United States

“Stopped in for an impromptu Sunday brunch and wow, we were blown away! Fun, lively atmosphere for a Sunday brunch. They have tons of breakfast cocktails and a $20 bottomless mimosa deal. We opted for the bloody Mary’s — their habanero Tahin rim was great. Ordered a few things to share. The Breakfast tacos were awesome and flavorful and don’t miss their homemade Quesabirria. We will be coming back.”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Fremont Chicago for Sunday brunch, and it was a truly delightful experience! As a vegan, I was initially concerned about the buffet offerings, but the chef went above and beyond to create some incredibly delicious vegan-friendly potato tacos that left me craving for more. The fact that the extra order came at no additional cost was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance at Fremont Chicago is undeniably lively and high-energy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Seated downstairs, I was able to enjoy my food and drinks in a cozy atmosphere. Later, I ventured upstairs and was blown away by the energetic dance floor – an absolute haven for those who enjoy mingling and dancing. The service at Fremont Chicago was exceptional from start to finish. The staff at the door, the servers, and the waitresses all contributed to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. A special shoutout to our server, Nicole, who made our experience feel like a gathering among friends rather than a typical dining affair. Her friendly demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. One thing to note is the dress code. While we followed the guidelines provided on the website, we observed a more lenient approach, maybe it was because it was Sunday... Overall, my visit to Fremont Chicago was an exceptional one. From the vegan creations to indulging in as many mimosas as I could handle, every aspect of the brunch was a hit. If you’re seeking a vibrant and energetic brunch spot with top-notch service, a lively atmosphere, and a chance to dance the day away, Fremont Chicago should definitely be on your list. Cheers to great food, great company, and a fantastic time!”

“Our first time eating at Grm City and the pizza was phenomenal! Hands down the best pizza in the tri-state area! The nostalgic feel of the dining area booths with jukeboxes added to the ambiance. We ordered a large, half All Meats and half Everything pizza. The dough, sauce, and even the sausage are all house made. The crust is thin, the way we like it. We won't be going anywhere else from now on!”

“We went here during the Wednesday happy hour, so 4-6pm. The Mexican beer on draft was strong. I believe it was the light wheat ale one. I had two of them and it was all I needed! The happy hour mussels definitely surprised me - they were …”

“These are some of the best steak tacos I've had. They season their meat well so the taco has a lot of flavor. This is a no frills experience, but you won't be disappointed with the quality of the food. I love to call ahead and order dinner and then pick it up.”

“the carnitas i ordered was literally half fat. there was so much fat on the pork it made it a bit nauseating to eat. the chips and salsa were fresh, and the service was fine; it's the fatty meat that gave it the low score.”
