Top 5 Mexican Restaurant in Cook County

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I can't say enough about the unexpected surprise of delicious food, great service and a bar that is worthy of any urban location. When you walk in you think you've turned into a wonderland, it's very fun the way they've designed the space, however the husband and wife team who run the place care about a lot more than just the decor! We met the owner standing behind the bar and working alongside his team. He explained this is the second location, after outgrowing the first. It runs like a seasoned establishment and what you came there for... The food and drink, hit the mark! We tried the crab cake, an inventive play on the traditional, served with potatoes, it was delicious. We also enjoyed a panini and a crepe, both were delicious and just off the beaten path of what you would find nearby. Definitely a stop for a hungry family, a couple, or the birthday party of a kid. They are expanding their dinner menu so there's more to come. It's worth checking out the bar, they have a great selection of inventive cocktails and some absolutely delicious frozen milkshakes.... And yes you can get those boozy!! I don't work for and I wasn't paid by these guys, it was just an unexpectedly great experience!”

“Was hoping for an authentic asian cuisine taste like what I would get in Chinatown... I got siomai, beef, chicken fried rice and vegetable roll. Nice ambiance and set up however not the intensity of flavor I'm looking for. I like the vegetable spring roll and its sweet sauce tho. :) Also, I hope they just said the real waiting time so I can do other stuff close by and just come back to pick it up. 10minute wait became 25 sitting in the car.”

“The food was out of this world and the karaoke was the best. With both Spanish and English singing options, everyone has a good time. Bring your A game, the patrons put on quite a show! Friendly staff and customers, I had a great time!”

“The Server was friendly and attentive. When I mentioned I’ve tried to make the breeze cocktail I enjoyed at the restaurant, at home, she coached me on how to prepare it. We had the pepper jack stuffed tater tots and brisket pizza- both were delicious! It was a lovely dinner.”

“I am still thinking about the best dinner I had here a few weeks ago. I ordered the chips and salsa and the Korean BBQ Rice Bowl. So many good flavors! Turns out I have been snoozing on fried plantains? Tried them here and they were amazing. It was a Saturday night and there was a band playing nice background music. The restaurant was busy, but the food still came out quickly! Great vibes and great service, will definitely be back.”
