“Visiting my son and he suggested this “place for tacos”. Well it was way beyond tacos. This is a jewel of a place literally hidden in south suburban Chicago. The chef is adventurous and he goes way beyond traditional Mexican fare. We had an amazing mussels in chipotle sauce, that you will want extra bread for dipping. My son had a massive salmon burrito. He said the salmon was cooked to perfection. The chefs special was a four cheese ravioli with crawfish and a delicious sauce. Again, not your typical Mexican dish but terrific.The place was sadly deserted on a Tuesday night. I hope people check it out as it deserves love.“

“I catered Mely’s for my rehearsal dinner and it was all delicious! We got steak and chicken for tacos, rice and LOTS of tamales! Way more than enough food to go around! Cannot recommend them enough!“

“First time visiting and I ordered Al Pastor tacos, Chorizo sope and a quesadilla for the kid. Kid like it and mom approves ??Authentic Mexican food flavors and some of the BEST Al pastor I have ever eaten. Service was very nice when I ordered, restaurant looks and smells clean. What a Gem!“

“Absolutely delicious food!!! Great atmosphere. Excellent service. I am a tough food and service critic having worked tourism for 17 years. Seems so quaint and small on the outside, yet you walk in and wow! I came in for a burrito to go and ended up staying for hours. Excellent service, food, and company from the bar tender. I am now a fan and will always return.“

“Came to S2 today for the jerk Turkey legs!! We love this meal so much! I’m also trying their red velvet cheesecake“

“One of the best in Chicago heights! Me and my husband have lived in the area for 5 years and have pretty much tried every Mexican food spot- this is definitely one of the best. Great customer service and the food came out very hot and tasty“

“This place, what can I say that would give it justice? I am a truck driver along with my wife and daughter in the truck with me. We are parked over night and wanted something other than junk food. Gracie's was suggested by one of the workers at the Petro/TA and I told my wife about it. She being from Chihuahua Mexico and was Leary about Northern Mexican restaurants. We went, we are, we lived this place. When we walked in, we were treated with warmth by the ambiance of the place. Small, joyful and filled with love. The seating was close and personal, but very comfortable. I ordered the Taco el pastor with rice and beans. My wife ordered the Chile rellenos with rice and beans, my daughter ordered the Cecina which was seasoned flank steak with sides of beans and rice. I left full and satisfied, my wife ate her entire Chili and was reminded of her home. My daughter couldn't get enough and was trying to continue to eat, even after we boxed it up to leave. The only thing I would say bad about this place is, the stationary chairs aren't made for bigger people, but still I give this place a 5 star review. Thank you for the great food and the ever lasting memories.“

“This taco truck did not miss! We both ordered tacos 2 different types and the flavor was there for both. I was delighted by the filling for the veggie tacos: beans, rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream, cheese and avocado. So delicious I really appreciated the freshness of the veggies. My co worker had steak tacos and a chicken quesadilla. I’ve never seen a more meat filled quesadilla. He said it had excellent flavor. We both are visitors at Ford and typically don’t have time to eat. Seeing the taco truck and learning of its popularity we were so happy to try it. This truck is well worth it, what you get for the price is flavor and value.“

“The Birria Tacos Are So Good...“

“Man these Tacos and Tortas are the best. Every time I am in the South suburbs I come here to grab some. They are cash only so come with cash. The guy's been working here forever. They just recently repainted and remodeled just a little bit. The food is the same from years ago when I was coming here. I'm glad they're back open“

“We went on a taco tryout trip and ordered steak and veggie tacos from five different places in the Chicago Heights area. La Fonditas was picked #1 by all 4 people in my group, one of which was a vegetarian. Best taco I have had in YEARS! So good we went back later that night and tried other items in the menu. All of which were just as good. This will definitely be our go to place fir Mexican food.“

“I have not been here in 5 yrs no longer in Illinois..small neighborhood store with the beat tamels & carnitas ever and I've had a lot of carnitas..they only have them on Saturday & Sunday but worth the wait..the meat & masa ratio is perfect..the carnitas definitely the bestMessage to the cook..Keep up the good work..I will be back...OH yes like everything else the price has gone up to 8.99 a lb...but my craving was satisfied after 5 years it was worth it??“

“I have lived here in the heights for many years and this is the first time I have eaten here and let me tell you, this restaurant is one of the best Mexican restaurant ever..The waitress I had was named Julie, she pleasant and courteous. My order came very quickly and the food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back here for sure on the weekend to try the homemade tortillas. I give million star rating.“

“The place isn't fancy - has a "hole in the wall" vibe with only two tables, but the food was fantastic. Their steak was cut super thin which kept it moist and crunchy. I had the taco meal with a steak/chorizo taco, pastor, and a beef tongue and they were all flavorful, perfectly cooked, and delicious. My friend had the chiles relenos and he also commended this dish. The salsa verde was some of the best I've had, and I've traveled in Mexico a fair bit. If you're in the area and want a delicious and affordable meal, this is worth a stop. And the folks there were super nice!“

“Love this place. They have all the yummy treats from sweet to spicy! The owner is so so kind! Always makes his customers feel welcomed. Small spot, has a few seats but definitely more of a stop and go. Besides that I love coming here for a nice snack.“

“This place is the best! Their elotes, mangonadas, and diablitos are amazing. My family and I go here whenever we can and they never disappoint. The family that owns this business are also very good people that will treat you right every time you come in. Highly recommend!“

“I'm so happy I saw this place. I placed my order on the phone, was ready super quickly. $29 and change for Nachos with beef, Carne Asada burrito dinner plate, and chicken taco dinner!? Very decently priced for the amount of food! Husband is not a fan of nachos with melted cheese (prefers nacho cheese) but with these he said they were seasoned really good he ate almost half and got really full. Now! The burrito! Bring an appetite! Filled to the BRIM. Not many places do that anymore. I will definitely be visiting again. Please don't change!“

“Tony and Good wife Gloria and their amazing server Hugo are so genuine and kind!They deserve 5-Stars every time!Margaritas HALF OFF MONDAY WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY!!! AMAZING!!!!Best authentic family owned location. Every day they work extremely hard to make the "MOST AMAZING" buffet that starts at 10:30am and it's unlimited food!The soups, quesadillas, beef tacos, cinnamon and sugar chips, taco salads and the list goes on of the most fresh and delicious food. They really put their heart into the food at this location.Best Pepe's Ever!“

“The food was excellent, they made it just like a requested!! I got the steak tostadas with rice and beans. Customer service was good and the prices were reasonable. They have a good sized menu as well with plenty of options. Don't be thrown off by the location being next to a gas station. I will be going back at some point soon!“

“If you know you know it's a late night gem. Everyone knows the guy that takes the orders and even if you don't he acts like he been knowing you for years. Food on point for the late night Hunt just be aware of your surroundings while “

“Basic fast food but on point. Never been disappointed by anything and I've eaten here since like 5th grade. Beefs, Dogs all are good. Prices on point too, you might can find coupons in the mailers or papers that still circulate but I used to see them in the Value Saver that comes in the mail or the Penny Saver but that's been a while but really not checking for them either lolParking: Depends on location have been to almost all but definitely parking for at least 20 or more spacesmaybr.“

“great food cooked fresh to order it may take a little longer than Taco Bell but you're here for real food not fast food“

“I always walked past this place but finally decided to give it a try. The atmosphere was nice, the people were friendly and I got this family like vibe from the restaurant. I ordered two burrito suizo dinners and a large horchata. Wow, that horchata was big! I love this place already! My relative and I really enjoyed the food. Kudos to everyone at Taquería Los Taquitos. It's a hidden gem for me.“

“Their gorditas, menudo and quesadillas are very delicious and now their service is better because they already accept payments by debit/credit card and before it was only in cash and you had to spend an extra $ to withdraw from the ATM they had there.“

“I don't think the server understood what I was saying. I requested for it NOT to be spicy. And it's definitely so spicy that I couldn't eat. It didn't complain about it because I didn't want to go back out. Just gave it to my son, who likes spicy food. I'll make sure the next time that I get a clearer understanding. “

“This food is so good I would really recommend!!!!! I love there tortas and DONT get me started with the quesabirras so DELICIOUS and juicy ugh just so good and the staff so nice especially Guillermo he’s very nice and his sister in the front love this place!!!“

“Food is very good, as to the comments about the extra fee it’s only a couple of cents and they have signs everywhere posted talking about the 4% charge, and right in front of customers so it’s pretty easy to spot. Very good service, ladies are clean & quick!“

“Had to wait to place an order even though I was the only customer. I had the toco dinner and was able mix the toco filling. They were good, but I've had better. Let me qualify that with I prefer my chicken shredded and my steak less salty. Salsa was so so. To their credit the place was clean and bright.“

“Great small father and son owned place. Food is delicious and authentic and they are the most REASONABLY priced in the area and the best quality. Rice and beans are delicious as well. Cash only but I understand why with inflation. Worth It to keep costs down for owners. Will always go back here in the oak forest/tinley/midlo area.“

“Was excited to try the drinks from this place. The layout in this place makes you think drinks are good but they are not. No flavors in 4 different drinks I ordered. But I will say the food was really good! Good food! Drinks really need an upgrade, either a good bartender or use better juices and muddle the fruits for better flavor.“

“I come here 2x a week at least. Great food. Can’t beat the prices. Only bad thing is they need to stay open later. They close to early. I ordered 6 gyro meals today with fries and drinks it was around 43$. The steak tacos are great as well.“

“Went to Cocula Mexican restaurant with a party of 7.The hostess got us a comfortable table right away the service was not slow the food was gas (really good) the scenery was classic Mexican culture the atmosphere was cool and filled with good vibes everyone was enjoying themselves. You should go to this spot if you're from Calumet city area.“

“At the recommendation of a friend, we decided to try out the new S2 Express Grill at 167th St & Halsted, Harvey, Illinois. We ordered two salmon dinners with the loaded baked potatoes and asparagus. The grilled salmon was moist, seasoned well and the asparagus was perfectly cooked, tender. The entire meal was delicious! We will be back for another awesome dining experience. Thank you.“

“El Cortez has been in CC Hills for many years. Food is excellent! Service has always been spot on. I gave 3 stars for atmosphere, because after all these years I feel they need an upgrade. All in all excellent service and excellent food. In the summer you can drink ? on the outdoor patio.Highly recommend!“
