12 Best Mexican Restaurants in Arlington Heights

“It’s good and I do recommend it. Just a warning, it’s a small location so it’s best to do takeout.“

“Stopped here on a whim, and I’m very glad that I did! Bit of a small indoor and outdoor seating area but cozy and authentic vibes nonetheless. More importantly, the food is top notch! The carne asada burrito was one of the best that I’ve had around in the northwest suburbs. The steak was perfectly grilled, juicy and flavorful, and the best part being there was plenty of it inside the burrito! If you’re looking for fresh, homemade, authentic Mexican food that won’t break the bank in the northwest suburbs then Taqueria El Comalito is a must try!“

“always a great experience when I bring my family with me to eat. friendly and attentive staff. great authentic taste!“

“We went to Mago in Barrington last night for the first time and were blown away. They were very busy so we sat at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. Food was terrific and the menu features things you won’t find at your standard Mexican restaurant like three choices of mole. Tableside guacamole is absolutely lovely. I have to say, though, what made our experience was watching the magnificent bartender. His efficiency, speed, and obvious dedication to what he was doing was just a marvel. He never stopped moving! We will definitely be back as every aspect of our experience was very enjoyable.“

“Went here for the first time after seeing a TikTok and the food is GREAT! It’s DELICIOUS 😋 definitely a place to try with your fam or a date the drinks are well presented just like their dishes! I had the 12inch Quesabirria and it was flavorful“

“Great dinner tonight. Mexican Indian Fusion. The seasoned chips were served hot and Salsas were flavorful. Portions were plentiful and the prices were family friendly. You can choose 3 different street tacos with rice and beans for $15! The staff was very attentive as we were outside dining. And the waiter left us a pitcher of water for the table. It was most appreciated. We definitely will return.“

“Review written 09/16/2025. Very fresh flavorful food, very quick efficient and friendly staff

Tip: make sure u specify if you want the small side of chips and queso ($1) versus the large ($5.55)
I asked for the small, and got charged for the large, but thankfully my rewards took it off for free“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“Just tried magys pizza and let me tell you guys it was so so good I had the ribs and they are one of the best that’s I have ever tried pizza was really good and they have amazing desserts we will definitely come back oh yes by the way hubby had carne asada fries not sure if they are I. The menu but just ask for them they are the best thanks Juan’s and rocio best of luck to both of you“

“It’s a Taco Bell. Not a 5 star restaurant. So if the food is not of the best quality, it’s only understandable. However, my experience was very pleasant here. Great, kind, hard working employees there. Food tasted the way I expected. Service was timely and the restaurant was kept clean. Most of all, it’s cheap. Nothing beats the value of TBell.“

“The food is delicious 😋! The service is wonderful. It's a small place with a family atmosphere. It's cozy and colorful, as if you were visiting family or close friends. Please visit this place. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. You won't be disappointed. 😋 today was the 1st time that it wasn't crowded. And that's because of our current president 🤔🤨“
