“Buena atención..... Y sobre todo respeto a sus trabajadores..“

“Just tried this place for the first time after always driving by. The burrito I got was soooooooooo good. My old place went downhill and I’ve been in need of a new #1. This is it ! The inside, vibe, guy at the front was super nice, and my food was done FAST. Go here!“

“I loved to food here, I found the place one TikTok I personally do recommend the food especially the shrimp burrito, ts was bomb ngl it was so good especially with the salsas that they have complimented it so well, I also recommend the tripa tacos I loved them and they didn’t over cook it nor undercooked it, overall the service was good and the staff was every kind, if you go here be ready to be mind blown with the food, I do say you have to go here with time because the food is freshly made.“

“The food and drinks were good, the service was attentive and friendly but let the buyer beware! The waitstaff asked: "Celebrating a birthday?" Let us get you some shots! This happened twice however, all the shots ended up on our bill and it was $56 for four shots! Twice!“

“Birria muy buena y Ahora tienen TACOS de Machitos y es de lo mejor que eh probado 💯% , Te mantienen bien atendido todo el tiempo“

Every dish tastes homemade, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the delicious salsas. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. If you’re looking for real Mexican food with great service and a cozy vibe, Pueblo Nuevo is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!“

“Oooooorale’! We found another hidden gem! (Well not really hidden, lol) este restaurante está riquísimo! For all of you non-Spanish speakers, this place is delicious! It looks small from the outside, but it’s enormous in flavor! It’s a very cute and nicely decorated place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. But the food… it rocks! We ordered the Orden de Quesobirria and a Carne en su Jugo and a Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus water) and a Horchata (rice water). The Carne stew was delicious! So many levels of flavors. The birria was fantastic! Levels and levels of flavor. Will definitely be back for the Menudo this weekend. See you all here!“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“I stopped by with my toddler and was immediately greeted by staff. Ordered the breakfast burrito and a taco and rice for my daughter and the food was delicious. The rice was flavorful, the tortilla was fresh and the best part was the agua de Mango. Will definitely have to stop in again and try other items on the menu.“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“Soooooo goooddd! Best asada taco I’ve had in a while!“

“Ambiance was fun, yet warm and authentic. Service was friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. We’ve been looking for an alternative to our regular Mexican restaurant. We will return.“

“Excellent food! Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be pricey to some, but worth it and they do different deals on different nights so it’s worth checking them out. If this venue was in the #Pilsen area, you would def need a month or two reservations. The chef is #Michelin rated – say no more. Highly recommended. Next time in Chi-town I would def make this a stop. #exceptional #FineDiningMexican“

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“Terrace Cantina is hands-down our favorite Mexican restaurant, and it has been for years. It’s one of those truly underrated gems that makes you wonder how more people don’t know about it—especially when it’s so much better than any chain restaurant around.

The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels like comfort food you crave and something special at the same time. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, perfect whether you’re out for a casual dinner or celebrating something.

What really sets Terrace Cantina apart, though, are the people. The owners are wonderful, the servers are attentive and kind, and you genuinely feel appreciated every time you walk in. Even our toddler loves it here and begs to go after daycare—which says a lot. They’re patient, friendly, and make dining with a little one feel easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food in a place that feels like a community favorite (not a corporate chain), Terrace Cantina is it. We’ll keep coming back—just like we always have.“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Good tacos ! The steak tacos are really good here .“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“The ONLY bad thing about this taqueria is how long it took me to realize #1 how close it was to my house, and #2 how DELICIOUS all of their food is!!!

This last summer I couldn't wait to sneak out of the house for a quick taco and a good book and their cute little patio section, which I did every chance I got. The staff are all super sweet. They are a cash only establishment.

My three go-to tacos are:
#1- The Texano - Shrimp cooked with chorizo with cabbage.... the shrimp is always fresh and tasty, and never rubbery
#2 - The Arriero - Steak, black beans, peppers, cheese, and nopales, all a perfect combination with one another!
#3 - The Happy Taco - Pork with onions, jalapenos, and zucchini

My husband loves their burritos, but I almost ALWAYS get one, two, or all three of these options when I go. Two tacos generally fill me up because they do a great job of not skimping on ingredients. The inside sit down area is very small, and looks like it could maybe accommodate 3 people at the window area. Still a perfect to-go spot when it's cold. I know I saw another location not too far away, so I'm curious to check them out as well. I usually walk over, but parking finding street parking doesn't seem to be a huge problem either.“

“Doris was extremely helpful, and honestly the entire staff was amazing. We had a great time celebrating foxy birthday. Fat Rosie’s food is always on point—I've been here quite a few times and I really love how consistent everything is. That consistency keeps me coming back, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“Used to come here younger years after hard night of drinking, food was great then and today after all these years later.“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“Great people who work here/run the restaurant and phenomenal food! My bf and I eat here at least once, if not twice a week lol“

“Don’t skip on this place! This restaurant is very very good and underrated. Service and food is amazing. Lady that was serving us explained it was her and her family’s business and they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is easily one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend. Enchiladas estilo Jalisco and flautas are my favorite. We can’t get enough! We hope they stick around for many many years to come.“

“I tried out the carne asada taco dinner. It came with a scoop of rice, a bean puree, and three tacos. The were tacos very big and delicious and I felt full just eating two tacos and the sides. I was also given a complimentary soup that was in some savory broth, it tasted like fideo. For the quality of service and the price, I think this is a good spot and I would come back again.“

“Wow!!! First time here & I must say 10/10
Everything was great food is delicious, very fresh. Place is super clean I love the decor so tropical. They’re drinks oh my goshhh amazing! I can’t wait to go back here and bring my friends!!!!“

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien“

“My husband and I have been there 2 times for lunch. We had the same server both time. This place is so good. The food is authentic and amazing. The server is very kind and knowledgeable he make amazing drinks. The margaritas are 10/10. We went for lunch both times. We will return.“

“Excelente atencion y muy buena comida 💕“

“Excellent food, really nice people!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh—seriously, even the water tasted super refreshing, which is a rarity!

I decided to try the marlin ceviche, and it was a game-changer. The marlin was perfectly marinated, bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. For my main dish, I ordered the huevos rancheros, and it did not disappoint! The eggs were cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich and savory sauce that tied everything together. Both dishes were so good that I found myself savoring every bite.

I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend visiting restaurant! You won’t regret it!“

“Called ahead to place an order late morning on a weekday, worker proved to be fast and efficient. They get VERY busy on the weekends may have to wait a few minutes. Champurrado was pretty good. Personal favorite tamales GREEN CHICKEN & RAJAS 😋🔥Nice local taste of home!“

“Great Customer Service & Delicious Authentic Mexican food“

“We were looking for a place which would come to your home with their outdoor grill and cook for our guests.
Although there are many, all require a minimum of 50 guest and the cost is huge. My husband would always pick up tacos from Taqueria El Kacheton, he suggested we ask them if they cater for a small gathering. Luckily they said yes. The cook arrived early to started cooking, everyone LOVED the food. GREAT choice. The cook was professional and attended to what are guests wanted.“

“Excellent and authentic Mexican food. The salsa is ridiculously good, the chicken tortilla soup is amazing, the al pastor tacos are delicious, and the skirt steak is perfectly seasoned and grilled. Oh, and don't forget the margaritas! Staff is lovely and service is great! This continues to be our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Western suburbs!“

“Full flavored great tasting menudo“

“Una de las mejores birrias que he probado aquí en Estados Unidos. El servicio es de lo mejor,te hacen sentir en casa,ofrecen consomé extra sin cargo alguno al igual que tortillas…“

“The restaurant was very nice. The food and drinks were tasty. The ribeye steak on the tostadas was a little chewy but the skirt steak was delicious. I mentioned that it was my best friend's birthday but there was no birthday mention at all and no dessert offered to her. I'm used to nice restaurants providing this type of service without question. I was disappointed!“

“The machetes are so good! Their cochinita is really good too! Just a heads up, their prices do not show on the board as the screen is messed up. Make sure to ask before ordering for the price. Love that their Playlist includes pop hits of the 2000's and 2010's.

Parking: Parking is in back of building“

“Steak tostada salty. Guacamole fresh and flavorful the best in West Cook county! Tortilla chips homemade and crispy. Rice good flavor. Beans salty but smooth. Orchata good too. Tvs, beer, happy hour Fridays and Saturdays 5 to 9:00 p.m. Booths only.“

“Delicious steak tacos and mild sauce 10/10!!“

“I ordered a half-diablo, half-green chilaquiles, while my husband opted for the morita ones. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The diablo chilaquiles were definitely made in hell, hahaha! Our favorite part was the side potatoes. The food tasted like breakfast made by grandma! The portions were huge; we only managed to finish half of it. And the coffee had that homemade taste. We’d go back for sure!“

“Taco Maya is so good! If you've never been here, you have to go! There are a lot of tacos of different types here. One that I highly recommend for anyone to try is the Paneer taco! I ordered one to try and immediately regretted not getting more. The quesabirria is excellent! Try the coffee, too! You will be pleasantly surprised. The staff is very kind!“

“5+ Stars. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Ingredients are fresh and portions are perfect!!“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“Amazing Mexican food! Indio is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever had in Chicago! I got the carne asada Gordita, Al Pastor burrito, and medium Horchata. Everything was delicious and filling. I will definitely be back again in the near future!“
