50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Bellwood

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

“Dining room is small. Maybe can hold 25-30 people. Parking lot is very small. You have to be careful when entering and exiting due to the fact it's off a main busy street with cars and buses traveling 30-40 mph. It's best to call ahead your food order and take it with you.“

“I come here every time I get my nails done. Everything here is so good and always fresh. The lady that’s takes the orders is always so nice and always recommending great things she told me to try the hibiscus and it’s soooo good ! I get it every time I come !“

“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“

“We’re not from around here and I’m SO glad we gave this place a try. Everything was great! Service, environment, food, quantity and prices. I wish we could bring them home with us! We tried taco dinner(asada, lomo & al pastor) and chimichanga. Salsa and chips served and they make fresh guacamole to your liking. Loved it!!! Our horchata and Jamaica were super large cups and tasted delicious and fresh. 100% recommend this little place.“

“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!“

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“One of the last few places I've found that makes it feel worth it to spend money eating out. Absolutely some of the best food I've eaten (try the chicken tinga quesadilla!), reasonable and affordable prices, great service and warm atmosphere. I love the open kitchen layout, it makes me feel at-home and reminds me of cooking with my mom 🤍. You won't regret coming here.“

“Cesar was the very best! He accommodated our request in advance regarding an avocado allergy and even made suggestions of other items that would be over great value and taste. He’s an amazing waiter and look forward to revisiting and being in his section!“

“Fresh and good flavor. Not a big menu but burrito was outstanding.“

“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.“

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

“I worked with Daniel, and he made the insurance process easy to understand. He explained my options clearly and answered my questions without rushing. I appreciated the focus on low costs and the straightforward information. The whole experience was simple and comfortable.“

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

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

“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“

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

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Small mom and pop taco spot with great food. Place is cash only i repeat cash only so dont forget your money. We had the Ribeye tacos very delicious and tender meat was well done, they also put grilled onions and peppers which adds more flavor to the 🌮. Be aware the peppers 🌶 are a bit spicy so eating them with their salsa might be too much spice for some people. I would do either or but you feeling adventurous try it with both. Pastor tacos were very flavorful comes with onion and cilantro. Asada tacos were rich in flavor well seasoned and not dry. These are hardy tacos 🌮 average person will get full with 2-3 tacos. Tortillas are oiled nicely and cooked well they hold their shape while eating after lime and salsa have been added doesn't get soggy or break apart. Over all great spot 9/10 👌 will eat here again. It is a small place so if it gets busy seating might be an issue they have 3 tables outside and a bit of counter seating inside.“

“I honesty love going to this place, the margaritas and food are delicious. The manager as well as the servers are really nice and they make sure you are well taken care of. The place itself is very pretty and clean. No complaints, I've gone here multiple times and will continue to go due to their delicious food and great service!!!!“

“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.“

“This is our first time here although it’s a chain restaurant the food was very very good. I would not call it truly authentic Mexican food but for a chain restaurant here in the US great atmosphere great food and ask for Carlos when you’re in.“

“The best tacos al pastor are at this place. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the prices are unbeatable. You must try their tacos!“

“Love this place! Incredible birria! Try the birria quesadilla and elote!“

“It’s always stressful trying out new places to eat & this was me this morning. I had the craving for tamales, I ordered the green chicken Oaxaca tamales, the normal green chicken tamale & a strawberry tamale. They were SO GOOD, I was honestly shocked. This is my new favorite tamale spot.“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“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 just found out about this place and called for pick up just before they were going to close. He is so nice and genuine to speak with on the phone, my food was hearty and savory. The atmosphere is fun and colorful and I ended up getting the last slice of Flan!
I recommend this place! I'm headed back soon 😌

P.s on top of that i got a free drink with my burrito! Where else are you gonna get a deal like that?“

“Unexpectedly stopped in on Sunday and they had Mariachi! Such a good surprise! The food was delicious, my favorite where the tacos enchilados I belive they were called. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very aesthetic and clean. We will definitely be coming back.“

“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 Customer Service & Delicious Authentic Mexican food“

“This is one of my favorite vegan Mexican restaurants. Chef Patricia is so sweet. I almost always get the Carne Asada burrito but I’ve loved everything I have tried. The nachos & tacso are so good too. The peanut butter cookies are probably the best I’ve ever had. I love the chocolate mini Bundt cake.“

“Awesome environment and favorite place to get tacos!!!“

“great food great service my new fav place“

“First i do not like spicey food, I do like mexican food on the bland side. My husband likes his food spicy. We both would order again. I was very happy with food portion and flavor. I usually dont like salsa because I can't handle the spices, but here it was served warm and I ate it all! I would love to know what was in the salsa!“

“Absolutely incredible. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The tacos are some of the best I’ve had, the food was flavorful and authentic, and the churros were AMAZING fresh out of the fryer. The portions were generous, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. Definitely one of those hidden gems that deserves way more attention. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Chicken Torta with habanero sauce. Thank me later! Delicious food and great staff.“

“I love it 😍 El México a Chicago“

“This place was good. I came here for lunch and ordered the 2.50$ chicken tinga lunch special taco. It was very flavorful and a good serving of the meat, also ordered the horchata since you need to order it with a drink. The service was great, people were very friendly and attentive.“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“Maya Tacos isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a whole vibe. You can eat, shop, walk around, come back and eat again (no judgment), grab a Starbucks, and catch a movie afterwards. My stomach has never been happier. Indian Spanish fusion done right, welcoming vibe, top notch salsa bar, and service that actually cares. Honestly? I go for the tacos, stay for the plaza energy, and leave with zero regrets. One of a kind.“

“Excellent tacos and burritos here, with proteins including steak, chicken, beef, al pastor, lengua, tripa, carnitas, and cabeza. Also the vegetarian burrito is quite good. 5 stars!“

“Great little place, great food. Love the steak tacos and burritos .“

“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!“

“The Food was Delicias 😋
I can't wait to go again.
It's a small cozy place Very chill spot.. . Summertime they have a outside Patio area. We dined indoor I Love the homemade tortillas Taco's
Not all of the 🌮 Taco's come with homemade tortillas option but we ask for it and they were more then happy to make it the way we wanted with an extra charge but well worth it . I had one Taco de Cecina 🌮 and one de 🌮 Asada with the red hot salsa very good and a side of rice and beans and of corse you can't forget the Agua de Tamarindo it was delicious🥤drink.“

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