50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Calumet City

“🌮 Absolutely amazing food truck!
They serve some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve tried every single one, and they never disappoint. The shrimp tacos are my personal favorite — packed with flavor — but the tripe, salmon, and steak tacos are also incredibly tasty.

Their nachos are great as well, loaded and satisfying. And you can’t leave without getting one of their horchata drinks… so refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

Highly recommend stopping by if you want quality, flavorful food every time.“

“Extremadamente delicioso 😋“

“We love this place. It has great food, GREAT HOMEMADE SANGRIA!!!! The wait staff is fantastic!!! If you haven’t been here, you must try it.“

“Por favor que está pasando aquí al parecer una chica nueva con un pantalón a media nacha por supuesto que se ve mal por los niños 👦 que traemos jamás había pasado esto aquí y mucho menos la atención pésima este es un restaurante familiar la comida exquisita no es Mexicana ojalá traigan al personal con calidad parece de otro país“

“I like this place. It’s very cozy, and the atmosphere on the weekends has a man playing guitar and nice oldies that remind me of my mom when she used to play her music when i was a child. The service was on point. Waitresses are very polite, and they all come around checking on us, making sure everything was ok. Im saying not just one waitress in assigned to one table all four come to check on you every 10 min. I had a tampiqueña and wanted my skirt steak medium well, and the cooks made my steak well done, unfortunately 😑 but other than that, the flavor from the steak was exactly what I was looking for, seasoned to perfection 👌 bold flavors, rice made nice a fluffy,beans guacamole all in my homade corn tortillas made fresh,mmmmm i just ate and already wantbto go back, lol. The enchilada on top of my steak and the enchilada poblano sauce was really good with light melted cheese just the way I like. Most definitely going back again soon.“

“The only reason why I don't give them a 5 is because the pastor tacos are way to spicy 🌶 but very nice people good food! �“

“The Micheladas and everything else that has shrimp“

“Enjoyed a lovely evening with a group of my large family here. The service was great. They just asked for our party to all be present to sit. We all enjoyed something delicious from the menu. I personally enjoyed a large Horchata and a Steak Torta! All authentic flavors were present and amazing!! I am so happy we got to celebrate here with my loved ones for our event. Prices were reasonable.
The staff was more than helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were so clean and beautiful.“

“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Un lugar donde la comida es un placer“

“It’s always an amazing experience when I come this establishment. Every time I go I try a new plate my new favorite is their enchiladas I haven’t been anywhere on the east side with enchiladas that taste like that! My kids enjoyed the outside dining and on rainy days like today even though the inside is small it was spacious. Definitely worth visiting this restaurant they have my family as customers for as long as they are open.“

“Un lugar donde la comida es un placer“

“Como Cristiana me encanta visitar. Cuando me toca cerca de la TV le bajan al volumen para que la música secular no retumbe en mi oído. La birria y el pozole es lo que más pido pero todo tiene su gran sazón. Un excelente lugar para disfrutar, solo o en familia . Me encanta.“

“A true local favorite with incredible meats.
This restaurant is a total hidden gem. It’s easy to see why the locals flock here—the food is consistently delicious and the service is incredibly welcoming. The lady at the front is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. I tried the steak tostada, which was excellent, and both the al pastor and steak tacos were top-notch. If you’re in the area, you definitely have to check this place out. The food comes out very fast, more of a take out spot and eat in the parking lot or take to go, very limited space inside.“

“You wouldn't think these tacos would taste good especially since it's right next to a gas station but you're right... these tacos aren't good they are DELICIOUS!! I ordered steak tacos, chicken tacos, burritos,and rice and beans..the food has lots of flavor too!! The staff is also very nice :)“

“Found myself in East Chicago with a little time to kill and found Casa Lupita's! It's a great little restaurant that I encourage others to seek out and give it a shot. A standard 'mexican' menu filled will perfectly prepared dishes and specialties with an additional assortment of Puerto Rican dishes that look amazing. I'll be back when in the neighborhood to explore this great menu.“

“Absolutely amazing! I don't normally make a habit of eating from a restaurant inside a gas station but I'm SO glad I looked at the reviews and gave this place a try. I had the best burrito I've ever had! This place was incredibly clean and they make your food right in front of you. I also appreciated the great service and friendliness of Keenan and Manager Bay. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area again! For reference - I ordered the carne asada burrito without beans and added avocado (pictured).“
