50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Carol Stream

“The best steak tacos.....“

“Drove an hour for this food. Best Mexican food we ever had. Fresh and flavorful. See you soon!“

“The fact that this restaurant has anything less than 5 stars is crazy. Their food is SO good. I get their queso fundido w/ Chorizo and chicken quesadilla. The queso comes with homemade chips and flour tortillas. Honestly some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had.“

“The most authentic and amazing quality of Mexican food, also offering Colombian dishes and other Hispanic cuisines! From fresh produce to specialty spices, everything feels just like home. Their bakery has incredible pan, and the butcher shop always has top-notch cuts of meat. I also appreciate the convenience of their services like money transfers, check cashing, and bill payments—makes it a one-stop shop for the community. The staff is always friendly and helpful, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere every time I visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a true taste of Latin food!“

“This taqueria is amazing! The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste. The meat was perfectly seasoned and the tortillas tasted homemade. The service was friendly and fast. Definitely one of the best taco spots I’ve tried. I’ll be coming back for sure“

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.“

“Always enjoy my visits to this chain. First time at this location and mixed it up from my usual chicken enchiladas and tried the steak burrito. It's massive and very tasty. Always enjoy their horchata. Complimentary chips and salsa is a plus and cheerful friendly staff is the icing on the cake. Very modern and well kept dining room.“

“I’m local and this is my first visit to this newer location. Alexis was phenomenal from start to end of our order! The other staff were also busy with their respective tasks and the restart was clean. I’ll definitely be making this a preferred location. Nice job ladies!!“

“This place is great for tacos and burritos but you really have to try the pupusas they are amazing And there’s a free salsa bar yum“

“The food was great, service was excellent! The atmosphere is happy and the Magician made it even more enjoyable. Definitely going to become regulars.“

“Fat Rosie’s in Naperville offers a lively and colorful atmosphere, filled with beautiful artwork and an authentic feel. The space is welcoming and energetic, making it the perfect place for both small, intimate gatherings and large, boisterous celebrations. The food is outstanding, with bold flavors in every dish. The salsa and chips are fresh and crisp, while the tacos, elote, and tamales showcase authentic Mexican flavors. One standout is the mango margarita—packed with flavor, featuring fresh mango pieces and a Tajín rim for the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Whether you’re looking for great food, a vibrant setting, or a refreshing cocktail, Fat Rosie’s delivers a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience for any occasion.“

“Great Vegan menu! The margaritas are wonderful“

“The flavors are on point!
Tried the carnitas special- and literally though I transported to Michoacan.
The steak torta with Oaxaca cheese is to die for.
The best part, the amazing service that my wife and I received.
I walked out a better person 😌“

“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.“

“Just the best! My favorite restaurant in the world! The habanero hot sauce is amazing and I love the mole enchiladas! �“

“Outside building looks may be bland, but the food inside is traditional Mexican awesomeness! Al Pastor tacos with cilantro/onion/pineapple was delish. Their specialty tacos (lamb/cheese) was the best. Self serve Salsa Bar with many flavor choices is truly unique. You will not regret giving Crazy Tortas a taste test for yourself!“

“Great food and service!! 💯 Que comida tan chingona“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“It's hard to find Mexican restaurants to get absolutely everything right, this is the one. Rice and beans were great, Pollo a la Mexicana was the perfect amount of taste and spiciness. The cheese stretches multiple feet into the air like it was real fresh cheese melted to perfection. I can't recommend this place enough. The building is very cute and the staff is super nice.“

“The food is delicious.“

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.“

“MY NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT!!!! Yall when I tell you this place is so good it’s literally worth every single dollar you own and then take out a loan. THATS HOW GOOD IT IS. Don’t go tmr GO NOW!!!!“

“Attended a function here today …. the small bites and drinks were delicious! Definitely would like to try this place for dinner“

“Best tacos in Naperville area. The limited menu allows them to focus on what they do well - a great variety of tacos. I tried 3 of the taco options: steak, chicken tinga and grilled Mahi-Mahi. All outstanding. If you want the meal option (2 sides and a drink), you can opt for pinto beans instead of the usual refried beans; rice; a fountain drink; and the 3 tacos, for under $20. It is a good value because the quality is good.“

“coolest coffee place in cambria staff was unbelievable will be come back great food and even better drinks“

“Had the Steak Burrito. The presentation, size and taste were what I expected. They had the good hot type / red sauce which some other places don't have. However it seemed as if the lettuce and tomato overpowered the steak/ beans & cheese? Not quite sure but something was off with the lettuce ? It did seem to be the typical shredded lettuce I've had in other burrito's?“

“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.“

“the stake plate is superr delicious 😋“

“The quesabirria tacos were so delicious! The consomé was full of flavor and the waitress and hostess were very nice!“

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

“Went to La Hacienda de Roselle for lunch/dinner. Best place ever for Mexican food. They give you so much food and it is very inexpensive. The staff there is friendly and you get great service. I can't say enough how great the food is. Best Mexican Restaurant in all of the Suburbs of Illinois. It deserves 5 Stars and even more! Love it there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best food I ever try !!! I love this place everything taste fresh. The homemade coffee cake is incredible.“

“I like this place a lot because the food is crazy good and it's clean. The service and atmosphere are lack luster and the food makes up for it. I drive by this place going to Los Burrito's often. I wish they were more friendly and I would go here more.“

“Amazing food and drinks!!“

“This place is definitely our go to when were craving Mexican food, which is quite often. Everything tastes fresh and the service is always friendly. Large portions, tried just about everything on the menu and have never had a bad experience. 10/10“

“The food here is so good!!! My favorite restaurant EVER‼️‼️‼️‼️“

“Love the nachos! Super yummy and a fun change up for lunch. The staff unfortunately created an uncomfortable dining experience with a lot of cussing and yelling coming from the kitchen. F’bombs about politics and covering shifts made for an unpleasant atmosphere. The lack of maintaining a professional environment or even a family friendly environment was lost today. Sounds like the staff needs a manager to be present. Take your nachos to go.“

“Loved Lima Fresca! We went on a Fri early eve and we’re able to get a table by the outside. The hostess was extremely nice and cheerful. Food was excellent and very reasonable! We had the chicken tinga quesadilla and some tacos, lots of quality meat in the menu items. Margaritas are small for the price. We are definitely going back soon!!!“

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

“They are always quick yummy and very nice people there, I am a celiac and they even keep the chips separate fryer, go there!“

“Food was very delicious! I was very impressed and would definitely return.“

“I love this place so much!!! I stumbled upon it June 2023, and I’m forever grateful for that. 5 Star customer service! 5 Star food AND drink. I really wish more people would support this establishment. It’s hands down the best hispanic dishes in the area. Not even exaggerating. My fav is their chorizo tacos with grilled onions and cilantro and their carne asada. I don’t even eat refried beans, but I LOVE theirs. I travel 45 mins to dine there. It’s worth it. Support! Support! Support this family and their restaurant.“

“Great Mexican that is always fresh, hot and ready on time for pick up!“

“We ordered the chicken enchiladas and the beef tacos. Both were delicious! The portion sizes are large. The only suggestion I have is that they include sour cream on the Mexican food plates for a better taste. I would recommend this restaurant for wonderful Mexican food and I would like to try the Indian food next time.“

“Great staff, Amazing food! We love Pancho's!“

“I was fan of La Poblanita I always recomended to friends and Family, my wife took me to La poblanita on Valentine's cause she knows I love it, Unfortunately the last 2 times is been dissapointed, food was tasteless and they charged me $.50 for extra lemon, I get it economy is bad, but If you going to charge for something that usually is Free at least let the customer Know, I dont think Im going back 😪😪.“
