“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Orale Mexican Bar & grill and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that immediately transported us to Mexico. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic dishes, each bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We started with the guacamole and chips, which were both incredibly fresh and delicious. For our main course, we tried the chicken enchiladas green sauce and mole sauce and it did not disappoint. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every bite was a delight to the taste buds. The service was also impeccable. Our server Martha, Joel and Carlos were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The staff seemed genuinely passionate about sharing their love for Mexican cuisine with their customers, which added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant was lively and inviting, with colorful decor and Mexican music playing in the background. It truly felt like a little slice of Mexico right in the heart of Hanover Park. Overall, I highly recommend Orale Mexican Bar and grill to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience. Whether you’re a seasoned Mexican food enthusiast or trying it for the first time, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!“

“This place is insane. Elotes were out of this world. Birria tacos were delicious with many different options - gave salsas, onions, cilantro and consommé. Dad can't have cheese and often times his options at Mexican restaurants are very limited without taking a hit on the flavor - no such problem here! They have vegetarian options and are even Halal certified for the beef. A family friend got the très leches dessert and devoured it. Great indie vibe with the artwork and friendly service. Best secret in the Western Suburbs!“

“Los machetes y los huaraches y todo está rico. El servicio de primera calidad el de Jesyca,Verónica,Fany.“

“Great new mexican restaurant to the Roselle area... have eaten in and done carryout. Both times very happy with the food, tacos overfollowing with pork, and the nachos were huge!! My family and I will definitely be a repeat customers! Also, they have great lunch specials!

Kid-friendliness: They have a little menu for kids. Whatever you choose, the meal is served with rice and beans and a drink.“

“Dancing, karaoke and delicious food!“

“A friend and I came for the vegan tamale making class and it was such a wonderful experience that we will both be back for sure. Aside from a fun experience the vegan menu is wonderful. Well worth the drive from Chicago! Thank you so much - everything was delicious.“

“This place is the best; reasonably priced for the amount of food you get and I personally love the fact their homemade chorizo is not greasy. Plus they've really been great with the curbside pickup during the pandemic. For the last year we've only gotten takeout from two or three places and this one is among them. Friendly service, great food and I can't recommend this place highly enough.“

“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!“

“It was our first visit to this restaurant. We decide to go based on the reviews seen on google.
The food and the staff were amazing. We ordered vegetarian dish and shrimp dish both were really good. They adjust ingredients based on our request for the food.
I would definitely recommend this place.

Vegetarian options: Burrito, chimichangas, enchiladas and fajitas all are good options.
Appetizers with potato and cheese flautas was kids favorite during our dinner.“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Lots of food, good prices, pretty fast food service. There was a loud humming noise (maybe from a fridge?) where we were sitting and couldn't hear the waiter that well

Sat in the back and ordered, got chips and dip, and then our food shortly after. I ordered chicken enchiladas, chicken quesadilla, and a taco.

I do not eat mexican food that often, but compared to other places I have been to, the rice was a little dry. Not hard or undercooked, just drier than usual.

When I went to ask for boxes, there was nobody at the counter, so I did wait for a bit, and then came back for a bag and waited some more as no one was manning the counter.“

“Pleasantly surprised for such quick,great service,usually there is a down side but I didnt see.Will be back more on the regular.“

“Tacos and Tampiqueña Plater. Best recommended place I have been to.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Very good!!! REAL Mexican food! Would recommend.“

“The food is delicious.“

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

“Best burrito in the area. I ordered a steak taco also and for some reason that taco was sooooo spicy i couldn’t finish it.. i didn’t put any salsa on it wow never had such a spicy taco like that. First time here and it’s a no for me on the tacos but i would like to try other items.“

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.“

“This place is sooooooooooo good I can't stop coming here. Omg a must try. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this place. Yum yum yum. Hopefully they go nationwide. That would be awesome.

This place is so good that I can't stop coming here. My God, you have to try it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this place. Yum Yum Yum. I hope they reach the entire country. Which would be amazing.

How good that place is.“

“Good food, nice clean place. Staff is very nice also.“

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

“Tacos Los Sombreros is a hole in the wall joint serving halal Mexican food. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. I liked everything I have tried here...quesadillas, fajitas, tacos, burritos. The birria is succulent and the loaded nachos were a hit with the kiddos. Restaurant is small and the service a little slow, but the food is worth it.

Recommended.“

“Thank you for having vegan options!!!“

“Good food, fresh ingredients.No restrooms available to use for customers. Limited parking.

Vegetarian options: Taco, burrito, salad and Quesadilla.

Parking: Downtown location both restaurants. Wheaton location has some parking spots. Has parking garage near by.Glen ellyn a nightmare to find parking and only take out.“

“Came in and had a wonderful time and food. The food was fresh and delicious, our service was top notch. Our server was awesome, he recommended the avocado salad and the ancho chili salsa with the chorizo bowl and the man knows his stuff! We left with full stomachs and full of smiles! We will be back in the future!“

“This is our second time having Pancho's do onsite cooking/catering for a party at our home, and it won't be the last! Everything was fantastic from the moment I called to book the event with Susie to confirming with Jesus to the moment when Jorge and his partner left (sorry, I didn't catch her name). There was so much food, everyone kept complimenting how awesome the food was. I was worried about not having enough food but there was so much with lots of leftovers! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Their equipment was clean. They kept their area where they were cooking and serving organized and clean. When they left, there was no mess. I would, recommend them to anyone looking to have a taquiza at their home!“

“If you like tacos and burritos, or bowls; THIS IS THE SPOT! They have a "classic" menu, with all the flavors of mainstream. But, they also have a MADRA MENU where you can be pleasantly OVERJOYED with unique flavor mixes you never thought could be so good together!! Worth the trip! My guy hooked me up, said what I liked, what I don't like and my burrito was bangin.“

“So, listen, I completely understand changing your menu and I also understand that you are a Mexican restaurant and you’d prefer to serve Mexican food. BUT since we were last there, you changed your menu and removed the chicken strips and fries. So, atmosphere was great, service was great, food was very good, blood orange margarita was tasty, but we’ll be back when my picky 10 year old turns 18 because I can afford - occasionally - $13 for her chicken strips but not another $60 for a sitter and I’m not willing to fight with her about her awful dietary choices during a rare night out. Please bring back the chicken strips. Otherwise, we’ll miss you.“

“Great food. Great staff. Great event! 1st Annual Warrenville Fire Department fund raiser!!“

“Incredible dining experience! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere draws you in. The food, especially the langostinos and mehillines left us smiling throughout the meal. The staff was not only friendly but also added to the warmth of the place. A must-visit for anyone looking for fantastic food and a delightful ambiance!“

“Awesome food, great green and red sauce too“

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

“Ordered a veggie burrito for lunch during a weekday. The burrito typically comes with zucchini, yellow squash, and red pepper in addition to the standard beans, lettuce, cheese, and rice. I omitted the squash and zuchinni and should have done the same with the red pepper. The red pepper is placed in the burrito in large chunks which I found to be undesirable for a Burrito. The good thing was that they were grilled chunks.
The choice of numerous sauces is great and was served with the complimentary Chios and salsa.
I would recommend this place for some quick Mexican food and would visit for lunch again.“

“It is a really nice place to get some food, I tried the lunch special picking the pastor, chorizo and carnitas tacos, corn tortilla and to be honest I never spect that tasty in the pastor, it was awesome, great salsas with basics spicy (not for high spicy level lovers) but the flavors are so good (chile de árbol and jalapeño sausage are the best), also the plate come with rice and beans (the beans are served over a crunchy corn tortilla and it marks the difference for presentation in my opinion), also I highly recommend order horchata water. The only thing that I have and I think it is because I went too close the opening hours, is that the floor was recently mopped and with the kind of shoes that I was dressing, it was difficult to walk around but I think I was the only one with that issue because I saw a lot of people walking with no issues.“

“It's really close to 100% authentic Mexican food. Great tacos and salsas. However, my only beef with this place is the absolute lack of real mexican music, and by that, I mean mariachi or mexican oldies. The music is always salsa, reggeton, or bachata. Takes away from the experience, in my opinion.“

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

“Tacos were delicious, the elote not so much. It was very lemony?. I'm used to my elote being spicy, the lemon over powered the entire elote. Last time I checked, elote consists of mayo, butter, queso cotija & chile. Great customer service, delicious tacos, I'll pass on elotes.“

“The wife and I were told about this place by a family member. We decided to give it a try. The food was delicious. I had some steak tacos and the wife had enchiladas. My dinner was very good, but the enchiladas my wife got were fantastic. Also, they had a small band playing some cover music. Both in English and Spanish. It was a nice little addition hearing the music while eating. Although I don't speak Spanish or understand what they were singing about, it was pleasant to listen to. Highly recommend checking it out. Was great for a date night!“

“Delicious food and fantastic service!!“

“What a great place to eat Mexican food. Definitely work going back to again and again.“
