“Andrew was amazing. The food was incredible, service was great, the atmosphere was warm, happy, festive, and saw a lot of locals. Friends... Get here soon! The prices are FANTASTIC! There's only one huge problem... Huge... The name on the building is what they specialize in and not the actual name of the restaurant. The big bold signage says "taco Tequila" but their name is EL Pato LoCo. Attention Owners: eather consider changing the name on the building or changing the name of the restaurant. This is an amazing place to dine at. You're not doing yourself any favors by advertising the wrong verbage! Thanks again Andrew for a great dinning experience. -David Gaffke Proud Owner of Complete Bridal-Bridal Boys“

“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!“

“Sabor inigualable, deliciosas.“

“TRY THE TACO SALAD!! It's a beatific crispy shell that's filled with fresh lettuce then ripped with your choice of meat accompanied with fresh guacamole, sour cream and tomatoes. It's a must try! The owner greets you with a genuine smile! They have done a nice re model over the years I've been coming. I'm going to be back very soon .“

“Best authentic Mexican in the area! This is my favorite spot now. The food is consistently amazing and the service is prompt and pleasant. You can really taste the freshness and quality of their food! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.“

“the best in food to enjoy a nice afternoon“

“Absolutely wonderful I couldn’t be happier with everything ❤️❤️❤️“

“The owner is really friendly and he was talking to me about his town in Mexico which is Altamirano, Guerrero. Really good service and really good food. Highly recommended to try the chilaquiles and the menudo. The place was really clean and his food menu is not that big which is great because then you don't have a lot of food left over but highly recommend this place.“

“Jude’s offers small plates perfect for sharing with friends. The food choices are plentiful and reflect different culinary choices so they offer things you can’t get elsewhere in CL. The environment is warm and welcoming. Staff provide service that makes sure the experience is a good one.“

“Very good hot dog; they really grill it until it is hot. A "Shroomer" made as a grilled chicken sandwich is good. The burger is good and I have ended up getting a kid's meal last time so that I can try to eat less meat. I am more of a light weight person anyway. The inside of the restaurant could be renovated. They are still in the real old Kooker's building with the same old tile floor that Kooker's restaurant had when I was in high school. It is over 20 years later now. I have been willing to go back to Happy Burger to get meals. The people at the front desk are nice. I do admit, though, sometimes I end up getting a burger for $3 at fast food drive-throughs. Happy Burger (HB) burger tastes more like a fresh made juicy burger when compared to the McDonald's on the other side of the street. HB fries are not bad but could be better because when the HB fries come up and go into a bag, I have found they were a bit wet.Wet fries is a common imperfection with Chicago-style grills.“

“Oh my gosh, they have the BEST Mexican Food around!!!! Everything is great! So tasty and great service and prices! It's soooooo good! If you haven't had them yet, you need to go get some!!!“

“The Inches Taco Truck came to our house for my daughter’s birthday. They were a hit! Couldn’t have made things easier for me and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!!“

“Pretty good. Amazing service. The steak fajita tacos were so yummy. And they give you SO much! Rice & beans were perfect. A lot condiments you can pack yourself to go too. The horchata was ok but lots of places don’t get it right lol only in Mexico he he he! I will come back.“

“We just had a fabulous experience here! The place smelled super clean, bathrooms were extremely clean also! Food was yummy! I had a chicken fajita quesadilla and a churro. My hubby tried a lengue taco & a steak plate with cactus! Waitress was so nice & fast service!!“

“Food was amazing! But when I requested a glass of water, I was informed that they don't give out free cups of water because they didn't have a water dispensing machine. I'd like to see them provider free cups of water to customers. Other then that, place Is awesome!“
