New Mexican Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

“The food was OUTSTANDING! Best mexican food I have ever had. The chips and warm salsa were delicious. We had the shrimp and chicken fajitas and those were so tasty. The margarita was sooo yummy! They even had kid's options for our daughter. Very accommodating and the atmosphere was perfect. Hope to return sometime! Thank you!“

“Nice selection of authentically prepared dishes. The menu is focused, presumably on what they do best. Preparation is simple and with very nice quality ingredients. Don’t overlook the sauces and sides. Overall an excellent choice in this vibrant neighborhood (Pilsen).“

“If I am being honest, the Carne Adovada was flavorful and it reminded me of Carne Adovada that you’d find in a fancy Santa Fe restaurant rather than your local New Mexican restaurant. The red chile was flavorful and had a decent kick to it. Although I would say I am a little confused by the use of corn tortillas rather flour tortillas for Carne Adovada. I kinda expect flour tortillas for Carne Adovada. I am most disappointed in the salsa since it didn’t really taste like something that would come from New Mexico. It tasted like straight tomato paste. But since I’m not in New Mexico - I can’t be too picky. But I was most impressed by the sopapillas!! It really did remind me of home and I am glad that they had honey to go with them. Service was great. Our waitress was nice and friendly and she answered all of our questions. I would say that I enjoyed my experience there.“

“Good atmosphere, good food , unique experience“

“Great food and service. We love the patio and fire pits.“

“This restaurant has a lot going for it – the place was awesome, and the food was genuinely delicious. However, I was somewhat put off by their automatic 18% gratuity for just two people. While I understand automatic gratuity for larger groups, imposing it on a small party removes the incentive for exceptional service and the diner's ability to reward accordingly. The food was great, but this policy left a slightly sour taste.“

“Best steak tacos I've ever had. Period.

The shrimp Diabla tacos were always wonderfully tasty.

They only take cash or online order so keep that in mind. The food takes a little longer than what you might expect for a taco spot (my order was 8 tacos with rice/beans that took roughly 25 minute) but the wait is probably a result of the food being made to order and easily worth the delay. Also homemade corn tortillas give them a pillowy texture that's both sweet/savory.“

“Excellent service very clean very delicious food well recommended 100%“

“Great food great drinks awesome service great place to party“

“love bringing my friends and family here! Great food and amazing service.“

“The food here is just excellent. It's consistently my favorite Mexican food in the entire city, and everyone I bring here seems to feel the same way. But I do worry that this restaurant won't last. The service is friendly but lackadaisical, almost every time I visit the experience starts with a list of things they're out of, and the restaurant is seldom busy. So guys, please get your marketing and customer experience figured out! Because I love you and I want you to be successful for the long-term.“
