New Mexican Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“This restaurant is the best! Service is excellent, friendly staff, best Mexican food ever. Different things on menu than usual fare. Place very clean. Soups, homemade drinks, and cakes are out of this world. You will not be disappointed! You gotta come here.“

“Mariscos San Pedro has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. The tuna tostada is amazing, definitely do the otoro upgrade. You can’t go wrong with any of the whole fish options, each are so flavorful and tender. The cocktails are really great and they have half priced bottles of wine on Mondays. I was hesitant but one of the chefs was explaining the Sonoran hot dog, and I️ couldn’t resist, it was amazing. They recently launched their brunch menu too and they have a lot of great selections and the pastries are incredible“

“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.“

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

“Good atmosphere, good food , unique experience“

“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.“

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

“Great place nice set up in the inside everyone there very friendly the owner is really cool dood I highly recommend this place“

“Great home cooking. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Quiet.“

“Alright, so I've had a craving for pozole rojo for a month or so now after not having it for years. I come in and literally get the last of the batch after 9pm.

-Tender pork
-Tender hominy
-excellent broth

It wasn't as spicy as I hoped but the fresh onions, radish, and the dried cilantro gave this an incredible punch. It didn't make me sweat without working out (shout out to the man at the counter), but my god this was one of the best things I have eaten in a long time. This soup is near perfect and the weather is going to help justify getting it a couple of times a month.“

“Friendly and fun atmosphere 😀😀“

“The food is great! That’s it.“

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

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

“I had my birthday party there for about 30 people. Food was great, atmosphere was amazing, and service is on point. Planning and communication with the manager was not difficult at all. All my friends gave compliments for choosing this restaurant and had a really wonderful time at this hidden gem. Need to check the place out!!“

“It’s a good, photo ready burrito, but it’s not a ton of food for 13 dollars. Al pastor is pretty tender and works well with the pineapple.

The lettuce is unnecessary and the red/green sauces are a nice contrast.

Still searching for better.“
