Mexican Restaurants near Crete

“I'm from Indiana
Came out here to buy some baseball cards on FB marketplace. Saw Chuck's was a bar and Super Burrito inside 😳 I don't drink, but they had the Cubs game on and I'm eating a steak burrito 🌯 let me just say... Delicious 😋“

“I can't believe I'm about to give this taco bell 5 stars but I have to b/c what a difference new employees can make!! The crunchy tacos were filled like they used to be back in the day & the service was professional, welcoming & quick. We've given this place a try a few times when it opened but the service was horrible & took forever & forget about ever trying to go in there to eat. Hopefully they keep this up b/c Culver's next door is loaded w/ cars & the line would still move faster.“

“Amazing service. This was our first time and we loved everything from the service to the food and the music.My kids enjoyed it. they even got to show off some moves and got some Ice-cream. I highly recommend.“

“My lunch was so good! Drink was pretty tasty too! And the service was fantastic!“

“Great burrito. Great atmosphere. Good rices.“

“Como Cristiana me encanta visitar. Cuando me toca cerca de la TV le bajan al volumen para que la música secular no retumbe en mi oído. La birria y el pozole es lo que más pido pero todo tiene su gran sazón. Un excelente lugar para disfrutar, solo o en familia . Me encanta.“

“Folks food is fantastic, truck driver here from Texas and I will definitely admit this place is Good!!! I try not to listen to reviews and try things for myself but I will definitely agree to say, OMG!!! Burritos are fantastic stuff and full of flavor. To my drivers stop and get some great tasting food, to everyone else there’s no reason not to try. Also prices are very favorable. Must try.“

“First time there food was amazing, service was great and restaurant is beautiful“

“Always friendly and food and drinks made fresh. Enjoy that owner came to ask how our meal was. Surprised that they offered a free taco lunch on my birthday. This makes about 6-8 times I’ve been here, with the same great food and service. I highly recommend going here when Mexican food is on your mind.“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“Food is amazing service is greatttt“

“Amazing food! Biggest burritos I have ever seen!“

“Cuando entre no pense que me encantaria la comida. Pero es una de las mejores enchiladas de asada que eh comido, que hasta el plato limpie. No caen pesadas a tu estomago . Muy buena comida 🍲 Me encantaron!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I called in my order yesterday and when I arrived one item wasn't in the bag...the order taker didn't write it down. So I waited about 10 minutes. Another person came in after me with the same issue...the order taker didn't accurately capture the order.“

“Very great food and people“

“My husband and I love Habaneros! The salsa is fire ?! We order our tacos a little different…. And they get it right every time! We like it much better than the competition in town…. Always our go to spot!! Thanks for being awesome!!“

“I'm new to the area and was looking for some good Mexican food 😋 this place didn't let down just had dinner and it was delicious“

“No recomiendo nada compre dos cabezas para la cena de fin de año y me salieron crudas fui varias veces a reclamar y siempre me dicen que el dueño no está“

“My partner and I stopped in for a quick bite. Our absolute favorite was the mini chicken burrito. We were fighting over the last bite!!! We’re looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu. Cheers!!“

“Best steak tacos I ever had! Seasoned very well & hot!! This is my only spot for now on because it's DEFINITELY worth the money!!!“

“Great food wonderful customer service“

“La mejor atención, los mejores caldos y quesadillas… Ni hablar de las tortillas hechas a mano x las que mucha gente maneja haarto para comerlas! Todo en este lugar es delicioso! Y la salsa de aguacate es única en todo Chicago.“

“My Abuela doesn't cook anymore so I needed a new place to get my Mexican taste buds satisfied! Taco Bell is only good late night after Nachos Tacos is closed! So get your food early and buy extra for later! I❤️ NachosTacos!“

“1/2 price. Margaritas 🍹 🍹 🍹“

“Ta Canijo is such a gem! The food is always fresh and packed with authentic flavor, and I love that they have so many options to choose from. The customer service is just as amazing—everyone is so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots to eat!“

“very good plenty of food on the Gyros plate“

“Best pastor around! Super friendly and always good!“

“I LOVE the jerk chicken tacos, they are so FYE!!!! Whoever would”ve thought or known that a Mexican/Latino place can make jerk chicken tacos BETTER than these African places and I STAND on that! I don’t even get any sauce because it’s not needed. Im hooked to the point I haven’t even tried anything else on the menu besides the Mexican corn and it’s fye too! Eventually I will try other menu items but right now I just can’t get pass them JERK CHICKEN TACOS that I eat at least 3 times a week. They NEVER disappoint!“

“Need to start selling Tamales and salsa if at all possible 👍“

“I went and the customer service was amazing food was good and well seasoned 10 outta 10 would recommend“

“MUY BUENOS MARISCOS Y EL MENUDITO LOS FINES DE SEMANA 😋PRA LEVANTAMUERTOS RECOMENDADO 🎩👍🏽“

“The food was very good, the only thing I didn't like was that the tip was charged without explanation.
Plate $16
Drink $3
A total of $19 plus taxes would be $21 and they charged me $27. I asked why and they told me taxes... the same thing happened to three other people at that time and the answer was the same. Once again the food was very tasty but tipping would have to be an option and believe me I always leave a good tip.“

“primera ves q compro tacos y me encantaron muy buen sabor la carne en su punto se los recomiendo 💯“

“Great service and friendly staff. Great place to unwind!“

“The stars are for the Dyer restaurant. I've also been to Lansing (on Torrence Ave). I'll tell you about both and compare them for you, but all I've ever eaten here is barbacoa because you can't find it by my house & I LOVE it. (My husband has tried a couple of other things, but he'd never had barbacoa before and once he tried mine, that's all he's eaten, also. 😂)

🔸Dyer - I've been here many times. It's not fancy, but it's clean and the service is quick. I've eaten inside and taken my food to go. You order at the counter and they bring you the food which is DELICIOUS‼️ It's the best barbacoa I've had in YEARS! So good! 😋

🔸Lansing - I've only been here once. I took my food to go. It looks a little fancier (more colorful and modern) and it appeared as though they had more people working there, but the service didn't seem quite as fast as in Dyer, and this restaurant is on the corner of a very busy street, and it was dinner time. (The Dyer restaurant is not as big for inside dining, but it's also very busy. However, it's located in a not very busy corner mall.)

I was disappointed in Lansing's barbacoa after having eaten Dyer's many times and come to expect steady perfection. Here, it was dark and dried out. It's a good thing I ordered some guacamole on the side to add to my tacos. I always order extra cheese on my tacos but here, I don't think I even got the normal amount and I paid almost a dollar a taco for it. (So much for my "Taco Tuesday" discount.) My husband ordered the same in a burrito and he felt the same way that I did. We were very disappointed when we got home - and the food was still very hot, so we can't blame it on that.

I never thought to order guacamole in Dyer, but in Lansing they have an open freezer (to the side) for Mexican popsicles and such, and an open fridge right at the counter, so the guacamole, amongst other things (I don't remember what), were impossible to ignore. I did appreciate that they offered two kinds - with everything and plain. Not only was it very tasty, but I had a small amount left because I didn't eat all of my food at once, and the guacamole stayed fresh and green in my fridge for TWO DAYS! Unheard of!

So, all in all, I might try the Lansing location again, but the Dyer location is totally in my heart for their barbacoa and people. Time after time it's been tender and scrumptious and the people are warm and friendly - something I cannot say about the Lansing location.

Btw, both places have plenty of free parking - in Lansing, on both sides of the building and in Dyer, a large, shared lot right in front. Wheelchair accessibility is good in Dyer, but I think it would be more difficult in Lansing.“

“I truly enjoyed my chicken burrito. The meat was tender, veggies fresh and seasoned just right. Came with a side to Mexican rice and beans, which was also very good. The server was very friendly and helped me pick a delicious strawberry churro fir dessert. 😋“

“I’ve tried multiple locations. Great tacos and cold beer at a good price. Me and my friends love coming for some good food and some Coronas. My girlfriend loves the margaritas. Cecina and tripa tacos are my favorites. 👍“

“It was a comp service never in any restaurant, they served us very quickly and the food was very delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Why is there space between the tables?

Wheelchair accessibility: It has no steps“

“the salmon is fresh and delicious but too much salt i usually like salt but the cook needs too go easy on the salt and the shrimp and grits had too much salt.“

“I recommend everything! Great food, great staff!!“

“Go to fhis El Mariachi ll not the one by 151st and Torrence. These Nachos are to kill for ?????. They season their beef. Its oretty darn good compared to 7 Mexican restauant s around there. Their green enchiladas is tasty ???. Their Margaritas mmm $5 a glass worth it ?? the place is cute and small, but worth it ??

Parking: Theres enuff spots to park. And its got gambling slots there.

Kid-friendliness: Yep bring the kids their are 2 big tv in there ??“

“Good place to drink. Food is pretty decent. Go when it's busy though if you are eating, otherwise the service is super slow. They don't tend to make rounds to check on you when there aren't alot of people.

Come for a drink anytime though, bartender is very attentive.“

“Food was good, server was attentive, but nickle and diming people for extra chips and salsa and stuff like that is why the restaurant is empty on a Sunday afternoon. People don’t come back if they don’t think it’s a deal. It puts a bad taste in people’s mouth regardless of how good the food is. I’m not going back because I felt like they were trying to swindle me. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.“

“Upon walking in, place was clean. I ordered the quedabirria dinner + 1 extra, cus I’m big back. Got the horchata to go with it. The consomé was fire, tacos were heavily filled, cheese still melting, rice tasty, no fat from the meat. Man o man that food was good. I was worried cus of the negative reviews but I’m so glad I tried it. Guys trust me I’m Latina, I know tacos lol these were FIRE! Oh and the customer service was pleasant. Food came out in 5 mins. 😊 Il be back but this time for MORE“

“Basic fast food but on point. Never been disappointed by anything and I've eaten here since like 5th grade. Beefs, Dogs all are good. Prices on point too, you might can find coupons in the mailers or papers that still circulate but I used to see them in the Value Saver that comes in the mail or the Penny Saver but that's been a while but really not checking for them either lol

Parking: Depends on location have been to almost all but definitely parking for at least 20 or more spacesmaybr.“

“This place has amazing tacos de carnitas !!!! The meat was so tender and juicy. No fat on the tacos I had. It’s a 20 min drive from my house in Gary but man it’s worth the drive. I highly recommend. I had 2 tacos de carnitas 1 asada 1 apastor and 1 large agua de Jamaica. Total was $18“

“great soup!“

“I’ve tried multiple locations. Great tacos and cold beer at a good price. Me and my friends love coming for some good food and some Coronas. My girlfriend loves the margaritas. Cecina and tripa tacos are my favorites. 👍“

“I did a pick up order through the rapid lane, and it was the best experience that I have ever had picking up a food order! Sierra really went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy. Moving forward, I will go out of my way to patron this Chipotle because of her assistance and willingness to accommodate me!“

“We ordered taco meals that came with your choice of meat. The meals came with rice and refried beans. It was very good. But the young lady that took our order was not friendly nor warm to us. She smiled and was friendly to only Mexican customers. It's sad that we are still experiencing this type of behavior in the 20the century. Business owners should be way more concerned with the value of their service and quality of food. We are spending money just like everyone else. It's the customers that keep business open not a color of skin or culture. I won't be back.“
