50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Deer Park

“Delicious food & drinks. Authentic atmosphere.“

“Mixed reviews about this place, but it was on when we went. Food was surprisingly good. It's not authentic, and it's not trying to be. Very tasty for what it is. Fancy Guacamole is good, fusion tacos are good, coconut shrimp with chutney was tasty.

Vibes are great decor is nice for a date. Service was great too. Just an overall great experience. If you want a nice place to try a little different take on Mexican food in a nice environment, this is it.“

“Amazing food and even better service ❤️ Raul’s really makes the best tacos I’ve ever had and I could eat them everyday. But they are always suggesting new things for me to try and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Whether it’s a first time guest or a regular customer they greet everyone like family dropping by for dinner. The food is so good my friends from out of state talk about it long after they go back home. All I can say is If you haven’t had Raul’s you are missing out!“

From the very first bite, you can tell they’ve mastered their craft—every taco is packed with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat and layered with bold, vibrant flavors that hit all the right notes. Nothing feels rushed or generic; everything tastes intentional and seriously satisfying. And then there are the gorditas—easily the standout. Rich, and stuffed to perfection, they’re the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you’ve left. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong here. Every item on the menu delivers the same level of quality and flavor, making it one of those rare places where you want to try everything. Bottom line: this spot isn’t just good—it’s a must. Whether you’re a taco lover or just someone who appreciates incredible Mexican food, you’ll leave already planning your next visit.“

“We just celebrated my wife's surprise 65th birthday Sunday with 14 family members. We chose El vado #2 Mexican Restaurant and couldn't be any happier. From them going out of their way purchasing ballons and banners to her complimentary frozen ice cream the service, food and drinks were phenomenal. Very warm and welcoming staff. Very appreciative of your business and fantastic atmosphere. Thank you for this memory. Never felt rushed. Everyone in our family raved on how great it was and was one of our best parties ever. Familiar with their other restaurant in McHenry which is also excellent and reasonably priced. You have to try this place if you like mexican food. A+++“

“We had such a genuinely great time visiting this location over the long weekend. Everything was super straightforward, easy to navigate, and exactly as it was originally described. It is just a really nice, relaxing spot to spend a little bit of your afternoon. I will absolutely be coming back here again soon to experience it all over again.“

“Highly recommend Mari's restaurant. The food and service at Mari's restaurant was excellent. Such an extensive menu! My family all ordered different things (zopes, flautas, a beef stew, pupusas and more). And we even had some delicious desserts including fried ice cream. The portions were very generous and the prices were amazing. The owner's whole family works there and you can tell that they put their heart into the business. I would highly recommend giving them a try.“

“Great dinner tonight. Mexican Indian Fusion. The seasoned chips were served hot and Salsas were flavorful. Portions were plentiful and the prices were family friendly. You can choose 3 different street tacos with rice and beans for $15! The staff was very attentive as we were outside dining. And the waiter left us a pitcher of water for the table. It was most appreciated. We definitely will return.“

“This is a taqueria within a small Mexican grocery store. The food is fabulous, the carne asada tacos are delicious but the barbacoa is also excellent, not to mention probably the best carnitas I've ever had outside of Chicago. The barbacoa and carnitas are also available by the pound which is an awesome option. The ambience is very basic, two tables and a few chairs, not pretty but the food is phenomenal and prices are very reasonable.“

“Really GREAT customer service! Steak taco dinner was fantastic! Loved the rice & beans. Horchata was delicious too. Very satisfying and great prices! The owner and his wife are so nice!“

“We went to Mago in Barrington last night for the first time and were blown away. They were very busy so we sat at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. Food was terrific and the menu features things you won’t find at your standard Mexican restaurant like three choices of mole. Tableside guacamole is absolutely lovely. I have to say, though, what made our experience was watching the magnificent bartender. His efficiency, speed, and obvious dedication to what he was doing was just a marvel. He never stopped moving! We will definitely be back as every aspect of our experience was very enjoyable.“

“Great food. Great service.“

“The best Mexican restaurant in town. My family and I have been eating there for over 20 years. The service is great, the food is always impeccable and delicious.

“Went with our daughter & 2 grandkids tonight. Our server was Jesus. He was absolutely the greatest. Treated my 4yr old grandson like an adult & was very patient with taking his order. The food was great & service was awesome too. Beyond satisfied Thank you Jesus!“

“Straight fire. Been here many times and never had a bad experience. They recently added birria and $3 margaritas which is an insane deal. If they push more for it to be a bar spot with those prices it would be packed 24/7. Will continue to come here for awesome food.“

“Stopped by on a whim and was very, very surprised. The outside is quite attractive with an outside eating area. The inside is nice and clean with plenty of seating. We ordered chips and salsa, Pollo with Mole, and the Steak Burrito Fajita. The chips are homemade (as expected) and very good. The chicken in the Pollo with Mole was super tender. The mole was rich. It came with homemade corn tortillas. The Steak Burrito is filled with fajita fillings, so steak, green and red peppers, and onions. The flour tortilla was filled and grilled giving the whole a nice smokey flavor. It was one of the very best burritos I have ever had. Look over my reviews. I have eaten a lot of burritos. They have a creamy salsa verde that is great, a very nice Roja sauce, and a hot sauce that is no joke hot. Our server was great and the whole experience was a great one. Will be back soon.“
