“Our Estillos Barber Studio team has visited Amerikas Restaurant a few times now, and it’s quickly becoming one of our favorite spots in Oak Park. Great mix of good energy, great people, and a welcoming atmosphere.
What We Enjoyed
On our visits, we ordered:
* French Toast
* Latte
* Chicaliquiles
*Tortilla Soup
*New York Steak & Eggs
Everything came out consistently well prepared and satisfying, which is why we didn’t hesitate to return. And we will definitely try other things from the menu.
Shout out to Paloma, who took care of us last time we were there and to the rest of the staff with the same hospitality and welcomeming vibe.“

“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.“

Whenever I'm visiting I make it a point to come here, it can get a little confusing on Google Maps so just make sure to slow down when you get close! I've tried a lot, but my favorite is the Pechuga Asada, 10/10! Food always comes out hot and fresh so it hits so close to home.“
