10 Best Mexican Restaurants in Downers Grove

“Great little place, great food. Love the steak tacos and burritos .“

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.“

“Maya Tacos isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a whole vibe. You can eat, shop, walk around, come back and eat again (no judgment), grab a Starbucks, and catch a movie afterwards. My stomach has never been happier. Indian Spanish fusion done right, welcoming vibe, top notch salsa bar, and service that actually cares. Honestly? I go for the tacos, stay for the plaza energy, and leave with zero regrets. One of a kind.“

“I seriously love this place — Los Burritos never disappoints. The steak tacos are my absolute favorite: flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. It’s a little on the expensive side, but the quality makes it worth it. This is actual Mexican food, not some watered-down “white people” version — it tastes authentic and legit every time. Most of the staff mainly speak Spanish, so there’s a slight language barrier, but they’re incredibly sweet and always make sure the order is right. It’s one of my favorite spots and I’ll keep going back as long as they’re around.“

“Excellent service, the food was fresh and hot. We had good service the whole time. Definitely will become a regular.“

“small place, nice decor, good food, price is right for what they serve.“

“Had a great experience here. Miguel runs a great bar and knows how to make the guest feel right at home. I order led some takeout and a couple margaritas and was actually blown away by the food and service. When a bartender/establishment blows away my expectations it really makes my day. Money well spent at Fonda de Paola. Thanks Fonda and big thanks to Miguel for the incredible hospitality!!!!!!“

“Food and service are both excellent. Greeted with a smile, food is made to order, so no microwaved dish......I had chicken/shrimp fajitas the first visit and they were DELICIOUS!! Went back second time with a relative, got the shrimp diablo......should have taken the server's advice about the heat, but I didn't, therefore I suffered 🥲 the consequence......she was awesome though and had the heat taken down for me. Owner came out to greet guests and was super sweet. This place is a hidden jewel that has some of the best Mexican food in the area. I would say take my word for it, but being that you probably don't know me, don't take my word for it, go try it for yourself!!“

“Delicious food! Very clean inside. A great spot to check out.“

“Love the warm Salsa. Food is good. My husband and I try to drive out once or twice a year for date night.“
