50 Best Mexican Restaurants near East Dundee

“Awesome place, great party rooms!! Great food!! Friendly staff“

“I don’t know what would have happened if I haven’t order the Shrimp Cocktail (Medium). Just eating it without putting anything on it, had a sweet taste to it, and don’t know if I’ll ever come back to it. But I now have a favorite food there.🤤“

“The service was great and the food fantastic! Our servers was super nice and immediately brought some pico de gallo and chips. I had tacos (lengua, carne asada, and chile relleno). They were some of the best tacos I've had. The rest of the family said the chimichanga and burrito suizo were just as good! Highly recommend.“

“My brother and I stopped by earlier in the day and had an amazing experience! I had seen the restaurant on TikTok and we were able to go there today, I ordered the fajitas and he ordered three tacos and a gordita. We also ordered horchata

The horchata was honestly so good, smooth and creamy as well as refreshing, one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant!

My fajitas were absolutely fantastic, I ordered combination of steak and chicken and it was the best ever. The steak was juicy and tender and the chicken was so flavorful. Usually I don’t enjoy green peppers too much but you guys made them so yummy and the whole dish was flavorful

My brother chowed down on his Gordita and got full as he didn’t know it was going to be as big and full as it was and he was not disappointed. He said the tacos were also very good and will definitely be ordering both again!

The service was also great, the young women who I had seen on TikTok and the reason to stop by was so sweet to us and very kind. We will definitely be retuning :)“

“By far the best guacamole I’ve ever had! Love the burritos as well. However, I tried something new fish fries. Absolutely amazing! I’ve tried three different Mexican restaurants in town and this is the only one I eat at.“

“I was fan of La Poblanita I always recomended to friends and Family, my wife took me to La poblanita on Valentine's cause she knows I love it, Unfortunately the last 2 times is been dissapointed, food was tasteless and they charged me $.50 for extra lemon, I get it economy is bad, but If you going to charge for something that usually is Free at least let the customer Know, I dont think Im going back 😪😪.“

“It's hard to find Mexican restaurants to get absolutely everything right, this is the one. Rice and beans were great, Pollo a la Mexicana was the perfect amount of taste and spiciness. The cheese stretches multiple feet into the air like it was real fresh cheese melted to perfection. I can't recommend this place enough. The building is very cute and the staff is super nice.“

“Los mejores tacos de la región y el personal muy amable y los dueños ya ni se diga mis respetos para don José muy amable ,además cuentan con una michoacana y muy deliciosas paletas y helado Amo ir a comer tacos a la alcancia…“

“We tried the burrito al pastor and the veggie huarache, and everything was packed with flavor. The guacamole was fresh and creamy, and a touch of salt made it perfect. The rice and beans were fully vegetarian, which was great to see. My burrito was huge, nicely toasted, and every bite was satisfying. A really enjoyable meal from start to finish!“

“Su comida es muy rica y ek lugar es muy limpio y muy atentos con sus clientes!!“

“Tacos Tijuana style bursting in flavor. good tasting salsas. Cool looking inside. Waiting time when dining-in needs improvement.“

“Arrachera Mexican Grill has been exceptional since the moment I walked in. The service is amazing, friendly, fast, and they’ve treated me very well every time. I even got a free sample of their quesabirria, which came out quick and was delicious.

The consomé that comes with the quesabirria is rich and full of flavor. Not too strong or too light, just a perfect balance. A lot of places struggle to match their consomé to their quesabirria, but this spot really nails it.

The green salsa is creamy and pairs perfectly with their tacos, which are priced very fairly. Some places nearby charge close to $5 per taco, but here the prices feel perfect for the quality and flavor you get. The red salsa isn’t exactly my flavor palette, but that doesn’t take away from how good the food is overall.

I ordered the quesabirria, an arrachera taco, a chorizo taco, a torta cubana, and flan. Everything came out fresh, well seasoned, and full of flavor. The arrachera was tender and the flan was the perfect sweet finish.

As a Carpentersville native, I can honestly say this spot stands out above other established Mexican restaurants nearby. Better quality, better flavor, and better prices.

They’ve only been open about five months, but Arrachera Mexican Grill is already one of the best new spots in town. Highly recommend.“

There was also a mariachi band playing; they played "Happy Birthday" for me and even dedicated a song I really love to me ❤️“
