8 Best Mexican Restaurants near East Peoria

“This is our absolute go-to Mexican restaurant. Hands down. I'm ready to head there now.

I'm working my way through their menus. So far, I want to try everything all over again. My kids can be particular, but they're always willing to try something new at Lorena's.

I'll come up with any excuse to eat at Lorenas. Mother's Day, birthday, felt like it, could wnell their grill while running errands, the day of the week ended with a 'y'.“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. I've been there many times.“

“The best tacos in East Peoria.“

“Chips and salsa: crunchy and tasty chips with a sweet salsa that hits the back of your tongue and throat with a hint of spice.

Margarita: Mango and Strawberry flavor with a good sugar and alcohol balance.

Main dishes: My wife had the fish taco and thought it was a little sweet, but not overly sweet. She used the cilantro mayo to help add some savory/spice. I had the birria tacos, which had so much flavor and a consommé with a nice spice. I also had an Al pastor taco with some pineapple to provide a sweet taste.

Seems like they lean more towards a sweet flavor in their dishes, which isn't terrible, and I like that twist, but I also like for my food to be more on the spicy side. Highly recommend others to come and try this place out.“

“The variety of dishes is pleasing to the eye and allows you to choose something to suit your taste. The prices are quite reasonable, making lunch accessible to everyone.
The food is fresh and delicious. The portions are ample and filling. I especially liked the selection of salads and soups.
The staff is polite and friendly. Service is fast, even during peak hours.
Overall, the cafeteria is a great place for a quick and inexpensive lunch. I highly recommend it! You can eat deliciously and have a pleasant time here.“
