14 Best Mexican Restaurants in Evanston

“We went to Zentli on a Sunday evening. The ambience was welcoming and the waitstaff friendly and helpful. We ordered vegan food which was fresh, delicious and filling. My husband thought the Zentli Salad was excellent. We both had tacos (Nopales, zetas and verduras). We shared the vegan dessert, plantains with a vegan caramel cream sauce, which was quite tasty. We will return , perhaps for a weekend brunch.“

“I usually stop in here for a meal before I see a movie. The ingredients are SUPER fresh and delicious! I'm a fan of the nachos (be aware they are quite messy but so tasty) and the chicken bowl. There is ample seating inside and an outdoor area with patio furniture. You can order on the kiosk inside or with one of the folks working.“

“Delicious Mexican fare, including fresh tortilla chips, salsa, and guacamole. But the real standout was our server Aidenn, who was extremely warm and attentive, making for a fun and memorable afternoon.“

“Best bean burrito in Chicagoland!“

“Que tal ya estamos aqui en el restaurante esperandolos con sus donativos y alguna comida en cajas o en latas que usted desee dar a estas familias que necesitan. Hi! Come to Supreme Burrito today to donate and order food to fundraise for Latinos en Evanston North Shore and families in need of help this holiday season.“

“Way better than Chipotle!
Guzman y Gomez has great American-style-Mexican food. Their queso is so good! I really love this location since they are opened late. I work nights and everything in Evanston closes so early. For a college town, it seems more like a grumpy senior citizen town with nothing open past 9pm. So late night food that actually tastes great, is huge win for me. I recommend this place to everyone.“

“Our server was Trey!! I had the smash burger and a margarita! Everything was so delicious! I recommend this place to anyone! It is a Mexican spot so getting a burger was sorta strange but once I read the beef was mixed with Chorizo I was sold and just had to try it. It didn’t disappoint. The Guacamole/ salsa and chips were as very tasty! A must try“

“The Venezuelan sampler was great, and it featured pulled pork and beef brisket. We also enjoyed the plantains. We will be back.“

“Le Principal is a great local spot for the Evanston community!

The service was absolutely incredible! The staff is personable and trained to handle any situation with grace and humor. Eric Young, the owner, was very present in the restaurant. You can tell a love of food and community was poured into Le Principal.

Also, the churros are a must if you love a sweet treat!“

“First time here, will definitely return!!“

“Great, warm interior. Semi-circular tufted seat banquets and wall tables. Ask for server Ned B. Wine and ales very good. An order of Burrata came w toasted rolls, roasted tomato and pesto. Very good. Fried Calamari was nicely cooked and had a side of ginger dipping sauce, also good.Surprised at the 15% meals tax. I’m from out of state.“
