13 Best Mexican Restaurants in Evanston

“Amazing food and drinks every time I’ve gone. The mezcal tamarind is my favorite mezcal cocktail, so flavorful. The vegan pescado taco is now my favorite menu item (right after the mezcal tamarind) The vegan and vegetarian options are amazing. So often those options are an after thought on a menu, but here, those dishes are their own unique creations, making them very special options. Paired with super friendly staff and an amazing display of art, I’d recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for tasty, high end and flavorful Mexican food.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Tex mex food ive ever had, friends and family meal from the liquor store manager Kash recommended we try this restaurant and we were very impressed with the food and the service!“

“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!“

“Great food service and drinks“

“First time here, will definitely return!!“

“This is like a sit down food hall. Three restaurants food to choose from. I went with the patty melt while my wife and bonus son went with tortas from Taco Diablo. It’s a very cool concept.

The food was good as were the drinks. The service was good and we got chips and salsa to start, which was a nice touch.“
