“Simply AMAZING! Ochoa’s is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. We recently used them for catering (25 people), and everything exceeded our expectations. Communication was top-notch, portions were huge, and the food was incredible. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the juicy chicken and steak, the homemade chips and salsas, and guacamole that could honestly be eaten by the spoonful. Mr. Ochoa truly takes pride in his food — you can taste the love in every bite. Highly recommend for both dining in and catering!“

“Went with my son, he had the steak tacos, I had a steak torta. Food was really good and fresh! Staff is friendly & courteous! Place is very clean! Highly recommend! We will be going again!“

“First time there. The salsa is the best salsa I have ever had so if I return I will be getting that. I was with one other person and we split the “Nacho Mama Nachos” which were really good, but had the tiniest scoop of guacamole which was not impressive. The watermelon frozen margarita was the WORST margarita I have ever had and I had to send it back because I couldn’t continue to drink it and I just had water for the rest of the night. They have quite an extensive drink list so I would try a different margarita but not that one.“

“Super friendly staff, especially Jenna, the lady that helped me--I forgot her name and also Jennifer! The guy behind the counter and whoever was working the kitchen were smiling and kind as well. Food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the shrimp bowl. The citrus lime sauce is amazing. The guac is super delicious. I will be coming here often.“

“Fue mi primera ves en este lugar y la verdad pedí unas costillas de res y la verdad estaban súper deliciosas“

“Got a barbacoa burrito to go, that thing WAS stuffed with meat. I say was in all caps because that burrito was not long for this world and has found a new home in my stomach. Last meal level burrito that came with enough meat in it for you to cry at the idea you ever considered going to any of those other half-butt “burrito” restaurants. Not to mention the cashier warned me about the burrito being a little messy?? Absolutely not. The tortilla held strong against my vicious attacks to. the. last. bite. Amazing food awesome service. Dope barbacoa“

“Delicioso 😋 y el servicio excelente“

“This restaurant will be a new fresh Mexican cuisine favorite for us! From the outside you wouldn't know the clean, open, friendly atmosphere inside. Everything ordered at our table was delicious. Our waitress, Carmen, was fantastic - so attentive, friendly, thorough and helpful. Food came out quickly and perfectly. Compliments to all!“

“great customer service and food is really good“

“Great food. Love their steak tostadas.“

“This is a hidden gem. I wasn't aware of this restaurant until recently. I like the many options available for meats, salsa, toppings, corn or flour tortillas, etc. I've had the burrito bowl most recently. The chicken is moist and not overcooked and dry, the Pico is fresh, a wide variety of salsa choices from mild to hot. It's so nice to have a great go-to restaurant that's not the usual fast food fare and a really good Mexican restaurant nearby.“

“The food here is flavorful and freshly made, with generous portions that make it worth the price. The tacos are packed with taste, and the pizza has a nice crisp crust with plenty of toppings. Service is quick, and the staff are welcoming, making the dining experience even better. The place is clean and has a comfortable, casual vibe. It’s a great spot for grabbing a quick meal or enjoying dinner with friends“

“Straight fire. Been here many times and never had a bad experience. They recently added birria and $3 margaritas which is an insane deal. If they push more for it to be a bar spot with those prices it would be packed 24/7. Will continue to come here for awesome food.“

“Had a fantastic night at a painting event they had. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. It's a very fun and welcoming environment.“

“Karla at Cilantros is truly a gem! She’s always so sweet, welcoming, and incredibly hardworking. No matter how busy it gets, she handles everything with a smile and makes every customer feel appreciated. Her positive energy and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. Cilantros is lucky to have her!“

“Muy amables y las gorditas están riquísimas. También tienen opciones vegetarianas. ¡Vamos a regresar pronto!“

“Very, very good lunch menu! Family owned, I will definitely be back!!!“

“Delicious! We saw the recommendation on Dine In/Dine Out Lake Bluff /Lake Forest Facebook page. So we decided to try it tonight. We were NOT disappointed. Service was friendly, nice casual dining spot. Great bar choices. The meal was delicious - we had the skirt steak and the flavor was top notch. My meal came with 4 shrimp and prepared well, not spicy. The flavors were yum and truly can’t wait to go back. From reviews the seafood looks delicious. We will try that next time!“

“After returning from our trip late at night, we found ourselves quite hungry and eager to avoid fast food. A quick search led us to a fantastic 24-hour restaurant that exceeded our expectations. The food was not only delicious but also offered a satisfying alternative to the usual fast-food options. We were thrilled to discover such a gem, making our late-night dining experience truly enjoyable.“
