50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hazel Crest

“I went here for the first time and my experience was great all around. The restaurant was extremely clean. The employees were super friendly. It didn’t take too long to get my order and everything was hot/fresh and delicious. They didn’t have one of the items I ordered, but they were accommodating in offering other options.

My second visit wasn’t as great. When I got there, the drive thru and lobby had NO customers. So I decided to run in and grab my order. I had a small order. I ended up waiting 15 minutes for my order. Which wouldn’t have been a problem. Except in the time I was waiting, I saw 3 or 4 cars come through the drive thru, order, AND receive their food. All while I was still waiting for my order to be prepared. I was there first, plus I had ordered ahead, so I feel like my order should have been worked on first. It seemed like they were prioritizing all the drive thru customers who came way after me.

Also, they need to get their drink situation repaired. They said they didn’t have Gatorade punch, the lemonade strawberry squeeze AND the Baja blast freeze.

The food was still good. But because of the service this time, I’m dropping my review from 5 stars down to 4.“

“I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling.

“I was in town on business and wanted to support a local place. Great decision on my part coming here. I ordered the Walking Taco with Doritos. Excellent! I also ordered some of their strawberry cheesecake ice cream and it was delicious as well. They have a couple of selfie backgrounds and the menu boards are eye catching and helpful. The music adds to to the vibe. Locals must love this place.“

“Me encanto la comida y el restaurante es muy bonito!!! 🤩“

“SoCal burrito 🔥🔥🔥🔥 @ new Alsip location.“

“Me and my friends stopped by here as a little pit stop to visit a friend of mine and i can not believe how good the food is. The service was amazing and got us our refills VERY fast….questionably fast. But they were all very very nice. Back to the food. Amazing. It was so good that one day we drove 1 and a half hours just to show our peers the deliciousness that was presented before us.

Overall: good place with good food lol“

“Como Cristiana me encanta visitar. Cuando me toca cerca de la TV le bajan al volumen para que la música secular no retumbe en mi oído. La birria y el pozole es lo que más pido pero todo tiene su gran sazón. Un excelente lugar para disfrutar, solo o en familia . Me encanta.“

“delicioso muy recomendable 👍“

“I drove 35 minutes for a birria pizza and they didn't give us the consomme. Food was good though.“

“It is heartwarming to see a family working hard and earning a living. It is take out only. We had the steak burrito and it was tasty and the meat was in generous portions and it was nice and hot on a cold rainy day. The prices are the best.$9.55 for a steak burrito is unbeatable. I highly recommend this place. Honest and hardworking folk.“

“Good food and great customer service“

“Good tacos in the SW suburbs. I will be back to try the burrito.“

“Me encanto la comida y el restaurante es muy bonito!!! 🤩“

“The Birria Tacos Are So Good...“

“A true local favorite with incredible meats.
This restaurant is a total hidden gem. It’s easy to see why the locals flock here—the food is consistently delicious and the service is incredibly welcoming. The lady at the front is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. I tried the steak tostada, which was excellent, and both the al pastor and steak tacos were top-notch. If you’re in the area, you definitely have to check this place out. The food comes out very fast, more of a take out spot and eat in the parking lot or take to go, very limited space inside.“

“I always come here to practice my Spanish and they're so nice and helpful. The food is a delicious reward. I've been going for almost a year and they have always been incredible people with incredible food. I feel incredibly safe and comfortable here.“

“Was at office next store saw they had tortas so asked if they did shrimp tortas as they also did shrimp burritos got that instead with avocado added.

Burrito was good, shrimp seemed cooked and fresh (although the first one I ate still had some shell or pieces of the tail on it, mistakes happen though.

Still was tasteful, bit heavy on cilantro but overall worth the 15 dollars or so I paid for it, would go back for sure.

Inside was nothing special but it was clean had decent seating for so small a space and they seemed to have lots of stuff to offer on the menu.“

“We love this place. It has great food, GREAT HOMEMADE SANGRIA!!!! The wait staff is fantastic!!! If you haven’t been here, you must try it.“

“Finally tried the pizza last night and it was delicious!!!“

“My brother and I got the quesabirria, birria tacos, and loaded nachos. The food was made fresh, and was quick to make. The food was incredible, very well seasoned and so flavorful. The amount of meat was honestly amazing, they did not skimp out. Our server was so sweet, and checked in on us multiple times. The restaurant looked clean, and the bathroom had both a urinal and toilet which were very clean. Awesome experience, can’t wait to be back soon!“

“Casa San Juan has the BEST authentic Mexican I have ever had! The pastor tacos are to die for! Margaritas are fantastic as well! Great for take out or for dine in for a cozy meal.“

Bernice, Sal, Antonio, Liz, Ulises and the rest, go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, relaxed and full 😌 If you go once, you’ll definitely go back! ❤️“

“I’ve been coming here for over a decade and it’s still the best place for Mexican food in Oak Lawn. The tacos always hit the spot and it’s got the best horchata around. Not to mention their salsa verde is my favorite! Every time I go there the servers are always friendly and their chefs are top notch. I hope they are open for many years to come.“

“Best steak tacos I ever had! Seasoned very well & hot!! This is my only spot for now on because it's DEFINITELY worth the money!!!“

“Hands down the best authentic Mexican spot in Harvey. The menudo was DELICIOUS. The gorditas are fresh and hand made. The service is fantastic. All the food is authentic. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. Great find while visiting a friend in the hospital“

“Had the pleasure of hosting my first baby shower here a few weeks back, and despite the covid issues we were still able to pull off an amazing party! With the help of the owner Jessica! Everything was wonderful, plenty of space for guests to keep a social distance, bar option available, a nice stage and Dj booth for music. Everything was very clean and modern. Jessica even helped us get decorated and set up. I couldn't have asked for a better venue! Everything turned out beautifully! Thank you City Limits! We will definitely be returning soon“

“My Abuela doesn't cook anymore so I needed a new place to get my Mexican taste buds satisfied! Taco Bell is only good late night after Nachos Tacos is closed! So get your food early and buy extra for later! I❤️ NachosTacos!“

“Muy buena comida excelente servicio“

“Was looking for a late night bite and was recommended by a friends to try this place. Best decision Id made all day. Everything we ordered was delicious. This included a torta, burrito, tacos and rice. We chose steak as our choice of meat, which was seasoned perfectly. 5 stars for great food, quick service and great business hours.

Update 2026: Still amazing!! Best Pico ever!“

“���Comida rapida y autentica... Don Memo diestro en la plancha � Prueben la salsa de habanero!“

“My partner and I stopped in for a quick bite. Our absolute favorite was the mini chicken burrito. We were fighting over the last bite!!! We’re looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu. Cheers!!“

“Burrito Express is great for take out. It may not have a lot of ambiance but the food is really good amd they are always friendly. I asked for fajitas with no peppers and onions for my son with food sensitivity, and they accommodated us with no issues. The quesadillas are really flavorful and filling. They are a go to for us.“

“very good plenty of food on the Gyros plate“
