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 highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.“

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

“Unbelievably good. The desserts are what they're known for; they used to have knockoff chipotle hot food but recently they changed the menu and everything is AMAZING. Very well made and a very creative menu. Whenever i go in it's not crowded, and it should be. Best mexican food in tinley, and nobody has ice cream and so many different other treats to go with the hot menu.“

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

“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 👍“

“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“

“buenísimo servicio y la comida un zason pura sabrosura delicioso.“

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

“This place is great! Definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere was so welcoming and the staff is really friendly. But OMG the food was fantastic!!! I ordered the Birria tacos with a side of rice and beans. I also ordered a steak burrito with a large Horchata. Everything was fresh and the meat was really tender. I also ordered a strawberry frozen margarita it was deliciously made with a patron sugar on the rim. And yes I ordered tacos to-go everything was just that good! And the pricing was decently fair. Definitely a place I’ll be bringing my spouse for date night and my bestfriend for girls night.“

“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.“

“Finally tried the pizza last night and it 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!“

“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!“

“I love supporting family owned businesses. Love that this is an option in the area late nights as there’s not many food options nearby. The chicken quesadilla is my favorite and I love how juicy it is!

Vegetarian options: You can ask them to modify your order to vegetarian-based.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“very good plenty of food on the Gyros plate“
