“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“Needed to kill time while my girlfriend's car was being worked on...we saw this place and decided to stop for breakfast.
This is one of those moments where wonder happens when you least expect it!
The diner counter style seating let's you watch all the action. The, obviously, fresh ingredients that were being piled upon my giant tortilla were becoming a Mt Everest size stack and made me wonder if the chef could possibly wrap it up into a breakfast burrito.
She did...and it was amazing!
I could only eat one half.
Air was enormous whilst only carrying an 11.00 USD price tag.
Absolutely outrageous!

I wholeheartedly recommend Santa Masa!

BTW... everyone was so kind and full of smiles.“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“Ambiance was fun, yet warm and authentic. Service was friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. We’ve been looking for an alternative to our regular Mexican restaurant. We will return.“

“Soooooo goooddd! Best asada taco I’ve had in a while!“

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“Terrace Cantina is hands-down our favorite Mexican restaurant, and it has been for years. It’s one of those truly underrated gems that makes you wonder how more people don’t know about it—especially when it’s so much better than any chain restaurant around.

The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels like comfort food you crave and something special at the same time. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, perfect whether you’re out for a casual dinner or celebrating something.

What really sets Terrace Cantina apart, though, are the people. The owners are wonderful, the servers are attentive and kind, and you genuinely feel appreciated every time you walk in. Even our toddler loves it here and begs to go after daycare—which says a lot. They’re patient, friendly, and make dining with a little one feel easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food in a place that feels like a community favorite (not a corporate chain), Terrace Cantina is it. We’ll keep coming back—just like we always have.“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Good tacos ! The steak tacos are really good here .“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“The ONLY bad thing about this taqueria is how long it took me to realize #1 how close it was to my house, and #2 how DELICIOUS all of their food is!!!

This last summer I couldn't wait to sneak out of the house for a quick taco and a good book and their cute little patio section, which I did every chance I got. The staff are all super sweet. They are a cash only establishment.

My three go-to tacos are:
#1- The Texano - Shrimp cooked with chorizo with cabbage.... the shrimp is always fresh and tasty, and never rubbery
#2 - The Arriero - Steak, black beans, peppers, cheese, and nopales, all a perfect combination with one another!
#3 - The Happy Taco - Pork with onions, jalapenos, and zucchini

My husband loves their burritos, but I almost ALWAYS get one, two, or all three of these options when I go. Two tacos generally fill me up because they do a great job of not skimping on ingredients. The inside sit down area is very small, and looks like it could maybe accommodate 3 people at the window area. Still a perfect to-go spot when it's cold. I know I saw another location not too far away, so I'm curious to check them out as well. I usually walk over, but parking finding street parking doesn't seem to be a huge problem either.“

“Doris was extremely helpful, and honestly the entire staff was amazing. We had a great time celebrating foxy birthday. Fat Rosie’s food is always on point—I've been here quite a few times and I really love how consistent everything is. That consistency keeps me coming back, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“Used to come here younger years after hard night of drinking, food was great then and today after all these years later.“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“Unique outlay of the restaurant, and a lovely salsa when you first sit down!!! Haven’t had warm salsa in a long time. I was also delighted with the cup of soup before the meal!!! Everything about our visit was fantastic. I’m especially glad to support businesses like this one.“

“Great people who work here/run the restaurant and phenomenal food! My bf and I eat here at least once, if not twice a week lol“

“We enjoyed so many of the food options! Some of our favorites are tacos, bowls, and burritos! The restaurant is clean and the staff are kind and attentive.“

“Don’t skip on this place! This restaurant is very very good and underrated. Service and food is amazing. Lady that was serving us explained it was her and her family’s business and they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is easily one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend. Enchiladas estilo Jalisco and flautas are my favorite. We can’t get enough! We hope they stick around for many many years to come.“

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.“

“Wow!!! First time here & I must say 10/10
Everything was great food is delicious, very fresh. Place is super clean I love the decor so tropical. They’re drinks oh my goshhh amazing! I can’t wait to go back here and bring my friends!!!!“

“My husband and I have been there 2 times for lunch. We had the same server both time. This place is so good. The food is authentic and amazing. The server is very kind and knowledgeable he make amazing drinks. The margaritas are 10/10. We went for lunch both times. We will return.“

“Excelente atencion y muy buena comida 💕“

“The food was amazing. The staff was amazing.. what i did not like was that in the menu it stated that party of 5 or more gratuity is included 20% we were a party of 4 and they automatically included it the tip was $60 and some change although everything was great it was not a $60 tip the bus runners came to our table more than the waiter did. That's illegal... We still paid because I was just in a good mood and the food was great but it shouldn't be allowed and if that's something the restaurant is allowing and making them do than that's crazy and one day someone will make a real complaint“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh—seriously, even the water tasted super refreshing, which is a rarity!

I decided to try the marlin ceviche, and it was a game-changer. The marlin was perfectly marinated, bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. For my main dish, I ordered the huevos rancheros, and it did not disappoint! The eggs were cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich and savory sauce that tied everything together. Both dishes were so good that I found myself savoring every bite.

I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend visiting restaurant! You won’t regret it!“

“Excellent and authentic Mexican food. The salsa is ridiculously good, the chicken tortilla soup is amazing, the al pastor tacos are delicious, and the skirt steak is perfectly seasoned and grilled. Oh, and don't forget the margaritas! Staff is lovely and service is great! This continues to be our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Western suburbs!“

“Great Customer Service & Delicious Authentic Mexican food“

“Called ahead to place an order late morning on a weekday, worker proved to be fast and efficient. They get VERY busy on the weekends may have to wait a few minutes. Champurrado was pretty good. Personal favorite tamales GREEN CHICKEN & RAJAS 😋🔥Nice local taste of home!“

“This restaurant and the people in this establishment are incredible!
Customer service is top tier food is fresh, authentic and delicious. I appreciate that they are not all about money and took care of my baby girls. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area. Gudiño's is the BEST and highly recommended!“

“Una de las mejores birrias que he probado aquí en Estados Unidos. El servicio es de lo mejor,te hacen sentir en casa,ofrecen consomé extra sin cargo alguno al igual que tortillas…“

“Delicious steak tacos and mild sauce 10/10!!“

“Taco Maya is so good! If you've never been here, you have to go! There are a lot of tacos of different types here. One that I highly recommend for anyone to try is the Paneer taco! I ordered one to try and immediately regretted not getting more. The quesabirria is excellent! Try the coffee, too! You will be pleasantly surprised. The staff is very kind!“

“I ordered a half-diablo, half-green chilaquiles, while my husband opted for the morita ones. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The diablo chilaquiles were definitely made in hell, hahaha! Our favorite part was the side potatoes. The food tasted like breakfast made by grandma! The portions were huge; we only managed to finish half of it. And the coffee had that homemade taste. We’d go back for sure!“

“Amazing Mexican food! Indio is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever had in Chicago! I got the carne asada Gordita, Al Pastor burrito, and medium Horchata. Everything was delicious and filling. I will definitely be back again in the near future!“

“😻súper rico, recomiendo las fajitas de pollo o mixtas están súper ricas, ……“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“

“It is a small place but not only was the food delicious, the staff was especially kind and friendly towards our party that arrived. I certainly wouldn't mind coming back and would highly recommend their food if you're in the mood for homestyle Mexican food for lunch or dinner especially. Stop on by and give them a try.“

“this place is great! the food is fresh and always delicious and the staff are all so friendly. bonus points for having a booth at the car shows! it's become our weekly go-to. Hope to see them at the taste of Westmont next year!!“

“Excellent tacos and burritos here, with proteins including steak, chicken, beef, al pastor, lengua, tripa, carnitas, and cabeza. Also the vegetarian burrito is quite good. 5 stars!“

“We have been lucky to attend this hall on multiple occasions from a production company standpoint. The hall is not the best for sound reinforcement as you will need a separate rig pointed to where the main entrance is to ensure you will have even coverage for all patrons. However, it is a minor detail that with the right professional shouldn't be a problem. The catering was very good and the space looked very nice. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a nice event space.“

“The quesabirria tacos were so delicious! The consomé was full of flavor and the waitress and hostess were very nice!“

“Awesome environment and favorite place to get tacos!!!“
