“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Orale Mexican Bar & grill and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that immediately transported us to Mexico. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic dishes, each bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We started with the guacamole and chips, which were both incredibly fresh and delicious. For our main course, we tried the chicken enchiladas green sauce and mole sauce and it did not disappoint. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every bite was a delight to the taste buds. The service was also impeccable. Our server Martha, Joel and Carlos were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The staff seemed genuinely passionate about sharing their love for Mexican cuisine with their customers, which added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant was lively and inviting, with colorful decor and Mexican music playing in the background. It truly felt like a little slice of Mexico right in the heart of Hanover Park. Overall, I highly recommend Orale Mexican Bar and grill to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience. Whether you’re a seasoned Mexican food enthusiast or trying it for the first time, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!“

“I’ve been there twice and plan on going more. The food is authentically delicious. If you go you have to try the Birria Egg Rolls,they are delicious. Also I must say even their rice is delicious. While you are there you may want to try their Margaritas. You can’t go wrong EVERYTHING is sinfully delicious.“

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

“I honestly don't want to tell you about this place. I want to keep this place a hidden gem that I can keep all to myself. The food is amazing, the pricing is great, the restaurant is well decorated and impeccably clean. I personally love the cemitas. They are similar to a torta with a flavorful twist and pair perfectly with an horchata. Enjoy!“

“This place is the best; reasonably priced for the amount of food you get and I personally love the fact their homemade chorizo is not greasy. Plus they've really been great with the curbside pickup during the pandemic. For the last year we've only gotten takeout from two or three places and this one is among them. Friendly service, great food and I can't recommend this place highly enough.“

“Went to La Hacienda de Roselle for lunch/dinner. Best place ever for Mexican food. They give you so much food and it is very inexpensive. The staff there is friendly and you get great service. I can't say enough how great the food is. Best Mexican Restaurant in all of the Suburbs of Illinois. It deserves 5 Stars and even more! Love it there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Consistently excellent friendly service and fresh, delicious authentic food.“

“Awesome and flavorful steak burrito! The rice and beans and salsa were also great.“

“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“

“We love the cheese enchiladas at Taco Pros. It is the best in the area.“

“The birria and chicken tinga are incredible!“

“Its a great place if you are looking for great tacos that is no nonsense. Place is inside the little Mexican grocery store and has three tables, doesn't look the prettiest but it is a great place. Reminds me of great taco joints in Cd. Juarez. Prices were great too. Food was made fresh because when I got my tacos and they were so hot I couldn't hold them long. Chicken tacos were excellent. Easily coming back here.“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“Really GREAT customer service! Steak taco dinner was fantastic! Loved the rice & beans. Horchata was delicious too. Very satisfying and great prices! The owner and his wife are so nice!“

“On top of the food being more then exceptional, the staff, (especially the lady that helps at the register are amazing.“

“Pleasantly surprised for such quick,great service,usually there is a down side but I didnt see.Will be back more on the regular.“

“Tried this place out for the first time recently. Ordered a couple of Al Pastor tacos and a Carne Asada burrito to go. Took a seat off to the side while I waited for my order to be cooked. The interior of Javi's, although compact, is very clean and tidy. They have a quaint dining area with several places to sit and eat. After a short wait, I received my food and headed home.

The burrito was great. They used good quality, well-trimmed, and seasoned grilled steak with no gristle or chewy bits. It was also loaded to the gills with cheese, beans, lettuce, sour cream, and tomato. It was a hot, delicious, greasy mess that left me all sweaty and desiring a nap afterward. It was a very drippy and somewhat sloppy burrito, so you should have plenty of napkins and wet wipes on hand. It's probably not an ideal car ride snack or meal.

The Al Pastor tacos were also fantastic. Savory and succulent well-marinated, then grilled pork with fresh and aromatic white onions and cilantro cradled within perfectly dense yet pillowy corn tortillas. Very good tacos. And their salsas were excellent. The red, in particular, packs a very subtle, smokey, and spicy punch.

Overall, I was very satisfied with my first experience. The portions were filling and delicious, the prices seemed fair, and their service is quick and efficient. I'll definitely be returning to try out their other menu items. Come on over and check them out. Cheers, Javi's Burritos!

Vegetarian options: Reject leaves. Embrace animal flesh.

Dietary restrictions: Probably not Halal or Kosher. I'd ask ahead about ingredients and food handling methods and preparation if you have any food-borne allergies or illnesses or religious obligations to uphold.

Parking: Very small parking lot. I'm talking about like 3 spots in their parking lot. There's more parking on the street when spots are open.

Kid-friendliness: They have a freezer filled with sweet treats that I'm sure the little ones will adore.

Wheelchair accessibility: No automatic door function. No stairs. No public restroom. Doors appear wide enough to accommodate a mobility aid.“

“Drove an hour for this food. Best Mexican food we ever had. Fresh and flavorful. See you soon!“

“I thought it was a very nice place. Atmosphere was lovely, food was fantastic, and the service was great. I am not a food expert but I thought the Enchilada Mole was excellent. Mole had a nice flavor. Lovely place to celebrate my 51st birthday!“

“Food was amazing and drinks were on point! The tortillas echas a mano really make the difference.“

“Love the nachos! Super yummy and a fun change up for lunch. The staff unfortunately created an uncomfortable dining experience with a lot of cussing and yelling coming from the kitchen. F’bombs about politics and covering shifts made for an unpleasant atmosphere. The lack of maintaining a professional environment or even a family friendly environment was lost today. Sounds like the staff needs a manager to be present. Take your nachos to go.“

“Darn good food. Got chorizo burrito, my favorite, and was delicious. I was full after eating half - I know what kinda man eats half a burrito but I was full and honest in my feelings so accept me for who I am. Service was great. Woman that took my order was nice, polite and helpful. All you need honestly. Restaurants dont need to be fancy if you have good food and food service. In this case both were great. Look it up and swing buy.“

“Great food and great service! Sopes are the go to.☺️ But Guacamole is the best.🤎“

“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!“

“A Hidden Gem on Plum Grove and Higgins – A Must-Try!

We recently visited this charming restaurant located conveniently on Plum Grove Road and Higgins, with easy access from entrances on both sides of the building (formerly a McDonald’s). It was our first time dining here, and the experience was fantastic from the moment we stepped inside.

The staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. When we mentioned it was our first visit, they went out of their way to explain the menu and highlight the house specialties. We started with chips and salsa, and what a treat! They served four varieties of salsa, each made fresh in-house. The flavors were unique and absolutely delicious—some of the best chips and salsa we've had in a while.

For our main dish, we opted for the fajita combo. The staff kindly asked how we preferred the steak, which we appreciated as it showed their attention to detail. When the sizzling fajitas arrived, they didn’t disappoint. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The chicken was equally amazing—juicy, well-seasoned, and just as satisfying.

The tortillas were kept warm in a tortilla warmer, which was a nice touch and exactly how I like them served. The sides of rice and beans complemented the meal perfectly. The rice was light and flavorful, and the creamy refried beans rounded out the plate.

The location is just three miles from our house, which makes it even more appealing for a quick and satisfying meal. We can’t wait to come back and try more items from the menu. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out—you won’t regret it!“

“Came from TikTok. Food was great had queso birrias, asada fries. Table was dirty had to have them clean it. had to ask for silverware it wasn’t placed with our food. Wasn’t directed to grab my drink out the cooler had to ask to make sure it was okay. But overall the food was great. napkins was on the wall? To make services better provide the information where the items are and greet with a smile. My opinion the silverware should be out on the counter if your not gonna put it on the trays.“

“This is our second time having Pancho's do onsite cooking/catering for a party at our home, and it won't be the last! Everything was fantastic from the moment I called to book the event with Susie to confirming with Jesus to the moment when Jorge and his partner left (sorry, I didn't catch her name). There was so much food, everyone kept complimenting how awesome the food was. I was worried about not having enough food but there was so much with lots of leftovers! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Their equipment was clean. They kept their area where they were cooking and serving organized and clean. When they left, there was no mess. I would, recommend them to anyone looking to have a taquiza at their home!“

“Tasty food, good drinks and very nice service. I recommend it.“

“Food is delicious! 🤤 Great service and atmosphere!“

“Tortillas fresh made are waiting for you!!!“

“Tacos Tijuana style bursting in flavor. good tasting salsas. Cool looking inside. Waiting time when dining-in needs improvement.“

“We love going to Mexico Uno! We just introduced our parents to it, and they can’t stop raving about it! Nicest people, great food, and warm and welcoming Mexican decor. Check it out!“

“Las mejores carnitas que he probado!!! La salsa roja y las tortillas hechas a mano hacen el complemento perfecto!! Excelente servicio y amabilidad!!“

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

“The food here is delicious I recommend the owners are so welcoming“

“I had a layover in Chicago with just enough time to get something to eat. This spot was a short walk from my gate and had clearly labeled vegan options. I went with their Very Veggie Burrito, and it was good. Definitely hit the spot and wasn't bad for being airport food. I just wish I had more time to sit down and enjoy my meal.“

“I’m a regular here. I only like 2 taco spots and this is my #1“

“We had a fantastic meal/Margaritas at Sammy’s Mexican Grill made even better by our amazing server, Martin! He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. His recommendations were spot on, and his service was exceptional. Thank you, Martin, for making our visit special! We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“This place is sooooooooooo good I can't stop coming here. Omg a must try. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this place. Yum yum yum. Hopefully they go nationwide. That would be awesome.

This place is so good that I can't stop coming here. My God, you have to try it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this place. Yum Yum Yum. I hope they reach the entire country. Which would be amazing.

How good that place is.“

“Food was very good. I ended up with chilaquiles (with chicken breast) and my friend got the pupusas and dobladas. Really solid, and I appreciate the subtle differences in flavors between the Guatamalan dishes and standard Mexican fare. However, only 4/5 because ordering (in English) was difficult. I tried to get grilled skirt steak and a green chicken enchilada (as a single item, listed that way on the menu) but what was originally brought out was 3 green chicken enchiladas. I explained the issue and thought it was clear but ended up getting brought the chilaquiles. My friend got his pupusas but the dobladas was not brought and had to be ordered again. The food was delicious and I'm not a picky eater so this wasn't a huge deal, but others that need to order a specific thing, in English, may have trouble. I will be back though, and I will brush up on my Spanish.“

“muy buena comida todo está muy rico“
