New Mexican Restaurants near Lombard, IL

“Eating in the mall can be so disappointing sometimes and the choices that you have and the food that's prepared and in a failing mall it can be so much worse but sometimes you get lucky and find that diamond in the rough. For your tone wall I find this to be the one. If you're in search of quick service food and you like tacos this place makes it worth the trip to the mall. I checked out all the options and I had originally planned to have something from Billy Goat but they were closed. I checked out the chicken place next to this one and then I was reading the menu here and I thought, I can eat tacos. I can pretty much eat tacos any day. After checking out their menu I stepped up to the counter and a very friendly gentleman took care of me. I ordered the taco dinner which consists of three tacos with rice and beans. I got chorizo as my meat option even though it's a 50/50 for whether it will be good quality or not. I also ordered a bottle of water to drink. I got my number and sat at a table and waited for them to call me. When I walked up to get my food I was asked if I wanted any hot sauce, so I asked what they had that was very hot. He gave me two containers of this funky green sauce and said try this, you're going to love it. I took it but I was leery because I don't always like some of the green sauces. It seems on this trip I took all the right chances. The tacos were filled to overflowing with meat and then onion and cilantro over the top. The rice and beans were pretty standard as helpings and I mixed them together. First I took a bite of a taco with nothing extra added and it was amazingly good. I then took a chance and tried a little bit of the green sauce thinking I probably wouldn't use too much of it. In the end I put plenty on each taco and put most of the rest of it in the rice and beans. Everything that fell out of the tacos also went in with the rice and beans which made them almost a meal on their own. This was a refreshingly good meal. Just a great feel of Mexican street tacos that you can eat on the run. I would love to come back and try some of their other choices on the menu. If you have to eat at the mall try this place. They were doing a very steady business the whole time I was there and it was later in the day.“

“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!“

“The bartenders are excellent, polite and professional. The drinks are inexpensive and strong. The live bands get lit. However, it's geared towards Spanish speaking people.Bands are Spanish speaking and so are %99 of the people that go there.Don't let that discourage you!“

“Loved it and I'll be back! So I'm new to the burbs and was ecstatic when I found out there would be this trendy fusion restaurant opening up. My husband and I stumbled upon it on a Saturday early evening - just in time for an early dinner. I'm a huge Mexican food aficionado so I know my Mexican food. It's not your typical authentic Mexican food that you'd find in the city, but a bit more contemporary and still flavorful - and I can appreciate that! We ordered the guacamole with chips and salsa which I thought were great. We also ordered the Al pastor tacos, the chicken tinga and carne asada. We ended our dinner with the Mexican donuts. Overall, I would go back and order all of it except the chicken tinga which was a little too sweet for my liking. My favorite was the Al pastor. My husband loved the carne asada. I also had a delicious watermelon mocktail not listed on the menu but something the bartender created on a whim. Best of all, the staff and our server were extremely friendly and attentive. We had such a great experience, I would definitely be back and it feels wonderful to have something fun and new in town.“

“Amazing and extremely nice taco shop ?. Found it in the area and was a great place to eat and relax after a 9hrs drive. Food was delicious, and I tried three tacos (al pastor, pork belly, and dorado (fish)). Friendly staff and excellent service. I really enjoyed everything from the walls to the music, I didn’t want to leave. Hope to be back soon and I highly recommend it.“

“We tried Tapatio Mexican Grill for dinner. We were seated right away , no wait for a Saturday at 6 pm.Had a nice crowd. We were welcomed and servers were very friendly. Chips and salsa were very good. Dinner was fresh and hot. I had the Steak enchiladas dinner with green sauce, husband got steak burrito dinner. Margaritas were very good but on the sweet side. Very cute place, very clean. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back.“

“This place is always bumping and the folks that work there are always super nice. You can tell they care and it’s been awesome seeing them become even more successful over the years.You know the tacos are ?when the place has a bunch of people in it late on a random Wednesday night. Only problem is im addicted to their signature tacos so I haven’t tried as many things as I’d like to on their menu lol.“
