50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lynwood

“Food was good, server was attentive, but nickle and diming people for extra chips and salsa and stuff like that is why the restaurant is empty on a Sunday afternoon. People don’t come back if they don’t think it’s a deal. It puts a bad taste in people’s mouth regardless of how good the food is. I’m not going back because I felt like they were trying to swindle me. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.“

“Me facino!! el ambiente y personal son muy agradables, pero sobre todo la comida es super Deliciosa“

“I wish I’d taken a pic of my food, but I was too busy eating it LOL. I would’ve given them 5 stars if they made my order correctly. I ordered steak with cheese/tomato/lettuce and chicken with onions/cilantro/sour cream. Instead I received steak with lettuce/tomato/sour cream and chicken with onions/cilantro/cheese.

If the order would’ve been right, I would have given 5 stars! The flavor of the meat was perfect, and the limes really set it off. That’s how you know there’s real seasoning. The staff was SO NICE and even gave me directions when my gps did me dirty ?

You can beat the prices, and the addition of cucumbers, radishes, and roasted jalapeños really rounded out my tacos.

I’ll definitely be back!“

“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Listen this is an amazing taco truck. I have not been a food truck fan but the pictures caught my attention. I ordered the chicken taco dinner and from the refried beans to each taco the flavors were amazing. I didn’t get a chance to try the rice because it was so much food and my husband left it out. My food looked exactly like the pictures. I was to hungry at the time to take a picture for this review but I will on my next visit. I’ll be back!“

“Really great chicken tacos!“

“Small town charm. Taco stand in the back corner of a bar. You eat here. You don't dine here. We prefer take out. We've traveled coast to coast & border to border for over 50 years trying Mexican food everywhere. This is our top choice for the best Mexican dishes anywhere.“

“Man these Tacos and Tortas are the best. Every time I am in the South suburbs I come here to grab some. They are cash only so come with cash. The guy's been working here forever. They just recently repainted and remodeled just a little bit. The food is the same from years ago when I was coming here. I'm glad they're back open“

“Tacos, Tostadas, & Tortas so far. amazing (all steak). Just happened to want tacos & saw the sign. Diamond in the ruff..“

“Had lunch here, food was pretty good. Location was previously a different "UFO" restaurant, that had since closed and re-opened as the current Mexican place. At the time I was last there, the Google Maps entry for this place hadn't updated yet, so this review was added belatedly.“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“I get the chicken quesadillas here all the time, and they are always delicious!“

“The food is good. Best Pozole and Menudo on the south side. Place is very small and not well ventilated, and it gets very smoky. I don't know if they need a bigger and better exhaust fan for the smoke or what. But the place can sometimes be hard to breathe in. Bathrooms are cramped, with old stucco walls and a very old, worn-out faucet and sink. Can't be easy to keep clean. The place could use a face-lift. For such a small place the service could be better.“

“Great Service and food that is satisfying as well!“

“Man these Tacos and Tortas are the best. Every time I am in the South suburbs I come here to grab some. They are cash only so come with cash. The guy's been working here forever.

“I had my 40th birthday here over the weekend using the party room with about 40 people. Everything turned out so nice. The food was delicious, the servers were very accommodating, there was live music (which I didn’t know about and many people in the party enjoyed) and a DJ at night. We had a blast and I’m so glad that I did the party here. I had a decorator come to add balloons, and some decor. I was worried that the room would be too small, but it worked out perfectly. Thank you Emilio’s for hosting my special event, we had a great time!“

“I love this place. They are fast, efficient and kind. Their sauces are the best around. I eat vegetarian dishes, so the condiments really make a difference. This place is the best, the prices are good. I have been coming here for many many years. Let's keep the place here for a long long time! Back in the day I found myself eating there several times a week!

Vegetarian options: Tacos, burritos probably anything you ask.“
