Mexican Restaurants near Lynwood

“Soooo it's Tuesday. Of course, I had to go to Taco Tuesday with margaritas. I went to 2 different spots, and they don't do taco Tuesday. LIKE WAAAATT!!! I found Margaritas bar and grill. This is around 1230. There are only a few cars in the parking lot. When I walked in, the host said Hey lady, dining in or to go? Which threw me off because nobody never greeted me like that. I didn't know whether to be offended, or that's the way she greeted women. Anyway, I sat by the bar. The bartender gave me chips n salsa. His name is Jesus r Josè. He told me about all the specials. He was super nice. I ordered the pastor tacos and a strawberry margarita on rocks. WHEN I TELL YOU THIS MAN KNOW HOW TO MIX DRINKS. MARGARITA WAS EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE. The pastor tacos were smackalicious good. I ate 3 of them. I also ordered a soupa with Pastor OMG EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS from the drinks to the food. I really enjoyed my time there. I had 4 margaritas ? and the prices are phenomenal. This is my new place on Tuesdays. Are you still reading GRAB YOUR FAMILY N FRIENDS N GO THERE NOOWWWW you will not b disappointed?“

“This taco truck did not miss! We both ordered tacos 2 different types and the flavor was there for both. I was delighted by the filling for the veggie tacos: beans, rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream, cheese and avocado. So delicious I really appreciated the freshness of the veggies. My co worker had steak tacos and a chicken quesadilla. I’ve never seen a more meat filled quesadilla. He said it had excellent flavor. We both are visitors at Ford and typically don’t have time to eat. Seeing the taco truck and learning of its popularity we were so happy to try it. This truck is well worth it, what you get for the price is flavor and value.“

“As a busy northwest indiana real estate agent in the go, Rubens is our local go-to Mexican food restaurant. Food quality is high and consistent. Prices are fair and food portions are good. Our favorite is getting the nachos supreme - we get 3 orders for our family of 4 and there’s always a good amount of leftovers left. ?Parking: Lots of available parking located steps from the front door“

“First time visiting this restaurant. A very different but pleasing atmosphere inside in that it's not your typical Mexican restaurant, well appointed and very clean. The service was attentive and the meal was delivered to the table as ordered.“

“I meet a friend once a month for lunch and he recommended trying the Santa Fe restaurant. After our arrival I found the decorations in the restaurant were excellent in that it reminded me of restaurants I had eaten in while vacationing in Mexico. The menu as expected was extensive and making a choice was difficult. I ordered the Chiles Rellenos that were very good. Our meals were excellent and we decided to return some time in the future. The wait staff provided us with very good service with attention to any additional needs we may have had. I have added this location to my personal list of good restaurants. I recommend you try The Santa Fe restaurant and decide for yourself.“

“The Birrierias were small yet yummy! At the time of my visit they didn’t sell extra toppings like hot peppers, and avocado slices, etc. If they did this would knock their food off the chart! The restaurant is small and my server was nice.I feel they’re a small business that has the potential to really expand into a huge business!Parking: Limited parking spaces.“

“Excellent service and food! We stopped here for lunch and both had enchiladas, which were delicious. The salsa was flavorful and spicy and chips were also very good. We even got some to go. Our server was great. We definitely recommend Casa Lupita’s.“

“Legit one of the best tortas I had in a while, they have specials during the week so I was here on a Wednesday and got the Torta and drink for under $7bucks good deal friendly staff and my order was done fast. Small family own join so a must visit in you in town“

“Genuine goats of mexican food in northwest indiana. I come here almost every day after work with my friends and they're hospitable every time. Waiters and front people are super super nice. Food is incredibly good and cheap for what it is. I will always leave here full. They also made horchata my favorite drink.“

“First time here, and I will definitely be going back!! Best breakfast meal I've had since I left Texas!! I ordered Mexican coke, and chilaquiles verdes and it was served with rice and beans, crema y queso blanco! Scrumptiously delicious ?! My friend ordered the Chicken Torta and limon Jarritos, he said it hit the spot! The red salsa has the perfect kick if you like spice and the green is good if you don't. Can't wait to try other menu items!“

“I had a Cheesy order of Birrira and Chicken tacos and Flako fries. Food is delicious and flavorful. Very friendly service. Unfortunately at the moment, there is some road work in front of the business that may make parking difficult. But that shouldn't stop you from trying it!“

“My friends and I love this taco place! The food is absolutely amazing, everything from the tacos to the desserts! It’s a plus that the owner and cook is always pleasant and in good spirits! I pray that nothing but good comes to your business, so many are missing out!“

“I've only had the Chilaquiles verdes, Cecina, and coffee, but they are exceptionally good. I would say the Chilaquiles verdes are in the top 5 of all of Chicago. Their beans are really good. Rice is pretty good, too. Great service, very clean restrooms. They take credit cards now. My grandson has the crispy potato tacos here and loves them. The kids' chicken tenders are an enormous serving size.Kid-friendliness: They are really kind and patient with the little ones and have a kid friendly menu.Parking: Lots of free parking.“

“Great tasting food everything I tried was delicious will be there again, if you are into seafood this is the place shrimp caldo awsome, the service very attentive price point very fair, I was impressed with how clean it is, I am a new fan of this hidden jewl i. “

“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“

“I usually don't leave any type of reviews unless I am personally moved by the establishments. But this little restaurant just personifies the current aged and melancholy sense of the American Dream. People work very hard in order to flourish here in the states. And often times are given the short end of the stick all while still pushing on and doing their very best with what they have.Long story short. We ordered online through a third party and the restaurant had no capability of retrieving the order because they no longer did business with them. They struggled to get anyone in contact who could help so they decided to do the honorable thing and took it upon themselves to cater to our personnel at my workplace to make sure we got what we had paid for even if that meant it came with a potential loss. The employees are kind, thoughtful, and evidently very hard working. Always bustling through, doing whatever they could to help the kitchen. The kitchen staff worked as the heart of this place to fly out orders as soon as possible. You can TELL these hardworking people have a passion in what they do. That it matters to them. I truly hope that they are able to get this issue resolved because otherwise they were a pleasure to do business with. The food was also very and I mean VERY delicious. Give it a try, you will be in good and very capable hands.“

“As far as Mexican food goes, this place is it. My family gets together here for EVERYTHING... birthdays, baptisms, going away, etc, etc, etc. We take up the back/side room every single time with no complaints from them ever, no matter how loud we get!The food is very good, comes out quickly after ordering, and servers are very attentive. Also, when celebrating a birthday, it doesn't hurt that they have their own panaderia right next door if you're in a jam. And then in the restaurant, they play Las Mañanitas if you're celebrating a birthday there. It's laid back. It's chill. Just no alcohol.“

“Small place but we really enjoyed being able to sit in front of the kitchen. More of an option in Chicago so big thumbs up there. Steak tacos we're on point. Not dried. Hints of lime and definitely juicy but......... the chorizo tacos stood out over all. Bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. My wife stated they made her feel like she was back in Mexico. Both tacos were a stand-out at this restaurant. Bottle sauce seemed roasted and gave a nice back to all the tacos we ordered. Highly recommend the Chorizo or Carne Asada for any dish you chose from this dive but dime in Hammond. Al Pastor, and Tripe are solid choices as well. The pork was tender and the tripe was cooked on the plancha until it had the perfect crisp.After posting this saw more reviews aside from my wifes in person but stating "reminds me of Mexico"“

“Hands down this is the best place for authentic Mexican food! Would not go anywhere else! The don't hold back on delicious ingredients! They stuff your plate enormous generous servings and delicious! The people are kind service is awesome, food is awesome! Place is spotless and definitely reasonable prices! This is a must go to place!“

“Everything we got from here was absolutely delicious. Jalapeno and cream cheese bread was amazing! The flan , churros, and some other goodies were just so good. Highly recommend stopping in for some bites and drinks served there as well by Cielito Lindo Cafe.“

“Looked up reviews for a local place to get Tamales and here we go!! Little corner store with full selections and choices of authentic Mexican products and Freshly made Tamales!! Pork,Chicken,Beans, Nopales Com Queso and more varieties of other stuff!! Freshly made Mexican rice, salsa,guacamole....Yesssssssss!! Quality Fresh Meat's and Fish too....both ready made to cook seasoned types and regular cuts too!! Super deals and Niceeeeeeeee!! Tamales made by hand like Grandma Abuelita and more!!“

“Ordered tacos for breakfast. They were made fresh and still hot when I got home. Steak tacos had a good amount of meat and good flavor but I loved the chicken tacos which I never really do at taco places. Chicken was nicely seasoned and tacos had good portions of meat. Service was also friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back“

“So I'm a big taco lover specially asada and today I tried their asada tacos and all I have to say BEST TACOS IN HAMMOND..yes I have tried them all so with certainty I can highly recommend street shack your go to for asada tacos and that salsa literally FIRE so delicious...I'll be back soon for more.“

“Been coming here for over 15 years! If you're in the area, I recommend making a stop here. Menudo is good and there's not too many places where it's good; especially in nwi. The girls are quick and focused waiting their tables; it can get really busy!“

“I have not been here in 5 yrs no longer in Illinois..small neighborhood store with the beat tamels & carnitas ever and I've had a lot of carnitas..they only have them on Saturday & Sunday but worth the wait..the meat & masa ratio is perfect..the carnitas definitely the bestMessage to the cook..Keep up the good work..I will be back...OH yes like everything else the price has gone up to 8.99 a lb...but my craving was satisfied after 5 years it was worth it??“

“Consistently good food. One of the best queso fundido around. Give it a try with poblano. Good price points. Steak dishes are always good from a burrito to carne asada. Cantador is great if spicy is your thing. Not really a bad dish on the menu. Good selection of tequila and flavors of margaritas. It does get busy at peak times, but worth the wait. A community staple for years.“

“The place isn't fancy - has a "hole in the wall" vibe with only two tables, but the food was fantastic. Their steak was cut super thin which kept it moist and crunchy. I had the taco meal with a steak/chorizo taco, pastor, and a beef tongue and they were all flavorful, perfectly cooked, and delicious. My friend had the chiles relenos and he also commended this dish. The salsa verde was some of the best I've had, and I've traveled in Mexico a fair bit. If you're in the area and want a delicious and affordable meal, this is worth a stop. And the folks there were super nice!“

“The food is always delicious. The people that work there are so sweet and friendly. Right now, the parking is challenging because of the road work surrounding it. Also, it's best to make sure your order is correct. Have them say it back to you because I've had my order wrong a couple of times but they nicely corrected it for me. I do feel we should support them. Their food is delicious.“

“We went on a taco tryout trip and ordered steak and veggie tacos from five different places in the Chicago Heights area. La Fonditas was picked #1 by all 4 people in my group, one of which was a vegetarian. Best taco I have had in YEARS! So good we went back later that night and tried other items in the menu. All of which were just as good. This will definitely be our go to place fir Mexican food.“

“I tried Taco Vida for the first time tonight. I thought that I would start out with the basics. I had two beef tacos. They were delicious. The place was clean. Not a long wait. The girl who served me was friendly. I can’t wait to try some of their other food.“

“So the food here is well seasoned and everything you'd want but the service is very slow. I can't blame the staff because you can tell they're working hard. I would highly recommend ordering ahead of time so you don't wait. The horchata and gorditas are delicious!“

“First time visiting place. Visitor from Indiana looking for a place with good nachos. Well, I'll have to say I found it. The serving of nachos with meat was great. Piled high. No skimping on anything.Very short wait. Clean and friendly place.“

“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“

“Great little place, some seating. Authentic Mexican food to grab and go. Whether you choose pastor, chicken or steak you can't go wrong!. Was recommended to try it and glad I did. Definitely will be trying more from the menu and back again soon.“

“You must check out this small Mex place. We had the Flautas dinner (which was three extra long Flautas) and opted for beans only. We love beans and always on the hunt for good ones. Also, we tried the pork tamale (very good and the masa was tasty) plus a carne asada tostada and it was loaded. The owner was wonderful and was attentive and kind. They offer a nice range of menu options that I need to come back for. Next I will be back on the weekend for the Pozole.“

“I haven’t even touched the food yet but I just received amazing costumer service from the girl who answered the phone to the guy in the drive thru window they were absolutely awesome I am willing to come again just based on that 3/5/24 8:45“

“All I can say they are so delicious…… The nachos are large portions comes in a medium size pizza box enough for 2 people to share……..My favorite is the chicken nachos which is loaded with melted cheese………I finally tried the pork and when I say it’s so tender no fat let’s just say I have 2 favorites now…….If you're looking for some good food come here“

“OMG, my brother and I got the steak fajita's, they were absolutely delicious. Like heaven in your mouth. But they have many more entrees, which if I had a bigger stomach, I would have ordered more but they give you free chips and a warm salsa, excellent and they refilled it twice for nothing. The waitress was so friendly withe the warmest smile, very kind. I love the experience and I plan on going back many more times“

“This is my second day in a row and let me tell you! The ice cream and treats are great!! I will always support family businesses because I too work at one!! Will be back I stay only few blocks away!! Great job and I don’t mind the wait!! Also y’all please tip if you can!! ❤️I always try to leave a few dollars! Great service“

“The food is always so good. The service was great, reasonably priced. And the kids love going so that's a plus.Parking: The parking lot is shared with other businesses. But it's not usually overly crowded.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids section on the menu that includes a variety of items such as tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, chicken strips and fries or rice and beans.“

“I have lived here in the heights for many years and this is the first time I have eaten here and let me tell you, this restaurant is one of the best Mexican restaurant ever..The waitress I had was named Julie, she pleasant and courteous. My order came very quickly and the food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back here for sure on the weekend to try the homemade tortillas. I give million star rating.“
