Mexican Restaurants near Machesney Park

“Just enjoyed some wonderful meals, despite being very busy. Had chicken fajitas, chicken mole with margaritas. All very tasty, excellent service & glad we came.“

“Other than the potato oles having way to much salt on them and the burrito being very spicy, more than needed, we LOVE Taco John's.
The bacon ranch chicken wrap is to die for at Taco John's! No one makes one that can compare. I've had them at every fast food, practically and McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's don't come close!
Plus, the Apple Grandes are unlike AMAZING!
My hubby and his family have been going to Taco John's ( mostly the one in Beloit) since the early 70's. And, they'd always get multiple Apple Grandes each because they are soooooo 😋 yummy!“

“Food was fantastic. I had 3 steak tacos and due to dietary restrictions I couldn't really load them up with ingredients but they were still overflowing. My brother had a burrito and having no dietary restrictions he loaded it up. They actually had to use 2 tortillas to hold everything. It almost looked like a football and provided my brother with 2 meals. I feel like we got our money's worth and then some.“

“Pro tip: say please and thank you to the drive thru employees. Your chances of getting your food made perfectly are high.

I work drive thru myself, and I come here because I always receive quality and the service is great. I appreciate that as someone who does drive thru every day also.

Please shout out your crew for being fantastic!!“

“Our server, Jake, is down to earth, personable, and goes above and beyond the call of duty. We visit Chicago on a regular basis since moving to IL, and Jake is by far the best server we’ve met In the area.
Food is great, drinks are generous, and the fried ice cream is just the ticket after a mission burrito. Will definitely be back. Give Jake a raise!“

“Was great our first time there. Celebrated my son’s 21st birthday tonight. Food and staff were amazing. They made my sons night. Will be cackling often and recommend going to anyone.“

“I kept seeing posts of the food and I just had to try it! I am typically very picky about my authentic Mexican food. Me and my boyfriend were extremely pleased from the portions, people and flavor 10/10!! We will definitely be back! We had the delight of trying the tacos, quesadillas, and elote all 🔥🔥🔥 not to mention, the strawberry dragon fruit drink!!🤤😋 this is a MUST try and I can't wait for my next visit 😊.“

“Great food. Great service. Good price.“

“Service is so great. The man who took our order was extremely welcoming. Food all tasted well. The ambience, especially in afternoons, is wonderful, it’s a bright airy space with lots of natural sunlight. Broad selection of alcoholic drinks including spiked hot chocolate/eggnog for this time of the year. Would probably be a good place to catch up with friends because it’s fast-casual, cozy, lots of table space, and there’s no rush to turn tables“

“Las micheladas estan muy buenas y el servicio de alma exelente 👌“

“I loved going here for lunch! You order through a kiosk, which I think makes it a little hard to order the food you like. The great food makes up for this, though! I also like how you can get extras of something, like cheese or sour cream. The sauces are good, too, and they also add some extra flavor. I would definitely 10/10 come here again.“

“indoor dining. one way parking lot and restaurant. love it.“

“I wanna start by saying the food and employees haven't been an issue once for me but the app is another story. Every time I try to click contact us on the app or the web It allows me to fill everything out but won't let me.submut it. So now it's being left as a review for everyone to see instead of just the company. I will be deleting the app once I have my money refunded to my account AGAIN. I've ordered / tried to order food on your app I wanna say at least 12-13 times this month, out of those 12-13 times I got charged for my order but the app says error and doesn't send over the order at least 8 or 9 times. But the worse part is not only do I get charged for the food and have to wait for a refund I then can't even get the food I was trying to order / the price because it's online exclusive items / pricing. I have to buy my food again and end up losing my rewards points on top of paying more for the food. Just complete garbage of an app.But like I said I'll be deleting it after I get my money refunded again and just stick to the other fast food chains that I haven't had an issue with.“

“Great people, great service, food was hot, fresh, and my special requests were done exactly as I asked for them.

I travel by vehicle a lot. And when I need a meal from fast food, I almost always seek out a Taco Bell. This is by far the best one I have had the pleasure of dining at

Seriously.“
