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.“

“We went through the drive thru and the person was very polite however I did order an item which she didn't hear. She had me pull back through the drive thru and pay for the second item. Which we then had to wait for. Which added a longer time for the food to cool. The Potato Ole's were salty. I did mention this to her and she did acknowledge it however I just wanted to let her know for the future as I didn't want to wait any longer for her to prepare another order.“

“Fantastic place to come to anytime you want to eat! I adore the entire crew, especially Athena. They're all fantastic people and I always enjoy coming to this particular location. Much love from a regular customer and a loyal Chipotle fan!“

“I hit the drive through a few times a week in the mornings for my lunch and always have a good amount of customizations on my items (im picky). They are always very kind and read back my order to make sure its correct and ive yet to have an issue with a missed customization or the wrong order, please give the morning crew some love! as someone who worked in the food industry for a long amount of time,they kill it and are always in a good mood! (Keep in mind I cant speak for everyone and im only in the drive through in the mornings when its sometimes slower flow of traffic, but each time I have gone its always good vibes and a correct order) keep doing your thing guys!!“

“Cool place. Located on the upper level of a multi-unit building, features a fully enclosed bar with indoor seating and outdoor seating. I sat at the bar, only me. Got a Monday burger special (Baker Street is closed Monday). Beer is a bit steep at $7.50 for a 16 oz. It looked like less than 16 oz with the tall and skinnier glass but I indeed confirmed with a pour of my pint-glass water into an empty. I recommend the Lucha Mexican with a slice of lime. Also fried the Lucha Lime, which was also good. Other beers are available, kind of hard to read on the tap handles as they’re handwritten in vertical print. Would have been nice to see the beers listed on the drink menu. I couldn’t find them anywhere.“

Took my order at the window without a problem and the food was stuffed. Literally the best taco bell Ive ever had. Keep up the great work. Just know it doesn’t go unnoticed, much appreciated.“

“This is the only Taco Bell I will eat at. Sick of average food and service, until Auburn street's crew(night crew especially)showed me what Taco Bell's food is supposed to taste like! Great job all! You guys keep it up. I hope they pay you well! Maybe they should let you have tips.“

“I don’t usually review restaurants - especially not fast food. This location is Rockton was absolutely great. The food came out fast, hot, and accurate. Portion sizes were great. The staff was really nice. From what I could see, the inside looked very clean. Every time I get Taco Bell, I swear I’ll never get it again. This is officially the only one I’ll come to when my kids beg me for Taco Bell. 5 ⭐“
