“Azul was recommended to us by a friend. We had the steak tacos and had to try their Cochinta Pibil tacos. Their steak tacos had great flavor, with a nice selection of salsas. Their Cochinta Pibil tacos are a must try! Their Cochinta recipe is over 100 yrs old and has been handed down to the owner. It definitely shows in its unique and distinctive flavor topped with a traditional pickled red onion with a touch of habanero. So good!!! They have a small menu, but it's about quality and not quantity. The drinks were great, and the service and hospitality from the owners was very good. You can tell they take pride in their dishes. We'll definitely be back again for their authentic Cochinta tacos, and look forward to trying their other menu items.“

“Wonderful murals on walls, but when it’s dark the lights were that cafeteria bright lights and not warm/inviting. Server was super nice, but refills on salsa were slow. Very accommodating with slight adjustments to meals. Cost of a bottle of Corona Light over $6 - too high and no draft beers at all. Taco chips not my favorite and the guacamole was only so-so. Overall, good but there are so many Mexican options in the area to explore as well.“

“I just find out about this restaurant 1 month ago and I am very satisfied with the service and mostly for its delicious food! Very good family ambiance! I can't believe I have been living in Romeoville since 2014 and I drive 1 or more hours to find Honduran food. Highly recommend.“

“Just moved in the neighborhood about two weeks ago we are just down the street from the restaurant in Joliet was looking for a good Hispanic restaurant and my daughter referred me to Taqueria Los Paisanos all I can say is outstanding service. The employees are wonderful. The atmosphere is beautiful. The food is to die for the only thing I wish they had was the mariachi bands on Friday and Saturday night. I would highly recommend stopping in and saying hello to the staff and ordering some food although I am Greek and love Mexican food, this Has to be by far the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. They even beat my ex-wife cooking Who was from Mexico? Unbelievable. You have to go there. lots of love to the people who made my experience worthwhile. See you again soon. You just got another customer.“

“The quality of the food is excellent! They have great meat quality.Kid-friendliness: Waiter was super attentive to our kids. He put a movie on for them. He was more than willing to get us what we needed for the kids (plastic spoon instead of fork, etc).“

“JAMES HYDRICK recently brought my fiancee back to my life, after we have been composed for 9years. We have stayed living favorably without any delinquent. I always converse about matrimony with her but she replies me with, And promise me that we will soon get married. I was shock on a faithful day when she called me and told me that she is no longer interested in the relationship, because she met another guy, and they were almost getting married. I was stunned and dizzy after hearing that from her. I was so drained and tried to get back to myself because deprived of her it was dreadful because I truly love her with the whole of my emotion. Until I was fixed up to JAMES HYDRICK whose email is (divine.spells@yahoo. com) I communicated with him and he guaranteed me that my wish will be settled unto me after 48 hours, and he told me to count on his words, and he gave me every purpose why I have not to worry any longer. So that was how James came into my marital life and fetched my girlfriend back to me after 48 hours as James hyrick guaranteed me, and now here I am affirming of his virtorious works. And he also cast money spell for me that really well-ordered out for me. So I will recommend you to contact him once you are in need of magic spell. he is sincere and real to help you out..

“I recently ordered 150 tacos for a party and they were just divine. The owner was so great to work with, very kind and helpful. Plus they deliver which made things 100 times easier! They had many protein options which was nice for a change compared to some other places that only offer chicken/beef. The tacos themselves were packed with meat- definitely was not skimpy and the tortillas held up and didn’t break apart. Everyone continuously asked where I ordered from. I will definitely be ordering again for our next event. Can’t wait to try the other meat options!“

“My wife and I visited Pepper Mill on February 1, 2024. Tye restaurant was clean and taken care of. We were immediately acknowledged after entering and seated within a couple minutes. I ordered the Turkey dinner which was recommended by friends. A couple and salad accompanied the meal and it was on special that evening. The soup I selected was cream of chicken rice. Tye flavor was good but I felt it needed to be thinned out. Salad was fresh and enjoyable. The Turkey dinner was thinly sliced from fresh Turkey breast. The meat was tasty and not dry. It was layered over stuffing that was lightly seasoned. I chose mashed potato's and steamed broccoli. The potatoes tasted like they were either from a box or a mix of boxed and fresh. The broccoli was fresh and cooked nice. The Turkey gravy was layered over the potato's and the Turkey. It was flavorful and seasoned nicely. My wife chose the Meatloaf and said it was good also. We both felt the price was reasonable and we would return. Our server was excellent and added to the experience.“

“A hidden gem amongst Joliet. I’ll start off by saying the prices are very good and the food is amazing. The atmosphere is also very friendly and the cashiers are always nice. The service might take a while when it’s very busy but for a family owned store I love coming here. I’d definitely recommend it. 5/5 “

“Friendly atmosphere and good food , fast service. we asked for gluten free food and they knew what it was! When I visit Joliet to meet with my good friend, we always stop at Vela's for lunch. Is it the good food? Yes! Is it the friendly, but professional service? Yes! Is it the kind of place where you can just relax,spend time and not feel rushed with friends or family in the warmth of an enjoyable restaurant? Absolutely! The cost of lunch, also makes it a practical choice for families and friends to enjoy. You know I love it so much, that I'm going back tomorrow.“

“This past Saturday we had family over and so we decided to order a 10lb catering tray of carnitas. Price was good at about $78 bucks for the 10lbs. Carnitas were amazing! We got mostly meat and I'm glad we didn't get a bunch of cartilage and bones like other carnitas spots do. We are on day 4 of carnitas dinners now due to lots of leftovers it's tortas ahogadas for tonight! Highly recommend their carnitas!“

“El Primo is Minutes away from Harrah's Casino and at lot less expensive. The atmosphere is traditional Mexican setting. There is a bit of a language barrier if you don't speak Spanish, but its fun to trying and figure out what to order. They have a weekday special, such as Dollar Taco nights. Its near the railroad tracks, so if you a railroad fan, its the place to go. lol. It is kid friendly. But if you go later is mostly adults.“

“The food I ate. I thought the cooker were already, ready be prepared. It is a nice tiny kitchen. Thus my first time in the place. Nobody can get the property next door. Cause it's already owned. What a place as Scott Street? Better then Unlimited Ribs in Crest Hill city, towards my choice.Vegetarian options: The onions wasn't fried. The privacy of a customer is hidden. I been to alot of places, of Hispanic and Mexican taste, of food, in grocery stores and food restaurants, around Joliet city.“

“We have been Camino Viejo many times. Best ground beef and shrimp tacos in Frankfort, hands down. We’ve had other dishes too. All really fresh, really good but I keep coming back for the tacos. Super clean, good service. Love that they have outdoor seating. When we’re short on time we do takeout from them and the food travels well/does not suffer. I highly recommend this place!“

“Someone told me to try this place and I finally stopped in with a friend. Friendly staff and very clean. The fresh and warm chips with salsa was great. The steak tacos were the best I've had in the lockport/cresthill area. Great value, portion size and very tastie. I've tried multiple taco restaurants in the area as well. The green sauces were awesome too. Found a new favorite spot for steak tacos.Try them out!!! You won't be disappointed!“

“Tortas for the win! I've been here a twice since traveling to this area for work and it's been great both times. All the staff is very friendly. I've never had a Torta before as the Mexican restaurants in Ohio don't have them! The Chorizo Torta is great and highly recommend trying it out. I'm sure all the great here, so definitely give it a shot. I'm going to try the Huevos con Chorizo so hopefully it's just as good!“

“Speedy Burrito is located in a strip mall in Tinley Park. We used to love this place, and we lived close by, so we visited a lot. But we moved 4 years ago, so this was our first visit in a long time. We weren't sure what to expect since the reviews were pretty mixed. Well, let me just say that the food was amazing! Portions are huge! We both had the mini burritos, and neither of us could finish them. They serve complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa is very good...not spicy, but very flavorful. Chips were good, nothing special, but good. They also serve two sauces, red and green. Both yummy--but the red is very spicy. I loved it; hubby said it was too spicy. Some reviewers complained about the prices here. I don't get it. A mini burrito is $7...$8 with a drink. Completely reasonable considering the size, and the very generous portion of steak and chicken. The girl who took our order was nice, but misunderstood our order. Language barrier? I ordered bean, and hubby ordered chicken. We were delivered a steak and a chicken. But she apologized and offered to remake the order. We were ok with the error, and we took what she brought. Mine was filled with moist tasty chicken, and hubby's was full of steak (which is chopped very small...almost like ground beef.). He loved it. As we left, the girl who took our order apologized again. Very nice! It is very loud here. It's a super small space with an open kitchen...so be prepared for the noise. We will definitely make the drive to come more frequently!“
“We were celebrating our 20th anniversary. Our service was done by Kaylea. Although she was very busy, she was very pleasant and helpful specially when I had to return my steak because it was under cooked to my taste. She took the steak back to the kitchen no problem and came back with a little better cooked steak with a brand new potato and veggies! The shrimps cocktail was very nice. Overall good food and good service. Perhaps the prices are a little higher but eating out these days is more then it used to be. Perfect location, right in the downtown market where is the Rideau mall, shops and restaurants.“

“I've located this restaurant on a last minute drive. Honestly, I would have not noticed, If I was not observing the area around. It literally looks like a house with beautiful bright colors which I find very attractive. The inside of the restaurant is quite small with a very home like feeling. No noticeable bugs or signs of uncleanliness. The food was well prepared, as desired. This chips are fresh and pipping hot. Before I've realized, my father and I demolished two containers of chips. I didn't really care for the hot salsa (in a bowl) they provided me. It was quite sweet, and tasted more of like BBQ sauce. However, the salsa that were on the table (light red, and green-inside of a tube bottle) was delicious. The waitress were warm, friendly, attentive and kind. Overall, I will return and I am so happy I've spotted this restaurant.“

“New management and Changing daily menu, it's a friendly staff and atmosphere, I liked the original menu better but this changing menu is more cost efficient I got the Caldo Maricos (Shrimp and Fish) soup. They are definitely worth a try, just a few things they need to work on. They will “

“Absolutely love this place. It's one thing to go somewhere and you're order to always be correct but ordering take out always seems like a gamble. Never had a problem. Everything is always correct, hot, and delicious. Definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone that wants good Mexican food. Service is always amazing and they are so friendly. You get such a comfortable at home feel while being there. It's hard to choose a favorite dish but the enchiladas and tamales are phenomenal.“
