Mexican Restaurants near Morton Grove

“Warm greeting, great service & a delicious meal. Francisco was terrific!“

“Had some brews at our favorite spot, Sketchbook Brewery in Skokie, and decided to order some tacos from here through Uber Eats. Noticed a few BOGO deals for Elotes as well as their Chicken Tinga. Ordered those as well as a few Steak Tacos (white onion and cilantro) and some tasty salsas (red and green). Steak was not super salty like most spots. Chicken Tinga was some of the juiciest I have had yet not super oily or drippy. Elotes were good and a bit different with what seemed like black pepper as a nice kick. Did not realize this place was a food truck/stand at a park. May check out the actual spot some time.“

“I ordered delivery and the ingredients were perfect. Food was perfect, taste was perfect, service was perfect, could use some more chicken but other than that everything was amazing. Chicken was tender and freshly cooked, bowl was decent size. Just the perfect bowl. Loved it . This chipotle has become my favorite place as of now.“

“This restaurant is the best! Service is excellent, friendly staff, best Mexican food ever. Different things on menu than usual fare. Place very clean. Soups, homemade drinks, and cakes are out of this world. You will not be disappointed! You gotta come here.“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“This restaurant is truly exceptional. The food was unique and delicious and authentic. And the service was excellent. Our server told us a story of his childhood, and the owner stopped by our table and chatted with us about the food and our experience. We had the ceviche, guacamole, Brussel sprouts, potatoes, pork, and chicken flautus. Everything was amazing but the potatoes and the pork in a poblano pepper were particularly special. The menu changes often and they only serve the pork on a year — it requires 32 ingredients.“

“Very nice family run spot!
The birria tacos were around $18 and they were very good. My only complaint is that the meat itself could have had more flavor, I think it was not properly salted. But it was cheesy, meaty, and crunchy. They gave me a ton of consume, too much. That didn’t have as much flavor as I would have wanted either, and salt would have helped. But you could just add salt and everything would be 2x as good.
The rice and beans were pretty good.
Also, the salsas that they have are unfortunately not to my taste. They are very spicy, and I love a spicy salsa, but they lack balance and are very one note. They are spicy without any depth or acidity. You may like this kind of salsa.
But the family was very nice and the food was all very good depending on your tastes. Very high quality and I will be coming back again.“

“I highly recommend Manchamanteles Restaurant! My dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I will definitely be returning when in town!“

“The food, drinks, service and recommendations were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, and everything from the Oaxacan tlayuda to the Cornish hen with mole and the margaritas made with mezcal from the owners’ hometown in Oaxaca made for a great meal.“

“Don't let the fact that its in a gas station fool you! Best Chilaquiles east of the Chicago River!“

“Food is fantastic .. the steak torta is soooo good Definitely a place to visit when you are in Chicago. I will be back“

“The flavors were great in general. However, the salsa was essentially tomato sauce and a big disappointment. The guacamole needed some garlic or green onion or salt. The only other problem was the salad had very little (if any) dressing. The tacos and the special quesadillas were great. Service was good. Overall, good enough that we will be back.“

“Katie was our server and omg she was amazing. Half of our group was a lil buzzed from the cubs game and she handled it like a pro!!! Food was amazing but the service was better!! We will come back because of her!! Thank u Katie!!“

“The food and drinks were good, the service was attentive and friendly but let the buyer beware! The waitstaff asked: "Celebrating a birthday?" Let us get you some shots! This happened twice however, all the shots ended up on our bill and it was $56 for four shots! Twice!“

“La comida está deliciosaaaaa😍 quedé impresionada con los jugosos tacos y sobre todo la Quesabirria😍🤤“

“I’ve written several reviews about this restaurant because I just can’t say enough. Best Mexican food, excellent service. Cute, intimate setting you must try for yourself. BYOB. I’ve gone on record to say that I had the best steak I have ever had, with their skirt steak in their Tampiquena dish.“

“Very good food. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great food/drinks Great service Great prices We will be back.“

“I stopped by with my toddler and was immediately greeted by staff. Ordered the breakfast burrito and a taco and rice for my daughter and the food was delicious. The rice was flavorful, the tortilla was fresh and the best part was the agua de Mango. Will definitely have to stop in again and try other items on the menu.“

“The food is always delicious and the service is always excellent.“

“just FANTASTIC ... Perfectly seasoned ... super moist Masa ... don't miss this incredible meal ... call ahead and they will hook you up ! !“

“Try as many tacos as you can! The fish tacos are a much but the birria tacos blew me away!“

“Best Carne Asada in the Midwest!because it’s al carbon! My family has been coming here since before I was born 🫶🏼“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.“

“Had a barbacoa burrito with lime rice and ranchero beans. (Maybe the beans were called something else, can't remember.) Anyway, it was awesome. Very fresh ingredients, meat was cooked and seasoned very well. All three sauces are great; probably liked the plain Verde the best. I ate too fast and didn't take a picture. I'll be back“

“The perfect place to fill your stomach. Me and my man got a burrito and tostadas. SOOOO good. I love the vibe and it’s a small business you MUST support.

im never going to another Mexican restaurant again. Take all my money!

Also the cashier lady was disgustingly beautiful and sweet😍“

“The vibes of this place was a real throwback! And the taco combo- YUM! Comes with a side of guac, chips, rice, beans, and chicharron! My favorite is the chicken tinga and al pastor 🔥 Shoutout to Luz that took our order, she is incredibly sweet!“

“Ambiance was fun, yet warm and authentic. Service was friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. We’ve been looking for an alternative to our regular Mexican restaurant. We will return.“

“Famous Fresh Mexican Food is a gem 🌮✨ — the kind of place that reminds you how good simple and fresh can be.

Every bite tastes clean and homemade — flavorful without being greasy, and you can tell they actually care about the ingredients. The vibe matches the food: super friendly, family-run energy that makes you feel like a regular after one visit.

Uniquely fresh, consistently delicious, and just the right mix of casual and special. An easy favorite for anyone craving real Mexican flavor done right.“

“Delicious food, beautiful restaurant and very nice and friendly staff. I will definitely be back soon.“

“Great food and amazing drinks!“

“An absolute neighborhood gem! The food was fresh and delicious. From the minute my husband and I walked in we felt super welcomed. The owner, Dr. Lulu is so kind, funny, and welcoming. We live in the neighborhood and decided to give it a try. Great pozole, great nachos, fantastic lengua, asada cut for tacos is perfecta and tasty, and the fish tacos are actual fish—sooo good! We enjoyed the hospitality and we will definitely be returning! Try the café de casa! Delicious! It was also very nice to see how many regulars she has. You could tell everyone enjoyed Dr. Lulu’s bright personality .“

“Oooooorale’! We found another hidden gem! (Well not really hidden, lol) este restaurante está riquísimo! For all of you non-Spanish speakers, this place is delicious! It looks small from the outside, but it’s enormous in flavor! It’s a very cute and nicely decorated place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. But the food… it rocks! We ordered the Orden de Quesobirria and a Carne en su Jugo and a Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus water) and a Horchata (rice water). The Carne stew was delicious! So many levels of flavors. The birria was fantastic! Levels and levels of flavor. Will definitely be back for the Menudo this weekend. See you all here!“

“The Mexican/Indian fusion concept is worth trying a least once in your life. Two very incredible cuisines and surprisingly work very well together.
The portion size runs a bit small so consider doubling up certain platers especially if you are a group over 3 or 4. The prices can run a little high but as I said early it’s worth experiencing at least once“

“I visited this place on yesterday randomly looking for breakfast spots. As soon as we entered, all of the employees greeted us with a smile, and a hello the atmosphere was extremely welcoming and made us extremely excited.. We let our waitress. Maria know that it was our first time she assured us that we would be satisfied. We were indeed satisfied I highly recommend this place. Please go check them out.“

“Amazing food !!!!! Phenomenal service!!!! We definitely enjoyed everything on the menu. Will for-sure be returning!!!“

“I really like the rooftop during happy hour! I thought the margarita slushy was delicious. The food isn’t mind blowing, but it’s tasty and the space is very cute. Semi-related, I did reach out twice to try and book the space for an event but they never got back to me 🤷🏼‍♀️“

“The margaritas are so good. They are not too sweet and are made with fresh lime juice, which is a must!
The tacos, guacamole, and fajitas are delicious!
Don’t sleep on their happy hour either!
Our waitress was kind, patient, and very helpful.“

“The food is amazing and we enjoy all the time and the service is excellent.“

“Great food and great service…. The surf and turf burrito was awesome!!!!“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“I’ve lived all over, traveled throughout the U.S., and tasted a lot of tacos… And I can say that the tacos here are absolutely some of the best in the country. It’s crazy that they’re so good. Very highly recommended. The birria tacos are amazing.“

“I tried out the carne asada taco dinner. It came with a scoop of rice, a bean puree, and three tacos. The were tacos very big and delicious and I felt full just eating two tacos and the sides. I was also given a complimentary soup that was in some savory broth, it tasted like fideo. For the quality of service and the price, I think this is a good spot and I would come back again.“

“Hands-down, my favorite taco place in Chicago. The tacos are amazing and so is the service. Authentic , and great tasting! Amazing meat choices, and tasty agua frescas. Is Cash Only. If you ever want tacos and are in the portage Park area come to taco Feliz.“

“Fresh and good flavor. Not a big menu but burrito was outstanding.“

“We came here for both a private dining event and a brunch and we were blown away both times. Great flavors and a wonderful staff. The chef made an effort to speak with us on both occasions and really puts a lot of effort and thought into his dishes. A new favorite and would highly recommend to anyone considering coming.“

“Consistently excellent friendly service and fresh, delicious authentic food.“

“Great food and service. We love the patio and fire pits.“

“The food and customer service are phenomenal! I cannot wait to go back.“
