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.“

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

“Amazing tacos, especially the al pastor and the fresh made guacamole just topped it off! We came to this place on the first day of our stay, basing ourselves on all the great reviews, and had no reason to look for any other tacos places for the rest of our trip.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. Food was amazing - fresh, tasty and creative. We left it up to the chef to decide whatever shared dishes he recommended and they were all a hit. Eddie the owner is also a great guy. Definitely coming back.“

“Someone did an adorable job decorating the space, the food was delicious, but the service could use some fine tuning. We had chips/salsa and elotes for the table, and we all loved the salsa. The fresh chips were delicious. Everyone's got their own take, and the elotes were also good, but another slice of lime would have been a great addition to the plate. A breakfast burrito, with steak, one red and one green chilaquiles later, and we all liked our brunch.“

“Delicious food with very fresh ingredients“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I found this place unexpectedly me and my fiancé came here the other day and their food was delicious! I will be back“

“Onions and cilantro is on my top spots for tacos! How it isn’t more know is beyond me! I will say it is amazing! The food speaks for itself. Beyond Amazing! I got the three taco dinner and my friend for the fajitas! The owners even gave us a more mild salsa to try. have to say they are amazing! Loved the food and the service was great!“

“We were looking for tacos near Lincoln Park to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day and wanted authentic food. This is the best taco place I have ever tried, and the service is top tier! Definitely recommend tacos de al pastor and their sopes! You just get their pico de gallo with chips as well.“

“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!“

“We enjoyed our dinner tonight. Thank you!“

“Lu Lu’s restaurant is a GEM! She treats her customers like family and is just the sweetest! The food is always hot and delicious - my favorite is her pambazo sandwich. The flavor profile and texture combination is perfection. I can’t recommend her family-run restaurant enough. Amazing food and even better people. 🩷“

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

“Ever since our former far north side Mexican go-to restaurant had a fire and reopened without the same quality of food we used to love, my partner and I have been looking for a new delivery and eat-in joint. We love how awesome the universe of Mexican food is here in Chicago but a lot of the eateries on the far north side are just kind of meh. Nobody deserves to eat meh Mexican food in Chicago, ever. It took us a year and a half to finally find Taqueria El Charro and we’re completely blown away. I’ve lived in Chicago for 21 years and he’s lived in Chicago almost as long. I used to teach English in Pilsen. Once I had a chance to move back home to New York City and I sat in a Chicago Mexican restaurant at 18th and Ashland and cried because I didn’t want to leave Chicago Mexican food behind. So, this place has some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten here in my adopted hometown. I don’t say that lightly. You don’t kid around with Mexican food in Chicago. I cannot emphasize how quietly awesome this place is.“

“I highly recommend the custom carne asada chips (tell them elpotato12 style 😉), the custom carne asada chips were banging and so was the rest that I had. Lets support this new small business that just opened in January and is struggling. 🫶🏽“

“I had a craving for some good halal Mexican food, and my friend recommended this place! I wasn’t sure what to order, but the worker Shayaan gave me lots of options and told me what he recommended! I had a great experience, and the food was delicious! Will be making this my regular spot!“

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

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

“Run don’t walk! Mirra is absolutely the definition of an explosion of flavors! The crispy taco may have been the single greatest bite I have ever tried! The roasted beets were outstanding as well. We finished with the Taco Arabe. Such a wonderful warm way to finish our dinner. And then for dessert just get the tres leche olive oil cake and thank me later. Chef Rishi has out done himself.“

“I got super tasty horchata and a breakfast burrito (potato, egg, cheese, pico, rice, +2$ avocado) that was sooo big I could only eat half. The burrito came with delicious hollandaise that made the taste go from good to great. Wow. Loved it.

I recommend you go here if you you like eggs or brunch.“

“We walked down here and it seems the name of the restaurant has changed and the entire menu has changed as well. Due to these unexpected circumstances we went elsewhere. Still five stars though, this is just a heads up that this place seems to be called Fuego now and has a totally different menu.“

“Chipotle meets Subway, excellent! Quality food which I come to expect and with more options. I had the burrito and chips w/salsa and an unsweetened ice tea. I’ll be back with my family. The staff was personable and informative. The place was spotless. Everything I want in a restaurant.“

“Honestly, best fish tacos I have ever had. This is my second time coming and it did not disappoint. My wife enjoyed her steak and Al pastor taco combo. I had the two fish (grilled) taco combo and it tasted even better the second time. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, and even better, the service and staff were nothing but fantastic. I have always seen this place in passing and it always caught my attention, since I had it, I haven’t found any other fish tacos that I have enjoyed as much as this place. The price for the two of us, including drinks, was $45. Pricey but fare portions and we did not leave with an empty stomach. I highly highly recommend at least trying the steak and fish tacos.“

“Their quesabirria is the bomb!!!!!!!!“

“Just amazing! Best ever! Highly recommend!“

“Great customer service! Steak torta, and green chicken tamale were delicious ! The Agua de Jamaica great too! Very clean! Visit with family and friends! :)

Parking: Foster bus stops right in front!

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly!“

“Great birria! The consome adds very nicely to it. The service is great and I personally liked that big window a lot. This will be my go to spot whenever I'm around the city. Keep it up guys!“
