Mexican Restaurants near Morton Grove

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

“Read some questionable reviews about this location but ate here anyway. Probably the best experience I've had a Chipotle in awhile. Workers were nice, portion was good. This was 1st time in awhile where I asked for an extra scoop of white rice in my burrito bowl and the worker didn't look at me like I was asking for them to sacrifice their 1st born child then proceed to give me a dash of rice.“

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

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

“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.“

“I come here every time I get my nails done. Everything here is so good and always fresh. The lady that’s takes the orders is always so nice and always recommending great things she told me to try the hibiscus and it’s soooo good ! I get it every time I come !“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amanda was an angel. We got to know her and she was really sweet her and the other tall worker were very quick on filling up our empty water cups. The food so good and fresh. Food came out very quickly. Despite being busy they managed to stay on top and tasks and keep the place clean. Good experience, will be back.“

“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!“

“This is a really special neighborhood spot. There’s so much passion & authenticity, I love how they are truly a down-to-earth restaurant. It’s really quality shareable fun Mexican food - every sauce is homemade - every bite super gourmet and interesting! Wonderful neighborhood spot wonderful service.“

“Absolutely incredible! From the moment the food hit the table, everything looked fresh and packed with flavor. The burrito was stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh pico de gallo, beans, rice, and all the right toppings—every bite was delicious. The chips were warm, crispy, and paired perfectly with the creamy queso, fresh salsa, and homemade guacamole. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients.

And the margarita? Easily one of the best I’ve had! Perfectly chilled, refreshing, with just the right balance of citrus and tequila—not too sweet and incredibly smooth. It was the perfect complement to the meal.

Great food, amazing drinks, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food and an outstanding margarita, this place is definitely worth the visit. I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“The tinga chicken was delicious, maybe the best I’ve ever had. I loved the blue corn tortillas and the mezcal cocktails. The art work is very interesting and adds to the uniqueness of the place. I would recommend Zentli to anyone.“

“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.“

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere!!“

“Delicious food! The carne asada pambazo is something I will for sure be coming back for. The bread was amazing and I would’ve been happy just eating that. The service is amazing and makes you feel well taken care of and right at home. I will be coming back for sure and recommending this to others as well!“

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

“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 best food in town 😋😋😋“

“My staff of over 100 employees loved it. Statements all day was that this food can’t be from Elgin, it taste too good. I responded CTA and they said no wonder it’s so good and authentic cause it’s from Chicago!“

“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!!“

“Food was amazing and prepared with care. Meinl Coffee is a huge plus! We will return.“

“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.“

“Husband and I both housed our delivered three taco meals with rice and refried beans in about 10 minutes (chicken for me, pastor for him). Exceptionally delicious, every detail was fresh and tasty...I'm already thinking about my next order from here if that tells you anything.“

“My wife and I have been eating lunch here once a week for a few months now. It looks like a mom & pop tamale place, which it kind of is, but Danny and Johanna have fine dining experience, which shows up in the quality and presentation of the food and the friendliness of the staff. We've tried most of the menu, but we almost always get whatever the special tamale and special quesadilla are. We always feel welcome. We always feel well-fed. We always leave happy, no matter what mood we were in when we walked in the door. It's one of the best places we eat, regardless of the price point.“

“The margaritas were amazing and the food was perfection! The mole sauce was some of the best I've ever had. Their chips and guac are next level good. Shrimp ceviche appetizer was delicious and the skirt steak dinner was amazing! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!“

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

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“Excellent food! Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be pricey to some, but worth it and they do different deals on different nights so it’s worth checking them out. If this venue was in the #Pilsen area, you would def need a month or two reservations. The chef is #Michelin rated – say no more. Highly recommended. Next time in Chi-town I would def make this a stop. #exceptional #FineDiningMexican“

“Tried the lengua, birria, and chicken tacos. They come with traditional cilantro and onion, finely minced.
The chicken taco was ordered with lettuce and cheese added and my son thought it had very little flavor and added their house sauce to help, which is WARM♡. The other 2 tacos had guac added. The lengua was very fatty. The birria was AMAZEBALLS :D I added the guac and hot house sauce to it and it was perfecto♡
They are all stuffed and it is a great, quick, traditional taco for the price of about 5-7 bucks each.“

“So bomb! Love the chicken. Love the rice. Love the beans. Love the food. Just love love love. I can only speak to the grilled chicken though. They do have other menu items which I'm sure is just as tasty.“

“Simply fantastic with super friendly staff“

“On top of the food being more then exceptional, the staff, (especially the lady that helps at the register are amazing.“

“Great food and amazing drinks!“

“I recommend getting the #7 Rajas Poblanas con Pollo torta. I am no torta connoisseur, but it was like no torta I’ve had before. Whereas most tortas are tasty sandwiches, this one was more like a tasty meal. The portion sizes are ample and I left feeling stuffed after only eating 1 torta with fries.“

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

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

“Good local food spot for tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc. I went an hour after opening so they didn't have steak or birria available.

Quesadilla was hot fresh and tasted great good cheese to chicken ratio. Salsa was watery so I feel like it didn't pair well with the quesadilla, more like a hot sauce.“

“😋 muy deliciosa la comida buen servicio les doy 5 estrellas muy recomendado“

“Taco Feliz is easily one of my favorite taco spots in Chicago! The chicken tacos are delicious, packed with flavor. We always get a 3 tacos dinner and get another taco and split it. Worth the visit and the folks that work there are so kind.“

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

“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.“

“I was impressed! I travel and experience lots places and this is one of my favorites!“

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