Mexican Restaurants near Norridge

“We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to The Local Tavern partner who supported Wisloka Chicago team in the UPSL interstate semi-pro league. Thanks to your generous support, our club is in the place that few years ago we could only dream about. Big applause for you 🔝🔝🔝🤝🤝🤝 🟢⚪️“

“This place is decent, the food is good, although sometimes they are hard chunks in the meat. But I think that's in a lot of restaurants that use fresh meat. Especially if you use the cheaper cuts. Which I do not like. But if you get expensive cut that means the meal is going to be more expensive. Which I do not like. Lol otherwise this place is okay the tables are a little sticky, but that's due to the customers not the employees.“

“It’s been about six months since we’ve ordered from chipotle. For the reason they kept messing up the order, what a turnaround. we ordered lunch from there today and everything was right on point. We ordered the chicken burrito bowl and the chicken burrito, chips and salsa and their new Adobo ranch sauce. If you haven’t tried that Adobo Ranch you need to, it was phenomenal. They need to bottle it up and put it on the shelves in the store. It was amazing. The location I went to the line was down to the front door. looked like they were a little shorthanded. we waited 10 extra minutes from our pickup time.
They kept apologizing for the delay.
It was definitely worth the wait!“

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

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

“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!“

“Tacos con sazón muy buenos . Y servicio excelente. Precio justo .“

“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!“

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

“We went to Zentli on a Sunday evening. The ambience was welcoming and the waitstaff friendly and helpful. We ordered vegan food which was fresh, delicious and filling. My husband thought the Zentli Salad was excellent. We both had tacos (Nopales, zetas and verduras). We shared the vegan dessert, plantains with a vegan caramel cream sauce, which was quite tasty. We will return , perhaps for a weekend brunch.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Had a private party here to celebrate my 50th birthday 🎉 All the guests loved the atmosphere. Everyone raved about the food and drinks 🥰 Their attentive service was much appreciated. Fabulous experience!!“

“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!“

“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 best food in town 😋😋😋“

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

“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!“

“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 🤷🏼‍♀️“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Soooooo goooddd! Best asada taco I’ve had in a while!“

“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 .“

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

“Gave it 5 because it's hard to rate a place that's very good at what it is - and isn't. Jist want quick good Mexican food in a cute little shop? This is it. The best burrito I've had since all my fav local places closed up. It's a cozy nook off elston and takeaway-based, the seating area is unique without a hint of cookie-cutter design.“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“I purchased a steak burrito (haven't eaten it yet), and some guacamole/chips. They made it FRESH in my face on the spot!!!! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I chatted with a regular outside the door. But back to this GUACAMOLE....Baabbbyyy they just gained a loyal customer from the SouthEast side of Chicago!!!! (Let's see what's to this burrito...to be continued)..“

“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.“

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

“I recently ordered a 40 person catering order for my abuela’s birthday party. Prices were reasonable, communication was great, and everyone loved the food! Thank you so much for help make her birthday memorable! I’ve also eaten here and their back patio is so cute. Go check it out!“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

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

“I don't think I have seen that many torta options anywhere else (27!). They even have photos of every one lined up on the wall, which makes choosing a little easier. I kept it simple with the asada torta. We had some complimentary chips and refried beans to start. It was easily the best beans I have had in a while. The torta, which was already huge, came with rice and more refried bean. Flavorful, juicy carne asada and veggies were loaded between nicely toasted bread. I actually love how the bread was just thick enough to be enjoyed while not taking away from the meat. If I am being picky, the meat was a touch undersalted for my taste but there was a salt shaker on every table so it was an easy fix. Both salsas were great.“
