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.“

“Food was good service was decent. However, the past several times I've ordered a quesadilla here with green or red salsa, it's always spilt. Sometimes it's when I order online and eat there and it's still spilled all over the place and all over the bag.“

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

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

“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!“

“Love this place and food is very delicious 😋 LULU is the best too . 😎❤.. Highly recommend this place oh and yeah the albondiga soup is super delicious and has a good spice to it too 😃🙌“

“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 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 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.“

“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 !“

“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“

“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.“

“Just amazing! Best ever! Highly recommend!“

“Best bean burrito in Chicagoland!“

“Birria muy buena y Ahora tienen TACOS de Machitos y es de lo mejor que eh probado 💯% , Te mantienen bien atendido todo el tiempo“

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

“They have a great combination deal with two or three tacos. I love that you get a little bit of everything and the price is unbeatable. The shrimp taco is one of the best I’ve had. Will be back for this deal. I picked up, but it was super cute inside. Will be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“the best Taco of Al Pastor I've ever tried and phenomenal service . I'll be back !“

“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.“

“Small mom and pop taco spot with great food. Place is cash only i repeat cash only so dont forget your money. We had the Ribeye tacos very delicious and tender meat was well done, they also put grilled onions and peppers which adds more flavor to the 🌮. Be aware the peppers 🌶 are a bit spicy so eating them with their salsa might be too much spice for some people. I would do either or but you feeling adventurous try it with both. Pastor tacos were very flavorful comes with onion and cilantro. Asada tacos were rich in flavor well seasoned and not dry. These are hardy tacos 🌮 average person will get full with 2-3 tacos. Tortillas are oiled nicely and cooked well they hold their shape while eating after lime and salsa have been added doesn't get soggy or break apart. Over all great spot 9/10 👌 will eat here again. It is a small place so if it gets busy seating might be an issue they have 3 tables outside and a bit of counter seating inside.“

“One of the last few places I've found that makes it feel worth it to spend money eating out. Absolutely some of the best food I've eaten (try the chicken tinga quesadilla!), reasonable and affordable prices, great service and warm atmosphere. I love the open kitchen layout, it makes me feel at-home and reminds me of cooking with my mom 🤍. You won't regret coming here.“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“We drove all the way from downtown just to get tacos from Aztlan Taqueria and it was 100% worth it. The steak tacos are some of the best we’ve ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. Both the flour and corn tortillas tasted incredibly fresh, like they were just made. The salsa was delicious and clearly homemade bright, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the tacos. And the guacamole? Absolutely perfect. No extra salt needed just fresh, balanced, and spot-on. On top of the amazing food, the staff is so nice and truly goes above and beyond. The service made the experience even better. Hands down, some of the best tacos around. We’ll gladly make the drive again! 🌮“

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

“Excelente servicio la mejor comida“

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

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

“From the moment we walked in we were welcomed by the friendly staff and even the owner/chef came out and talked to us. They really pay attention to detail. It’s a must go.“

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

“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.“

“This mexican food is incredible. I have ordered takeout a few times and recently I got catering for my birthday party. It’s so good no one even realized its vegetarian. I ordered the Xochimilco tacos.

Some of my other favorites are the al pastor tacos and the huitlacoche quesadillas.“

“Reyna's cooking is the best! I love her menudo and her mole. I'm sure everything is on the menu tastes awesome as well since it is all made from scratch!“

“Have lived in the neighborhood a while but for some reason never popped in here. BIG MISTAKE!!

Chips and salsa came right away and the salsa was one of the best ive had. And for $12.50 I got 3 tacos rice and beans. Tried the goat birria, al pastor, and chorizo and all three were extremely flavorful. Will most certainly be back!“

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

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

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“Why have I driven past this place for years and never had been. In this last week I've been twice. These people are great. Not only are they very hospitable, but the food is really good. It's a restaurant, but it has that bar vibe as it gets a little later in the evening. We had a running group event here last night and it was so much fun. We plan to go more often and coordinate some of our holiday events with them. So far, I tried the chicken tacos and had a seafood soup (Caldo Mendigo) and they were both excellent.“

“Flawless, made with love and care. Incredible: salsa, grilled vegetables and meat, fresh made tortillas. 21 dollars for a large chicken burrito, beef taco with some rice and beans, chips and a good amount of the best salsa I’ve had in my life.“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

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

“I honesty love going to this place, the margaritas and food are delicious. The manager as well as the servers are really nice and they make sure you are well taken care of. The place itself is very pretty and clean. No complaints, I've gone here multiple times and will continue to go due to their delicious food and great service!!!!“
