50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Northfield

“Excelent service amazing 🤩 place“

“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 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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!!!“

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

“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 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!“

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

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

“Delicious! Tried their carne asada tacos & quesadilla with the homemade corn tortilla. Would highly recommend. 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮“

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

“They’re amazing! Great food, strong drinks, reasonably priced & fabulous staff.“

“Consistently good food at a great price. 👍🏽“

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

“It's a hole in the wall Mexican sandwich place. Are you looking for a torta? They have tortas. They also have burritos, quesadillas, and tacos which are; in my opinion, also Mexican sandwiches.

Are you wondering if it's good? It's good. Is it the best sandwich you're ever going to have? Will this sandwich change your life? I wouldn't go that far but it's good, the price is right, the people are friendly, and it's fast.“

“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!“

“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!“

“AMAZING food. Spot on service.“

“Great food. Friendly owner. A lot of food for the price. Did I mention the food?? Okay, so it is a break room on the 3rd floor of the office building, but so what? That makes it even better. I loved the atmosphere! Pro tip: bring your own mug if you like Strong coffee. I'm positively wired after one cup. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Delicious food and exceptionally friendly service. A charming addition to Winnetka’s local, family dining scene.“

“Que tal ya estamos aqui en el restaurante esperandolos con sus donativos y alguna comida en cajas o en latas que usted desee dar a estas familias que necesitan. Hi! Come to Supreme Burrito today to donate and order food to fundraise for Latinos en Evanston North Shore and families in need of help this holiday season.“

“I was driving by when I saw this place. I decided to buy birria. The place is so neat and clean. People are so respectful and friendly. I recommend it to eat in or carry out

Kid-friendliness: It's a family place so you can bring all your kids

Wheelchair accessibility: You can access this place if you come on wheelchair“

“El sabor 100 % mexicano !!“

“exelente servico .... me atendieron con Mucha amabilidad. y la comida riquisima“

“Really nice hole in the wall place. Good bang for your buck. It's really hard to beat Chorizo pound for pound in flavor. They have a good variety of meats for tacos, burritos, and tortas. It doesn't look like they have any non meat options for meat substitutes. Everything is cooked fresh and served to your table if you can find an open one. Fortunately for us it wasn't really packed on a Sunday afternoon. Personally, the Chorizo tortas is the most worth it. The table sauces are pretty good, the red on tastes like chili and paprika and the green one is just tomatillo.

Vegetarian options: Ask the staff.

Dietary restrictions: Ask the staff

Parking: There's probably paid street parking around

Kid-friendliness: Good for families, pretty healthy options

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, but there is a step“

“Nice waitress and great food.“

“If you’re in the Rogers Park area and you want some good authentic tacos stop by Taqueria Hernandez. I came here off of a recommendation as to who has the most flavorful Carne Asada tacos and they didn’t disappoint. With the taco dinner get two tacos as opposed to the three other places, but it’s really good and the staff was friendly.

Parking: Semi bad parking“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“Stopped in for the first time. Friendly gal up front, decent prices, chips a bit oily but burritos and torta were yummy. Pretty fast turnaround as well. Red sauce was nice & spicy. Good place for some quick Mexican food. I'll be back.“

“The Marysville Taco Pros is always a great experience. We eat there weekly and we have never had a bad experience. It's the highlight of our week. Food is fresh, not loaded with salt, and the tortilla shells are delicious. Definitely a great addition to Marysville!“

“Súper recomendado 😋 Toda la comida está deliciosa Y sus aguas frescas excelente sabor sin tanto dulce y un sabor único y especial ♥️el mejor restaurante mexicano en estos alrededores 🤗“

“Really good food and people. Beware, though. Unlike most Mexican restaurants, only the first basket of chips and salsa is free. All the rest are $3 and they don't warn you

Vegetarian options: Taco salad w chicken was excellent.

Kid-friendliness: Very good for kids and families.“

“delicious! Friendly service!“

“I've loved the football sized burritos ever since i was a little kid. Need a closer location though somewhere in Northwest Indiana please!“

“Simply fantastic with super friendly staff“

“fantastic tacos for anyone!!! vegans, vegetarians or people who love meat but are looking for something delicious and different ❤️❤️ 5 stars!“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to!
The food was absolutely delicious – super flavorful, authentic, and the portions were huge! Everything we tried was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served hot. If you’re hungry and craving real Mexican food, this place will not disappoint. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Three words - $2 Taco Tuesday. Came by on a Tuesday and got a Al Pastor and Pollo (Chicken Tinga) taco. Man these tacos were fat. Loaded to the brim with meat and veggies, and encased in a double lined corn tortilla to ensure it stays. Not much else to say except they were bomb. Both salsas were solid, although i wish they had a bit more heat to them. The inside is like your typical mom and pop Mexican cafe, perfect for a sit down with friends to enjoy some good food. It was busy and the food came out quick too. Staff was friendly and helpful. Don’t walk, run to come try these for a great deal.“

“Alright, so I've had a craving for pozole rojo for a month or so now after not having it for years. I come in and literally get the last of the batch after 9pm.

-Tender pork
-Tender hominy
-excellent broth

It wasn't as spicy as I hoped but the fresh onions, radish, and the dried cilantro gave this an incredible punch. It didn't make me sweat without working out (shout out to the man at the counter), but my god this was one of the best things I have eaten in a long time. This soup is near perfect and the weather is going to help justify getting it a couple of times a month.“

“Never fails .. awesome place great and fast,service and the food is A-1 .....the best refried beans .. you have to check this place out !!!! ????“

“Best tacos ever!! The taco selection is authentic and a great price! Only place to him for tacos in my mind!“

“Excelente atencion y muy buena comida 💕“
