“My 3rd time there and had the Chile Relleno dinner.,the Best I ever tasted!!! The sauce they are in is so delicious and the peppers are so fresh and made perfect! The whole dinner was great! you can taste the quality of their food and crave more! The owner and staff are so nice and you will want to go back again.“

“Casa San Juan has the BEST authentic Mexican I have ever had! The pastor tacos are to die for! Margaritas are fantastic as well! Great for take out or for dine in for a cozy meal.“

“My wife and I are so glad we discovered this place. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by genuinely polite and welcoming staff. The food comes out quickly every time, and you can tell there’s consistency in the kitchen — it’s always on point.

We’ve been here at least 6–7 times so far and have tried the steak, pastor, and chicken tacos. The meat is always high quality and the tortillas are soft and fresh every single time.

And we can’t leave without getting the rice pudding for dessert — it’s become a tradition for us. Highly recommend!“

“Taco dinner was very good. Loved the horchata!! The restaurant is very nice and cozy. The only negative thing I can add is the wait time on the to go order.“

“Yesterday was my first time visiting this location, and overall I had a really good experience 😊 The food was super delicious and full of flavor, and the portions were very generous - definitely more than enough to feel satisfied 🍽️👌 I’ll absolutely be coming back again!

One small thing that could be improved is clearer signage. There wasn’t anything indicating that you can seat yourself, so I assumed I needed to order at the counter and wait for a number 🤔 Turns out I was completely wrong, and for a moment I thought I was about to get scolded 😅 The lady at the counter helped fix my order and guided me, and then I was able to sit down.

Aside from that little confusion, everything else was great, and I still really enjoyed my visit 🙌✨“

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“

“Muy rica la comida y buen trato“

“This restaurant is such a hidden gem! They offer a delicious mix of Mexican, Guatemalan, and Salvadoran food, and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. The pupusas and tacos and steak burrito were absolutely amazing authentic, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The customer service was just as impressive as the food.

We also ordered fresh juices, and they were so refreshing! The passion fruit juice was sweet and delicious, and the cucumber-pineapple juice was light, crisp, and perfect with our meal.

If you’re looking for authentic Central American and Mexican cuisine with excellent service, I highly recommend stopping by. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The food in Homer Glen is amazing! Their shrimp tacos are awesome!“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“We celebrated my Uncle’s 86th birthday here and it was so very special! Michael was an amazing server; very attentive and knew the menu up and down. I had empanadas and seafood pasta and the food was delicious. We didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor patio but the ambiance looked amazing. All around great experience thanks to Michael and the staff.“

“Good service great flavors“

“Used to come here younger years after hard night of drinking, food was great then and today after all these years later.“

“This is one of my favorite vegan Mexican restaurants. Chef Patricia is so sweet. I almost always get the Carne Asada burrito but I’ve loved everything I have tried. The nachos & tacso are so good too. The peanut butter cookies are probably the best I’ve ever had. I love the chocolate mini Bundt cake.“

“Muy buen sazón estilo Guerrero Todo está muy rico Todo hecho al instante , tortitas y comida , muy recomendable.“

“Está muy Rico!! Sé Los recomiendo al 💯%“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“Really good spot! I ordered the Machete half carne asada and half pierna with a glass Pepsi, and it definitely hit the spot. The machete is HUGE, packed with meat and cheese, and both the carne asada and pierna had great flavor. I also really liked that they have a self-serve salsa and condiment station, so you can load it up exactly how you want. Good portions, flavorful food, and definitely worth checking out if you’re craving Mexican food. I’ll be back!“

“This place was so good! My boyfriend, baby, and I came here to dine in yesterday and the food was phenomenal. We were looking for queso barria tacos on google and they showed up. The server was awesome. They didn’t have a kids menu but I asked if they can do rice and eggs for the baby and they did just that he loved his meal as well! The cook even came to talk to us for a bit which I thought was pretty cool…very personalable! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for your service 😁“

“This place is truly one of the best spots for Mexican food 🌮😋! I tried a steak burrito and some steak tacos, and the flavor of the steak was amazing 🤤. Portions were generous, and even though I got my order to go 🥡, the restaurant itself is small, cozy, and super clean ✨. I loved the cute decorations and the overall vibe 🪴🎨. Definitely a must-visit if you’re on the Southside 👍. I’ll absolutely be coming back soon!“

“Muy rico ...su Sazón es mi Casero es lo que me encanto“

“It is heartwarming to see a family working hard and earning a living. It is take out only. We had the steak burrito and it was tasty and the meat was in generous portions and it was nice and hot on a cold rainy day. The prices are the best.$9.55 for a steak burrito is unbeatable. I highly recommend this place. Honest and hardworking folk.“

“I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling. I highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.“

“This place is amazing! Had the Birria Tacos and they were the best I’ve had anywhere! I didn’t come up for air long enough to get a picture of the tacos but I didn’t snap a pic of the Churro sundae which was also amazing! Wish I lived closer I would be here often!“

“Excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa“

“The Birria Tacos Are So Good...“

“Me encanto la comida y el restaurante es muy bonito!!! 🤩“

“Let me just start by saying that this locksmith was amazing. He showed up in about 20 minutes after I called for help and fixed the lock on my car door. They were so fast, thorough, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this locksmith to anyone who needs help with their car key coping!“

“Los Friends is wonderful. The food is EXCELLENT and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. They catered our graduation party and several other events for us and every guest raved about how great the food was and how nice the presentation is. Thank you Los Friends!“

“Chilaquiles were delicious. And the horchata was bomb too. Everything was 10/10 . Also love the kids menu. Most places just offer chicken nuggets and fries. This place offered mini burrito with rice and beans with a mini horchata . Would definitely recommend to come here!“

“Deliciosa comida muy bien servicio 🦐🦐🦐“

“Very good food, friendly waiters!!!“

“We have been lucky to attend this hall on multiple occasions from a production company standpoint. The hall is not the best for sound reinforcement as you will need a separate rig pointed to where the main entrance is to ensure you will have even coverage for all patrons. However, it is a minor detail that with the right professional shouldn't be a problem. The catering was very good and the space looked very nice. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a nice event space.“

“I came here because of the great reviews, and it didn’t disappoint. The steak tacos were delicious; the meat was cut incredibly small. The chicken burrito was also great; it was well-packed and flavorful. The michelada was fabulous as well. I highly recommend this place; I wish I had known about it sooner.“

“Everything was so fresh and good. The restaurant was clean, and the service was amazing! I would recommend any day!“

“Very good chicken! Q pollo rico !“

“Excelente comida servicio al 💯 muy delicioso todo ***** Muy recomendado 💯.“
