25 Best Mexican Restaurants near Peoria Heights

“I love this place for ice cream- I do wish they had more seating inside, it’s just bulky chairs and tables and then sad to see a whole section just for gaming. Menu is huge but can be confusing, is it on the wall? Is it on the shield? Ice cream names are cute but idk what that name means flavor wise. A clearer menu with breakdowns of each ice cream would be great.“

“Me my wife and daughter went for lunch, we had mole, Birria tacos and carne asada. I have been to hundreds of mexican restaurants and none have tasted so fresh and light with so much flavor! Simply amazing food and service. The ambiance was clean and fresh. Their tamale appetizer was 9.5! What a great place to eat traditional mexican cuisine! Also that rice wowowowowoww“

“Delightful selection of food choices but menu is not overwhelming. Margaritas are some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Entrees as well as Fajitas are full of flavor. Fried ice cream is again the best around! Service is wonderful, staff very attentive and friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals today! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Omgersh....that was the best chicken burrito I have ever had! Just be careful of the juice dripping down! You'll want to eat that too. Eat it over the delicious chips and salsa! The salsa has a kick, but it's a kick that adds to the flavor! Definitely recommend. Worth the trip downtown.“

“I've been going here for a few years now and everytime I go its just as amazing as the first time! the chorizo burrito is by far my favorite thing on the menu ive had, absolutely fantastic flavor and well worth the 13$ ! I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for great food“

“The best tacos in East Peoria.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic time celebrating my girlfriend’s mother’s birthday at Blue Margheritas! The service was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make the night special. They sang a lively Mexican happy birthday, brought out sombreros for us to wear, and even took photos for us to remember the occasion. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun, and the hospitality was outstanding. Thank you for making this such a memorable celebration! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Rodney was absolutely great! We didn’t know there wasn’t dine in anymore and was under new ownership. He let us sit down anyway and treated us with such kindness and provided excellent service regardless! The food, TERRIFIC! My grandma and I got their nachos, DELICIOUS! My sister got their horseshoe burrito and said “this burrito is the best burrito I’ve ever had”. My grandma sister and I had determined they have the best queso in town. 10/10, highly recommend (but maybe go in knowing they have carry out only lol)“

“Pancheros in Peoria is legit my go-to spot when I’m craving a burrito. Everything tastes fresh, and their tortillas (made right in front of you) make all the difference. If you’re in the mood to switch things up, definitely grab the chicken quesadilla. Just know that if you put two different meats on the quesadilla, they have a slight up-charge for the extra meat.“

“We enjoy La Fiesta! Always good service and good food.“

“Authentic, great service. love the seafood too. All around great place with flavorful food!“

“Chips and salsa: crunchy and tasty chips with a sweet salsa that hits the back of your tongue and throat with a hint of spice.

Margarita: Mango and Strawberry flavor with a good sugar and alcohol balance.

Main dishes: My wife had the fish taco and thought it was a little sweet, but not overly sweet. She used the cilantro mayo to help add some savory/spice. I had the birria tacos, which had so much flavor and a consommé with a nice spice. I also had an Al pastor taco with some pineapple to provide a sweet taste.

Seems like they lean more towards a sweet flavor in their dishes, which isn't terrible, and I like that twist, but I also like for my food to be more on the spicy side. Highly recommend others to come and try this place out.“

“The food was excellent. The staff was kind and attentive. It is the best meal I've had in quite some time. I will be coming back whenever I'm in town.“

“Best margaritas in the Peoria area. Enjoyed many Rita’s this summer outdoors by myself or with friends. Food is great and servers are very attentive, and always smiling. Going to miss the warm weather sitting outside sipping on my favorite drink!“
