“Fantastic! I tried the empanadas, quesadillas, tacos al pastor and quesabirria. Each dish was great and the plating was elegant. The ingredients are fresh and the atmosphere was very nice. I actually think it can compete with anything in the city.“

“Well, I have been to several Mexican restaurants and it was the first time I had such a good quesadilla. I asked the cook and he told me that they make the dough. I recommend coming. If you want something, the most traditional thing I have seen is the tortilla, they make it instantly. Come, they won't leave. I'm sorry, try the quesadilla, what is what I ordered?“

“I stopped by to try out the pozole. I was prepared to be disappointed as I have been with most restaurant pozole. The bar is pretty high as I have a friend that makes it best homemade. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. The broth was not rushed which resulted in such rich flavors. Every spoonful was filled with meat and hominy as well thanks to the generous servings in the soup. The taste reflects the patience and love that it was made with. The price point was pretty amazing as well. I will undoubtedly come back for more.“

“We tried La Cocina de Mama and we will definitely return. The food was exceptional- so fresh, plentiful, and delicious! The service was very pleasant and attentive. We weren't seated right away, but didn't realize to step further in, so not to be confused with the take-out customers. Maybe a sign would be helpful.“

“This was my Second time visiting this restaurant, and I brought my guy in to try their food. Ms. Darcy waited on us, and she was warm, and inviting as we walked in. We didn’t even have to get up when our food was ready, Ms. Darcy brought it to us!! He had a catfish dinner, and he thoroughly enjoyed it! I had the chicken wing dinner and it was a hit as well!! We tried the jerk egg rolls as well once we got home and they were good…not spicy enough for my taste though. The atmosphere here was a bit “smoky” I’m sure from the grills but the smoke consumed the dining room atmosphere. Overall, we were pleased with the food and may come back to pick up take out!“

“At Jimmy's they appreciate their customers you are greeted with an appropriate good day ma'am or sir how may I help you they have music playing so the atmosphere is very nice and they have very good food give them a try I give them five stars and two thumbs “

“Visiting my son and he suggested this “place for tacos”. Well it was way beyond tacos. This is a jewel of a place literally hidden in south suburban Chicago. The chef is adventurous and he goes way beyond traditional Mexican fare. We had an amazing mussels in chipotle sauce, that you will want extra bread for dipping. My son had a massive salmon burrito. He said the salmon was cooked to perfection. The chefs special was a four cheese ravioli with crawfish and a delicious sauce. Again, not your typical Mexican dish but terrific.The place was sadly deserted on a Tuesday night. I hope people check it out as it deserves love.“

“The food and Atmosphere is great!!! However the service is terrible your guaranteed to wait 20mins just to get service and this is early in the day when it’s not busy and this has happen on more than one occasion I’m writing this review in hopes the service change I love supporting black owned businesses but we need to do better!“

“Definitely try the steak pastor and barbacoa. cooks put in the work and the food comes out delicious. Servers are very helpful and will answer any questions about the menu in a friendly way. My favorite plate the lucky fajitas with the shrimp steak and chicken comes out sizzling and very flavorful! Number 1 spot in my list!“

“Never a bad visit ~ hubby and I eat there at least 2-3x a month lunch or dinner. Staff is friendly and attentive to the customers. Food is delicious ? portion size is good. Very nice neighborhood diner for us. Prices are reasonable. Easy access parking.Thank you !“

The servers are friendly and food comes out quickly. Menu includes a variety of popular Mexican foodKid-friendliness: Very family friendly with selections for all ages“

“First time visiting and I ordered Al Pastor tacos, Chorizo sope and a quesadilla for the kid. Kid like it and mom approves ??Authentic Mexican food flavors and some of the BEST Al pastor I have ever eaten. Service was very nice when I ordered, restaurant looks and smells clean. What a Gem!“

“One of the best in Chicago heights! Me and my husband have lived in the area for 5 years and have pretty much tried every Mexican food spot- this is definitely one of the best. Great customer service and the food came out very hot and tasty“

“My first time there - just turned into the small lot on a sudden urge for a taco. It's clean but not glamorous and with very limited seating inside and out; but I will DEFINITELY be returning. I had the best ground-beef taco I've ever had. The service was courteous and the other food looked delicious! Authentic look and flavor. The sauce was super spicy so beware.“

“This is my go to spot. Some weeks I've been here multiple times. Everything I have tried has been good but my favorites are the shrimp quesataco, taco sombrero, taco Mexicano, quesabirria tacos (love their consome), and enchiladas. Nothing I've had here has been bad. Service is fast and good too.“

“This taco truck did not miss! We both ordered tacos 2 different types and the flavor was there for both. I was delighted by the filling for the veggie tacos: beans, rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream, cheese and avocado. So delicious I really appreciated the freshness of the veggies. My co worker had steak tacos and a chicken quesadilla. I’ve never seen a more meat filled quesadilla. He said it had excellent flavor. We both are visitors at Ford and typically don’t have time to eat. Seeing the taco truck and learning of its popularity we were so happy to try it. This truck is well worth it, what you get for the price is flavor and value.“

“HOLY COW, this is a hidden treasure of a food spot in Oak Lawn! The atmosphere of the store is amazing and cozy. Great menu selection and the food is out of this world! I ordered the Chicken Burrito Suizo and a mango Fresca and everything is made fresh and truly made with love and passion!! The rice and beans were some of the best I’ve ever had too! Great job and will be back over and over again!!“

“Easy quick and delicious. It's something about a place that has perfected their dish and this birria is perfect. I'm a fan of a restaurant that smells hit you before walking in the door. We were greeted with delicious meat seasoning and cilantro. The team behind the counter were friendly and kind with my limited hearing and accent understanding...lol. I ordered 4 quesabirria tacos and a beef cheek taco?. Everything was plentiful and delicious. We were stuffed after the tacos and can't wait to go back. The meat was very tender and pulled directly from the bone when ordering.“

“I don't even know where to begin to express how incredible of an impression this restaurant has left me. The kindness and quality of it all definitely has me wanting to come back.The steak torta was juicy and filling with the right touch of ingredients. The rice was really good along with the beans!The chicken torta was tender and juicy as well with such a fluff of bread to the touch.The Birria tacos were the juiciest and cheesiest I've had from anywhere along with their motor oil broth (just joking, I just call them all that as it was still super delicious as well)And for dessert, the cheesecake was so smooth to the taste while the churros were very crunchy and Delicious, and even came with 3 different dips to try with! That was an awesome experience.Everything was just really well done and delicious! Along with the presentation was just great! Thank you for this delicious experience! Will definitely be coming back.“

“On November 17, 2023 I stopped at this Mexican restaurant and gave them a try with little to know chance right before my hair appointment and when I tell you one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to in a very long time the food was freshly prepared the restaurant was clean and the customer service was A1 any time I’m in Chicago on the southwest side this would be a restaurant I would have to go to so for anyone reading this go here“

“So we've had Sal's a handful of times already and it's great! we usually get pizza and wings not a complaint from anyone in the family! I'm usually really picky with sauce and I like this alot. we also ordered tacos from here they're good but small is the only thing negative to say. We'll definitely be back again and again!“

“So mad I forgot to take pics because I was excited to see my friend and catch up. But the food was ok. The service was great. They were nice talkative and genuinely enjoyed the conversation with them. Again, I hate that I forgot pics because the decorations were so festive and authentic. It was colorful and vibrant. It was cold outside but the decor made you feel like you were on an island ? vacation. So cute ?? ?The food hmmmm...I had the 3 taco ? special/ a drink. I got shrimp tacos with cheese and sour cream. Very nice looking but too salty. I was like my goodness ? couldn't finish them because of this. But the French fries were good. My friend liked her steak tacos. 6/10Parking: There's free street parking in front of the restaurant“

“It is difficult to taste a dish with a Mexican flavor here in Chicago, it is difficult because most restaurants lose the seasoning oerooo wow I was surprised at this restaurant. From the moment you enter you can smell beautiful Mexico.now the service is incredible, super attentive and friendly, in my case I ordered some shrimp in the eye. And they served it to me very quickly, in about 5 minutes, the other dish, sautéed shrimp, took about 15 minutes.The fish ceviche was super delicious.The garlic shrimp is very very delicious, the dish is very delicious, with the French fries, the rice is very very deliciousIn conclusion, if you want to feel like you're in Mexico, come eat here, you won't regret it.The cost is good, because they serve you michooo in each dish“

“Awesome Caldo de Pollo, just what I had had in mind tonight! It was loaded with veggies and chicken that I did not mind less of the broth! It was fabulous! I wish I could have enjoyed one of their drinks cause I know how good they are!??☺️“

“First let me say when arriving, you can smell the food from outside! Walking through the door you meet with plenty of aromas, a relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. The wait time was reasonable price was too. The food overall 8.5 out of ten. I had the salmon dinner and I wish they had grilled it but it was still great! Can’t forget the bev, I had the Jamaican juice and it was a hit. 8.5 out of ten must try again“

Best margaritas hands down!! No store bought mix!! Only the fresh stuff!“

“One day when we were so busy in the afternoon and we were hungry, we remembered a place where they sell roast chickens and roast beef (they sell roast beef by the pound) we ordered chicken and roast beef to take away.Once at home when we started eating, this food was delicious, tasty and juicy.The Pure Tasty.“

“I've only had the Chilaquiles verdes, Cecina, and coffee, but they are exceptionally good. I would say the Chilaquiles verdes are in the top 5 of all of Chicago. Their beans are really good. Rice is pretty good, too. Great service, very clean restrooms. They take credit cards now. My grandson has the crispy potato tacos here and loves them. The kids' chicken tenders are an enormous serving size.Kid-friendliness: They are really kind and patient with the little ones and have a kid friendly menu.Parking: Lots of free parking.“

“La Cocina Jaliscience is a great place to visit for a casual bite to eat. It's very informal but that's not a detractor. I always love their tacos and cheese quesadillas, and the burritos are very good as well. My wife tried the flautas this time and said they were good as well. My only comment is that I don't prefer their method for serving salsa with the delicious chips because it comes in what I can best describe as breakfast restaurant tabletop syrup pourers and I've always found it to be messy and also strange and invariably amongst whoever accompanies me to dine-in here the conversation always involves a laugh/bewilderment about the condiments being served in syrup jars.“

“First tried a few years ago and loved it. I couldn't remember the name and drove by there today. I had 2 steak tacos. So damn good wanted to go back for more. Tasted very fresh, steak was perfect! Owner is very attentive, patient and nice. No sign outside. May go back this weekend.“

“Great tasting food everything I tried was delicious will be there again, if you are into seafood this is the place shrimp caldo awsome, the service very attentive price point very fair, I was impressed with how clean it is, I am a new fan of this hidden jewl i. “

“Vegetarian options: Menu is not vegetarian but if you for your plate to be modified they will make sure that it is. All of their food is authentic they make it, the owner is very friendly will say hi and welcome to everyone. Very welcoming!“

“I have been looking for a good taco place to go to and I stumbled upon this place. Let me tell you they have great tacos here. The young ladies that work here are nice and welcoming. The food is very fresh and good. Price is reasonable. I had the two taco special and it was great. If you are looking for a good taco this is the place to go to.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Maria's Tamales, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere, and it only got better from there. The star of the show, of course, was the tamales, which were nothing short of exceptional.The menu at Maria's Tamales offers a wide variety of options, but the pozole and menudo really stood out to me. The pozole was rich and flavorful, with tender pork and a perfectly seasoned broth that left me wanting more. The menudo was equally impressive, with its robust flavors and comforting warmth. Both dishes were clearly made with care and expertise, and they transported me to the heart of Mexico with every bite.What truly sets Maria's Tamales apart, however, is the authenticity of the food. You can tell that the tamales are made with traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients, resulting in a truly genuine and delicious dining experience. The staff was also incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal.If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine, I highly recommend Maria's Tamales. Whether you're craving tamales, pozole, menudo, or any other Mexican delicacy, you're sure to find something that delights your taste buds. I can't wait to return to Maria's Tamales for another memorable meal. Arriba Michoacán!!!!! I love Paulina.“

“Hey there! I just wanted to drop a quick review about my first time at this gem of a restaurant. First off, parking was a breeze - scored a spot right away in their lot, which is always a win in my book! As soon as we stepped in, we were met with a warm welcome and promptly seated. Can we talk about the salsa and chips for a sec? Whew, they were spicy, but in the best way possible - exactly how I like it! Now, let's get to the main event: the Birria Tacos with beans and rice. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The flavor was out of this world! Seriously, words can't even do it justice. It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth - so, so good!Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the mood for some fantastic food and a friendly atmosphere, this is the spot. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“Consistently good food. One of the best queso fundido around. Give it a try with poblano. Good price points. Steak dishes are always good from a burrito to carne asada. Cantador is great if spicy is your thing. Not really a bad dish on the menu. Good selection of tequila and flavors of margaritas. It does get busy at peak times, but worth the wait. A community staple for years.“

“I highly recommend the tacos, nacho fries birria tacos, cucumber flavored water and the margaritas. I’ve always had a pleasant experience here, my waitress was super sweet and helpful when I ask questions about the menu. I especially like how the manager comes around to check on the customers to ask if everything is ok. Shout out to Genesis, Vanessa and the cooks! ?“

“The service was very fast. We orders out this Tuesday. The food came out really quickly and everything was hot when we arrived home. We had birria ramen, steak tacos, fries, and tamales. The tamales were fresh and good. Nice amount of filling in the inside. Barely got any pictures because I ate very quickly ?.“

“The menu here is fantastic, 10/10 quality Mexican food paired with really incredible brews, was so excited to see a California burrito on the menu! Make sure you get the green sauce on the side. We attempted to try this place out before a Matchbox 20 show a few months ago, but didn’t make it in time and I’m so glad we tried again this weekend.“

“I tried Taco Vida for the first time tonight. I thought that I would start out with the basics. I had two beef tacos. They were delicious. The place was clean. Not a long wait. The girl who served me was friendly. I can’t wait to try some of their other food.“
