“Its a great place if you are looking for great tacos that is no nonsense. Place is inside the little Mexican grocery store and has three tables, doesn't look the prettiest but it is a great place. Reminds me of great taco joints in Cd. Juarez. Prices were great too. Food was made fresh because when I got my tacos and they were so hot I couldn't hold them long. Chicken tacos were excellent. Easily coming back here.“

“This place isn't very big, but the flavor of the food is! I normally post a picture of what I get. Unfortunately, it looked and smelled so good I couldn't wait. The ingredients were fresh and only took a few minutes to prepare. The cashier and the cook were both very friendly and you could tell they keep it clean here too. If you're in the area and have $5 to spare run in and grab a taco. Try something different and let me know how your experience was.“

“Delicious tacos. Will definitely return to try more menu items.“

“Stopped by on a whim and was very, very surprised. The outside is quite attractive with an outside eating area. The inside is nice and clean with plenty of seating. We ordered chips and salsa, Pollo with Mole, and the Steak Burrito Fajita. The chips are homemade (as expected) and very good. The chicken in the Pollo with Mole was super tender. The mole was rich. It came with homemade corn tortillas. The Steak Burrito is filled with fajita fillings, so steak, green and red peppers, and onions. The flour tortilla was filled and grilled giving the whole a nice smokey flavor. It was one of the very best burritos I have ever had. Look over my reviews. I have eaten a lot of burritos. They have a creamy salsa verde that is great, a very nice Roja sauce, and a hot sauce that is no joke hot. Our server was great and the whole experience was a great one. Will be back soon.“

“1st time eating here, but definitely not the last time. The food was super delicious and not expensive at all. The salsas are delicious also.“

“Burrito Beach is a flavor paradise! The burritos are generously stuffed with fresh ingredients and bold seasonings that dance together in every bite. The beachy vibe adds a fun twist to a classic meal, making it perfect for a casual lunch or dinner while passing through Chicago’s ORD airport. Don’t skip the guacamole—it’s creamy and delicious! Overall, a must-visit for burrito lovers!“

“I love this restaurant and honestly surprised it's not rated higher. On the weekends this place can get packed. Highly would recommend to anyone that loves authentic mexican food.“

“Excellent margaritas and enchiladas. The outdoor seating is great. #iraeats“

“While traveling I chose to stop and try something tasty and fast. What I discovered was a hidden gem that proved quality homemade food can be served friendly and fast. Great fresh salsas only complimented very tasty street tacos and the price was more than reasonable given the quality. Well done“

“Guacamole was good The shrimp tamale was good The service was good The churo could have been softer and fresher…… I will be back when in the area.“

“Came in and had a wonderful time and food. The food was fresh and delicious, our service was top notch. Our server was awesome, he recommended the avocado salad and the ancho chili salsa with the chorizo bowl and the man knows his stuff! We left with full stomachs and full of smiles! We will be back in the future!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh—seriously, even the water tasted super refreshing, which is a rarity!

I decided to try the marlin ceviche, and it was a game-changer. The marlin was perfectly marinated, bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. For my main dish, I ordered the huevos rancheros, and it did not disappoint! The eggs were cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich and savory sauce that tied everything together. Both dishes were so good that I found myself savoring every bite.

I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend visiting restaurant! You won’t regret it!“

“My favorite Mexican food in ALL of Chicagoland. We often drive from the north side of Chicago to eat here multiple times a week. The kids love it too!“

“Best restaurant I’ve been to in ages! I took my mom and boyfriend here today, and it was the first time for all of us. The food was incredible and the staff was so kind! We will definitely be back!!“

“Muy bueno buen servicio y todo rápido“

“Food was very good. I ended up with chilaquiles (with chicken breast) and my friend got the pupusas and dobladas. Really solid, and I appreciate the subtle differences in flavors between the Guatamalan dishes and standard Mexican fare. However, only 4/5 because ordering (in English) was difficult. I tried to get grilled skirt steak and a green chicken enchilada (as a single item, listed that way on the menu) but what was originally brought out was 3 green chicken enchiladas. I explained the issue and thought it was clear but ended up getting brought the chilaquiles. My friend got his pupusas but the dobladas was not brought and had to be ordered again. The food was delicious and I'm not a picky eater so this wasn't a huge deal, but others that need to order a specific thing, in English, may have trouble. I will be back though, and I will brush up on my Spanish.“

“Food was amazing and drinks were on point! The tortillas echas a mano really make the difference.“

“La comida super deliciosa, y el servicio de calidad, gracias Sandra por tu atención y profesionalismo“

“Great hostesses ! Went for birthday party it was great !“

“Great dinner tonight. Mexican Indian Fusion. The seasoned chips were served hot and Salsas were flavorful. Portions were plentiful and the prices were family friendly. You can choose 3 different street tacos with rice and beans for $15! The staff was very attentive as we were outside dining. And the waiter left us a pitcher of water for the table. It was most appreciated. We definitely will return.“

“Had a fantastic night at a painting event they had. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. It's a very fun and welcoming environment.“

“good food muy rico todo“

“Incredible dining experience! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere draws you in. The food, especially the langostinos and mehillines left us smiling throughout the meal. The staff was not only friendly but also added to the warmth of the place. A must-visit for anyone looking for fantastic food and a delightful ambiance!“

“Always fast efficient service, great food and owners! We truly alwau feel like we are at home“

“The food is fantastic. The mole sauces are to die for (sshh don’t tell my mom i said that). The table side guacamole is a must do. I look forward to eating my way through the rest of the menu.“
