50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Roselle

“Had the Steak Burrito. The presentation, size and taste were what I expected. They had the good hot type / red sauce which some other places don't have. However it seemed as if the lettuce and tomato overpowered the steak/ beans & cheese? Not quite sure but something was off with the lettuce ? It did seem to be the typical shredded lettuce I've had in other burrito's?“

“The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was truly top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout our visit. The steak was especially impressive—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The horchata exceeded expectations and was one of the best I’ve had. The salsa was also a standout, offering great flavor without being overly spicy.

The only small downside was that the fountain drinks did not include refills. Aside from that, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely come back again.“

“Went to La Hacienda de Roselle for lunch/dinner. Best place ever for Mexican food. They give you so much food and it is very inexpensive. The staff there is friendly and you get great service. I can't say enough how great the food is. Best Mexican Restaurant in all of the Suburbs of Illinois. It deserves 5 Stars and even more! Love it there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had a fantastic meal/Margaritas at Sammy’s Mexican Grill made even better by our amazing server, Martin! He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. His recommendations were spot on, and his service was exceptional. Thank you, Martin, for making our visit special! We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“Lively place which is visually lovely!! Great artwork and fantastic ceilings with lights! Went on a Saturday night around 6 and very thankful we had a reservation. When we left two hours later there were still people pouring in!
We started with guac which was delicious and fresh- chips were an unspectacular but the flavors in the guac hid it well. House margarita was large and good- could have been better-but still decent for the price. I had the combo platter which included a taco, tostada, enchilada and tamale along with beans and rice. The food was fresh, plentiful and delicious (still good reheated the next day). Service could have been more attentive but not taking off a star for it because the food was that good!
Definitely utilize the valet- parking is tricky.“

“Terrace Cantina is hands-down our favorite Mexican restaurant, and it has been for years. It’s one of those truly underrated gems that makes you wonder how more people don’t know about it—especially when it’s so much better than any chain restaurant around.

The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels like comfort food you crave and something special at the same time. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, perfect whether you’re out for a casual dinner or celebrating something.

What really sets Terrace Cantina apart, though, are the people. The owners are wonderful, the servers are attentive and kind, and you genuinely feel appreciated every time you walk in. Even our toddler loves it here and begs to go after daycare—which says a lot. They’re patient, friendly, and make dining with a little one feel easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food in a place that feels like a community favorite (not a corporate chain), Terrace Cantina is it. We’ll keep coming back—just like we always have.“

“Very good mexican food, great flavors. This place is a level above your normal mexican restaurant. I had the pork tacos and the meat comes off a rotating spit with a pineapple on top. Meat was nicely browned and so was the pineapple. The salsas have great flavor.The tres Leche cake is delicious and made on-site. Staff is great. Nice family owned place. I also stop on for breakfast items also. Will be back again.“

“Just the best! My favorite restaurant in the world! The habanero hot sauce is amazing and I love the mole enchiladas! �“

“Doris was extremely helpful, and honestly the entire staff was amazing. We had a great time celebrating foxy birthday. Fat Rosie’s food is always on point—I've been here quite a few times and I really love how consistent everything is. That consistency keeps me coming back, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“The best steak tacos.....“

“Great place. The food is consistently good!“

“the stake plate is superr delicious 😋“

“It's hard to find Mexican restaurants to get absolutely everything right, this is the one. Rice and beans were great, Pollo a la Mexicana was the perfect amount of taste and spiciness. The cheese stretches multiple feet into the air like it was real fresh cheese melted to perfection. I can't recommend this place enough. The building is very cute and the staff is super nice.“

“Quickly becoming my favorite place to get Mexican food in the Northwest suburbs. I’ve ordered out 4 times so far, and the food has been consistently excellent. Would highly recommend the pastor and asada tacos on the homemade corn tortillas, the burritos and tortas are also excellent.“

“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!“

“The quesabirria tacos were so delicious! The consomé was full of flavor and the waitress and hostess were very nice!“

“Amazing food and drinks!!“

“Love the nachos! Super yummy and a fun change up for lunch. The staff unfortunately created an uncomfortable dining experience with a lot of cussing and yelling coming from the kitchen. F’bombs about politics and covering shifts made for an unpleasant atmosphere. The lack of maintaining a professional environment or even a family friendly environment was lost today. Sounds like the staff needs a manager to be present. Take your nachos to go.“

“Went here for the first time after seeing a TikTok and the food is GREAT! It’s DELICIOUS 😋 definitely a place to try with your fam or a date the drinks are well presented just like their dishes! I had the 12inch Quesabirria and it was flavorful“

You love to talk about different things or goals for the week definitely was able to have a good meal and set goals for the month with my business partner. I will be back the customer service was great. The food is great and the atmosphere highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Best Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico. The best quality perfectly cooked steak I’ve ever had in a burrito. Priced very affordable. I pray this place never closes. I’ll be traveling back to the area just to go to this place. I’ve been to every Taqueria inside every supermercado from Chicago to Milwaukee. I’m telling You, this little place is the best!“

“Tacos de carne asada are the best around! And their walking taco is a fave too. Staff is always friendly, highly recommend this family-owned restaurant.“

“I’ve been coming for over 30 years nowhere comes close to your food. Always consistent— authentic and fabulous food!“

“I like this place a lot because the food is crazy good and it's clean. The service and atmosphere are lack luster and the food makes up for it. I drive by this place going to Los Burrito's often. I wish they were more friendly and I would go here more.“

“We went to Mago in Barrington last night for the first time and were blown away. They were very busy so we sat at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. Food was terrific and the menu features things you won’t find at your standard Mexican restaurant like three choices of mole. Tableside guacamole is absolutely lovely. I have to say, though, what made our experience was watching the magnificent bartender. His efficiency, speed, and obvious dedication to what he was doing was just a marvel. He never stopped moving! We will definitely be back as every aspect of our experience was very enjoyable.“

“Great food. Great service.“
