50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wadsworth

“This place was hands down THE BEST Mexican food spot around town. If i was on death row, I would order from this place. The tamales are out of this world, better than Mexico itself. My moms food does not even touch the level of Michelin this place deserves.“

“Wonderful to work with Jay to support BMS girls lacrosse. Donated 40 tacos for pre-game meal!“

“Very straight forward place with cute charm. It was delicious! The service was quick and since it's an open concept kitchen it looked clean. We had great service and we left with leftovers.“

“We were driving through the area and wanted Mexican food when we stumbled upon Dulce Margaritas. The food was so flavorful and the service was awesome! We enjoyed talking to the owner and will definitely be back! I'm looking forward to a margarita already!“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“The owners are so nice and they treat you with respect. A very good place with very, very good food. My family and I love this place.“

“I recently started working right across the street from this place! I’ve never had their food but today I decided to give them a try and I got myself the Picadillo Torta and it was exceptional. The cashier was so nice and gave me a complementary small drink since I didn’t have enough money to pay for it.

Definitely will be recommending them💗✨“

“Recomendado 100% Todo muy delicioso!“

“Fantastic Mexican food. Friendly Staff. Hidden Gem. Eat local.“

“First time there. The salsa is the best salsa I have ever had so if I return I will be getting that. I was with one other person and we split the “Nacho Mama Nachos” which were really good, but had the tiniest scoop of guacamole which was not impressive. The watermelon frozen margarita was the WORST margarita I have ever had and I had to send it back because I couldn’t continue to drink it and I just had water for the rest of the night. They have quite an extensive drink list so I would try a different margarita but not that one.“

“The food is always fresh and well prepared with great portions. The restaurant is always super clean and well maintained. The customer service is great as well. There is a reason El Famous has been around forever. They are consistently excellent.“

Everyone loved it. our waitress Emma was a pure delight. It was pretty busy when we got there and she never missed a beat. Very friendly, attentive, and prompt. Great food,service, and atmosphere. we highly recommend.“

“Great food, great service, great drinks. It’s always a family favorite!“

“Me and my Husband recently found out about this amazing place and if you want authentic Mexican cooking that's exactly what you will get. It made me emotional because it's reminded me of my grandma kitchen and the food was by far the best I've ever had. I leave extremely full and the food is fresh,hot and delicious. The cook are too older women Tere and Reyna and I have fell absolutely in love with there cooking. They never forget a customer and even make empanadas that are great snack to take home.My favorite are the chicken enchiladas I go crazy for the red sauce no one has made it as good or even close. The waiters are awesome always the boys are always a great conversation and get what I need right away. Go easy on the girl she does smile and will get the hang of the job.(Never know what a person going thru so be nice) But a 30 minute drive is always worth it. This is our favorite place and we try a new place everytime we decide to dine but now can't stop coming back for more. so from illinois and wisconsin this is our #1 spot and we'll worth it so glad it ain't far but I drive hours for the food!“

Service is quick, and the staff are welcoming, making the dining experience even better. The place is clean and has a comfortable, casual vibe. It’s a great spot for grabbing a quick meal or enjoying dinner with friends“

“great restaurant very good food and service“

“we just happened to be in the area visiting family and saw it on the drive. we were NOT prepared to have one of the most satisfying meals we have had in awhile. the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. delicious AND reasonably priced staff was attentive and friendly. atmosphere very pleasant and inviting. a local gem!“

“Tolucos is easy to find and has plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The space inside is a bit on the smaller side, but they are expanding, so that says a lot about how well they are doing. Now let’s talk about the food. Flavor. Real flavor. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully made. I had the pozole flight, and it was honestly a treat. Every single bite delivered. You can tell this is comfort food done right. The tacos dorados were hands down the best I’ve ever had. I went with the papa ones, and they were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. I also tried a birria taco, which was amazing and packed with rich flavor. Their salsas and chiles deserve a shoutout too. Bold, fresh, and on point. Nothing watered down. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and I would absolutely come back without hesitation. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food done right.“

“The best margs and Palomas around. The homemade tortillas are killer. I haven't had anything here I didn't like“

“Their chicken asados are always so good this place is slept on surprised they don’t have a line waiting outside 💯“

“Very poor service. They forgot our order and we waited for almost 2 hours. Eventually canceled our food. They did give us a round of drinks but disappointed. It says I recommend but it should say do not!“

“In general, Mexican food is tasty, and here it is still tasty, but in particular in this establishment they roast the chicken and serve it with the feathers, you can even see the chicken roasting even with the feathers in the kitchen, a huge point to improve. They must improve hygiene and keep tables clean for customers“

“Muy bueno el caldo de camarón 🦐 mejor k en los restaurantes de mariscos 🤤😋 se los recomiendo“

“Food was delicious and staff very friendly,food came out quickly“

“they have great food, service“

“Ordered the chicken taco dinner and asked for lettuce and cilantro only and just rice and no beans. The tacos had onions as well as lettuce and cilantro. Went back to complain and they remade them and made sure i was happy before I left. 4 stars because i had to go back.“

“las quesadillas, los tacos, las tortas, en una palabra todo esta muy rico“

“Best carnitas and prices in Waukegan!! I’ve tried from so many places and nothing beats the authenticity of the food they provide from the carnitas, to nopales, delicious salsas, homemade rice, they even have tortillas in case you forgot some at the store. Their Barbacoa is to die for! And their guacamole is on point! Try them out you won’t regret ❤️“

“These tacos are seriously packed 🌮🔥 - they’re so full that you could easily turn one into two smaller ones and still be satisfied 😄 The portions are generous and the fillings are super flavorful 🤤 I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great taco experience 👍 One small tip: ask for the shell to be lightly greased so it holds everything together better and doesn’t split at the bottom 😉 Makes a big difference while eating! Enjoy your meal, everyone 😁✨“

“My favorite Mexican restaurant, just wish they would bring back their lunch buffet. it was the best 👌“
