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.“

“Very fast and pleasant service, along with amazing food served here. 10/10 best restaurant I’ve been to in Grayslake! Sat down at 7:45, watched our food and drinks made be served before 8.

“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.“

“Great food. Love their steak tostadas.“

“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“

“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“

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯“

“they have great food, service“

“Best tacos in all of Lake County. Any people who leave bad reviews just don’t understand what a local Taqueria does. This place is hands-down the best place for ceviche and any other seafood cocktail. The tacos are a delicacy of Waukegan! I drive 45 minutes from the city just to get their delicious Micheladas.“

“Saw this place while driving n just thought let's have Mexican food tonight. Food was amazingly good! Very flavorful and excellent spiciness! Probably not where I would want to eat at the restaurant, but would definitely get carryout again!“
