Ridiculous prices! Beware! You can get a bottle of Jarritos for less than $1 in the city, got to the North Shore and they expect you to pay $3.50. Price gouging!!!!

Best tacos ever! You want authentic Mexican tacos and tortas this is the right place! Pairing sauces are what gives character to a taco! At Fondita Miguel everything was amazing!!
Destination tacos? In Winnetka? Yes - that's now a thing. Fondita Miguel is 45 minutes from us, but is well worth the trip. We had the pastor-marinated (al pastor) pork, chicken tinga, beef birria, and hongos (mushrooms) tacos and got to sample the asada steak - along with the elote (street corn) salad, guacamole, and a variety of salsas (wow!). The beef, chicken, mushrooms, pork, and steak fillings in our tacos are completely different in taste, seasoning, and texture. The spice level is just right for us - with a nice kick, but without burning our taste buds. The corn tortillas were freshly fried and warm, with a soft-crispy texture - they crunch but don't fall apart when you bite into the taco! And the fillings are generous, which I think is a nod to American portion sizes. The salsas are not just your average accompaniment. Each has differently prepared chiles as the base, ranging from a milder, creamy jalapeno salsa to a hotter red salsa (with a secret ingredient). We also heard there's a fourth one that's hotter than the three we tried. Like the salsas, the elote is not just an add-on. It's a must-order dish for whenever you need a refreshing, cool, creamy, and sweet balancing bite between the savory and spicy bites of the tacos. We also enjoyed chatting with the friendly team at Fondita Miguel, and the super-casual, counter-service-and-lunch-bar atmosphere makes you feel like you're on a taco crawl in Chicago - without leaving the 'burbs.
Parking: Park out on the street out front in slots/stalls - no parallel parking necessary.
This was a great place! Nice employees and great food. Probably one of the best tacos I've had and the birria was delicious and at a great price. I would definitely recommend the birria mexican style and the mushroom hongo tacos. The chicken tinga was delicious too! All around a great taco place

Fondita Miguel is a game-changer! The burritos here are on another level—every bite is packed with flavor, and the tortillas are perfectly soft and fresh. The vibrant salsa and sauces add the perfect touch to an already mouthwatering meal. Pairing it with a refreshing Jarritos? Absolute perfection! The portions are satisfying without being overwhelming, and you can tell they care about the details. Whether you’re a burrito enthusiast or just in the mood for good food, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

If you’re in the north shore and you like Mexican food, there’s a new kid in town. My wife and I had chicken taco / lettuce wraps and beef burritos. A+
Best Mexican takeout around by far.

I love Mexican food but this is hands down the best I’ve had in a very long. Unfortunately I’m only in town for a short while but when I come back this will be the first stop! If you’re unsure what to get I highly recommend the asada steak burrito
I am from Mexico so I’m a tough to impress when it comes to authentic Mexican food. This is hands down the best ham and cheese torta I’ve ever had - the ingredients and flavors are incredible.
Also had the tres leches and WOW.

Fantastic! I got two tinga and one beef taco with onion & cilantro with a side of rice and beans. The tacos were incredibly juicy and rich in flavor, with a good tortilla that didn't break or fall apart. You could actually see the food being made, a huge bonus! Salsa roja was not overly spicy, very good and had a distinct smoky flavor that is very rare to find. The entire menu was extremely affordable and great quality.
Met the owner and had a great time talking with him, the entire staff was very friendly and fun to speak with!

Absolutely amazing! I ordered the tacos - one chicken one pork and, of course, the famous Tres Leches for desert. I also tried, for the first time, horchata. Everything was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back!
Great chicken burrito!
