29 Best Mexican Restaurants near Cedar Lake

“My first time here today with friends and it was great. I had shrimp fajitas and tried their strawberry margaritas, both were delicious! My friends had a taco platter and a taco salad, they enjoyed their choices as well.I'll definitely be back!“

“Restaurant was busy but I was seated quickly after a table open and it was cleaned. I was promptly greeted by my server that I informed that I was in a little rush. She took my order and got my food very quickly and with a great attitude and smile! Definitely be coming back!“

“Great lunch and dinner spot with excellent service and cute decor. The bar menu is fantastic (Modelo on draft!) and tasty chips and salsa. I loved the crispy cheese in the queso fundido from the smoking hot platter. I definitely recommend sharing with three or four. Posole was good, but made better with the habanero salsa served with the steak tacos. I've had better steak tacos, but they were still good.According to the signs, Thursday is BOGO half off entrees. We'll definitely come back to try a mixed drink and different meal.“

“Great experience overall! The atmosphere is inviting, and those murals on the walls add a nice touch. The chips with two salsa options were a hit. The grilled fish tacos were delicious, and the aioli sauce was a standout. The friendly servers and positive vibe made the meal even more “

“We have been eating at Fat Burrito since it opened, it is our after work Friday spot. Love all the authentic food. Burritos are great but much more than burritos. My favorite is the bistec con rajas, steak and peppers covered in cheese and hot tortillas! They now have a full bar for those Margaritas, wait staff is just awesome. You will not wait long for a fresh drink or anything you need. Not fancy, just a good spot here in CP.“

“As a busy northwest indiana real estate agent in the go, Rubens is our local go-to Mexican food restaurant. Food quality is high and consistent. Prices are fair and food portions are good. Our favorite is getting the nachos supreme - we get 3 orders for our family of 4 and there’s always a good amount of leftovers left. ?Parking: Lots of available parking located steps from the front door“

“Server was awesome, also she had a lot on her plate, being that she was one of like 2 or 3 servers, I wanted to place a carry out, but our server was so busy. place was busy as well, got my food at an appropriate time, I was really hungry that morning because I worked late and skipped dinner, and went out the next day with the kiddos and wife. so I can't leave an honest review of the food, but I can say is that I didn't send anything back, the biscuits and gravy are not very good either. But honestly I would give this place a 6/10 btw it's so cramped inside, needs a new design format.“

“I meet a friend once a month for lunch and he recommended trying the Santa Fe restaurant. After our arrival I found the decorations in the restaurant were excellent in that it reminded me of restaurants I had eaten in while vacationing in Mexico. The menu as expected was extensive and making a choice was difficult. I ordered the Chiles Rellenos that were very good. Our meals were excellent and we decided to return some time in the future. The wait staff provided us with very good service with attention to any additional needs we may have had. I have added this location to my personal list of good restaurants. I recommend you try The Santa Fe restaurant and decide for yourself.“

“One of the best drink menus I've seen in some time. Dry ice in the Margs--PARTY TIME!! Forgot to get the recipe for the "Blue Motherf@#$er" on my way out. One of my life's biggest regrets.Great chips, salsa. Chimichanga platter was as good as any I've had.Churro with fried ice cream desert you better plan ahead to make room for.Excellent service: friendly, professional, fast.“

“Very authentic tasting food. Wide variety of selections on the menu. Very festive and inviting ambiance. Service was super friendly and very attentive.We had camarones a la diabla, a nicely and comfortably spicy shrimp in tomato sauce. Also had a cheese and spinach enchilada. Spinach one was a bit too salty but they quickly offered to make it right or take it off the bill which was nice. If in the area we will visit again.“

“Genuine goats of mexican food in northwest indiana. I come here almost every day after work with my friends and they're hospitable every time. Waiters and front people are super super nice. Food is incredibly good and cheap for what it is. I will always leave here full. They also made horchata my favorite drink.“

“I can't give this place enough stars!! The food is so amazing. The last time I went, I had Camarones al mojo de ajo. The shrimp were huge and fresh, the garlic sauce was fresh and just full of wonderful flavor. The coconut rice is flavorful but not too sweet. My husband has chicken mole every time we go here and says it's the best mole he's ever had. It's obviously made fresh in house with a lot of love!“

“I've been coming to Court St. Burrito for 3 years now. Rarely do they mess up my order and if they do, they fix it right away. Good prices and good food. I always recommend coming here for good quality food that isn't overly expensive. All there employees are awesome and customer service is great.“

“Emily, our server, went above and beyond when serving us. She would regularly come over and check on us. The service was fantastic and don’t even get me started on the food. The food was so delicious!! I highly recommend trying the tortas.“

“The Queso Fundido / Molten Cheese is the best I have ever had in my life. I would describe it more as a queso dip with chorizo, as the cheese is melty/drippy and served with chips. I am used to queso fundido being more melty/stringy like pizza cheese, and served in tortillas. Either way, it hit the spot. Would definitely recommend 10/10. Rice and beans are delicious. Chorizo has just the right amount of heat. Tortillas have the perfect proportion of meat and flavorful toppings.“

“Food was great, server never came back once our food came so we all needed refills and finally had to go find her to get boxes and the check. We were a party of 6.Next experience was take out. Food was great but service was a little less than desirable when we were asking for some extra sauce.“

“Ordered tacos for breakfast. They were made fresh and still hot when I got home. Steak tacos had a good amount of meat and good flavor but I loved the chicken tacos which I never really do at taco places. Chicken was nicely seasoned and tacos had good portions of meat. Service was also friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back“

“We are from Michigan, down for a softball tournament. I sat in my hotel room for 15 minutes trying to find something "different" the Rib Tips were awesome! My daughter loved her burger, the employees were very friendly and nice, and the owner may have been the coolest guy I've ever met. I had a 10 minute conversation with him about life of all things before we left. What a great restaurant“

“Great food and to me the best Mexican food. Been awhile since I visited Pepes due to none in my immediate area but it was just as I remembered. The burrito suizo was very good a bit smaller than in the past but full of flavor. The pork tacos are the best.“

“Whether good or bad, it just about takes an act of Congress for me to take the time to write a review. I’m 38 years old and have only left two reviews in my entire life, this will be my third. Simply put, the food was hands-down some of the best I have ever had. The hospitality, second to none. For dinner, I had the Superman burrito which consisted of pork, chicken, beef and steak. I’m not much for beef, however, the flavor emitting from it made my stomach feel like it just won the lottery. Thank you Orlando for restoring my faith in the food industry once again.First time customer and future life customer,-Justin“

“Great little place, some seating. Authentic Mexican food to grab and go. Whether you choose pastor, chicken or steak you can't go wrong!. Was recommended to try it and glad I did. Definitely will be trying more from the menu and back again soon.“

“The food is absolutely excellent! The staff is attentive and the kitchen is fast. We have been in four times at the Crown Point location on the square for lunch and are working our way through the taco menu. It’s really hard to pick a favorite because they are all so good. Looking forward to dinner soon!! Highly recommend Veleros to anyone looking for seriously great cuisine.“

“I've been eating here since I was a kid. The staff is kind and attentive, the food portions are large and I have enjoyed a lot of what I have tried. Try the mini burritos, botanas tapatias, or fajitas with a Cadillac margarita in the side. Keep a look out for Mi Ranchito at the Labor Day parade. It is a highlight of the day.“

“I absolutely love the freshly made tacos and tortilla chips! If you peek in da kitchen you might catch a glimpse of abuela cooking. I love that! This is ALWAYS my 1st stop when traveling to Chicago from Southern Indiana. Feels like I'm in abuelas home!!Kid-friendliness: I come with my two younger sons every time. And we are treated like family!!“

“Been coming here for quite sometime, but I've never written a review, I'm only doing it now because of our waitress Christina! She was absolutely AMAZING, our favorite waitress since we've been coming here. She was quick to correct the issues with our order and her upbeat personality made it a very enjoyable experience. We will demerit be coming back when she is working!!“

“I absolutely love these tacos ?❤️ The first time I tried them was on a Tuesday (Taco Tuesday) which tacos are only $2 that day. I ended up ordering 2 chicken, 2 beef and 2 steak tacos. 1 soft shell and 1 hard shell of each kind of meat. To my surprise they were all delicious ? My favorite kind was the hard shell chicken taco ? I'll definitely be back on Tuesday's (more tacos for the money)“

“Food was okay.Absolutely no one In line behind me, but they make you pull up to the curb because they don't want the numbers to go down. So you're waiting out in the middle of nowhere. And you just can't be handed it through the window like a normal transaction because they want to save their numbers..Lame.“

“Portions were amazing.Seriously best athenic I've had in a while .Starting right from the begining with the salsa chips.My server was really nice and professional and patient giving me time to look at menu.Very relaxing atmosphere.Hope your hungry plates are big and full.I would give 10 “
