50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Dyer

“Always friendly and food and drinks made fresh. Enjoy that owner came to ask how our meal was. Surprised that they offered a free taco lunch on my birthday. This makes about 6-8 times I’ve been here, with the same great food and service. I highly recommend going here when Mexican food is on your mind.“

“First time there food was amazing, service was great and restaurant is beautiful“

“Food is amazing service is greatttt“

“The stars are for the Dyer restaurant. I've also been to Lansing (on Torrence Ave). I'll tell you about both and compare them for you, but all I've ever eaten here is barbacoa because you can't find it by my house & I LOVE it. (My husband has tried a couple of other things, but he'd never had barbacoa before and once he tried mine, that's all he's eaten, also. 😂)

🔸Dyer - I've been here many times. It's not fancy, but it's clean and the service is quick. I've eaten inside and taken my food to go. You order at the counter and they bring you the food which is DELICIOUS‼️ It's the best barbacoa I've had in YEARS! So good! 😋

🔸Lansing - I've only been here once. I took my food to go. It looks a little fancier (more colorful and modern) and it appeared as though they had more people working there, but the service didn't seem quite as fast as in Dyer, and this restaurant is on the corner of a very busy street, and it was dinner time. (The Dyer restaurant is not as big for inside dining, but it's also very busy. However, it's located in a not very busy corner mall.)

I was disappointed in Lansing's barbacoa after having eaten Dyer's many times and come to expect steady perfection. Here, it was dark and dried out. It's a good thing I ordered some guacamole on the side to add to my tacos. I always order extra cheese on my tacos but here, I don't think I even got the normal amount and I paid almost a dollar a taco for it. (So much for my "Taco Tuesday" discount.) My husband ordered the same in a burrito and he felt the same way that I did. We were very disappointed when we got home - and the food was still very hot, so we can't blame it on that.

I never thought to order guacamole in Dyer, but in Lansing they have an open freezer (to the side) for Mexican popsicles and such, and an open fridge right at the counter, so the guacamole, amongst other things (I don't remember what), were impossible to ignore. I did appreciate that they offered two kinds - with everything and plain. Not only was it very tasty, but I had a small amount left because I didn't eat all of my food at once, and the guacamole stayed fresh and green in my fridge for TWO DAYS! Unheard of!

So, all in all, I might try the Lansing location again, but the Dyer location is totally in my heart for their barbacoa and people. Time after time it's been tender and scrumptious and the people are warm and friendly - something I cannot say about the Lansing location.

Btw, both places have plenty of free parking - in Lansing, on both sides of the building and in Dyer, a large, shared lot right in front. Wheelchair accessibility is good in Dyer, but I think it would be more difficult in Lansing.“

“great soup!“

“I did a pick up order through the rapid lane, and it was the best experience that I have ever had picking up a food order! Sierra really went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy. Moving forward, I will go out of my way to patron this Chipotle because of her assistance and willingness to accommodate me!“

“Great Experience at Taco Bell in Dyer, IN!

Today, I skipped my usual go-to spots for Taco Bell because it was cold, and I didn’t feel like getting out of the car. I’m so glad I did! I tried the Steak and Fries Nachos with Garlic Butter Sauce on the side, plus two Double Tacos with light meat from the value menu—all for just $11.

The Steak and Fries Nachos were absolutely delicious, and the tacos were fresh and made to order. While I wish they had added a bit more cheese and included napkins in the bag, the staff was clean, friendly, and punctual.

I’ll definitely be back to this location soon. And I won’t forget to grab some Taco Bell Fire Sauce—it takes everything up a notch! 🔥“

“Delicious 100% Authentic Mexican food, freshly prepared. I went with the Zacatecana burger and it did not disappoint at all, I added avocado slices and it enhanced my burger. They are known for their “Quesabirria’s” along with ramen, it was very delicious and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this homey feel restaurant, you will not regret it. Customer service was very nice and fast. Cards are accepted.“

“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!“

“🌮 Absolutely amazing food truck!
They serve some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve tried every single one, and they never disappoint. The shrimp tacos are my personal favorite — packed with flavor — but the tripe, salmon, and steak tacos are also incredibly tasty.

Their nachos are great as well, loaded and satisfying. And you can’t leave without getting one of their horchata drinks… so refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

Highly recommend stopping by if you want quality, flavorful food every time.“

“Como Cristiana me encanta visitar. Cuando me toca cerca de la TV le bajan al volumen para que la música secular no retumbe en mi oído. La birria y el pozole es lo que más pido pero todo tiene su gran sazón. Un excelente lugar para disfrutar, solo o en familia . Me encanta.“

“Im waiting for the St. John location to be on Google so i can give another 5 star review. I ordered a simple take out from them and the people there are so nice.

“Ta Canijo is such a gem! The food is always fresh and packed with authentic flavor, and I love that they have so many options to choose from. The customer service is just as amazing—everyone is so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots to eat!“

“The food here is very flavorful and authentic Mexican flavor. The menu is simple, goat birria, consomé and tacos. There are only a 4 tables to seat and eat, and if they are full, you just have to stand and wait for your turn. Very homemade meal. Recommend for those who are looking for authentic Mexican atmosphere and food.“
