50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Dyer

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I had to come leave a review because I just had the best experience at this Dyer Chipotle. The girls working up front were extremely kind, as well as the man (manager I'm assuming) working with them. I truly appreciated how kind their employees are. :)“

“Delicious food! Will return!“

“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! 🔥“

“Food was so good! Happy we were able to try it while visiting out of state. Tacos de tripa y birria were so good. We had the queda berria combo with the tapatío Roman and that was delicious. We had some filled churros to end the night. 10/10 recommend. Limited sitting but great places to get take out and enjoy!“

“Me facino!! el ambiente y personal son muy agradables, pero sobre todo la comida es super Deliciosa“

“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!“

“Wonderful place. Staff is all family and so inviting. Food was great and the Michelada....AMAZING!!!“

“Listen this is an amazing taco truck. I have not been a food truck fan but the pictures caught my attention. I ordered the chicken taco dinner and from the refried beans to each taco the flavors were amazing. I didn’t get a chance to try the rice because it was so much food and my husband left it out. My food looked exactly like the pictures. I was to hungry at the time to take a picture for this review but I will on my next visit. I’ll be back!“

“Love the atmosphere and the owner and staff is wonderful. The food is delicious 😋“

“I recently ordered pork & steak tacos for a party of 20, with rice beans and all the dressings ( onions, cilantro, tomatoe, lettuce) the family & friends raved & raved how delicious authentic Mexican food was! I've known Elios family ( my extended family) for years, they are the best tacos in NWI???“

“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.“

“I LOVE her beef soup, the broth is amazing. Dine-in, or carry out you're getting authentic Mexican food. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“OMG! I ordered their pork dinner and it was really delicious. The Chili Rellenos with the sauce on the side was to die for!! I will definitely be back
Sorry I didn’t even think about taking pictures but believe me it’s well worth it and the cost in my budget 2 meals $20 ?

Kid-friendliness: Fast service and very friendly“

“I get the chicken quesadillas here all the time, and they are always delicious!“

“Man these Tacos and Tortas are the best. Every time I am in the South suburbs I come here to grab some. They are cash only so come with cash. The guy's been working here forever. They just recently repainted and remodeled just a little bit. The food is the same from years ago when I was coming here. I'm glad they're back open“

“Small town charm. Taco stand in the back corner of a bar. You eat here. You don't dine here. We prefer take out. We've traveled coast to coast & border to border for over 50 years trying Mexican food everywhere. This is our top choice for the best Mexican dishes anywhere.“

“Excellent quality, authentic Mexican food. BUT… BRING BACK THE OLD SALSA 😭 Plenty of my friends and I agree the old salsa was 100% better.“

“I was at SSC for my son's graduation ceremony and was hungry, I tried to go to a birriera place down the block but they were closed. So I found this place and it exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for just some decent tacos but they were better than decent. Only problem now is, I live in Indiana, 30 minutes from here...so I'm gonna have to take a lil drive for these tacos again 😆! Carne asada, pastor and lengua tacos on homemade and regular corn tortillas were all delicious. The asada had a bit of a sweet flavor to it, I assume they might use oranges as a marinade idk, they were good either way.“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“Great Authentic Mexican food and Service.
Our server, Lalo, was exceptionally, friendly, helpful, and patient; being that it was our first time here. The Drinks we ordered were top tier and definitely worth the price.
I will definitely return to celebrate my birthday here!“

“Had lunch here, food was pretty good. Location was previously a different "UFO" restaurant, that had since closed and re-opened as the current Mexican place. At the time I was last there, the Google Maps entry for this place hadn't updated yet, so this review was added belatedly.“

“the best mexican food in the area coupled with the friendliest staff ever! We have not had anything that isnt good.“

“Cuando entre no pense que me encantaria la comida. Pero es una de las mejores enchiladas de asada que eh comido, que hasta el plato limpie. No caen pesadas a tu estomago . Muy buena comida 🍲 Me encantaron!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This taco place is the bomb! And they have very Quick and Respectful service, personally I believe they are the best in town. Give them a Try!“

“I love this place. They are fast, efficient and kind. Their sauces are the best around. I eat vegetarian dishes, so the condiments really make a difference. This place is the best, the prices are good. I have been coming here for many many years. Let's keep the place here for a long long time! Back in the day I found myself eating there several times a week!

Vegetarian options: Tacos, burritos probably anything you ask.“

“Was so good will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Good Mexican food served fast. My go-to for Tortas and Tacos.“

“I have lived here in the heights for many years and this is the first time I have eaten here and let me tell you, this restaurant is one of the best Mexican restaurant ever..The waitress I had was named Julie, she pleasant and courteous. My order came very quickly and the food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back here for sure on the weekend to try the homemade tortillas. I give million star rating.“
