11 Best Mexican Restaurants in Gary

“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???“

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

“One ☝️ of the best Barbecue spots in town. Great food awesome customer service. And love their Thursday game night free entry w/karaoke.“

“We found this place on our way to Raleigh, NC from Chicago. Stopped here after reading reviews online. TRUST THE REVIEWS that say this place is good...IT IS GOOD! We just moved to the Chicago area from South Texas, so we know good Mexican food and this place does not disappoint! If you are anywhere near Gary Indiana, you have to stop in to Chela's. It's not fancy at all, but is very clean and the prices are good. We had the Birria Tacos, chips and salsa and several different meat tacos. Then, on our way back from North Carolina, we stopped in again! My fiance thinks this is the best Mexican food outside of Texas. THAT'S saying something! We can't wait to go back!“

“They were super friendly and the food was delicious 😋“

“Places like this will be over looked if you not from the area. This food is great and service is ok, but the hole in the wall spot will have people like me not returning because how are you investing into your business. Why not fix up the place when you are making good money. I don't like investing in places like this.. it looks a mess inside and out.“

“They expect you to pay them to be rude. The woman at the front taking the orders needs a different job that does not require her to deal with the public because her communication skills absolutely SUCKS. No worries they have lost other customers and just lost another one and anybody that I can tell. They are definitely not the El Norteno of old so sad after decades“

“Delicious tacos, amazing price on readily available tamales, good authentic Mexican food and best of all for all you 2020 folks... I felt pandemic safe there - they seem to actually take it seriously with a full wall to wall barrier and turnstile (for payment and outgoing food) between them and customers, but you can also see that they're masked up properly back there. It's cash only, so be prepared to sanitize/wash hands, but they also have an ATM right there that only costs $1 to use. I'm not often in Gary, but I wouldn't even bother to look for anywhere else to eat next time I am, I look forward to going back to elios!“

“This Puerto Rican loves this little Mexican restaurant! I always order their pork hard-shelled tacos. ? ? Their rice and beans are delicious, as well! Customer Service is superb! My only complaint is that they are not available through DoorDash.I highly recommend El Ranchito! You won't be disappointed!“
