Mexican Restaurants near Saint John

“The food is always good. But sometimes better than others. This visit was really good. The food was fresh and delicious. My only negative is we come in a lot between lunch and dinner rush. And they are cleaning the kitchen during that time. (I appreciate the cleanliness) but sometimes when the cleaning scent is in the air and you're eating at the same time it is confusing to your senses. So maybe it could be ventilated outside somehow while the cleaning is happening?Thank you for the great food!“

“Taco Bell is a fast-food chain recognized for its inventive take on Mexican-inspired cuisine. The menu is diverse, offering items like tacos, burritos, and specialty creations. While not authentic Mexican food, it's known for its unique flavors and combinations. It's often a budget-friendly choice with plenty of options for customization. Service speed can vary, but for those looking for a quick and tasty fast-food experience, Taco Bell remains a popular choice.“

“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 “

“BEST TORTILLAS EVER!!! I can't get over the fact that the tortillas were fresh and homemade. Both servers were very kind and helped at any chance they could. When you eat here expect to feel at home! The whole vibe gives off family meals at your tias house.“

“Definitely recommend that everyone check this place out. Everything we've tried here has been amazing. The ice cream is just heavenly. It's made in house. The people are so kind, polite and friendly. Five stars across the board.“

“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“

“First time visiting this restaurant. A very different but pleasing atmosphere inside in that it's not your typical Mexican restaurant, well appointed and very clean. The service was attentive and the meal was delivered to the table as ordered.“

“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!“

“Amazing food!! The cheesy order with the birria & the LA style tacos were to die for. About $25 for 2 people. The flavors are unlike any other tacos I’ve had before and I will definitely be back. The dining area felt a bit like a VFW but it looks like they are adding some improvements. I wish I knew about this place sooner, but it is hard to see from the street. I will also say that the staff was great & the service was quick.“

“We are a local business and we ordered catering for a meeting. The food was delicious! They were very generous with the taco meat, everyone loved the flavor, and the cost was very reasonable per person (with rice and beans). Highly recommended for office or home!“

“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.“

“So I've me here several times and everything I've tried so far ha been amazing I love the $1 tacos the best. The fried chicken is very flavorful. It you want sauce in side they are more then happy to do that and try to accommodate everyone and their needs. I would recommend to try this place out. They also have a second location right inside gary that just opened up if that's closer to you.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My friends and I love this taco place! The food is absolutely amazing, everything from the tacos to the desserts! It’s a plus that the owner and cook is always pleasant and in good spirits! I pray that nothing but good comes to your business, so many are missing out!“

“Hands down this is the best place for authentic Mexican food! Would not go anywhere else! The don't hold back on delicious ingredients! They stuff your plate enormous generous servings and delicious! The people are kind service is awesome, food is awesome! Place is spotless and definitely reasonable prices! This is a must go to place!“

“So I'm a big taco lover specially asada and today I tried their asada tacos and all I have to say BEST TACOS IN HAMMOND..yes I have tried them all so with certainty I can highly recommend street shack your go to for asada tacos and that salsa literally FIRE so delicious...I'll be back soon for more.“

“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“

“The place isn't fancy - has a "hole in the wall" vibe with only two tables, but the food was fantastic. Their steak was cut super thin which kept it moist and crunchy. I had the taco meal with a steak/chorizo taco, pastor, and a beef tongue and they were all flavorful, perfectly cooked, and delicious. My friend had the chiles relenos and he also commended this dish. The salsa verde was some of the best I've had, and I've traveled in Mexico a fair bit. If you're in the area and want a delicious and affordable meal, this is worth a stop. And the folks there were super nice!“

“The food is always delicious. The people that work there are so sweet and friendly. Right now, the parking is challenging because of the road work surrounding it. Also, it's best to make sure your order is correct. Have them say it back to you because I've had my order wrong a couple of times but they nicely corrected it for me. I do feel we should support them. Their food is delicious.“

“I haven’t even touched the food yet but I just received amazing costumer service from the girl who answered the phone to the guy in the drive thru window they were absolutely awesome I am willing to come again just based on that 3/5/24 8:45“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“All I can say they are so delicious…… The nachos are large portions comes in a medium size pizza box enough for 2 people to share……..My favorite is the chicken nachos which is loaded with melted cheese………I finally tried the pork and when I say it’s so tender no fat let’s just say I have 2 favorites now…….If you're looking for some good food come here“

“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 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.“

“I was passing through the place and I found this place, the food is very good and delicious, the tacos ? and the delicious gorditas are very generous with the meat ?, I ordered takeout and the only thing I didn't like was that they charged me for the lemons hehe, On the receipt there was a charge of $1.50 for lemons, but it is worth eating at this place, as a recommendation they need a spicier sauce, I hope to return soon ?“

“OMG, my brother and I got the steak fajita's, they were absolutely delicious. Like heaven in your mouth. But they have many more entrees, which if I had a bigger stomach, I would have ordered more but they give you free chips and a warm salsa, excellent and they refilled it twice for nothing. The waitress was so friendly withe the warmest smile, very kind. I love the experience and I plan on going back many more times“

“The food is always so good. The service was great, reasonably priced. And the kids love going so that's a plus.Parking: The parking lot is shared with other businesses. But it's not usually overly crowded.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids section on the menu that includes a variety of items such as tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, chicken strips and fries or rice and beans.“

“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.“

“This is my second day in a row and let me tell you! The ice cream and treats are great!! I will always support family businesses because I too work at one!! Will be back I stay only few blocks away!! Great job and I don’t mind the wait!! Also y’all please tip if you can!! ❤️I always try to leave a few dollars! Great service“

“This was my first time at the Munster El Salto Location, & I was very impressed! From first pulling in the parking lot, I saw that it was a popular spot to dine on a Saturday night! ? The staff was so friendly and nice, & they seated us quickly. The decor in the restaurant was unique & inviting. The crowd was so diverse; all races and ages were out having a good time. We ordered frozen margaritas, queso fundido for the appetizer, & fajitas for our entrées. Everything was delicious, & I left with plenty of leftovers for the next day ? I'd definitely return for another visit! ????“

“Server was kind and very patient. Pina colada was soooo good, and the food was delicious. I will definitely be coming back!Kid-friendliness: Children are happily eating with their families. Wonderful to see a child friendly environment.Parking: Easy parking, and close to entrance.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs.“

“I placed a large order \ catering order for a work party for the first time. Ordered 3 kinds of tacos, large tray of rice, and toppings and salsa for the rice. Everything turned out amazing and packaged nicely and they even offered to help me take it to my car. Thank you Fuerte!! I haven't been here in a couple of years since I graduated from Purdue but I think the food tastes even better than I remember.“

“Had the loaded nachos with chicken and it was so delicious. The horchata was amazing too! Food and service was great. There was a live band there, sounded nice but was a bit louder than expected it to be. Basically couldn't hear a thing when our table was trying to talk. Was having to shout my order at the server and felt bad but I think she understood ? I didn't know they had a DJ on Saturday nights either but overall good vibes at this place!“

“I don't think the server understood what I was saying. I requested for it NOT to be spicy. And it's definitely so spicy that I couldn't eat. It didn't complain about it because I didn't want to go back out. Just gave it to my son, who likes spicy food. I'll make sure the next time that I get a clearer understanding. “

“They got super busy as soon as we walked in and they managed to take 6 orders at once the food is fire to me I ate everything ? ? ? Good place if you tired of Eating pizza and chicken wings ? ?Vegetarian options: Pretty much rice and beans and salsaKid-friendliness: Just don't get spicy sauceParking: Parking lot is little“

“Great place, amazing food, lovely service. I get my very own special combo of the chicken barbacoa nachos(everything on the side+avocados)and the karla tacos(only cilantro and onion +guac and sour cream and cheese). Always get everything just right“

“Excellent!! Tried Birriria tacos for the first time ever from their food truck OMG delicious, and flavorful and juicy when you bite it...LOVE iT And they are really really very nice people, friendly professional people excellent service excellent food.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“
