50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Schererville

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

“We initially came to La Carreta Restaurant & Bar in Schererville with a BIG group for a surprise party, so the seating situation was a little daunting at first. My family of four simply wanted to enjoy dinner and leave, and after a little confusion and negotiation, the staff graciously allowed us to have our own table. Once that was settled, it was smooth sailing!

We immediately ordered two strawberry margaritas and one lime margarita on the rocks. They were made perfectly—exactly what we were hoping for! 😊

Our family ordered two Texas steak, chicken & shrimp fajitas, three shrimp tacos, and a Texas Burrito loaded with everything. The steak was tender, the shrimp was juicy, and the chicken was seasoned to perfection. The flavor of the food was unmatched compared with similar restaurants in the area. Everything was absolutely delicious! I was only able to capture a picture of the fajitas, but trust me, everything was flavorful.

Our waiter, Jaime, was wonderful—truly one of the best servers we’ve had in a very long time. He was attentive, personable, and made the experience feel welcoming and memorable.

Needless to say, we will be back! The atmosphere was clean, organized, and family-friendly. We truly appreciate all of the accommodations and hospitality!“

“our first time and it was amazing very good food. we will be back soon.“

“I would like to officially thank the amazing staff for outstanding service and highly recommend El Salto in Schererville!! We continue to appreciate you for treating us like family and friends week after week, and LOVE all of your delicious food! Thank you for making every visit feel like a celebration!“

“My family and I have been here several times and have always enjoyed ourselves. It’s a great place for large groups. Sometimes the volume is a little high but very enjoyable. Service is amazing, staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and provides excellent service.“

“Great service and friendly staff. Great place to unwind!“

“A friend recommended Las Jacarandas for great Mexican food in the area. We ordered a ton of items to take out. Was not disappointed whatsoever! Tried an assortment of items (chile relleno dinner, variety of tacos such as beef, fish, steak, pork, chorizo, chicken mole) and everything was excellent! The sides (rice, refried beans) and the sauces were all excellent and better than any other Mexican restaurant. Cannot wait to eat in next time!..This place rocks!!“

“I live around the block from here and have been a customer since they first opened! Each visit is always a great experience! The staff is super friendly and so sweet. They treat their customers like family. And the food is phenomenal 😋 have never had any issues coming here and will continue to support this small business ❤️“

“🌮 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.“

“Amazing food and amazing service... they were busy so it took a little bit... but it was SO worth the wait! Do yourself a favor... get away from the airport/Chicago as fast as you can... drive right by cracker barrel and get breakfast here... food was awesome!!! Prices are great too!!“

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

“The food was fantastic, and I don't think I've ever had such delicious chips and salsa! I highly suggest the fiesta combo with a margarita. The platter was so big we ended up taking most of it home, and the margarita was top notch! We'll be back!“

“Hidden gem! Great food! We have been several times and every time enjoy! Great consistency! Great people!“

“Me and my husband loved it. A nice place to have a date night, or eat lunch. They have a nice menu for you to choose from. The prices are good. Our server was really nice. They even had a photo booth where you can take pictures. And their drinks were pretty good.“

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

“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.“

“Trying this place for the first time. Ordered the shrimp delight and was VERY impressed! Not spicy and the flavors of everything mixed so well. Will definitely be back to try some other entrees“

“Food is amazing service is greatttt“

“Amazing food, amazing staff, and amazing service. A place I will continue to go for years to come.“

“Good food , fair prices, ample portions“

“Excellent food, we didn’t have the belly space to try the chicken, ground beef or veggies tacos. The pastor and Barbacoa were top notch. The steak was good too but I would do the barbacoa over the steak. The Guacamole was thick and delicious with sauces that were flavorful and complimentary to the food.“

“Great food fast service and amazing workers! Family own so you know it’s the best in town!!“

“The rice was amazing! One of the reasons I wanted to come here ASAP! Definitely worth the wait. Pastellilos had cheese in them (never had cheese in them before) and were perfectly crispy. Overall, a great experience. I will definitely be a return customer whenever I'm craving Puerto Rican rice. I already recommended this place to a fellow coworker! The portions were generous and very satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. The flavors reminded me of authentic home-cooked Puerto Rican food. The staff was friendly and made the ordering process easy. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. I didn't have to wait too long for my food, which was a nice bonus. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other menu items. This place definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'm glad I gave it a try.“

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

“I just want say, THANK YOU so much for how I enjoyed my food I just ordered! It was still hot and everything tasted amazing! First time trying Birria Taco Dinner and I will be ordering them again and soon. I came in there before to try your menu, b8t my son being able to decide, caused me to leave and just say I'll come back by myself! lol...I ordered the Burrito El Viejon for him and HE LOVED IT!!! Waiting for my wife to try the Flautas Dinner because that's her favorite! She's from East Chicago, IN and grew up eating them. Just want to say the food was simply delicious!!!“

“I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Their food is definitely authentic and I'm not easy to recommend as authentic, prices are reasonable and service is great“

“They use to be my go to but since the owner doesn't be there anymore they be messing up. I've asked to speak with the owner for 2 different occasions and never got a call back. I've been rocking with them since they were on US 30. I always spend over $20 anytime I go there but when my oder is messed up I NEVER receive any accommodation. How do I order staek and shrimp fajitas but get home and dont have shrimp and I was told the only thing she could do was not charge me for shrimp next time I make a purchase or I could come get the shrimp that THEY forgot to put on my food. Merrillville location“

“Best Gyros in Merrillville! Don't forget the Chilli Cheese Dogs or Pizza Puffs! This is Old School Pirate Food...“

“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.“
