Mexican Restaurants near Winfield

“We were there for the first time tonight and we loved it! The first thing I noticed was that the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated and much larger than I anticipated. The staff was friendly and attentive. The menu was huge and our food came quickly. The food was excellent, as was our margarita and the quantities filled us up. Prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back!“

“I’ve been to the Winfield Taco Bell before, and always have had great service. Today, I was pulling up to the window and the customer in the car ahead of me was being so nasty to the employee at the window that I could hear it through the closed window of my car. I rolled the window down to hear the woman yelling profanities at the young woman working. She asked for the manager, and instead of allowing them to remake the food (even though I’d bet money they didn’t mess it up in the first place - I’ve never gotten an order made wrong at this location), she took the bag and continued cussing out the employee and manager. The employees were doing the best they could to deal with this woman, who was being absolutely obscene. I’ll be honest, I honked to get her to stop yelling and out of the drive thru. Either she needed to go inside or call corporate if the issue was so serious.
When I got to the window, the employees were clearly shocked, but had handled the situation with grace. Not only was my food already ready and bagged even though this had been going on, they greeted me with warm smiles. For someone who worked in food service, I understand how they must have been feeling. But 10/10 ladies, I will always come back here after getting quality food, service, and seeing you handle the nasty people out there with such class!!“

“Another great meal at Casa Balbina last evening. Im in love with the tostada & tamale…..perfectly made. However, this trip we stopped into the sweet shop, WOW best ice cream in town….“

“EXCELLENT food, reasonably priced. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. We will be coming back to try other menu options!“

“Not sure if they're affiliated, but we had eaten at the Schererville location and liked it so we' thought we'd try the Merrillville location this time around. Really love the decor inside and out, as well as the atmosphere. We were greeted warmly by a gentleman who may have been a manager? Seated right away. This was at 5:30 on a Saturday and not very crowded so that was nice. Our waiter took a bit of time to greet us, but once we ordered our drinks they came fairly quickly. Not so much with the food. Mexican restaurants are notoriously quick when it comes to delivering your food right away so I was actually okay with having a bit of extra time before eating. That said everything was slow thereafter. I was out of water and never got a refill. Took a minute for the waiter check in after we finished our food. Needed boxes and again, after delivering therm, he was MIA. Finally got the check.

All of the employees were friendly and professional, I just felt like the waiter could have been a bit more attentive.

Food was good (nacho fajitas and tacos) and i would definitely consider returning.“

“Tacos were delicious. Did carryout and was quick! Will be back!“

“We had our sons graduation party catered by Tocayos and it was a huge hit! Amazing food and service. Would totally recommend them for your next party or dining in! The owner Miguel was so great to work with and made the process super easy. Loved it!“

“supporting latinos because latinos make america great 😘😘“

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

“era la primera vez que asistímos a tomar un almuerzo y la comida no fue la mejor elección tenía un sabor poco agradable como que se estaba descomponiendo“

“i’ve been here five minutes and i’ve already fallen in love with the food. i have chips, they’re good! dolls are lowk creepy when you first walk in, but the wonderful service makes up for it! i’ve been told their margaritas are delightful .. i would not know i’m sober.
shoutout to our server kate, she handled a big party terrifically!!! 10/10, no complaints.“

“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!“

“Service and food were both fabulous.“

“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.“

“Great customer service and the food is amazing!“

“Food is always fantastic, hot and fast! The Karla tacos and Karla quesadilla are my favorite menu items. Have never been disappointed! Keep up the good work.“

“Very warm place to eat and enjoy 😊“

“Had my birthday dinner there, called in a reservation a few days before and everything was set up on arrival. They were even able to store my cake until the table was ready for it. Great food and drinks. Everyone who helped serve our table was so kind they were on top of it!“

“We absolutely love their food. We usually get take out but the few times we have went in with our littles the staff was extremely friendly and caring. They always give all the kids a candy. It’s so nice to bring your little kids somewhere and not feel like a bother!“

“The food is great. It is my go-to place for Mexican food. It's very hard to find good Mexican food near my home. Now, the young lady who takes the orders always has an attitude, for some reason, regardless of how nice and polite I am to her. I do wonder how that impacts their business.“

“I want to give a special thank-you to Ruby, the manager at El Capitan Mexican Restaurant, for her exceptional help in making my friend’s day so memorable. She went out of her way to accommodate us with special seating arrangements — and made sure everything was perfect for us!! Her kindness and flexibility truly stood out!

The service overall wasn’t the best that day, as they were unusually short-staffed, which made things move a little slower. Still, the food was good as usual, and Ruby’s genuine care and extra effort really made the overall experience positive as we all had a great time! Just wish mariachis sang longer!! Always nice hearing them !!
We are regulars here and I highly recommend El Capitan and look forward to coming back!“

“Came in to place a togo order. I told the lady at the front that it was my first time there and I'll be a minute to decide. She showed me 2 signs where they had specials and told me to take my time. I ordered the 3 Karla tacos special, the small rice & beans mix, and the cup elote. The rice was a bit on the dry side but the beans had great flavor. Elote was very flavorful with a nice and subtle spice. Tacos were pretty good. I'll definitely have to come back to dine in and try some more menu items out!“

“Was headed to my favorite Taco place and a friend suggested this place instead based of their burrito that “HUGE” and let me tell you, I was bummed with the change of plans but I was not disappointed!
The had adequate seating, comfortable ambience, CLEAN tables, and fast service. He got the “named burrito” (just forgot the guys name) and a small cheese fry, and I got the gyro sandwich. Mine was H•U•G•E and his was massive. I plan on returning and trying their tacos. They have specials, Tuedays is $2 tacos at time being. I highly recommend if you’re looking for this type of food. I’ll be back for sure.“
