Restaurantji's Kenosha picks for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“Went after enjoying the eclipse. About 230 pm it was happy hour. 5$ margaritas 6# fried ice cream which was enough for all 4 of us and delicious! Accepted my service animal. Wonderful service food and atmosphere! Highly recommend. A lil pricey but worth it!“
“How did I never hear about this place?!!!!! I work out at Planet Fitness in Kenosha and happened to just want breakfast that wasn’t McDonald’s and google maps took me here.Let me start by saying the parking is a little tricky but when your restaurant is on basically the busiest street in Kenosha it’s expected. I walked in and was immediately welcomed by the hostess/server, Mable. She could tell it was my first time walking into there and she was so kind and helpful and surprisingly energetic and friendly for it being in the morning.I got the cheese omelette and the full biscuits and gravy. I ordered too much but honestly for the low price I thought it would be small portions. See photos below- that is a ton of sausage gravy and I love that. For $15 I had enough to feed two people! What a great deal. And then I find out they also make Mexican food there in addition to awesome breakfast! This is gonna be my new favorite spot as I love Mexican food and I love breakfast!And the service is amazing. Mable knew her guests by name and she was able to tell me the story of how they’ve been in Kenosha for over 30 years? I’ve been in Kenosha for just about 25 years and I never seen or heard of this place. But I already told my mother about it and I’m gonna bring my kids here when they visit. Such a warm and welcoming environment. I’m really surprised they weren’t busier but it’s Tuesday- ooh by the way they have Tuesday Taco specials. I can’t say enough about the breakfast I’m currently enjoying and I can’t wait to try more of their food. At these prices I could definitely make this a weekly destination, maybe even twice a week? We’ll see.Anyone reading this give them a shot. It will totally be worth it. They’re a little tricky to get to, your best bet is to take Pershing to 41st Ave to avoid the 75th st and 39th Ave nightmare. But it’s totally worth the trip. This was definitely a happy accident that I found this place: great food, great service, and close to home! Perfect combo. I can’t say enough that everyone should try this place!“
“Fantastic taqueria type restaurant inside a gas station. You are able to order ahead by calling. I tried the gyro and steak taco. Gyro was ok (I think my mind was missing the yogurt sauce), but the steak was awesome. Surprisingly a WI establishment can make a Chicago Dog... Lol. It was good.“
“Best tacos! Everything is so good. Employees are very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious, and you can get ice cream treats and drinks as well.The atmosphere is so cheerful and cozy.Pay is cash only but there is an ATM at the bank nearby. Prices are great, you get good value for your money.“
“My family and I had a private party here and it was exceptional! Food, drinks, and service was top notch. We highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about hosting a party, or just having lunch/dinner here. I can say with confidence that we will be back again!“
“I love the food here. It's way better than any of these taco trucks trying to pull off good food. This the only place I will get food from! Absolutely delicious. Not over priced at all.Vegetarian options: I get the taco dinner that's vegetarian and it's delicious!“
“AMAZING!!! I have been having a HARD time finding a good flavorful Mexican restaurant in Kenosha (especially coming from Waukegan where there are good Mexican spots everywhere) and I was soooo impressed here! Flavorful food and their spicy red hot sauce is bomb!! Highly highly recommend 10/10!Customer service 10/10 they were all so sweet inside as well! Very family oriented (: let’s support this local business!“
“Great little taco truck! I had seen the truck for a while and decided to stop one day. I'm far from disappointed. The tacos were delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly. I ordered a rather large order. 10 beef tacos and 10 chicken. Lets just say they didn't all make it home. When I can I enjoy helping small businesses. The 2 employees I met seemed young and hard working. Do yourself a favor and stop in, you won't regret it.“
“This was my first time visiting this establishment. I am pleasantly surprised. This is a hidden gem! The food is great and the leftovers taste even better. The portion sizes are large enough for two people. Next time we're sharing. The ceviche is amazing, I just wish they gave seconds (lol).Parking: There is parking in front of the restaurant and on the side of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids' section on the menu.Wheelchair accessibility: There's only one level making it easy for those in a wheelchair to enter in.“
“The employee's are very nice. Made a mistake on my order and fixed it within a minute. I love this place! Better than any other texmex place I've been in Kenosha. Tacos and chicken enchiladas are my favorites and burritos are great also.“
“It's nice to be here eating, enjoying a good beer and listening to the beautiful Latin melodies.Being here makes me feel at home and in my country.The attention is excellent. Thank youParking: Easy to get to and it is very pleasant to be here in this place.“
“I can only review the food, I had a to go order Chile's rellenos.The flavor of the chiles the sauce the rice and beans all so good.All tasted fresh, rice and beans also good, the salsa Verde was HOT, HOT, HOT.All soo good, I'll be a repeat “
“This place definitely deserves a 5 star. They are very consistent. Always open & The food is always good. My families favorites are the tacos and fish dinners. They never mess up on orders and they are extremely patient, even when they get rude customers. Definitely a super positive and great small business in our community. I also love the improvements they've made to the location recently and I will happily continue to support them.“
“Love this place, it's delicious and they are so friendly! We recently did 1 steak burrito with 4 shrimp tacos to share for 2 people, Mexican surf n turf, it was yummy and the perfect amount of food! We order for pickup frequently and they have not made a mistake on an order!!“
“I have been coming to Tacos El Norte for decades now. Started at the Waukegan location, then the McHenry location, Kenosha location, and Gurnee. I ALWAYS know my order will be right and the food will be amazing, and the service is outstanding. Even with the new ownership the food is still great and the service is still exceptional. I'm so glad someone stepped up and didnt let this restaurant die. Thank for that!!!!“
“We love having lunch here! I am a huge fan of their guacamole and fajitas. The service is always top notch. We have used Los Compadres for catering events as well. Everything came packaged perfectly, warm and ready to serve. Highly recommended.“
“Had the pastor and chile relleno burritos and they were definitely the best burritos I have had in my life. The price is solid.One of those small places that should be well known and get a lot of traffic. Go check it out. The family was very kind and helpful!Local people patronizing local places.“
“Excellent crunchwrap. Definitely get the dipping sauce, consumme. My son loved the birria ramen. I don't eat meat. So they subbed rice for me on my wrap and it was fantastic. Will be back. My son said he is going back tomorrow!! Thank you for giving Kenosha an amazing choice for mexican food, finally!!❤“
