10. Chipotle Mexican Grill
Reviewed By GrayKitten
We've visited this Chipotle a few times since my original visit, and they have slowly but surely improved. I'm glad to say that they no longer have issues with being out of multiple different items at once, although there are still some logistics issues going on.I can't honestly remember a time when they were not scrambling to try to fill one of the containers of meats or toppings, and we've still had to wait on meat, though they are certainly better about getting enough to serve customers before worrying about filling the metal containers. They have improved in their serving sizes as well, and we haven't felt jipped at all. Sometimes the meats can be a little overcooked, though, or have grizzle bits that would have been better to trim off. I don't seem to experience this at other Chipotle locations. All in all, there has been a lot of improvement at this location, though they still need to work on figuring out supply issues.
9. Pepe's Express Mexican Restaurant
Reviewed By gms58
I live within walking distance of Pepe's Restaurant and have never had a bad experience having been there dozens of times. The food is always well prepared, hot and well presented by very courteous staff. We see the same faces (staff) there all of the time and besides the delicious fare, we also enjoy the friendly conversation with everybody working there. If you like your food spicey or mild, either way, they aim to please. Full bar service as well, great Margaritas. Clean restaurant and clean restrooms. It's a no-brainer, go there and see!

This is my FAV mexican. I found it through an old friend, and anytime I'm passing through the south side, Midway, or heading down 57S, I go out of my way to come here. Get anything, but steak tacos are my fav. You can have two people eat a full meal here for $10! Great value and wishing for them to come to the north side. Always busy. Great service, very polite and keep it clean.
7. Mario's Tacos

My wife and I usually don't dine at ethnic or sushi restaurants. Cajun isn't in my culinary vocabulary. Mexican restaurants usually offer too much salsa or jalapeno or guacamole. But we made an exception recently when my sister, who will eat anything at any time at any place, recommended Mario's Tacos in our hometown of Blue Island, Illinois, one of Chicago's south suburbs. Located at 13325 Olde Western Avenue, one block west of South Western Avenue on the south side of the bridge that spans the Cal-Sag Canal, Mario's is housed in a historic building. Mario Mendez opened his restaurant in 1990, with an outside dining patio garden with cafe tables and nighttime twinkling lights. No neon beer signs in the windows or TV screens in the dining rooms. It's a family-friendly restaurant that emphasizes tacos, tostadas, enchiladas and quesadillas, chorizo and eggs, home-made guacamole and refried beans. Beer, wine and blended drinks such as pina coladas, margaritas and daiquiris are very popular. Two of the best sellers are the enchilada platter and the carne asada con rajas. So what did we have? I ordered Coctel De Canarones (shrimp cocktail), Caldo De Res (beef with rice and vegetables soup) and Tampiquena (steak with rice, beans, salad and one enchilada, no guacamole please). My wife opted for Caldo De Pollo (chicken soup with rice and vegetables) and the taco dinner (three tacos--steak, chicken and steamed beef--served with rice and beans). For dessert, we shared a big plate of flan, or Mexican custard, which is as light and delicious as any dessert you can imagine. We are a pair of retired 77-year-olds who realize you are never too old to try something different. Please give me another order of flan.
6. LaFiesta Azteca
Reviewed By jbrenz
It is absolutely horrible! My brother and I went in on a Friday evening and I should've known since there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. The chips were excellent and the salsa was OK. That was it. We had chicken/steak fajitas and then got ala carte items of a steak taco, chicken enchilada, tamale, and a flauta. The chicken/steak fajitas were OK, but there were like 3 pieces of each, chicken and steak...not even enough for 1 person. The tamale was OK, too, but the chicken in the enchilada and flauta was terrible. However, it wasn't the worst thing we ate that night...the steak in the steak taco was disgusting. It tasted like it had sat on a counter for a month without refrigeration or it was road kill. The best part of it was, our server came by and asked if we needed a box for the taco. I told her that it was not good, the steak tasted spoiled, and it was horrible. She said, OK and went and got the bill. Really? OK? I thought that maybe she would've taken the horrible tasting taco off the bill, but nope...it was on there. And her response to a horrible dinner was OK. We wasted our money on this restaurant. You've been warned...it is horrible Mexican food. Not authentic, horrible quality, and people that don't care if you liked it or not. Awful.

My kids like this place since we howl like coyotes when we get there. It average Mexican fare. Average prices. The owner seems to be nice. We enjoy it because our kids do. They have a salsa bar and that is cool.

4. Burrito Alegre
Reviewed By elliottq
Don't let the exterior put you off. Do notice all the incredible plants in the window and the awesome plant around the counter. It's tiny with only about 8 tables and a limited menu with the standard Mexican fare of burritos and tacos. The staff was friendly the service prompt and the food was tasty. The tortilla on the burrito was grilled or toasted slightly and had a quite interesting flavor. I would've preferred actual black beans instead of refried beans in the burrito but it was still quite pleasant. The tacos are available in corn or flour tortillas. It's worth visit.

This is an odd place. We've been here several time and never have the same experience. Service has been great, terrible, slow, fast and sometime akward. Some of the food like the salsa, vegetarian enchiladas and carne asada are excellent but other things have just been average. I would not recommend getting anything from the bar that doesn't come from a bottle. The sangria was horrible an so was a daiquiri. This place is close to home so we continue to go here once in a while for those very good food items.

Stayed in the area just found this on TripAdvisor so figured we would try it. Food was good, burrito was pretty big. Has its own take on authentic, from Texas so hard to beat tex-mex. Overall a good place would return.
