Putting Adrians on the map here! The food is really good. They have fried tacos which are so delicious!! Their Sopes are full of meat and just really good. Everything is good!! That said, a lot of people don't know about Adrians because it doesn't stand out. It's a smallish pinkish building that's right off of Indianapolis Blvd in East Chicago, In. You will not be disappointed!

Was not satisfied with their pizza or chicken. I remember when this was one of my favorite pizza establishments since the first one by Commercial Ave was open. I tried both places in South Chicago and Calumet City; and dissatisfied with both.

It's like any other taco bell, it depends on the preparers and the service you get from the employees. The one at the corner of 15nd street and Torrence Street in Calumet City has great employees

The food was okay. But, If you're looking for a good, authentic Mexican dish you might want to skip the restaurant. I rarely give a bad review but this is not authentic Mexican.If you're looking for a local, fun place to dance however, this place was great!!! The DJ's were able to pick up on what the crowd wanted and they switched the music up accordingly. The dance floor is small, but the room can be opened up for parties. The crowd was mixed although there weren't too many couples. The drinks are good and affordable. I will definitely go back for drinks and dancing!

The food is good here and the service is pretty quick. It's a tasty restaurant to have a quick lunch away from work.

Stopped to get dinner and decided on El Mariachi and we were not disappointed. Tried tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas and mango margaritas. Yes a sampling feast! Service was quick and everything was tasty. Prices were moderate along with portions. They even served the lunch menu during the evening (this a plus and allowed for more sampling). When all had been tasted and we were stuffed, the bill was less than $40 and we had a nice serving of leftovers. We will be back!

When we arrived at Chilis we were served by Johnetta the most passionate waitress we have ever met. She had the biggest smile and was so jolly and cheerful that everyone could tell she loved her job. She knew the menu inside out and gave great recommendations. She set the tone for us to have a great time and a wonderful meal. I had a perfectly cooked ribeye steak and my friends had Tilapia and Salmon. The loaded mashed potatoes were awesome and the broccoli was really fresh. Johnetta was extremely attentive during our meal. For the first time ever at Chilis, we did not come home with a doggy bag. Our food was so delicious, we ate it ALL including the Molten Cake. After eating, Johnetta quickly cleaned the table. We were so relaxed and full that we really hated to leave. I can't wait to go back and when I do I am going to insist I have Johnetta for my waitress. Great Job Johnetta!!! And Kudos to the cooking staff.

A get together of friends and family. Good chips, guacamole, and salsa. Everybody enjoyed their margaritas. I haven't been here in almost 20 years and the place is still the same. Casual and quaint. Our dinners ranged from burrito suizo, enchiladas, combos and tacos. Food was good and everybody enjoyed the evening. The owner stopped by our table and he was very friendly. I would give Don Pedro's a 3 1/2 star

We ordered a variety of food for a work lunch. Everything was outstanding. I mean everything was outstanding. Beef and chicken were both moist and tender. The chorizo was great. All of the vegetables were great. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant

El Taco Real

Reviewed By D_a_geebs

In my opinion, it's just not as good as the old days... the food is still good but... not THE BEST!! The taste is good and better than more commercialized places... portions are in the same range as other places... prices are slightly elevated but not too bad. Drinks are good and decently made. In all, still a good place but not deserving of the rave reviews it had once deserved.
