This tiny restaurant is always busy or about to be. It is a favorite of locals and travellers alike. Authentic flavor, friendly family owned service, and cute homey decor set the mood for a fantastic dining experience every time you visit Northwest Indiana.
7. Maria's Buena Cocina
Reviewed By 784sheryld
There has not been a time that I went to Marias and not been greeted as soon as I walk in the door. Not to mention quick service and the food is always delicious!! It's kind of hidden away so most people don't see this restaurant. But when u find it, it's definitely a hidden treasure!!!
6. Jalapenos' The Hottest Mexican

Reviewed By dkennedy1949
The Chips were great, the the salsa a little hot for mild mannered gringos, but great for us experienced fire eaters. The fajitas were more than plentiful & very tasty, the seafood enchiladas were very very good, the beef chimichanga was amazing- the picadilla beef had the perfect seasoning to make this a tasty meal.
5. Asada Grill and Cantina
Reviewed By Tony C
Chips and salsa to start was excellent. The tacos were a little bit different than the "standard" Mexican fare but they were certainly delicious. Good food and good service make Asada an outstanding dining choice.

Second La Caretta in area, one also in Merrillville, IN
Reviewed By MrWarrenM
With no plan in mind, we happened to be in the neighborhood of La Carreta Restaurant and Bar in Schererville, Indiana and decided to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo holiday with an early dinner. Since it was after lunchtime and before the dinner hour, the restaurant was not that busy for a holiday. While perusing the menu, we ordered a couple of Margaritas to go along with the house provided Salsa and Nachos. The Margaritas were big, delicious, and potent. As for the Salsa and Nachos, they were clearly homemade. Better than we expected! This seems to be a place people go for drinks late at night, but our food and the service that we received was extremely good. We selected the La Carreta Sampler which was made up of a bountiful platter of a fried Beef Burrito, fried Chicken Burrito, and a Chicken Quesadilla. To complete this masterpiece, it also had a hefty number of toasted Nachos, Sour Cream, and loose Meat. Plenty to share with your amigos for $12.99. I followed that masterpiece with a Taco Loco. You pick three of your favorite Tacos. Choose one of each or mix and match, Carne Asada, Carnitas or Chorizo. Served with Lettuce, Tomato, shredded Cheese, Rice, and Beans for $9.99. The inside was nicely decorated with both booths, tables and chairs. So, this is a pretty nice place to go. Especially considering how crappy the strip mall it's in has become. Their location is along side of U.S. Highway 41 North with plenty of free off-street parking.

3. Pepe's Mexican Restaurant
Reviewed By tenabeana
I haven't been to a Pepe's in a long time and I definitely won't be going back to this one. Our chips were HORRIBLE. I didn't even know tortilla chips could be anything other than stale but these chips actually tasted awful. They apparently had an issue with the tap on the beer (which came with our lunch) and that was horrible. The rice and beans were literally 4 bites and even my 7 year old was still hungry. My taco had more onions than meat. I didn't even eat it. To be fair, which is why they got a 2 rating instead of 2 is because one meal was taken off the bill. Chips and salsa make the restaurant if you ask me and if I could have left after one bite I would have!

2. Mi Tierra
Located inside the Griffith Airport
Reviewed By KimberlyS4
I no longer go to Mi Tierra. After a couple of visits, including a large family group, I found the food to be below-par and portions were steadily shrinking. Seafood dishes were more than a tad shy on actual seafood; burrito was dry and doughy. I can get better Mexican food if I drive 10 minutes, and I shall.

Reviewed By dennisfan
I went there after hearing from family about how delicious this place is. The steak was horribly over-cooked and dry. Based on my experience, I would be hesitant to go back. The service was fine. The ambiance at their new location on 45th St is very nice, but those carne asada tacos were ATROCIOUS.
