The carne asada was perfectly delicious! Mom’s ‘regular house margarita’ was fabulous and, frankly, I thought the server made a mistake & brought her the ‘Super size house margarita’ because it was quite large, not that mom complained, lol! Everyone was very satisfied with their meal, the ambiance, the Mexican music, and excellent service. We’ll definitely return (hopefully soon!)
Its a cute little spot, and the servers were all very kind. The food was also very good! Definitely get the steak enchiladas 😋
Very good food. I wish I had know about this place sooner. Chip and salsa on the table is hot so we warned but still very good. I had the chicken enchiladas.
The colorful Mexican decor boosts your spirit as soon as you are in. Food is good . Tried the tamale, fajitas and flan. All tasted good and authentic.Owner was very friendly as well. Will definitely go back.
One of the only places I can find with white cheese dip. This is a staple in Kansas and Oklahoma and I was shocked to see it wasn’t in every Mexican restaurant in Chicagoland. This place is a safe haven when needing this now scarce commodity.
Excellent, excellent food at a family owned restaurant. The food is always good and I always look forward to eating here. Some of the best Mexican food in the Chicagoland area.
The food was fresh and the service was great the waitress was very attentive to our table check on us about every 10-12 minutes and we sat there for about 3.5 hours till closing
Excellent food even for vegetarians. Their single order of Fajitas was sufficient for 3 normal eaters and we ordered an extra player of rice and beans. Do not forget to ask them about habanero salsa if you are a true spice lover. Their fried ice cream was so - so but was looking super delicious. Ask about their interiors and they look a perfect spot to have mouth watering food with family. Got lots of dining space and an excellent bar setup 👌
Great services and price is very reasonable. The serving is massive but also tasty. Having dinner with a few friends there and its a excellent place. Very authentic Mexican cuisine.
So gar the best Mexican Restaurant I have found in the area. Good service and very good food. The have a large menu which also contains many offers that you will not find at other restaurants.
Great Mexican restaurant. Their salsa can be spotty in terms of runniness & spiciness, but their dishes are absolute bangers. They provide the salsa on order, while giving a choice of flour/corn tortillas.Not all dishes will have that freely available however. I had a chicken enchilada deluxe in the photo, topped with beans, rice, greens, and a dallop of guac with some sour cream.Do come early! Their service speed really dips when youre late, and you could be waiting anywhere between 30 minutes - 1 hour for service.
The best pico de gallo. Beef and chicken tacos are over flowing with meat. Go for the spicy salsa to go with your chips. Staff is really helpful and accommodating.
Always enjoy this place. At times a bit understaffed but I understand everyone is in that position. I have it 4 stars because I feel some of the menu items are over priced. Ordered mi Mexico taco dinner and it was 21.00. For 3 tacos and rice I feel that is a lot of money.
Very excellent experience. I couldnt have been happier with the food and the customer service. Great place to eat. Definitely going back.
Not for the faint hearted, authentic Mexican food, music and drinks.Perfect place for a romantic date or just relax.Great staff. Awsome deco.
Always a good experience at Mi Mexico. Free onsite parking. Great food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Go outside of normal dinning hours to avoid a crowd.
1st time trying this place out, came out here around 1pm on a tuesday, and it was quiet time around here. The staff was friendly, and made us feel very welcoming. I had the chicken burrito lunch, which included rice, cole slaw and it was very good.
Food had no flavor and was over priced. The bartender was extremly rude. Taco bell has better tacos than this place.
Cute, casual restaurant. Large portions, good service.
Soooo delicious. Great service and ambiance, as well. I highly recommend this place!
Great variety and tasty standards. We will be back. Revised- still great, big menu so we will have to keep coming back.
This place was great! The servers were really nice, the enforced the mask rules (always appreciated!), and the food was good. I had the lunch chili rellenos and it was very tasty and not too expensive. The queso was a nice change! Not too many mexican places around have the queso dip, so that was a nice surprise as well. The margarita was also very nice :)
Great tasting food and drinks. They need better drink special prices and more options. Lunch price ended at 1:30. We arrived inside at 1:38 so though we were initially upset, we enjoyed the food so much and it was our fault we were late so we forgot about it. Tacos chicken quesadillas, nachos. Delicious!!
Ive eaten here a LOT. Ive tried at least 75% of the things on their menu and have never been disappointed. Family owned and operated.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service. The food is amazing and delicious. They can make it the way you want. If you like spicy, they make it spicy. If you like mild, they make it mild. The servers are always friendly and on top of everything. As soon as you sit down they bring chips and salsa and take your drink order. Then after you order it doesnt take long for the food to come in a hot plate ready to eat. Portions are big and enough to feed you. Very reasonable prices on the food with an average of $10-$18 per plate.
Expensive and small amount of food. Not the Mexican food Im use to.
Ordered a chicken burrito dinner, came with chips, salsa, rice and beans. Every item was delish! They have a great margaritas and a nice indoor dining area. Always satisfied with the food here!
Great environment. Great prices. Bomb food. Delicious micheladas!
I am vegetarian and the food served was great.
Great place for some great Mexican food!! Went there with my girlfriend for a little date and she and I loved it. Food is super well priced, was prepared in perfect time and taste was delicious. Definitely recommend if you are passing by!
Excellent food and service. We had our company holiday party and they accommodated us perfectly.
Great food and service! The sever was courteous. The food we ordered was hot (very important for us) and delicious. We came in here as Plan B after we were ignored for 20 minutes at a nearby Korean restaurant. The experience here was total opposite. We enjoyed having dinner here. They made every experiences last night worthwhile.
Love to visit this restaurant for the tortilla soup and their margaritas, they also have a very good service
The food was great. It was tasty and hot and the portions were generous. The prices were very much in line with the food that you received. The order was accurate the service was a little bit on the slow side. Seems like our server was a little bit distracted and she didnt check in with us for extended periods from time to time and we did have to flag her down. That being said she was responsive to getting things that we ordered except when someone requested water and I would say that she wasnt extremely friendly, but cordial.
My first time at Mi Mexico! I ordered ground beef enchiladas suizas. The enchiladas were juicy and flavorful! The rice and beans are authentic! My husband and I enjoyed the food and the decor; it feels like home, Mi Mexico 🇲🇽 😋 🤤😃👌
Kind of rude manager (I think the woman who seat people). The food is alright only the rude stuff and the aggressive glances and staring
Wonderful food & atmosphere !! Enjoyed dining outside w/cool temps & Sunshine ! 8 of us enjoyed Margaritas, good chips / salsa , nachos w/Chicken!! Chile Relleno, Chicken enchiladas w/Mole sauce!! Calmarones de crema, Chimechanga, Carbona de crema & Calmarones de salsa !! Huge proportions & took home 1/2 :) Lunch Specials under $12 each !! Staff was extremely Friendly & promp. Highly recommended! !!
Been eating at this restaurant since theyve opened. Great food, nice atmosphere, the owners are wonderful people and I pray more people get out and support them.
This place is certainly one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. Always when I come there I am extremely glad. They keep their very high standard service and the topmost level of dishes they offer. You are always happy with this restaurant. Very recommended.
Fav Mexican restaurant. Always make you feel welcome and the authentic recipes and preparation is #1 in my opinion. Went there for a b-day celebration and they were fantastic! You wont be disappointed.
Very good food, and a good atmosphere. They had a good live band one night I went there too. Always pretty good service and kid friendly. The veggie fajitas are wonderful.Only downside is that I wish the margs were a little stronger!
Great atmosphere and really good food too. This was my first time here. Im going back and bringing more people with me!The selections on the menu are plentiful and reasonably priced. I had a shrimp enchilada and the both of them were stuffed from end to end with shrimp. They werent stingy at all with the fillings or sauces.There was also a pretty impressive tequila menu as well. Im a bit of a tequila aficionado. I tried an Extra Anejo our waiter suggested that I had not tried before and was impressed.Overall, Id definitely recommend this restaurant.
Outdoor dining space was pleasant for lunch, and we were well attended to by courteous wait staff. Large menu selection had a few items I had not encountered before, and generous portions allowed me a full to go box I was looking forward to finishing. I say was looking forward to because my son spotted the box when I got home and likewise found the Pollo Creama excellent, finishing it off before I got close to the fridge.
The atmosphere is amazing. The salsa is the worst part. Very runny and reminds me of ketchup. Wish it were a little more chunky and flavorful. The steak tacos were really good, but a little pricey. My wife had a burrito which was cheaper and looked fantastic. The margarita was pretty good, but Im also not a big tequila drinker so Im not a good judge on that.
If what youre after is large portions of greasy, cheese-covered food that is largely lacking in flavor, look no further.Service was fast and friendly, and the space was comfortable, but my food didnt really do it for me. I like cheese as much as the next person, but my entire plate was smothered in cheese and grease. The portion size was easily enough for two meals, but I passed on my leftovers because it wasnt very good.If you are here and desperate for some flavor and a tiny bit of heat, they do have a different salsa that theyll bring you if you ask for it.
My wife and I are from out of town and went here based on the good reviews. The food and atmosphere were good. I had chili verde and my wife had pastor pork. Both meals were excellent and the service was fast and friendly. They brought so much good food we couldnt eat it all and both left stuffed. We will return next time we are in the area.
We love this place! The arroz con pollo is amazing! The service is terrific! My absolute most favorite dish!
An ABUNDANCE of parking.Two large dining rooms.Delicious and generous entrees! Attentive and friendly servers! Prices that put franchise Mexican restaurants to shame!
The worst mexican food Ive ever had and the service was terrible as well.Update: Ive read your response, still the pandemia and being short staff its not an excuse for bad service and bad food. Thank you for taking the time to respond, you should also take the time to train your employees.
I don’t usually leave 1 star reviews, but I had the worst experience dining at this place with my family. We went in and the staff didn’t even greet us or ask how many we had and just grabbed menus and tried to seat us. The table didn’t even fit how many we had so we let them know and they brought us to a different table. Then they served us the wrong amount of water cups, menus and utensils. I politely asked for the appropriate amount. They seemed annoyed when I asked. Mind you, I’ve worked in the food/hospitality industry for more than 10 years as a kitchen assistant, dish washer, delivery driver, host, food runner, and server so I always do my best to treat them as politely as possible and give at least 18-20% tip minimum. Anyway, they proceeded to just bring back 1 more menu a few minutes later and didn’t bring any of the other stuff I had asked for. When I reminded them they again seemed annoyed and didn’t respond. They finally brought the water and utensils later after one of us had been sitting dehydrated without water for awhile. Then we ordered our food. We waited (no joke) probably close to half an hour for our food. And in the mean time when we asked for water refills (because water was all we had to drink/eat for almost half an hour) they just ignored us and walked past us. At this point I was thoroughly annoyed at how terrible the service was and firmly stopped one of them and asked for a refill on our water. The food ended up being mediocre at best and we had a ton of leftovers. It took us another 10 minutes just to get the check, then another 15 minutes for them to run the card and give us boxes. And I definitely wasn’t surprised when they didn’t even acknowledge us leaving. The male server that served us didn’t have the best attitude and another female server (or busser not sure) was incredibly rude and basically made it a point to ignore us for any help. Suffice it to say, we’ll never be back and I’ll make sure people know about our experience here. It’s really sad because my mom used to like this place. Please train your employees better guys, you guys are turning away good, honest, and well-tipping customers who just want a decent family meal.
Excellent dishes. Very fresh! Reasonable price. Friendly staff. Would definitely eat here again.
This is a very nice and friendly family owned Mexican restaurant.Menu offers a big variety of dishes and appetizers, as well as beer and cocktails.I would definitely recommend to try Original Margarita.All dishes that I tried were very delicious and tasty.Staff is friendly and smiley.On the weekends there are a lot of people, so be prepared to wait a bit.There is a full bar so waiting is a bit easier.For parties of 6 people or more I would recommend reservations.For parties less than 6 people they dont take reservations.Give it a try , youll like it.
Very tasty, but not cheap.
I celebrated my PhD this evening in this great restaurant. Well we passed a wonderful evening and the venue was evidently the reason for the fruitful gathering. The crew collaborated in a sweet manner, the cuisine was tasty and my buddies were very pleased. We shall absolutely visit again for more joyful events. thanks very much.
Cute place, the food is great. Gauc was really good. Chips and salsa were just ok. I had chicken enchilada suiza, and it was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised by thier coleslaw it was tasty! Light and fresh. Different from creamy American coleslaw. Only issue was the service was a little spotty. We were a group of six. There wait staff could have been more attentive to our needs, I was needing a refill on my pop and needed napkins for most of my meal. Waiter hardly came around, we had to ask for him at least 3 times and it wasnt that busy. Other wait staff and workers were passing by, I was trying to get their attention, but it was like they were avoiding looking at us. And when we did get someones attention, they only said hold on and then we had to wait for our waiter again. I would recommend it, but you may be there for a while.
Went for my brothers birthday on a Saturday night. Had live music with a guy singing. Differently enjoy it. The food was huge portions, one dinner plate is enough for 2 people. Ordered chicken mole which I though was good. I would recommend for a higher end Mexican dinner
I call this excellent restaurant from time to time since I like the good air that is outline this restaurant. The team is highly welcoming and skilfull. The service is extraordinarily quick. Most important, the food they serve is magnificent. I frequent more than once and I was always pleased. The pay is modest. I recommend this restaurant to to all.
Great food, I mean really fantastic. I ordered shredded beef enchiladas. And the chips and salsa were so good.. the chips were so warm and fresh. But the service was just no bueno. Our server was polite, but, distracted and slow and forgetful. I asked twice for additional salsa and eventually had to ask another employee. I asked for a box with the check and I didnt get that either. My friend literally went over to their check out area to get me a box 😂. We were on our lunch hour while still at work, so, time was a bit of an important factor. We probably wont be able to go there again during our lunch hour because of how slow they were at every step of the process, bringing water and silverware, taking our drink order, bringing chips and salsa, taking our food order and bringing drinks.. just all of it.. which is unfortunate honestly bc the food was delish. 🌮🌯
I visit this marvelous place many times as I love the good mood that is part of this restaurant. The personel is highly welcoming and skilfull. The service is deeply fast. Needless to say, the food they prepare is highly distinguished. I have been there many times and I was always happy. The expense is decent. I suggest this restaurant to to all.
When we moved to the area we struggled to find a good Mexican restaurant, and we thought Mi Mexico Restaurant was our answer. The food was great, and the services was good. However, we will never step foot in that restaurant again I and encourage others to save your money. The manager is awful. My wife and I would order and the manager would not allow the kitchen staff to make the food as we had ordered it. Three out of four times they messed up my wife’s order, due to the manager who changed the order. We would have paid the extra money for what we wanted, but she interfered between the waiters and the kitchen staff. The last time we called ahead, and they changed our order. I asked her to make it right, and she was incredibly rude and would not make it right. We were spending a lot of money at this restaurant and we loved the food, but this manager has ensured that myself, my family, or our friends will never step foot in the restaurant.
Only coke product is in a 12 oz bottle for 2.50 each steak tacos are 4 bucks a piece and there is not a lot of meat ! I used the tomato sauce that came with the chips because the hot sauce for the tacos was Not good so my only compliment is the steak was good .
Really good place nice people good atmosphere definitely like coming here
Is this the best dine-in Mexican restaurant in Lake County? Quite plausibly, YES! This is a restaurant I would happily return to. The only problem is it can get very busy and service may suffer as a result, but that is a side effect of increasing popularity. I recommend their enchiladas. Enjoy!
Walking in you get the feeling that this place was once just a house in Wheeling. But the atmosphere of the place is great and wonderfully decorated. Moreover its the most authentic sitdown Mexican food Ive had in the area. The Mole was top notch. The chili rellenos my wife got was legit too.
Been here five times and for special events and always wonderful service,food, environment, definitely recommend if you want authentic food and a great environment.
I ordered a soup and found a piece of plastic in it. I told the waiter and he said that it was normal for plastic to be in the soup because of the chicken. I also got no apologies. The waiter was also very rude. I was asking for the manager and I saw her at the place and knew she was there, but the waiter said she wasnt there. I was always a client at that restaurant for many years but now I will never go back. The restaurant changed completely in a negative way. Very disappointed.
Traditional Mexican music over the speakers was a nice touch. Decor is a bit flamboyant but charmingly so. Pork burrito was very meaty. They noticed we were going through the medium salsa quickly so they brought us more plus a bowl of the spicy. Good food, enjoyable atmosphere.
I honestly dont understand how this place has so many high reviews. Went there for lunch today because my husband and I were looking for a good, local Mexican place. This was NOT it. The prices are outrageous for the low food quality. We ordered Camarones Huachil as an appetizer. A pound of frozen shrimp, thawed and served on bland vegetables. Definitely NOT worth the $20 price tag. Couldnt even finish it, and ended up not ordering any entrees at all. Despite the fact that our server was very nice, we will not be coming back.
I highly discourage people from dining at Mi Mexico Restaurant. I have had two terrible experiences involving the wait staff and their policies. First, they refuse to provide separate bills for parties of 6 or more. They wont tell you this beforehand and will just throw a massive bill in front of someone at your table and expect the paying customers to divide up the bill and split up the tax and gratuity. I have never been to an upscale restaurant that refuses to provide individual bills because they are too busy and would rather have customers spending their time to do the work for them. In addition, their staff is unfriendly and borderline rude to customers. The best part is their food is mediocre at best and the wait times are long. Until they improve their customer service and wait staff, I cannot recommend dining at Mi Mexico, even on one of their good days. At best you can expect mediocre food and lackluster service. Your money is better spent at any other Mexican restaurant.
Could be better, way too Americaized. Not authentic Mexican food. Needs more spice to consider good, expensive and not all that great. No friendly staff see to like only white people to be treated with a smile.
Delicious food, very clean, cold beer, friendly staff.
Great variety beyond the tacos and burritos. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were not skimpy. Had shrimp in cream sauce with fresh mushrooms, green peppers, and onions on a bed of rice for $10.95.
Great service and food well worth the price. Its obvious that people really care at this place. They treat ingredients simply but with respect -- just the way I appreciate it. We tried it for lunch, and I would definitely give them a chance soon with dinner.
I was hoping this was going to be good. Unfortunately it was anything but. I ordered the expresso burrito and it was like having soup with a tortilla on top. I make my own picadillo which has a lot of flavor, this burrito has very little. Even adding salt didnt bring it to life. I used to live in the Mecca of amazing Mexican food (Southern California) and this doesnt even come close. It reminds me of Chinese restaurants in NYC that makes Mexican food as well - WHY? This is the first and the last time I will order from here. There are other Mexican restaurants here in the area that can do better.
This was a nice place for a dinner with friends or family. The staff was very friendly. The food was good. The restaurant was clean. The restrooms were clean. However, its a bit odd to enter through the bar and the tables are relatively close together. It was rather busy but it still seemed as though our service was slower than it should have been.
I almost never feel the need to write a negative review but between the overpriced, flavorless and poor customer service here this is the worst my husband and I have ever encountered. Coleslaw was awful. My husband even refused to eat 2 of the 3 tacos he ordered. Hes never done that, I was shocked. I wanted to go here for about a year, needless to say Ill never go back. Go to Jimenez or El Famous about 5 minutes away from here. Only postive is the place looks nice and the rice and beans were decent.
This is a family owned and operated business. And let me tell you they make some tasty food here. Stop in and give them a try you will not be disappointed.Have not had a meal that i did not enjoyUsually get a combination plate or there nachos.
Great food and excellent service easy parking and the restaurant was quite full.
Love this place for group dinners!
Great food— seafood enchiladas are the best. Always friendly service, and wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
Pretty good food which is authentic and not expensive. Prefer it to those nicer Mexican restaurants that really doesnt have as good food.The food feels authentic, tastes good and portions are good size.Nice atmosphere at the restaurant as well
Food was good, we were warned when arriving that service might be slow due to being short on staff. It turned out service was fine.
The place is beautiful. But I ordered fajitas shrimp and they served like 10 small shrimps with a lot of onios , tomatoes and green pepper ,when its supposed to come one pouns of shrimp but it wasnt. I didnt like it the food.
Nice family style Mexican restaurant, the portion of food is decent size. Comfortable environment with good service. They serve free chips and salsa which is a plus. A good place for traditional Mexican food.
Me and my husband love this place. It is an automatic Mexican food. We have invited friends to join us and they love it as well. The food is delicious, the drinks are fantastic, clean place and good service
On a positive side the service and decor was great. The food--huge portions and reasonably priced lacked flavor other than salt. Please modify your recipes to include spice and flavor
Always excellent! We go there often. Great family owned place.with tasty food that is always served piping hot. Best sangria too
Great FOOD, fish tacos were full of bits of grilled fish and topped with slaw. SERVICE was slower than preferred, long waits between orders, drinks and food; to their defense it looked like the place was packed with groups like ours.
We were seated at a very small table for 2 which was part of a larger table with 6 other people, not my idea of a quiet dinner out. I ordered a single, plain cheese chimichanga which was served to me smothered in a lot of guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and tomato and sauce on top. When I complained to our server, she just shrugged, didnt try to rectify the situation. I thought the menu was a little pricey. We wont be back.
Really great Mexican food, the salsa is extremely mild, tastes as if it is just tomato, that is my biggest complaint about the restaurant. Their carne asada/ skirt steak is a must have if you like steak. Tamales are ok, the masa is a little on the thick side and not enough pork. Outside of that everything else was delicious.
Good food and lots to choose from! The staff are all very nice and helpful, especially if youre looking for a menu recommendation. The restrooms are clean and well kept. Very affordable and fun place to meet friends!
Although this place has an incredible drink selection the food is average at best. Flavors are blasé and uninteresting. The food never quite hits the spot. Also the cheese on the enchiladas was way too much and it didnt seem to be the standard Mexican mix type. Felt like a cheddar mix.
This is a fun place. They have a great ambiance in the restaurant with painted chairs and tables as well as your typical Mexican restaurant decorations. Food and service was good as well given it wasnt very busy when we went. Nothing really struck me as amazing about this place, though.
Authentic Mexican Food. Love - Love - Love the hot (spicy salsa)!!! If you like heat...ask for the hot salsa (You wont be disappointed).Great place to grab lunch Mon-Fri. If yu can get there by 11:45ish, youll miss the rush. Awesome lunch specials and theres even a patio for these warm days were having.Friendly staff... fast and efficient service. Everybody wins! :-)
Best carne asada ever! Service is exceptional, weve been coming to this restaurant for ten years and weve never had a bad meal or experience. Food is amazing and so is the staff.
Wish I could give -10 this place is terrible the food is disgusting, it honestly gives a bad name to Mexican’s Cuisine, if you are Latino you know we don’t eat enchiladas with Cheddar cheese or tacos!! All dishes come with a disgusting rice with no flavor and Cole slaw yesss you read it right cole slaw now if you are used to American food this place is right for you! And for the owners, I’m the customer that was given a dish with burnt chorizo I told the waiter he than switched my plate but unfortunately I was already too disgusted, NOT authentic Mexican food like I read other reviews please don’t go by them that was my mistake! Este lugar es para gabachos que no saben cocinar comida auténtica mexicana
Our first time ...arrived at 5:30ish on a Friday.Parking lot full....BUT it was no problem 🤗My husband and I were seated immediately, served quickly and I had the best chicken burrito😏 My huband enjoyed a chicken rice and bean plate that they put together for him to include only what he wanted. Thanks.🙂The server was great😎. I will return👌
Not what I expected. Salsa was bland. I asked if they had any other salsa and that was very hot. I had a chicken burrito, weird taste. Maybe it was just a bad night, but wasnt pleased. And I like Mexican food.
The food was good and seemed to be authentic Mexican. Wait staff was nice and attentive. Prices are reasonable. I will definitely go there again when I am in the area.
Solid Mexican restaurant that will meet all of your expectations. Not amazing but consistently good food, service, and ambiance (over multiple visits and years). Guests sometimes get loud after a couple margaritas but generally you can ecpect pleasant night or lunch out.
Thank you for such a lovely experience! ! Wonderful dining area, friendly staff, delicious food, and wonderful live music!! We are hooked and will be coming back again and again as well as sharing your great restaurant with others!!
I tried the avocado tostado with sour cream with chicken. Very good! The chicken was moist, 3 good size avocados, good refried beans and rice. Had to ask for a box for leftovers!
I ordered the Filete Culichi, fish with Poblano cream sauce. The fish tasted as if I was frozen and at timed hard to cut with fork. The staff can reduce the sauce be 25% with out reducing quality. Rices and beans were rice and beans; same as you get at any other Mexican-themed restaurant. I do not accept being in the upper part of the country as a reason to not serve authentic mexican dishes.
Good food.. the hotel interior looks very old. It lacks freshness. Service is average. All the staff is Mexicans. So you really feel like being in Mexico and enjoying the food. Perfect!! Just that they need to work on interior a bit.
Keep looking, the food was bland. The tacos al pastor were just meat in a corn tortilla and the meat was not very flavorful. The menu is huge so there may be some good meals but I wont be back.
Good Mexican food. Portions are large. A small combination with only 2 enchiladas, rice and beans was too large to finish. I could not imagine getting a large combination plate. Cheese enchilada was the best. Chicken enchilada was full of shredded white meat.
Very authentic food! Weve never been disappointed with the food or the service. This place does get busy, but they have a lot of tables and a steady crowd so the wait is not too bad. Any wait is well worth it!BTW - their Diablo shrimp is something else! Diablo means DIABLO! Really excellent food all around.
Came here for dinner and drinks. It was very typical Mexican food. We had the fajitas Good not great same with the sangria. I thought it was a little pricey but not bad.
Good mexican food for a reasonable price! Great choice of Tequilla!
Good place for lunch, even larger groups. Quick, tasty and lots of options on the specials. Been here multiple times. Very consistent quality and friendly service.
Great food and friendly service. The food always tastes great and the portions are large. Always a treat to come here.
A very fun little spot! The staff were friendly, and the food was pretty good. I ordered the veggie fajitas and it came out sizzling hot and was pretty yummy.
Food is good, service OK, Management sucked. We will never step foot in this restaurant again as the Management was rude when we questioned a charge on the bill. There are many other Mexican restaurants that you can go to without having to deal with arrogant, rude management!
We visit about once a month. The food is always great and the service is fantastic.
Good Margaritas, however food is mediocre at best. Ive had better Mexican food. Soft taco shells are extremely thin and fall apart when picking them up...
I personally would recommend this restaurant for some good amazing tasty devouring authentic Mexican food!!
Food is good and service not bad but the customer service from the manager is terrible. This guy - GM (the owners son) should not hold this position as he is ruining their name. He has such a bad attitude dealing with customers, I asked for to go cup to take my ice tea with me and he would refuse. I am pregnant, had gastric bypass surgery and cannot drink at the same of eating so I wanted to take this with me as I paid for it. He was so mean and refused giving me one covering with some stupid GM rules. I have been there before and never had problem taking ice tea home with me. He is just this kind of person who wants to have it his way. I will never go there again neither will recommend this place to anyone.
The food is ok. If you like authentic Mexican food then this place is not for you. The prices for the amount of food you get are too high. The quality of the food is good but its definitely not very authentic dishes. Drinks are also ok but a little too expensive as well.
Beautifull restaurant, just not mexican flavor.Al pastor tacos had no flavor and our burritos were stuffed with rice and bean. Hardly any carne asada.We all agreed that it has no mexican flavor.Att. Hector, gabriel, amado, rafael and me
When I visit my family in Northbrook Illinois oh, this is an absolute necessity to go to. The dacor, service Kama food starting with the salsa and chips and then the meal and the delicious flavors are an absolute must every time I visit.
Not the best mexican food for the price. Havent been to a mexican restaurant that doesnt serve horchata.
We had a very nice experience at this place and have gone multiple times! It is a great place and the food is always great! I recommend going and trying it out!
Visited this restaurant with entire family.Margaritas - superbbeer selection: great, mostly mexican beers, including draftsShrimp burrito was very tasty.what else i liked there:musicians were singing spanish songs making superb accords - really professionalguacamoles served: three levels os three dishes: spicy, medium and lightMy kids vere happy, my mother in law liked margaritas, everybody was happy.
Awesome... not sure what else to say... Everything from the burritos and sides and tequila and atmosphere and service to pricing and speedy waiters... You guys nailed it! -
The food here was DELICIOUS!!! The best authentic Mexican food Ive had in...a long time. The place is clean and had great Mexican decore. Definitely coming here again, even though Im about an hour away.
It was my daughters birthday and we had donde and he was an excellent waiter, great atmosphere, and attitude. We will eat there again. Thank all of you.
Best burrito i ever had & excellent service❤
Some of the best Mexican food in Chicago! Everything is authentic! Ground beef chalupa, tacos, and tostadas are incredible! Tortilla soup warms my soul! Salsas made from scratch! Tamales come in a corn husk!
I love coming here on Cinco de Mayo for the live mariachi and the margaritas!!!! Ive never had a bad meal here. The food is always good. The service is great!
This place is highly recommended!! Food is excellent and the service is good. Been there three times and no complaints....fried ice cream is outstanding !! Enjoy 😁
Always excellent food and service!May 2020, they did a great job with the curbside pickup; family dinner was ready in 15 minutes as promised.
The food is good..but these people are always in rush for closing. Happen to me 2 times where, I went there, and they said they r closed before their closing time. Specially the owners rude a** son. Never happy to see customers. So we dont go there..to stay aways frm his being there at work tantrums.
I have been there about 10 times. The staff is Nice. The food is very good. Not awesome but very good. Occadionsly, they are under staffed but I pretty good place in General. On a scale of 5. 4-4.5
Amazing Mexican food and awesome atmosphere. The inside is beautifully done and the service is great. They also have a great lunch menu with lots of choices. Great place to go for lunch.
This place was absolutely delicious. . The food was great, their not cheap with food portion..you get what you pay for., friendly staff.
I never write reviews but Mi Mexico is an exception. Their food is phenomenal and consistent. I would definitely recommend!
Awesome service and awesome food:) this place is always packed:) but its worth the wait. The owner is always there making sure everyone is doing ok. I highly recommend this place
I picked up a steak nachos. for $13!! not worth it. Taco Burrito King in Niles is way better! less than $10 and amazing cheese. cheddar cheese
The food was excellent very fast service. Atmosphere is nice was nice and clean most of all the drinks that I had was phenomenal I would recommend this place for anyone whos looking for a great authentic Mexican food
Nicest server the older gentleman, GREAT food, and strict mask protocol... Id go back!
Great food. Clean bathrooms. Good service and nice colorful atmosphere.
Have been going here for over 10 years. Great food, lovely place, service wonderful and just consistent with quality and staff.
Great food and large portions. They aggressively conserve napkins so you must use the single napkin provided very carefully so it lasts.
One of my favorite restaurants. An awesome selection of authentic mexican food can be found here. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Every time I visit my family in Northbrook I have to go there. We all love it! The atmosphere the flavor of the food its just mind blowing
Fantastic tasty food. Very nice and friendly atmosphere.Restaurant and restrooms are extremely clean. Would highly recommend for a friendly relaxed and tasty experiance.
Great food, generous portions, great prices and amazing staff. This is somewhere I eat every time I am in the Deerfield area, even if I have to drive 40 minutes.
Food is very good but when we place a take out order we never get everything we ordered.. this has happened about three times already. Better to go in a sit down and eat.
Food was good and served super hot. Fun atmosphere.
I love coming here with my family. They have great food and fair prices. The staff is very friendly too.
Great Mexican food. Happy. Friendly atmosphere. Clean place.Fish salad with asparagus and mango are to die for.
The tortilla soup is amazing fish tacos as well. Always have a good meal there and portions are typically on the larger side.
Always great food and so happy to be able to see the owners and staff again
We visit this place each time we come into town for the service, food, and atmosphere. Its a little too salty to feel 100% authentic, but it still has a place in our hearts.
Nice decor. Mole was too sweet and lunch hours end at 1pm instead of 3. Pricey without the lunch deals.
More of a platter place than tacos or burritos on their own. I got the tacos al pastor platter, which came with rice, refried beans, and salad. The al pastor was mediocre.
Chicken burrito was huge & loaded with lots of chicken. Very tasty. Waiter should have offered more drink refills.
The absolute worst Mexican restaurant ever! They serve flour tortillas! Clue #1. Twenty minutes after eating there, I literally ran to the bathroom because lunch was coming out of both ends. Dont do it folks
Best Mexican food we have ever had in the U.S., great selection, very authentic. Busy place, could use a few more staff.
As much as I try, I always get #23. Its just so good. I travel far for that. My friends get other things. There was live music last Saturday and the guy is great.
Worst customer service ever. They took like 30 minutes to take our order even when they dint have a lot of Customers. And waiters and the managers or owner show a bad attitude. Only food they really know how to cook its hamburguers.
Great atmosphere and staff! The food was really good too - great vegan options! Definitely going back!!
Great food. Friendly environment!
Good food at good prices. I do believe that there is room for improvement but over all the food is very good.
Good service cold beer. Good food
Pretty much middle of the road in terms of value and food quality. Typical American take on Mexican food. Nothing to write home about. Just watch the bill to make sure you were charged what the menu process said.
Amazing food at a reasonable price. This place is family own and it nicely decorated. Nice for a birthday party and casual/semi-casual occasions
Nice atmosphere polite and professional staff. Great food items. Very fair and reasonable prices. Recommended!
We have been dinning here for a few years now. The food is always great and the service is great, prices are good.
Decent food but somewhat pricey for what you get. Strawberry margarita was too strong so it did not taste good.
First time dining here. A pleasant surprise. The food was very good and the interior was freat5
Best Mexican food in Lake County. Staff is super polite and helpful. I wish I could give them a sixth star.
This restaurant was wonderful! Just visiting Illinois. Very authentic. Margaritas are wonderful! Ask for Corona Familia! Best salsa.
The staff is extremely friendly. Food is great and generous portions. This is my go to place to eat when I go to the Deerfield area for work.
Mi Mexico is one of my favorite Mexican places in Illinois. If you’ve had difficulty finding white queso dip in the area, Mi Mexico’s is superb!
The food is very delicious, the portions are very large the staff is very friendly I really like this restaurant.
Best place for enchiladas, I go with traditional cheese only yummy! The beans and rice very authentic reminds me of home.
Great food, nice portions. My only issue was that they dont serve aguas frescas, no horchata.
Incredible food at a low price, an average of $8 for a large burrito. Super delicious and a great atmosphere.
The food is always delicious and the portions are large
Good Mexican restaurant, I’ll rate it 4.3
I had seafood enchiladas. They were excellent. I would recommend this restaurant. Nice ambiance too!
Had a great meal. Servings were generous, service was great. We will revisit.
Awesome service, food, and atmosphere is top notch. A must to go too. You just cant not go. Its fun!!
Service was excellent. Lunch was good and reasonably priced.Will be going back on a regular basis.
The only thing that I liked was free nachos. the rest wasnt good , especially burrito. I burned myself with hot plate , I believe that food was from microwave 😑🙃
Good place to eat with the fam...very good food.!!..but missed the aguas frescas! Hehe in my opinion they should have ya que es un Mexican restaurant....
Overpriced for quality. Rice and beans was good but everything else was just okay or bad. Salsa and chips here is awful!
Great food. Nice people working at this place.

2022-02-12Went after work with some coworkers. We had the queso fundido for an appetizer. I was stuffed from chips and salsa and the queso fundido so I just got a steak quesadilla. Food was a little pricey but the quality is there.

2022-02-19Found this place searching for Mexican food- went in but the greeting lady was a bit rude ( that’s why I gave it 4 stars) But we decided to return kindness just wanted to give the restaurant a try. It was pretty empty, two tables with people. The waitress was so nice and took great care of us throughout our time there. The food portions were so big! Typical Mexican style.

2022-05-25Tried this place for the first time last weekend and loved it! Salsa tasted very fresh with a nice little kick and the chips were great also. Guacamole was also really good and tasted fresh. I had veggie fajitas and once again, everything tasted really fresh and the seasoning was fantastic. Our waiter was very attentive and super nice which is always a big plus so even though this is pretty far for me, I would definitely travel to go back there again.

2021-08-01The food was great and delicious, the service was horrible, we get it it gets busy but at least acknowledge your customers. We sat for almost an hour waiting for our check that is unacceptable. We had to go and get our check to pay our bill! So disappointed we have eaten here before and have never encountered this bad of service!

2021-07-12Big serving size, wide variety of food. I struggled with 5 or 4 stars. Overall the food and service was good and we had a large group so it took long to get the food out of the kitchen. The Mexican Trio was a lot of food that could easily be split. The carne asada and grilled chicken were tender, the Portuguese Shrimp were over cooked. The Tortilla Soup had very good flavor. The Queso Fundido was very good and so are their corn tortillas. The flavor was a bit bland overall except for the soup but I definitely would go back to try more, I almost did the whole fish which looked good.

2022-06-02Great place to dine in. We were a party of four and everyone had something different. My chicken quesidilla was delicious so were the different salads with meat and fish that the others had. A very large parking, great service and they make you feel at home. We enjoyed flan and coffee as we sat al fresco on the patio.

2022-04-29Been going there for about one year now. Brought many of friends there was very happy sometimes the service was a little slow and they had a hard time understanding but tonight they tried to cheat me had 7 people so they added a 20 per cent tip that was fine but when I ordered an order to go the added it to my in house and added 20 per cent .when I pointed it out instead of strighting it out they got rude and would not even try to make it right. Last time I ever go there. And will tell everyone I know how they are managed.poor poor poor
