Best service and authentic Mexican food. Tina, Blanca and the others are terrific and always very friendly and professional. This has been ours and our family’s go to for over 25years! Awesome!

A lady should never age herself, but I have no shame in admitting that I have eaten here for over 30 years. It was my Mexican grandfather’s favorite restaurant by his house and we would have Sunday brunch there at least twice a month through out the course of my childhood. I recently returned this past Father’s Day, and everything was exactly how I remember. Excellent chips and guacamole. Delicious chorizo and eggs. And, my favorite, super flavorful carne asada. Do not expect anything more than good Mexican food and you will not be disappointed.

The best quality food for your money! We live in Plainfield and are very disappointed when we have a taste for Mexican and don’t want to travel 90 miles round trip. The food here is amazing.

Love this place! Had my husband’s surprise birthday party here and it was the best! The staff was wonderful — they even helped my daughter decorate for the big event! Everything about this place is great. BYOB if you want a drink with the great food!

I have been coming here for YEARS! YEARS! Now they have some«art» hanging from their walls. Well I came here this past weekend and this«art» is hanging so low that my daughter got up from her chair and a piece of their«art» fell off of the wall and hit her head and back and fell to the ground. THEYMADEMEPAYFORIT! They did not ask if my daughter was OK or anything — they just came to me and said I had to pay for their«art» that fell on the floor and broke. THISIS A RESTAURANTNOTANARTGALLERY! I am contacting the BBB and an attorney as well. THISISCRAZY!!!

I have been coming here more than ten years. Watch your receipt. They like to charge you more than the listed price. You can order the same exact order in the same week and pay 5 dollars more the next time. The pork tacos taste delicious. The beef tacos and chicken are good also. Food overall is very good. Just watch out for their price changing at the register. They will sneakily hammer you.

This place is a-maz-ing! The food is so flavorful, with subtle Mexican influences in everything from the entrees to the atmosphere. I ordered the seasonal fish, and my boyfriend ordered the braised short ribs. Add the margaritas and chips/guacamole…heaven! Easily one of the best meals we’ve ever had, and will be on the list next time we visit Chicago! You won’t be disappointed, I promise.

My bf has literally been coming here all his life for Mexican food, and he quickly turned me onto this amazing place! The owners know him by name, every time we order take out or come to dine in, we are always greeted with a smile and kind words. When you dine in, you get free soup, salsa, and chips, and the soup is THEBESTSOUPEVER. I’m not even exaggerating. It’s like this delicious veggie filled vat of goodness and omg when we order take out we usually need a quart of the soup!!! Their steak is amazing, but I love veggie Mexican dishes, and they make me the best veggie quesadillas I’ve had. Avacado tacos are also to die for. Hidden gem that makes everything taste even 10x better: the Ranchero sauce. It’s a warm, salsa-like sauce that you can dip chips into or spread over your tacos or meal. So flavorful and delicious. This is our favorite Mexican spot in the neighborhood, well worth every penny!!! So yummy!!!

Good service, love the soup that comes with the meal. Food has only disappointed once, when I found a bone in my chicken tacos, but I continue to come back

On August 14th I order from here again. Delivery is still slow and takes well over an hour. I ordered the Carne Asada Dinner and some nachos. The carne was like chewing on a piece of shoe leather. $ 31.09 down the drain. I ended up having to order from another place as the nachos were the only thing that was ok… and I say ok, because the little square of cheese they put on wasn’t even melted.

I’m not a big fan of Mexican food, but the food at Mexico Steakhouse isn’t bad.

If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered nachos and I’ve never seen anything so disgusting in my life. It was 9 individual nachos each with a dollop of refried beans, a slice of kraft singles, and a dollop of sour cream. I wouldn’t feed this to my dog. Never again will I eat here.

I dont like giving negative reviews but I feel that you should be warned. I ordered the pork taco salad and was charged for the steak. I asked about it and they did not correct the price. The pork was very tender and juicy by the way. You also get a cup of noodle soup with your order which was great! My co-worker ordered bistec al la mexicana and he got a dish with chunks of beef rather than skirt steak. Typically this dish has jalapeño cooked with it, this did not. I think this dish should be called chunky beef with onion stew because that is what it looked like. I am sorry to say this place will not be my first choice next time I’m in the area.

Not very good, and I should know since I eat authentic Mexican at home often. I live right by here and not only is it pricey, but the tacos are far from worth it. The only decent stuff was the rice and beans. Oh and they sell Mexican coke in a bottle, which is always a plus. Aside from that, we’re right by it for the last three years and have only gone once. Will never be going back.

From the name to the outside appearance, this place looks questionable… but it’s really good. Just a tiny diner style restaurant with cooks that know Mexican food. Our waitress was super nice too. Ordered the skirt steak tacos and they were awesome.

Hands down the best skirt steak I’ve had in a long time not to be overshadowed by the tasty soup you get after you sir down.

The Mexico Steakhouse is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. This restaurant offers a large assortment of basic Mexican food in a utilitarian dining room and is BYO. It is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each lunch and diner is automatically started with a cup of soup and chips and tangy salsa verde and salsa rojo at no charge. I recommend the carne asada, either the dinner(full or half order) or in tacos. The skirt steak is always served in large portions with the meat being very juicy and flavorful. The dinner is accompanied by decent rice and frijoles and either flour or corn tortillas that are always hot and appetizing. Two other dishes that are highly recommended are the pork and beef stews. The meats in both are very tender and tasty and work very well with the other ingredients. The cost is very reasonable and the service is always efficient and friendly. Also, free street parking is always available.

Thought is was time for an update since ’09. This place is still going strong in my list of places to go on the south side, and it stands up to any north side comparable Mexican restaurant. Keep in mind, this place is about those standbys that you’d expect, tacos, enchiladas, tostados and a really good skirt steak. If you’re a foodie looking for pork cheeks or snouts or whatever little delicacy you want, keep driving… yes I’ll say it, keep driving north. Had dinner here last night, enjoyed it as we usually do.

This place is as good a mexican restaurant can get. Their Pozole, Fajitas De Pollo and Avocado Tacos are my favorite. Their Fried Ice Cream is also very good. I’m generally a very demanding and fastidious person. Nevertheless, this place continues to impress me. The service is very good too. The people who run this place(Tina, and the others!) are very welcoming, courteous and nice. All in all, if you’re in Chicago and looking for a good Mexican restaurant, this is a MUST-GO!

Sorry, but don’t think I would return. Service was nice and friendly, but the food wasn’t that great. They give you chips and salsa and a little bowl of soup. I had the chicken tostados and thought the chicken was a bit dry and not much flavor. The salsa didn’t really add much to help it. They are a smidge more expensive than some places. I don’t mind paying if it was good, but it just wasn’t.
