Everything on the menu is great, reasonably priced, and very quick service. The Buenas Nachos taco dinner is my favorite - they don't skimp on the ingredients and the avocado is always fresh! read more

The staff is amazing! The food is delicious cant beat the price point. The fact that they have carrots&peppers is a bonus for me..My go to meal is steak tacos but ive branch out and had chicken and pork and the both was good read more

Buenas Nachos - Elote - Mexican Near Me - Frankfort, Illinois

I've been coming to this place for 20 years, always solid Mexican food. I go here every time I visit the area.

Good, reasonably priced tacos. They also sell delicious fresh tortilla chips and they fill the bag right up to the top. I recommend steak tacos with cilantro and onion only. The t-shirts are also a good price. read more

Stopped in and grabbed a steak burrito..it was good, but not great. If I'm hungry and in the area, I might try this spot again. It's closer to being a 2.5 rating to be fair. read more

Have no idea of time management. When u have an order with something that takes 5 min and one that takes 10 min on same ticket u cook the longer one first. Place blows chunks. read more

I seriously cannot fathom who is giving this place such a high rating. First of all, over priced; and they nickel and dime you for every sauce or side or anything you could think of. Salsa: horrible. Tastes like they started with a bottle of ketchup and added onions Guacamole: not terrible if you're on a bland diet or are averse to salt or flavor of any kind Beans: worst I've ever had. They opened them straight from a can and then dried them out a little Rice: actually decent Tacos al pastor: also decent but too many chunks of fat mixed into the meat Steak burrito: couldn't get past those abominable beans to tell if it could've stood a chance Overall, will never eat here again. There's got to be actual Mexican somewhere in the area? read more

Absolutely love this place. Been going here for years, best tacos around. Their guacamole and rice is also a favorite with my family- couldn't say enough about how much I enjoy this place! read more

Mexican corn opened in the Togo bag. Destroyed! I called and the "worker" refused to put a manager on the phone and refused to tell me his name. He blamed everything on the delivery driver and said call them. I told him I didnt touch the food and will bring the entire grease soaked papper bag back to them to see how I recieved it. Very ignorant on the phone and I love there food but will never order from them again! read more

Sorry Buenas Nachos! Your service was not to my expectations. Enchilada dinner was not like I've had at other restaurants, the sauce had no flavor My daughters tamales were hard at the ends. My son rated your asada tacos a 2 out of 10, he was not happy. Your meat had too much fat. The rice was salty and the beans were cold and was served way too much to finish for my dinner. To be completely honest I only enjoyed your horchata drink. Will not be eating here again. read more

I have been going here for 20+ years and never had a bad meal. If your looking for some great Mexican food and a even greater price, this is the spot. Very friendly and always busy. We ordered dinner during this pandemic and then came to the car gave us our food took our payment, and we never had to move. I highly recommend everyone trying it, you won't be disappointed. read more

This is my go-to Mexican restaurant. I started carrying more cash on me because they don't take credit cards. You never know when a guac craving will hit. I need to always be prepared. Family run and always friendly, quick service. Basic menu items done well. Nothing fancy, just fresh, fast, home-made food. Speaking of guac cravings, anyone know a chemist that can analyze this for me? Seriously addicting. There has to be a secret ingredient with habit forming properties. I'm with Emily B, that nacho cheese sauce is seriously tasty. I won't tell anyone if you don't, but I would use it as shower gel. Fat-girl tip: Mix that nacho sauce with the salsa and pair it with the guac and chips. Total time-of-the-month food. The parking lot is small and aggravating so be prepared for a headache. It's right on the majorly busy Rt 30 and 45 intersection. Call in your order to avoid dealing with it. read more

Ew. Why is it such a struggle to find good food in the suburbs? Flavorless guacamole. Flavorless tacos. Dirty floors. Dirty bathrooms. This place doesn't even offer Pepsi or Coke, they offer an off-brand, RC Cola. I'm confused why previous yelpers would say this is the "best Mexican they've ever had." are these people homeless and food deprived? do these people live under a rock? If you live in the city, DO NOT drive to Frankfort for this food, as previously recommended on yelp. DON'T. read more

I had the shrimp burrito special. The shrimp were breaded and tasted like they were bad - very fishy tasting. Only ate half of it. Felt like I was going to be sick before I left. Had my wife drive home. As soon as I got home I got sick. On top of it, we were overcharged. They were busy and didn't get up to the counter because I was feeling sick from the bad tasting shrimp. If you sit by the bathrooms they will make you sick from the smell. The place is dirty and no one making food wears gloves. Will not be going back. Can get better Mexican at El Cortez in Mokena. read more

Best Mexican food in area! Have been going there since it opened! Love the steak tacos, rice and beans dinner!

GREAT service, authentic food, yummy horchata!! My husband got the Superman burrito and he's loving it as I type. My dad got chorizo and egg tacos and they were tasty. My mom and I got chicken tacos. Awesome flavor and the avocado we added to it was super fresh. Their pico de gallo was super fresh also and nice and spicy. Definitely coming back again. We came on a Monday night, and the young man who took our order was very helpful, friendly, and kind. The place was packed so they're on to something!! read more

Best tacos around and always busy. If your calling for takeout - be sure your order is correct because it is always rushed. Even if you order and pay extra for the guac - they do tend to forget it sometimes. But the food is always delicious and the horchata is always awesome! read more

Picked up dinner here on a suggestion from a few different friends who lived in the area. Definitely worth the drive from New Lenox. I ordered by phone and requested carry out. The total bill was $12 which included 5 tacos, a quesadilla and a generous side of rice. The food was fresh, authentic, and delicious. The ground beef in the tacos was flavorful and the chorizo tacos were spicy. Would like to try a tamale next time. We didn't order any chips or salsa so I can't comment on those. This is my new go-to mexican restaurant as I think it's much tastier and affordable than El Burrito Loco in New Lenox. read more

Best Chile Relleno taco ANYWHERE. The older lady that sometimes works there (owner/fedora hat) can be a little grouchy sometimes, but nothing that eclipses the quality of the food. Outstanding. Rice is extraordinary, guac is amazing, mole that is truly exceptional. Note: pull the door HARD. The air pressure makes it tough. read more

When I first started going to this place I tried their burritos and tacos and the usual, the items you would order from any new to you Mexican restaurants. I didn't find them spectacular but they were good and the prices were reasonable. Then I decided to try the chicken quesadilla dinner. Ever since then I've been completely addicted to it and that's the only thing I order from there. You get three of them and with the rice and beans the meal is extremely filling. I usually have one queso leftover. I'm a fairly frequent customer as I'll call the order in on the drive home from work and grab it once I'm back in Frankfort. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have yet to find another place that tastes similar to Buenas Nachos. Many places out in Chicagoland taste like they all buy their stuff from the same supplier, but Buenas Nachos does everything a bit differently. I love their chips The Guac is awesome IMHO The green/red sauces are awesome And the flour-shell steak tacos are fantastic. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Great food I love this place. I gave it a 4 because customer service could be way better. I also waited an extra 45 min past my time to receive my food read more

The best Mexican food restaurant in the Lincolnway area. I have had all of them and have not found any restaurant to match the quality of the food at Buenos Nachos. The staff is very friendly and they have your food ready in 15 min. They give you many different condiments to eat with your food. Chips are homemade and quacamole is outstanding! The price is excellent as well. I can feed my family of 7 for under 30.00. Would highly recommend trying Buenos Nachos. read more

This is the best Mexican food I have every had. I come to this place at least 3 times a month. The food is outstanding and the staff is always friendly. If I'm ever put on death row, my last meal is going to be from Buenas Nachos. read more

Yum. Yum. That's my review. I LOVE it here. I always order the beef burrito dinner, and get those amazing carrots and a huge rice. If you haven't eaten here, you're missing out. Get in there! read more

OH MY gatto!! You have to try the chicken stew soup!!! A broth, with corn, peas, onions and 2 actual whole pieces of chicken!! We had a leg and a breast. 32 ounces!! DEEEELISH!! A true meal on its own. Only available in the winter.. We split a SUPERMAN burrito. It was very good. Could have used some sour cream on the side... read more

I never take the time to review places, but I feel like it is my duty to tell people about Buenas Nachos. I just tried their Tacos Al Pastor, and I must say, this is the best Al Pastor I've ever had. So much flavor in every bite. Masterfully, and perfectly prepared. I've tried the chicken tacos from here before, they were good, but the Pastor is legendary. 100% will return. read more

LOVE the large steak nachos. They layer it nicely so there are pockets of yumminess hiding below.

This place is always busy, which tells me everyone loves their food. Including me. From Chile rellenos, tacos, burritos, to homemade gauacamole and salsa, everything is excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing food, and absolutely superlative, friendly service! This little place is a hidden gem, and so worth it for great Mexican food in the Mokena - Frankfort area! Try it, you will be glad you did!!! read more

My favorite fast food Mexican restaurant. Great food and perfect flavor! Their Burritos and Tacos are the best around!

I grew up eating here and it is the best Mexican food in the area. The Chile relleno is great. The guacamole is very smooth and delicious. The green salsa is the absolute best I've ever had, I've never had anything close to how good it is. I've done carry out and dine in and have never had any problems with my order. read more

This place serves some of the best Mexican food on the south side! We've been eating here for years, and have some definite favorites. The Bear Burrito is really good, packed with steak and potatoes! The tacos are amazing, and their horchata is very good, not too much cinnamon. The nachos are fairly standard, but they are tastey. The decor is not much too look at, but in my experience, really good Mexican food is often associated with a certain aesthetic. A family favorite for great Mexican food. read more

I pulled because the place was busy, but then again it was a Saturday night and they should be. I expected more from a 4 Star Avg/13 Reviews spot. Steak Burrito was bland and greasy! Steak Nachos were sloppy (I've had my share of great Mexican food, so I am confident in my review) The chicken quesidillla with lettuce and tomato wasn't something i was use to BUT it was very good. I felt their free hot/mild sauces were a bit bland. I will say the people were very polite and they were fast. If I was in the area I would go back for the chicken quesidillas but without the lettuce and tomato. read more

Good Mexican food is extremely hard to find in the suburbs! I'm personally used to the South Side of Chicago joints. Of all the places I have tried in the suburbs, this place is definitely my favorite. I've only been here a couple times. They're quick, not expensive, always nice and good food. The last time I ordered from here, I ordered over the phone for pick up. They said it would be ready in 10 minutes, and it was. I definitely suggest their Enchiladas Poblanos! read more

Awesome food. Good location. And fast service. Restaurant is in kinda rough shape. read more

I love the steak and lengua (beef tongue) here! Also the garlicky mild verde salsa is absolutely delicious! It can get busy with a long line and it has more of a fast food feel inside. So I suggest calling to order for pick-up! read more

Meat had been extremely tough the last few times and the customer service has hit a down spiral!

Always a winner. One of my favorite Burrito places. Have been going here since the 80's. Never disappoints. Long lines is the only complaint, and that's because it's good and people know it. read more

I ordered the chicken and steak burrito with avocado and cilantro added. The chicken was not grilled and I was not informed on the phone that they do not do grilled chicken unless it's fajitas, when I had specifically asked for it on the phone. Secondly, $2.95 for a quarter of an avocado in my burrito is absolutely ridiculous. As someone who is Mexican and whose family owns multiple Mexican restaurants, these prices are preposterous for food that lacks traditional flavor and spices. I had high hopes for better quality food and atmosphere after the remodel but alas, both still are dull and lackluster. If you want delicious, flavorful, but slightly pricier traditional Mexican food (that's worth the price), support my good friend Denise and check out Pico De Gallo in New Lenox. I will never return to this restaurant again. read more
