The steak tacos are amazing as well as the shrimp fajitas! YUMMMM! I also really love the caldo de res one of my family's favorite places and go to for ordering out. Please join Grubhub! read more

After buying a new appliance from Grand, we decided to walk up to the next block and check this place out. So glad that we did! We started out with guacamole ( which was was little lime forward, but good) then we ordered the chicken enchiladas verde and the Chimichangas (one steak , one chicken). TBH I am usually disappointed by steak anything lately (often times grisly or tough), but the steak here was tender and had a nice smoky char, while the chicken was moist. They also gave a generous dollop of sour cream and guac on each perfectly fried chimichanga. The horchata was also very good. Perfect balance of sweet and cinnamony - without overpowering. Service was attentive and friendly. We'll be back! read more

Redeemed! I had forgotten my last, mainly negative review and ordered delivery again. Glad we did because once again like all of our earlier meals, everything was delicious and packed with fresh and flavorful ingredients. Steak burrito dinner, chicken burrito dinner, pork tacos, and chile relleno tacos-all were excellent. $100 doesn't buy what it did not that long ago but all restaurants are in the same costly boat. read more

Delicious food, very good service, nice atmosphere. We started with the guacamole and several people in our group got chimichangas. Nothing served was anything less than great! read more

I like the Encilatis susa. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere is nice and cozy.

I've only been to this place once but I vividly remember the experience because it was really good! The food was very tasty and the service was high quality at least during me and my family's visit. The only reason I wouldn't rate this place higher is because of the aesthetics. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with the place it just didn't have anything over the top visually which in this instance resulted in a one star reduction, but is a very solid restaurant and one I would definitely still recommend to family and friends! read more

Street parking, Food was pretty good. Margarita was tasty (mason jar filled)...and they have to go ones. Pico de gallo- nice and spicy with perfect balance of flavor. Hot sauce dip is milder than the pico but good. Chips nice airy, light, and crispy. Enchiladas suizas con green sauce- 3 chicken enchiladas with balanced flavor and reasonable meat amount. The salsa verde es muy favorable. The rice and beans were also good. Service- very welcoming and kind. I had the pleasure of having less people in the place. Music wasnt too loud. TV was playing fútbol (soccer). I liked that the tables arent on top of each other as it allows for more private conversations depending on the individuals. Nice amount of menu options with overwhelming a person. Also a small outside option if you want to catch a breeze. read more

Service was fantastic, and the food was even better. It's rare to find a place with authentic and delicious Gorditas, but this place has them and they are spectacular. read more

I've only ordered take out from here but each time it is delicious food! We love the enchiladas and the burrito. Rice and beans are good too. read more

This a great Mexican restaurant. The place was full on a Saturday night. The service was friendly and attentive. The margaritas were good and strong. The steak in the carne asada tacos was delicious! I also really enjoyed the fish tacos with yummy sauce. My husband had the shrimp soup and it was huge and fantastic. Loaded with shrimp. Came with tortillas. We will definitely be back! read more

Have ordered takeout several times. We have enjoyed tacos, enchiladas and burritos from this restaurant. Our favorite is the steak tacos. Very tasty and tender steak. Very good rice and beans too. Our food is always ready very fast! Nice counter service. We have not opted to dine here. It's more of a simple storefront with 10 or so tables. read more

Usually I'm very satisfied when ordering here, unfortunately this was probably the most disappointing meal I've had here. I hope it's a one off and not the direction of the restaurant because it's always been one of my favorite places in town. Today my meal was bland, where normally it's very tasty! Also I left as soon as I hung up ordering. It's only a 5 minute drive, but the meal was done and in the bag when I arrived. Sadly, it was cold by the time I got home. The final disappointment would have to be with the amount of sour cream and guacamole I received with the burrito dinner. It was enough for one or two bites at most. So sad for this experience, but I will try them again and hopefully the quality will be restored. It's not cheap so a little guac would be nice. Thanks read more

This was a great place to stop in Forest Park. We'd been driving around checking out houses for a few hours and had worked up an appetite. At the time we were there, it was very quiet (only a couple other parties were in the restaurant whilst we were there), but they had lots of take out orders during that time. We started off with some chips and salsa. The salsa was REALLY good. Both of them had some heat to them, and the green in particular seemed to build nicely. I really liked both of them but the tomato-based salsa probably was my favorite of the two if I had to make a choice. I also ordered a margarita; I was going to try the peach margarita, but of the three flavors offered (strawberry, peach, and lime) only the lime is made on the rocks and that's what I prefer. It was a great margarita. Sadly, they don't offer sopes and gorditas can be a bit overstuffed and messy so I ended up ordering fajitas. The fajitas were really good and the portions were very large. This is probably where my main complaint comes in. Both of us ordered fajitas, and they brought us out the tortillas of course, but unless I stuffed my fajitas so full I couldn't eat them easily we didn't really get enough fajitas to eat them all. Perhaps they expect people will not have as large an appetite as we did that day, and folks will take them home and heat them up with their own tortillas. But for two orders of their fajitas, I think initially we got six tortillas total for two orders. We asked for additional tortillas twice more since we needed them to continue our meal, and they charged us a least once. Do they really only provide three tortillas for that much fajita? I think they also charged us for the additional chips we asked for, so be aware that the second helping is not free. Still, it was good and the service was great. I liked our server a lot. They don't have dedicated parking and since this is on Madison (toward the Des Plaines Ave end) parking could definitely be tricky when the area is hopping but it was easy for us this day. I don't think it's free parking, though (we were there on Sunday so we didn't pay that day) so make sure to feed the meter/app. read more

I really enjoyed the food. I love the Quesa birria tacos. It had the right ratio between cheese and meat. It was spicy but the right amount of flavor when you dip it in the consommé. Also the chips and guacamole were really good . The guacamole completed the chip.Service was quick and great. The dinning space is colorful and very cultural music. read more

Chirrion was so good. I came here with a friend. We got there right around 6pm on a Monday, so we were able to be seated right away. It definitely filled up pretty quickly afterwards! I loved that we got two different salsas with the complimentary chips. One was more of a medium red salsa and the other was a pico de gallo. I asked if there was a hot salsa, and our server kindly brought us a hot green salsa - it was delicious. For dinner, I ordered the steak burrito dinner. Even though I couldn't have cheese or sour cream with it due to dietary restrictions, I thought the burrito was well made and the right amount of all the ingredients. Adding the hot green salsa to the burrito made it that much better. I love that it came with guacamole and rice & beans. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some other things. I also will have to get a margarita next time. read more

Awesome food that's hot and great proportions. When there for a quick dinner. They do not split checks if you are going to g as a group

Yummy! I got the steak chimichangas to go and want to come back to sit down at some point! You do get a good amount of food for your buck, which I appreciate. Staff was friendly. Will be back to try some more read more

I think it is slightly over priced for the quality. You can get a burrito that is larger and tastes better for cheaper at a taco truck.

The Steak here is one of the best in the City! Order the Steak Burrito with the premium Steak. It wont disappoint!

One of my go-to places in the area for Mexican steak dishes, especially the steak burrito. If you're really hungry, they offer a tasty, flavorful steak burrito dinner with hefty portions. Tacos and tostadas are also tasty. Chirrion does the trick consistently. read more

I came here for a lunch date with my son. I live a few blocks over within walking distance from CMG. Amazing service. The food was decent and the prices were reasonable. i ordered the chicken Chimichangas two deep fried mini-burritos topped with guacamole. Served with rice, beans, lettuce, and tomato for $12.95. My son ordered the Enchilada meal. Three rolled chicken tortillias in mild red sauce, topped with melted cheese and sour cream. Served with rice, beans, lettuce and tomato. He wasn't too thrilled with his meal. The melted cheese was too soggy and sloppy to enjoy. Atmosphere was nice. Clean space. read more

It was ok, but not great. The salsa was hot and not super flavorful. The kids didn't really like the food. The cheese dip was nacho cheese sauce. Barf. Good - the fish tacos were pretty solid. The kids liked that the kids meals came with ice cream. read more

The food is delicious the service is very friendly and the restaurant is cozy and inviting.

Great beef soup, nachos and tacos. Also the service is great and you get served quickly.

My friend and I came in around 9pm on Saturday. We weren't sure if we'd be able to sit because we knew they were closing at 10 and wanted to be considerate. They encouraged us to sit and enjoy ourselves. The service was SO friendly and the food and margaritas that we had were AMAZING. Honestly some of the best I've ever had. I definitely plan to go back and often since I live nearby. read more

For anyone who has a bad review to say about this restaurant has poor taste in food. This is by far the best Mexican restaurant I've had around the Oak Park area. Don't waste your money on Maya Del Sol. Anything on the menu is killer! 10/10 read more

Love this place Often come here with my sisters for a quick bite. Staff is courteous and our food is 10/10 read more

Wow, VERY disappointed with the price of a burrito! $16.45! I eat Burritos DAILY and would consider myself a burrito savant! I felt like I took a Time Machine to 2034 to get this. Most most expensive burrito I have ever eaten, and I would say based on the price it was very mediocre. I hate leaving bad reviews for small businesses that are trying to make it nowadays, but I also hate throwing my hard money out the window just as much. I will never eat here again as there are several other options that are way more affordable with superior food quality! read more

In the area and this was the closest to where we where. The pictures look nice and when we arrived it was dead inside and the place had a funky smell. My kids weren't having it but it went away or maybe we got used to it for the ten minutes. We got complimentary chips and salsa. Then we ordered drinks and they only carry a few jarritos flavors no pineapple. The horchata water is good. They have a few tv's in the small inside of the restaurant. The waitress was nice and was on top of being us drinks. My wife got the steak fajitas and when it came out holly green peppers and tomatoes. There wasn't much steak but green peppers and tomatoes dam. The beans and rice where really good. The meat was very chewy but it was bland. My sons order steak tacos which where okay they had more flavor. I got a steak,chorizo,marinated pork tacos. The steak was okay nothing special. The chorizo was actually very good and the marinated pork was not for me. It was undercooked and the flavor was not there. read more

SO GOOD. Very excited to have found this place. Steak tacos (with onion and cilantro) were phenomenal. We dined in on a Sunday evening and it wasn't crowded. Our server was fantastic. Husband got sangria and loved it (more tart than sweet), I got a small lime margarita on the rocks. So good. Really wanted a large but it was a school night. Chips and salsa were very good. Our 7 year old had chicken taquitos and really like them. I had one chicken and one steak taco. Chicken was very good but steak was amazing. Son had three steak tacos and finished them in no time. We will definitely be back! read more

I have been meaning to try this place for some time and am really happy I did. I think the Chirrion Grill is going to be a staple on the Madison Avenue/Forest Park dining scene and it's because the food tastes great. There is a ton of street parking and you can park on side streets as well. If you're coming from the City, you could easily take the blue line and walk over. It's probably a few block walk from the blue line station. The food here is good... really good....like I'm planning on going back soon good. My girlfriend got a pork burrito and I got a steak torta. Both items were terrific. I would order that torta again all day and twice on Sunday. The next time we dine here, we may eat in because the Sangria looks incredible. The prices are a tad on the high end, but let's be real, you get what you pay for. Great food, friendly employees and a great location. We will definitely come back!!! read more

My sister and I were looking for a quick spot to eat in the Forest Park area. We decided to hit up Madison Street. We parked in a lot and let our feet lead the way. We found Chirrion and decided to check them out! It's a fairly small restaurant probably seats about 20-30 people. The art work on the walls were incredibly beautiful. The staff was really welcoming and nice as well. I hate I don't get my servers name, they were definitely a great help and gave us some options to come back to check out. We were seated quickly and given water as well as chips and salsa. The pico is A1!! I had to ask for more as it was bursting with flavor. We both ordered the chicken flautas. It came with three flautas, rice, beans, crema, guacamole, and a side of lettuce and tomato. The beans are vegetarian which is a plus for me as I don't eat pork; and I've found that a lot of restaurants use lard in their refried bean preparation. The flautas were crispy & seasoned to perfection. My food don't stand a chance I gobbled it up so quickly. My sister ended up ordering another flautas meal to take to go! I'll definitely be back to try one of their steaks! This will definitely be my go to spot for a good sit down meal! read more
