Great food, great food, and great food. Hardworking and kind staff and flavorful cuisine.

Hired them for my daughter's high school graduation party. I cant thank them enough for making my daughter's grad party a success. They came out with their Taco Truck and cooked to order for about 50 people. Best decision I've ever made for a family gathering...everybody raved about the food and thought they were great. Communication was excellent prior to the event and the day of the event. Very easy to work with. I have eaten at the restaurant multiple times since finding them...they are a hidden gem...the food is great, service is wonderful and highly recommend giving them a try. They are a small local business that goes out of their way to takes care of their customers...large portions, reasonable prices, friendly service...definitely worth a visit. read more

I didn't enjoy my food. The fries were just okay. I was really hoping that it would be good. It was a waste of money.

I found this on Yelp when my go-to Mexican restaurant, which we have been going to for years, suddenly went down in amount and quality. I was intrigued by the dish that one reviewer suggested, and he was right--it is wonderful! It is their "Quesabirria tacos". It is a small restaurant with a generous menu. They are always pleasant and eager to please. I am so happy that I found them. They are now my go-to Mexican restaurant. read more

I come here often for lunch, the customer service is great, they're always pleasant and always get my order right. The environment is always quiet and calm. The food always tastes great. They have good specials! 10/10 read more

New name, same owner, different menu! Don Jesus y Familia is a cozy, bright, and friendly Mexican Restaurant that balances great flavors, freshness, and authenticity for an adventurous Midwest palette. Every bite is perfectly seasoned with enough salt, spice, fresh herbs, fat, and a pop of lime. Try the quesabirria tacos. This is a gorgeous taco dish made with pot roast stewed in Mexican broth served with a cup of consume for dipping. It comes with rice and refried beans. Very filling and delicious! Add a side of fresh pickled carrots y jalapeños, and a smooth and rich guacamole, you have yourself the perfect feast. Service is casual and easily going. Order and pay at the register or at the table. Don't forget to tip! read more

I go here multiple times a month sometimes multiple times a week. Absolutely amazing food I have brought many of my people to eat here and everyone has loved it. The service is incredibly friendly and fast. And the dining area is peaceful and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place 10/10 read more

These are the types of places i love. A laid back dining experience, with that nice "hole in the wall" feel to it. Wonderful attentive service that is hard to find in many restaurants nowadays. Food is absolutely delicious. Recommend for an impromptu night out, looking for a nice little sit down restaurant with a delicious menu! I had the camaron a la diabla. A delicious spicy shrimp entree that I can't wait to go back for! read more

The food is simple but great made with tons of care and love, family owned and operated with extra care and great service

First timer today & will absolutely be back. Burrito was so good! Quick & friendly service.

When I tell you this place is a bang for your buck im not kidding! The amount of food you get for what u pay is unbelievable and the food is AMAZING! Service Is good too! My daughter and I ate at the restaurant and have to say it is definitely worth the 40 min ride! We will be back! read more

The service here is awful. It's run by a bunch of kids. Had to wait 10 minutes for someone to come to the table and then another 10 minutes before I was able to get something to drink. Our food set up on the counter for five minutes and got cold, and they still brought it to the table even though we saw it sitting there the whole time. of course when they brought the table it was cold and we sent it back and asked for fresh hot stuff. 20 minutes later it was told it would be another. Five minutes was so disgusted with the service it just lost my appetite and left read more

Amazing food, great service highly recommend ordering the "red dipping tacos " with your choice of protein! read more

Don Jesus and Family - two takeout containers of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Munster, Indiana

This is our new go to spot for Mexican takeout. There is technically dine in seating, but it looks awkward and I would be uncomfortable enjoying a meal with a bunch of folks waiting for their takeout orders hovering over my table. The portions are larger and the prices are lower than other spots in the area. Their guac is made to order (which you can usually see while you are waiting). I usually go for the steak chimichanga, golden crispy stuffed full of meat, with lettuce and tomato served on the side for a little freshness. My husband has spent years in the area complaining that he missed the big a$$ burritos that he grew up with in the city. He has finally met his match with their XL burrito, the size is ridiculous but the price of $14 is cheap (see photo)! And the agua de Jamaica is delicious! The staff has always been very friendly. Admittedly the amount of time you're given over the phone for a pickup is greatly underestimated. Plan on at least another 10-15 minutes once you arrive. Veer away from your usual spot and give them a try! read more

First time coming to the restaurant. The food was good, well seasoned, nicely prepared. Everything was fresh. The service was good too. Not too busy. We will come again. read more

Best authentic burritos around! I order the Large burrito which is the size of a fire log! Excellent every time!

I ordered a chicken taco salad and fries. The salad was terrible and the fries looked like old leather. This was my first time and last.

This place has horrible food & they are ridiculously over price. I wouldn't ever step foot back in the crap box & I certainly DO NOT recommend this place! I can't believe they are in business. read more

Moving to Indiana from chicago I was dying for some good Mexican food and I'm so happy I found this place! Love the food and fast service! Highly recommend read more

The burritos are big and can feed two people. However the beef was too dry and thin. It seemed more like shavings than actually chopped beef. The pork tacos were good. I don't recommend the sliced peppers with cheese tacos. No cheese at all. It was just a taco with a few slices of peppers. read more

Everything is delicious. The burritos are giant! Just hope the A/C works better when it's hot out

We stopped for lunch, service was good, we both had the tacos al pastor they seamed on the dry side and we did not like the way they were cooked. read more

Love it here. Service is great. Food is authentic. Love their enchiladas and steak tacos.

The menu had the familiar standards but also many that you will not find in the bigger cookie cutter Mexican restaurants. A small family business, the food from scratch really well flavored, not overly salted. Lots of cheese on the enchiladas and creama underneath. Red sauce, very good. Tasty beans and rice. It is casual inside but comfortable, good parking in back. read more

This place is fantastic! The food is so good and the family is the nicest! I found this place a few months ago when I was looking for same day catering. The pictures of the food looked yummy and the reviews were outstanding so I gave them a try! Let me say not only did they have my food ready 3hrs after I ordered it was so fresh and hot that I was amazed. I mean this family knows how to get the job done!

Let me tell u how great it is to stumble on a gem like this. First, the customer service is off the wall. Went in for tacos, started talking about their menudo. Guess they were preping for the weekend (only offered on Sat/Sun) & offered me some. Who am I to say no, especially since there is a blizzard going on. Back to the tacos, delicious. Now as for this sneak pre read more

Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Very friendly staff, their food is delicious, and their prices are fair.

EXCELLENT FOOD! We ordered steak nachos, quesadillas, steak dinner and it was delicious with healthy portions, plenty to take home for the next day. EXCELLENT SERVICE We will be back again. read more

We love this restaurant. The food is really fresh and delicious, and the owners and wait staff are lovely. It's a sweet neighborhood place. Try the guac! It's fantastic! Mexican breakfasts are favorites of ours--big enough for two meals and very reasonably priced. Since the lock down we've picked up food, but they are also serving in the restaurant, masked up. Support your neighborhood restaurants! read more

I've only had the steak and tongue tacos haven't tried anything else. Steak tacos were good, but the tongue tacos are freaking magic!!! Been back 6 times just for some tongue tacos in 3 weeks. Very consist, not one bad experience. Friendly staff. Place is small but nice. I still need to actually have a sit down experience, only have taken my food to go. read more
