I ordered Togo and got tortilla soup, it was the best tortilla soup I have ever had. So so good 10/10!

An oasis in a sea of chains and Cubs game day chicanery! La Mexicana provides fresh fast casual tacos and burritos with friendly service. Going to a show at the Metro on Cubs game day, I just needed a quick snack without blaring TVs and drunk fans. Two tacos Mexican style with red and green hot sauces was perfect, and a few other concert goers (all from Wisconsin, like myself) were doing the same. Bathroom with a code in the back. Won't hesitate to visit La Mexicana again! read more

I called this morning to ask if there was soup available this early. Had to ask it in two more ways before the lady answering the phone said yes. She said it like I was crazy for asking. You know that condescending tone where we both know it's kind of a weird question and she knows what I meant but she's making me squirm to communicate perfectly what I meant. Great job! read more

I always order the shrimp bowl, it's absolutely delicious and one of my favorite meals. The tamales are yummy too! My boyfriend and I dined in today, he ordered a steak burrito he said the restaurant was stingy on the meat proportion and stuffed the burrito with rice. The Horta was good too. read more

La Mexicana Grill - Almost $20 for this? No rice ! they make their portion less and less vey disappointing . - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food was absolutely phenomenal as are the prices. My fiancè and I ordered this around 10:30 on a Sunday -- just craving! Usually at this time, and given we lived 4.5 miles from the restaurant, we would expect the food to not be as amazing quality, but here, it was as if they'd just taken the steak off the grill. Absolutely amazing quality, portion sizes are extremely generous, and the horchata was not grainy at all. We found our new fav place! read more

I went in and decided to order a quesadilla. I looked at the menu and ordered the Mexicana, which was supposed to be 1250 with a choice of meat and fixings. They charge for any meat that you add to your choice of meats. I asked for clarification and they said sure you get whatever meat you want, but you get to pay more.. THAT MAKES NO SENSE! read more

We are not from Chicago, just visiting But seems they have a lot of medican food restaurants. So we looked on Yelp and found this one. And the photos looked amazing for food options What better day to order for delivery than a cold snowy day. We ordered the chicken/steak fajitas delicious Also ordered the taquitos de papa, these brought back childhood memories. So good And I was thinking of my childhood and ordered a torta with Al pastor and boy was I obsessed. Bummed I didn't get to try the tamales as they were sold out. But typical around holidays. This place is a must try if your in the area Only thing I didn't like was not getting my Mexican coke, they bagged it with the hot food and the bay broke and my coke went plop to the ground. read more

This place shocked me in more of the ways than one. I assumed this was a fast food in and out super quick "Mexican restaurant ", but I was right and wrong at the same time. You do walk in order with the kiosk, and wait for your food, like a fast food restaurant. But the food and the amount was by far more than I ever anticipated for a chain and fast food restaurant. The meat with my fajitas was tender and very flavorful. The fajitas were loaded with chicken, steak, bell peppers, and onions. There was enough food for myself and my wife to share, and we took home enough meat for one possibly two more fajitas. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

I get the quesadilla with fajita vegetables. The steak or shrimp are always good. I love that they give you side of guacamole, salsa, and sour creme. You can order online if you don't want to wait long for your order. Sign up for the rewards program! You get $5 for your birthday. read more

AMAZING! Everything was so so good I definitely recommend checking this place out. The chips were so fresh and delicious - I recommend getting a side of them! The salsa was slightly spicy but pretty good. I got the shrimp tacos which was SO GOOD! I also got a carne asada taco that was delicious. Overall the food was amazing. The service was very quick too so we barely had to wait to get our food which was great because we were starving. Restaurant was clean and even had hand sanitizer on every table which is always appreciated. read more

Great tacos and taco fries! They have traditional tacos and American which come with Lettuce and tomato on a flour tortilla. I like them both, but prefer the traditional. I've had al pastor, carnitas, and barbacoa and have liked them all. read more

The BEST shrimp tacos I've ever had!!!! Seriously. The shrimp is seasoned really well & Portions are great - rice is perfect. Dairy Free & Gluten Free (for gluten intolerance not sure about celiac)! The chipotle sauce is dairy free (mayo). Tofu taco is also delish & the avocado sauce is dairy free (mayo). Vegan and Vegetarian options - skip avocado sauce if you don't do egg read more

I recently stumbled upon this place after seeing a reel about the new sweet corn icecream and decided to get takeout. I got the California burrito bowl with tofu and the sweet corn icecream. The burrito bowl was so delicious! Loved the balance of the flavors. I also asked for the peach habanero salsa on the side and omg, it was really spicy but in a good way. The peach and habanero work really well together. The icecream was too cute to eat. It literally looked like a real corn on the cob. The attention to detail on the icecream is impeccable. I love the fact that the icecream also comes with crushed cookie toppings, coconut flakes and chocolate syrup. Truly impressed with the food! read more

Very quick service and ordering was super quick on the self-service kiosks! Lunch and dinner comes with rice and beans. I ordered the nachos which tasted so amazing, with fresh guacamole and pico de gallo! You can choose to add a protein as well for an additional ~$2 and can choose between the regular nacho cheese or mozzarella. Personally, these nachos fit the craving I had and made me wanting more! Definitely coming back next time I have an itch for nachos or affordable tacos or burritos! read more

Been here a couple times and the food is good but nothing special. The restaurant is close to Wrigley Field, so it's a good place for a quick meal before or after a baseball game. The restaurant is a bit small but I didn't have a problem getting a table. Decorations are nice and there was Mexican music playing. However, they tried to charge for a cup of water even after I bought a meal. read more

La Mexicana Grill is the real deal! We live in the area and decided to walk over today to grab lunch to-go. When you walk in, there are a few tables lined up to dine it and then the kitchen. There is a piece of plexiglass up protecting the employees and the delicious food they're cooking up. Everyone is wearing masks too, of course, but I appreciated this additional safety precaution. The menu is hanging above where you order and is easy to read. There area lot of options including tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and even burrito bowls that look very similar to Chipotle! I decided to go with something I know and love, a quesadilla. To spice it up from the ol' tortilla and cheese, I added steak and fajita vegetables. We grabbed some chips & salsa to take home with us too! The food was ready in about 5 minutes, and despite the cold and windy weather, everything was still hot (and packaged nicely) by the time we made it home. My quesadilla was so dang yummy! The steak was cooked and seasoned nicely and wasn't soggy like they can sometimes be when you get them to go. They provided sour cream, guacamole, and verde salsa along with it. Our chips and salsa came with a large portion of salsa that we ended up popping in our fridge and I'm sure we'll use it up this week. The chips weren't the best I've had, but I almost always have tortilla chips on handy, so it was no biggie. Can't wait to come back! La Mexicana has a good thing goin. read more

Service was welcoming and quick. Steak tacos with onion and cilantro were delicious. Salsa and chips had a good kick to it. However, the rice and beans were average; I wouldn't get them again. There was a good amount of available seating, and the music was enjoyable. read more

The ice cream desserts are all I'm reviewing. They're excellent!! Really really really rontilly good!! Of course I'm a sugar addict who loves icee cream. And anything fried. But as I rate five stars generally ONLY, I will say that I mostly just like desert here, and it's totally five full, round and FAT, stars. read more

Great location in Lakeview near Wrigley but the food is just ok. I had the taco salad with shrimp. The toppings were good but the shrimp was very bland. The salsas were also bland and the consistency was almost sticky. They did honor the free small chips and guac with Yelp check in so that was appreciated and enjoyed! Glad I tried but would not rush back. read more

We ordered for delivery and our food got delivered pretty quick. Delicious steak tacos and spicy salsa. The portions size of the nachos was humongous. Definitely a shareable plate between a couple of people. The place hits the spot when you're craving Mexican food. read more

Solid consistency, tasty food, clean establishment. Great for delivery or Togo. Not a great date spot unless you need a great post date hangover prevention. read more

Mixed thoughts. Service is always really nice! But the food is hit and miss. I appreciate the vegetarian options and the Cali burrito is good. Their salsas are great and spicy. I ordered recently and got the taco dinner (tofu) with rice and beans. The tofu was so salty it was almost inedible. And the rice and beans :( no flavor. Tasted like minute rice. Beans tasted like they came straight out of a can. Really disappointing. I want to love this spot for its convenience but it's really got to up its quality. read more

Check this place out for some straight up classic just how they should be nachos. My friend got shrimp tacos & they were crispy from the veggies and nice & juicy from the shrimp. Tore this meal up!! Would definitely stop by again. read more

The food was delicious. The service was quick. The prices were fair. And the restaurant was clean.

I ordered La Mexicana Grill through Uber Eats and was really impressed! They have a large menu with the typical Mexican fare- tacos, burritos, nachos, fajitas. We went with the surf and turf burrito and the steak taco dinner. Portions were good and food was very fresh and delicious. The verde salsa was great and had a slight kick. The only thing I didn't like was the rice- it tasted strongly like plain white rice and had zero flavor. I will definitely order from La Mexicana again the next time I'm craving tacos!! read more

This has been one of our favorite go-to places for late night tacos for years. Highly recommend, always exactly what we're looking for

We walked in with a party of 5 and ordered many tacos. Also, thanks to Yelp, I checked in and received a free order of chips, guacamole, and salsa. Our order was precise, and tacos tasted delicious. The tacos came with a light red salsa that tasted great if you're a spice lover like I am, and the green salsa was milder. I ordered two al pastor tacos, one carnitas, and one steak taco. All of the tacos were delicious with tender meat that was flavorful. This is definitely a spot we will be visiting the next time we're in Wrigleyville for a Cubs game. Lastly the service was great as the lady who took our order was pleasant and the cooks got our order done quickly on a busy taco Tuesday. As for the place itself, it is smaller inside but we still sat down and ate inside. Great place for a quick bite before game time. Enjoy! read more

Wow wow!!! So amazing! These tacos hit home! When I crave some Mexican food I want something that takes me back. I order two green tamales, dos tacos al pastor and dos de carne asada con salsa verde. Las tortillas bien suavecitas y calientes. La asada bien tender and easy is to eat. On the other hand al pastor was my favorite. The meat full of flavor. The food was so fresh I can't say too much on service since I did Uber eats . read more

Best Mexican food in all of Chicago! Fresh ingredients and JJ the owner is extremely friendly and takes pride in his craft. Check them out!

Ordered dinner from here using Grubhub. The food was prepared very quick, arrived in like half an hour. We got quesadillas, taco salad, and churros. Everything was tasty, will be ordering from here again! read more

Let me start with 3 complaints about my world. 1) Most Mexican food restaurants in our rotation send us stale chips. 2) Or we're sent way too few chips. 3) My 8 yr old daughter is boring. My theory is that most restaurants are saving their fresh chips for their in-restaurant diners. They also give them basket after basket. Why the disservice to the delivery orders? I'm not sure. Out of sight, out of mind? Regardless, I feel like most of our mexican take out orders suffer from a bunch of stale chips and there's barely any of them. Order "salsa plus chips" and "guacamole plus chips". Good luck getting 2 orders of chips. So it is of incredible surprise that our delivery order of La Mexicana Grill came with so many chips! We've got chips for days. Fresh. Tasty. Huge props to this place. Next, I'm constantly on the lookout for a good chimichanga. I know I know. Not the healthiest option on the menu. But it's been a rough week. And they have a fantastic one here. Let's get to my boring kid. All she'll eat at a Mexican restaurant is quesadillas. And she often barely touches them. But she had a single bite of my steak chimichanga, and now she's obsessed. So thank you La Mexicana Grill for opening her eyes to something else on the menu that can get her attention. To her credit too, she didn't even get quesadillas this time around and enjoyed one of their shrimp bowls. Everything from La Mexicana Grill was delicious. This will be a regular place now in our rotation. And I'm looking forward to ordering again. read more

Im honestly taken aback by my last experience here. This was my go to Mexican take out place until recently when I was delivered food that was covered in mold. Truthfully I can't even begin to comprehend how this was even sent to me looking the way it did, clearly covered in green mold. It was such a negative experience that it now makes me question the sanitation and food safety practices of the whole restaurant. What a shame, sadly would not recommend this place to anyone. read more
