Locally owned and operated by an amazing family. They have an odd system for ordering food and cocktails. It works fine once you know the system. Delicious homemade Mexican food, no frills. Nice interior and outdoor seating. Had a steak quesadilla and steak tacos with rice. Eat local. read more

Burrito was good but the tacos were great. Cool spot to stop in for a quick bite or drink. We were able to sit outside on a nice day and that made it even better. The Al pastor is a must order! read more

Worst experience ever. I asked for a cup of water and tried to sell it to me. I told them i was going to eat outside after paying they told me to wait inside cause i would never when the food would be done. But they brought salsa and napkins outside but not my food. Service is trash! After spending $80 read more

I love a local taco spot and Martinez delivers on that. I only managed to get a photo of my friend's chicken taco because I devoured my steak and twister taco. DELICIOUS! The service was lovely. It's giving mom and pop shop. I like the chill vibe and we devoured those tacos . read more

I have had this place bookmarked for a while and I finally went. I will preface and say I never crave a burrito, so the appeal of their burritos weren't as strong to me. But it was yummy and if you like a burrito, you probably will like this place. They were pricier than I expected but we had a yummy time after doing some dancing nearby at the Co-prosperity Sphere. read more

I came to visit one of my best girlfriends for the 1st time, and she said she knows a dope spot to get tacos. A woman after my heart. So we walked a couple blocks to Martinez. It wasn't really anyone there which wasn't an issue to me. But it had a few people. The place has the register up front. Bar to the front left at the entrance. Food and market items to the back. We placed our orders and it was simple and easy. Food came out fairly quickly. Everything tasted fresh and handmade! My favorite kind of Mexican cuisine! The corn tortillas definitely were pressed same day. I ordered 3 asada tacos and 1 chicken tamale. They had pork but it was sold by the bunch which was 6, and since it was my 1st time there I didn't want that many. The Asada taco was sooo juicy and they were not stingy with the meat. I wasn't disappointed with the flavors. The tamale was good but a little bit on the dryer side. However, I really liked the green chili inside with the chicken, and I could tell that was fresh too. I gave them a 5 start because the service was great neighborhood service that I appreciate. We ordered two guava margaritas with tajin rim and baayyybaayyy, FIRE! I would come back for that alone and the local conversation. Our bartender let us know the margaritas was the "Ms Martinez Remedy," because she made it from scratch. Guava juiced that day. It was so on par for the fact that I know the hand corn tortillas and tamales were too! We talked to Ms Martinez and she gave me a feeling of home cause she was the sweetest and most relaxed woman. She checked on us and made sure everything was to our liking. Definitely coming back for more before I leave town. read more

This was ridiculous. I came here during my work break and order TWO quesadillas with only cheese and steak. It took 40+ minutes!! Never coming back here they don't respect their customers and they laughed at me. Bathroom was gross too! This place will never get a single one of my hard earned dollars again. read more

The burrito was really good. The salsa was also really good. I'd definitely go back. Service was quick and very friendly. I love that they have a parking lot. read more

Had to come and try the big baby burrito. I have to say this is probably one of the best burritos I've ever had. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could have this every week. The steak was unmatched. I've never had better steak in my life. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be stopping by for another burrito. Martinez also offers a Tuesday Taco special which includes three tacos of your choice for around $10. read more

Excellent service, almost as great as the burritos taste! Bought 6 baby burritos and 1 big baby. Took me two hours to eat my big baby and my family couldn't help but not leave left overs. Cant wait to return read more

About the overcharging: I read many other reviews of overcharged customers. (they gave less or- zero stars) So I'm taking off another star. I used to like getting food here, a local family establishment, but it's a shame when a small business feels entitled to rip off their customers. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more

This place is awesome. I usually get tacos or the burrito but I decided to get pozole on a Saturday. I got the half gallon ($16.99) with the garnish ($4.99). The employees are so attentive and ask if you've been helped. I took my pozole to go and the half gallon is well served. My only complaint is that the pozole was a little bland. It was missing a certain flavor. I don't know if it was oregano that was missing or a little chile. I wish I had bought some lime too because that would have helped. The garnish comes with toasted chiles de árbol, onion, cilantro, and cabbage. Next time I go I will try the carnitas, they only have them on Sundays. read more

This is the second time coming to this place to try their food. We had the burrito for the first time, it's heavily pack and the chicken is well marinated however the tortilla is a little bit too much for me. The second time we got the taco dinner. Love the chicken again but not a fan with the bean and rice. The menu is big will come back to try other dish. There is a parking lot. This place is very unique where you can shop and eat at the same time. Very friendly employee. read more

Do you think you could finish a 2 foot, 7 pound burrito?? We tried to finish it at Martinez Bar & Grill in Chicago, Illinois! This spot is known around the US for serving up massive and delicious burritos. Martinez Bar & Grill serves homemade guacamole and chips, tasty tacos, delicious salsas, sides, and more. If you are looking for a Taco Tuesday special in Chicago, Martinez Bar & Grill has a 3 for $10.99 special! There is a full bar inside of the restaurant offering up fun drinks too! While you are there, check out some of the products, drinks, produce, and snacks that are available for purchase. I was in there for a while looking at the packaged Hispanic snacks and foods! If I lived in Chicago, I would visit this spot very frequently. Make sure to check out Martinez Bar & Grill and see if you can finish the 2 foot burrito! read more

Amazing food and service. Had the steak burrito again. Wonderful. Best burrito in Chicago. The only fault was in the service as no one came to check if everything was OK or not. Everything was fine, they just did not check. read more

Martinez Supermarket - Skirt steak burrito, no sour cream. Awesome quality. It's probably the best burrito ever or at least one of the best. - Grocery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I stopped by yesterday to have a steak burrito,that was $18 bucks! Anyway the thing was huge. I could have got the same meatless burrito anywhere else. I was disappointed and not to mention the service was slow and the older gentleman acts like the place is serving up the best in the area. Not at all. read more

I REALLY wanted to give this place five stars but the service was all over the place and supper slow. I do love how it's a bar, restaurant and mini market all in one. They have multiple TVs on the same program and they all have delays. They really could leave the sound on for one TV. Now the food....One of the best and freshest burritos I've had...ever! Even the French Fries were good and fresh. It was 3 of us and we are off the Big Baby Burrito and still had left overs. The soft drinks and water are pricey. read more

Overall a good experience for my first time but I was a little confused with how the bar worked. I wanted a drink made at the bar and instead I was referred to order a drink from the cooler and that they were the same thing. I wanted to sit at the bar and waited for a bartender but it took almost 15 mins. I was also informed of counter service instead of me sitting and having a waitress. Food was good and so was the aesthetic and ambiance. read more

I saw some pictures and the food looked good but don't let the pictures fool you. I ate two steak tacos and they were not good. I had not ate all day so I finished them. The Alpastor taco was absolutely disgusting beyond believe. Never in my life had I had to spit the food out of my mouth on to napkin. The service at this place is probably one of the worst I had ever experienced. I sat down at the bar and after 15 minutes I had to go by the kitchen to ask them for a beer. I was told to just get it myself. Which I did, while I was eating and drinking my self service beer the lady tried to charge me 4 times to the point that I had to ask her if she was trying to kick me out. read more

Ok so this was our second time visiting this restaurant and let me tell you the prices just hit the roof, stopped over after a baseball game and we had one baby steak burrito, a total of 8 tacos 4 steak, 2 carnitas and 2 shrimp tacos. 2 large horchatas, 1 Mexican coke the big one and two margaritas and I left 35% tip and I was hit with $181.00, oh wait and a medium guacamole and chips. The steak tacos were salty my carnitas tacos salty and dry, my son burrito was ok not like other times and the shrimp tacos omg they shouldn't sell shrimp tacos. Service change probably after they seen how much tip I left. Oh and then I decided to check my receipt because while I was eating I was still thinking why $181 for just this and yes I was charge for 8 extra tacos that the people in front of me order. So my daughter didn't like the shrimp tacos so I order we two extra tacos and I order my self a chile relleno taco....oh my god $8.50 for a small chile taco cheese what cheese. I know prices have gone up but come on this is crazy. Last time I visit this place. I knew I should have just kept driving to Pacos tacos. read more

When they say a baby steak burrito they mean the size of an infant! It was massiveeeeeeee!!! I was throughly pleased! It can easily feed 2-3 people. My daughter and son LOVED it!!!! I have heard about this place and I have been wanting to try them out. I finally did yesterday!! They are on GrubHub, so I was excited! I ordered the Baby Steak Burrito everything with extra cheese and avocado, and an order of rice. My steak meat was succulent and delish. I asked for extras and they didn't cheat me on the extras. I was given lots of avocado and cheese. I had enough avocado to eat along side my rice. The rice had kidney beans in it. It was flavorful! It reminded me Puertorican style rice but instead of gandules it had red beans. Delish!!!!! My gargantuan burrito came with a hot red sauce that will choke you out.....that's how I like it and a milder green salsa! Everything was very good! Slay in the kitchen Martinez Supermarket!! I will order from you again very soon!!!!!! read more

Insane burritos, overall really good. Counter service spot with a bar to enjoy some cervesas

These burritos are no joke! They're large and in charge and packed with flavor. I would be highly impressed to see someone fit this beast in their mouth for a bite with everything in it. Would be very, very impressed. The meat was so flavorful, juicy and tender, the oils were just oozing into all the other components. It was delicious. I appreciated the ratio of rice to lettuce to meat as it was all pretty equal. The burrito is then pressed on the grill for a nice crunch on the tortilla. So good. Highly recommend. Great for sharing. read more

I had the regular burrito (this thing is MASSIVE!), and if you get this and somehow manage to fit most of it in your stomach, be prepared to wear your comfy pants for a few hours afterwards and enter into a food coma. The burrito is amazing and prepared fresh but it is a commitment. Instead of going alone, consider partnering with a buddy for the burrito or planning to save half for later. If you're a local, they do also have a small grocery selection in addition to their prepared meals, kind of like a bodega style selection. It is certainly not as robust of a selection as a larger grocery story, but does the job if you need to pick something up quick in the neighborhood! read more

I tried this place for first time today and the steak is incredible here. Very tender and not dried out. More of a restaurant/bar than supermarket. Baby burrito is huge. Definitely good for 2 meals. Need to come back and try the pozole! read more

Who would have thought that Martinez Supermarket had some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while? The restaurant/bar is a hidden gem that you'll want to check out. Leave your expectations at the door, this is nothing fancy but the food is superb. The potato taco was surprisingly good and the chicken torta....OMGOSH, the best over ever had. Both were so flavorful! HUGE portions, I was only able to eat 1/4 of the chicken torta and a bite of the potato taco. Weird: The one bathroom didn't have a mirror. read more

This place is one of the best places I've been in Chicago. Honestly, 6 stars. All the way to the top. One of, if not the, best burritos I have ever had. It was A) bigger than my head B) grilled on the outside C) so full of deliciousness...I could only eat about half...who am I kidding, I hammered it. Dont recommend unless you want to be full for a day straight. This place can be slow. So, order ahead for pick-up. The waits for ordering at the counter can add up. Close to 30 minutes if you go during prime time. The place is grocery mart too, so get a few of the small things you forgot you needed. Hello six-pack for the road!! read more

I really like the atmosphere here. They've managed to maintain the "supermarket" feel, and the restrooms are clean, which is important to me. It seems like a well-kept place. The service was okay. It was a bit confusing to figure out where to place a takeout order, but I'm guessing dining in would be a different experience. As for the food, I tried the steak, and while I would have preferred a different cut of meat, I really enjoyed the flavor and authenticity of it. Overall, it's a good place to stop by and give it a try! read more

If you want some tasty delicious tacos this is the place for you. This place is a small Mexican supermarket, they sell some vegetables, and plenty Spanish food products. When you walk towards the back you can order tacos, burritos, tamales, etc. You can take it to go or eat there. I had two steak tacos and 1 pastor taco that comes with Onions and Cilantro, and I added cheese and sour cream. Wow!!! What a burst of flavors. The steak and the Pastor were very well seasoned and full of flavor. The cheese they use is so good. I am not sure what kind of cheese they use but is not the usual cheese I am used to getting on my tacos when I go to other Mexican restaurants. This place is truly a gem for great Mexican food. It is really good. read more
