    Chimichanga
    Matthew B.

    We love this place. There's a small place to eat, service is quick and friendly, but we usually get it to go or delivered. Everything is good, but the fresh salsa and a shrimp chimichanga with bacon are my go-to's.

    Was given chicken instead of steak
    Kaela W.

    Ordered steak enchilada with ranchera sauce. I was given chicken instead of steak and I don't think there was even any sauce on it at all. It was so bland and incredibly disappointing. Only thing giving 2 starts is the soup was incredible.

    craft taco lunch: Baja Fish Taco, Grilled Shrimp Taco

    Overall Thoughts: I ordered pickup from Mixteco Grill, and not only does the food come out within minutes, it's also strikingly delicious, flavorful, and priced fairly. When you order pickup on their website, you can also opt to use either their 10% coupon or spin to win a free appetizer. I'm generally not a big takeout person, but this is definitely a top spot that I'll order from again in the future-- I'm eager to try more of their menu! Food I tried: - Craft Taco Lunch Special-- Baja Fish & Grilled Shrimp Tacos (4.7/5): These 2 tacos were fire. The sauces were sharp and creamy, and the fish/shrimp were fresh, bursting with flavor, and really just melted in the mouth. - Tofu Fire Quesadilla (4.7/5): Although I can't say I've had too many quesadillas in my life, this was among the best I've ever had-- especially for a tofu quesadilla, which is rarely amazing in my experience. This tofu was well-seasoned though, and packed with rich, savory flavor. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5 Food: 4.7/5 Ambience: N/A Takeout Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.6/5

    Fire Grilled Quesadilla with chicken, Fried-Shrimp Taco, Salsa Fresca and Chips, Queso Dip
    Erik B.

    A big quesadilla sounded good for dinner but I didn't want to give the usual big places more money so I did a quick search and came across this Tex-Mex restaurant that has been around for a little while but only just opened their second location in Noble Square last year. This was my first time trying Mixteco and it was a very pleasant experience. I got the Fire-Grilled Quesadilla with grilled chicken, a fried shrimp taco and a side of chips with their salsa Fresca as well as some queso dip. The chips are a very good extra thin style with nice flavor that taste great with both the salsa they come with and the queso dip. It's like a better tasting Chili's chips and salsa. In fact all of the salsas I tasted had very nice flavors to them including the salsa verde and spicy habanero that comes inside of the fire-grilled quesadillas. I appreciate that they offer several types of quesadillas that all come with a small side of guacamole and sour cream. The shrimp taco had two huge breaded shrimps that were perfectly crispy and well-seasoned and the aioli, pickled onions and cole slaw that came on top were delicious. A great value at only $5.25. A few tips: 1) go to their website if you're going to be ordering to go as they had an introductory offer of free regular size chips and salsa. 2) keep an eye on the estimated order ready time. I ordered for pickup around 9pm and got a confirmation saying my food would be ready in 5 mins. Luckily I was close by and had already started walking to the car when I placed the order. The meal was bagged and ready to go when I got to Noble and Division about 7 minutes later. Staff was very friendly and although empty the interior of the restaurant actually looked rather nice for a fast-casual spot. Smelled great inside of there and I was fighting not to add more to my order after seeing several other delicious menu items like burritos, nachos and other tacos being boxed/bagged up. In the end I'm glad I did not as the portion sizes were large. I'm very happy I didn't just settle for anywhere and found Mixteco because I will definitely be coming back at some point.

    Azteca Burrito with carne asada , fried fish taco, and el pastor taco
    Angela Y.

    This's our first time trying this place, you order it from the register and they bring it to your table. The inside is very clean, and the food came really fast. We got the azteca burrito with carne asada, a fish taco ( opted for battered fried fish) and el pastor taco. The burrito is a little too salty to our liking. The fish taco was good, it's fried perfectly and with the pico de gallo and pickled onions! And the el pastor taco has a little bit of pineapple which gives it a nice touch. They also have topo Chico which is a plus, that's my go to drink every time we go get tacos. If you are at any of the car dealerships nearby to get your car serviced, consider take a quick walk to this place for lunch/ snack.

    Baja Fish Taco - a la carte
    Faria M.

    Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by Mixteco Mexican Grill. To note: I'm a huge fan of Texmex & Mexican cuisine in general. I got to try out a couple of items on the menu, and I will definitely be back! This location is conveniently located in Wicker Park, and they also do delivery and takeout. The quality of everything was very fresh and all the portions here are huge (so you are getting the bang for your buck). I was recommended the quesadilla here, and it was delicious; but I HIGHLY recommend getting the guacamole (made fresh daily) and trying the street tacos --the Baja fish taco was my favorite. They also have dessert options like churros with chocolate sauce (very tasty). Overall: give this spot a try! Great takeout spot, but they also have a fairly large dining area too: Staff was very friendly and the food came out very fast and delicious.

    Honestly pretty good for a casual dinner. It's located in a slightly weird area (residential) so I feel like no one knows about it/there are rarely ever people there. The guac and chips are solid and the burrito was pretty good. It was also a decent price. Nothing life changing but also on the higher end of neighborhood taco places especially outside of Pilsen.

    Not bad for a work lunch. Will def order again. It arrived fresh and hot!!! Great flavors!

    Tortilla soup. SCRUMPTIOUS.

    This place is delicious. My best friend is Mexican and put me onto this place, now we eat here all the time. We actually just went to her Taco Tuesday birthday where we were happy to discover that Mixteco catered!!!

We've been in twice in the last 4-5 months, and I like the indoor-outdoor space on nicer days. The value proposition on this menu is terrible unless you come in for happy hour (4-6 PM), and even then, the appetizers are so tiny that they end up being food for one, not many. The margs aren't bad and the "pizzadillas" are the go-to for the group because that ends up being a decent deal when looking to entertain the group. I don't have any service issues, and Texan's location is perfect for "let's start here then go down the street." And, at 4:30 or 5 PM, we haven't had an issue getting space for 10-12 very last minute, although I'm sure that will change over the summer. Average stuff, elevated by a big space.

I visited recently on a rainy day and noticed water leaking inside the building and by leaking I mean it was literally raining inside. Unfortunately, I remember seeing the same issue last summer, which is a bit concerning from a safety and upkeep standpoint there's literally wires and heaters the water is pouring out next to. The music was also extremely loud, making it difficult to have a conversation, and the sound quality from the speakers was not very clear felt like listening to nails on a chalkboard. On a positive note, the service was excellent. The drink selection is somewhat mediocre, but the draft margaritas are very good. The food menu is weird, those looking for more traditional tacos may not find them here. I think simple would get them a lot further.

The founders came from Guadalajara, Jalisco, and despite having no restaurant experience, opened what became one of Chicago's early spots for authentic Mexican cuisine. You can learn a lot about a Mexican restaurant from the chips and salsa. Are they unique and memorable, or just the same thing you've had a hundred times? Both were super tasty here, and the salsa packed some heat. We started with the Queso Fundido. You can never go wrong dipping chips into a skillet of bubbling hot cheese, except when you fail to let it cool and burn the roof of your mouth! I ordered the Arrachera XX, while my guests went with the Enchiladas Verdes and Taco Carta. My charbroiled skirt steak, marinated with XX Lager, was flavorful, tender and tasted incredibly authentic. I loved my Piña Poblano cocktail so much that I had to order a second and almost went for a third. The combination with pineapple-infused Pueblo Viejo Blanco was delicious, and the presentation looked as good as the drink tasted. The atmosphere adds to the experience. Between the colorful walls and tile floors, it feels a little like you've done some time travel to Guadalajara. Since Cafe El Tapatio is only three blocks from where we were visiting, I'm certain we'll be back to explore more of the menu.

I thought they were good, although I'm not sure, for the price, it was much better than any other Mexican restaurant. The steak, which had an extra cost, was just okay. The carnitas were good, and the Al Pastor was good, but not outstanding. The rice and beans were really outstanding and also a highlight of the meal. But, if fairness, good is still good. I plan to give this another try. I suspect if I order something different, given how good the service was, I'll be more pleased with the experience.
