    So glad we tried this Mexican restaurant. The salsa bar was soooo good. There are lots of choices for all different preferences. Our favorite was the pico de gallo with mango!! The inside is wood panel with lots of Mexican art and some historical reference photos. We split the chicken fajitas. The server split it into two separate dishes for us, lots of mixed peppers and onions with chicken breast. It comes with rice and beans as well as tortillas on the side but no avocado, sour cream, greens.

    Delicious, authentic Mexican and amazing service! Love this family run restaurant. Drinks were tasty too!

    Stopped in for Margaritas and Chips & Salsa. Great service! The Salsa Bar was very good - all made in house!

    Steak Birria Tacos with rice and beans

    Delicious birria tacos! They have a great selection of salsas to choose from, too. There's enough here to set them apart from other Mexican food in the area. You get what you pay for, but 4/5 because it seems they are pricier than other options for take-out.

    Strawberry margarita made to perfection

    Saturday 1/13/23 Today, my wife and I tried Moreno's for lunch. Upon walking in we were delighted by the rich, warm decor. We were seated at a booth and was greeted by the friendliest waitress named Claudia. Claudia gave us a basket of warmed chips and explained to us. We could help ourselves to the salsa bar which everything was homemade in house. For drinks, we ordered a mango margarita and a strawberry margarita and boy I tell you they were made to perfection. For lunch, my wife ordered a steak taco and a El Pastor taco, and for myself I had the Moreno's special. From the margaritas the salsa bar to our meals everything was absolutely wonderful. Moreno's is now one of our top two favorite Mexican restaurants, After coming back from the salsa bar, I had the opportunity to talk to the owner Eric who is also the chef, after talking to Eric for just a few moments, I knew instantly he was a chef, not just a cook that's why everything tasted so amazing, so if you are looking for a great place for a date or just for some good food and great service, I would highly recommend Moreno's The Food Dude

    al pastor burrito
    Julia S.

    i really wanted to like this place but was disappointed in their food. i got an al pastor burrito and it was honestly gross. dripping in grease and seriously lacking in flavor. i can appreciate a delicious, greasy al pastor burrito, but the grease in this just had no flavor. the meat was chewy and gristly. the rice was dry and bland. the refried beans were bland. the chips were good and the salsa bar was a good idea in theory, but the little bowls for the salsa are too small to properly dunk a chip into, which makes it hard to actually eat the chips and salsa. they also don't have a liquor license yet.

    Vegan options was a plain pizza with just vegan ricotta on it…read more the vegan ricotta was VERY sweet, like sugary. like a cake lol. I don't know how. I just eat and review it. For the $20+ pizza I wouldn't recommend. Glad they have options tho for everyone.

It's 4:30pm and when I walk in, it's not busy, and I'm asked if I have a reservation. I get it. You're cool and want me to notice. I'm seated in the corner next to a door that I'm assured won't be used while I'm here. (Spoiler alert - it was, in fact, used by patrons and staff alike.) But the menu looks amazing. We start with the toasted focaccia and whipped ricotta with honeycomb. It's good. Not the best I've ever had, but solid. The wood fired pizza is also good, but, again, not great. But solid. We decided not to linger and get drinks or dessert because the restaurant was filling up and it got loud fast. Really loud. Like, I need my check right now loud. Four stars because it was almost great, and I want to go back and try more of the things.

Tom's Place is certainly a throwback with the beers of yesteryear. Also it's cheap. You can get wasted on a few bucks it seems. Convenient location in the downtown area. It's next to the Metra station. There's also a ton of other bars around here but this beats all those. About the cheapest place for beers or anything. It's $2 to get Blatz. This is the only place I know that has it around here to be honest. Cheap but it's a good classic beer. It's $5 to get the cheapest cocktails such as Jager and Coke. They have no food except for popcorn. Got cheap beers and cocktails. It's known for the cool sign outside. The cooler thing is they actually have this classic beer, along with cheap ass liquor, and free popcorn, making this a must stop for locals, visitors, or whoever.

A local bar in its 101st year, from the preserved tin lined interior ceiling to the artisan made antique cabinetry, Tom's Place is a great place to spend some leisure time with friends. The best feature is the draft beer selection is dominated by domestic non-light lagers. Hamms, Schlitz, Old Style and PBR. Plus a terrific halftime charcoal BBQ lunch.
