I go to Ochoa's for lunch when I have to work at an office. This place is great! Prices are fair, but most importantly, the food is excellent. Very authentic, and can't find another place that can top this place. My Mexican friends love this place too, so if the real Mexicans like the food, it must be real and authentic! read more

As I've said before we have so many good Mexican restaurants near us. I thought a different one was the best, but now that I've been back to Ochoa's, without a doubt Ochoa's is the best. Fabulous food and super friendly service. #iraeats #iraeats1 read more

Ochoa's Mexican Grill - Skirt Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

Ive been here several times now for lunch during work. It's a smaller restaurant but plenty of seats and tables inside. Parking is easy as it's located in a strip mall with plenty of spaces. It can get busy around 12PM. Food wise, it's ok, portions are generous. However carne asada is a little dry and cut into tiny pieces. Not my favorite cut of beef, this isn't some juicy outside skirt steak you get at some places. The al pastor is better for sure. A burrito or taco dinner with no drinks will run you about $20 so it's in line with most places as far as pricing is concerned maybe slight pricey for the type of joint this is. No free chips and salsa its a express shit down and go spot.I wish they had free water but they don't. Service is pretty good, they like to bring the food out to your table after you order but don't give you a number and on several occasions they have walked around asking if this your food. Just make it more efficient and give out numbers! Ive also had orders taken incorrectly. Co worker ordered taco dinner, I heard him, and just tacos came. When he asked about it the cashier was like "No you didn't but I'll get it for you", I know he did cause I was right there. Same happened to me, they always make it right but with comment like it's the customers fault. Take accountability guys. Overall the place is good and with small changes it can be much better. 1. Provide free water 2. Better skirt steak 3. Give numbers read more

Got Ochoa's Mexican Grill for delivery and made a few customization requests (like no cilantro, add limes, etc) and they handled it perfectly. I got exactly what I ordered. And the one thing they couldn't do, they left me a note explaining. Great service! The food was tasty too! Skirt steak tacos are the best in the area! Fish tacos are good also for a change of pace. Recommend!! read more

I went to Ochoa's Mexican Grill with some friends to celebrate Taco Tuesday. They have a special discount on Tuesdays: one dollar off tacos. It was a pretty good deal. Other places have a limited set of tacos available to order with a special price. My husband and I decided to get six tacos and try a variety of flavors. Once we ordered the tacos they were served pretty fast. Ochoa's can handle a high volume of orders. We got the chicken, ground beef, birria, shrimp, carnitas, and steak tacos. Aside from the shrimp, all of the tacos tasted the same. Not only were they indistinguishable but they were severely under-seasoned. The restaurant was nice, we could sit and talk for a while. read more

So, after our baseball game, we hit up this Mexican place for dinner. It's kind of a self serve situation, you order and pay first, then grab a table. It was pretty busy, lots of to-go orders flying around. Weirdly, they had a Bollywood channel playing on the TV not exactly what you'd expect in a Mexican restaurant! But the food? Oh man, the food was amazing! Great portions, too. We grabbed some horchata only one size, and it was already poured into cups and chilling in the fridge. A little unusual, I usually see it in a big container, but whatever! I got the loaded fries seriously addictive, huge portion! I also tried an asada taco, but the meat was a little...off. The chorizo taco was okay, but could have used a bit more cooking. The real star was the California burrito with skirt steak. It's a couple of bucks extra, but totally worth it so tender and juicy! And those fries inside? Flavor explosion in your mouth! We also got a lengua gordita. The gordita dough was perfect nice and soft, not hard at all. The lengua was tender, although the slices were a bit big for me. Still delicious though! The quesobirria we got three pieces was also great, especially with the consomé. Honestly, the loaded fries were better than any Chipotle bowl I've ever had! They also do a burrito bowl version if fries aren't your thing.The owners were super friendly and checked on us a few times. Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

I've been enjoying a variety of authentic Mexican food from Ochoa's for several years. But something new prompted me to follow-up my earlier review. Ochoa's now offers home made ceviche. It was so delicious and reminded me of sitting in a beach side restaurant in Mexico! Try it...you'll love it too! read more

I got there about 10 minutes before closing and they were nice enough to still serve me. I ordered the surf and turf bowl and man was it good! It was packed with fresh ingredients; it had so much meat in it that I think it had more than the rice! I'll definitely be back. read more

Food still good like the last couple of times I went. Service and staff were friendly. Only small thing was the guacamole was kinda bland, but with the flick of the wrist and a salt shaker, it was good. I like the guacamole being chunky, which I found to be the case here. read more

My husband and I shared the chicken nachos and they filled us up quickly. The chicken is delicious: flavorful and juicy. My husband also had a chicken taco and was stuffed afterwards. The Mexican corn was spicy, but full of flavor. The staff was super nice and helpful. You can tell they really care about their customers and food. We have a good friend from Mexico who recommended this place to us, so you KNOW it is legit! read more

Overall the flavors were spot on. We've ordered before several times and have always been happy. We've still ate but...This time, however, they neglected to add those small salsa cups. Was it because I ordered chops & salsa? Maybe. But even that was just "meh"- there was the smallest side of salsa I've ever seen. I won't order that again... read more

6.5/10- Decent I ordered from Uber Eats, explicitly requesting a Chicken burrito bowl with guacamole on the side and no sour cream. The eatery was closed on Sundays, so I planned to enjoy my meal the following day for lunch. Overall, I found the portion of the bowl to be generous. Although it was more expensive than a standard chicken chipotle bowl in my area, it was worth it because they provided more chicken and avocado for free. However, I noticed there weren't many beans in the bowl, which is my favorite part of a burrito bowl, and the chicken lacked flavoring. Although I cannot deduct points, the seasoning was insufficient, and the chicken tasted like it was boiled. Despite the chicken not having much taste, I enjoyed the experience overall. I would be willing to try this eatery again, perhaps with the surf and turf variety or another meal. While the chicken may not have been up to par, the other dish elements shone through. Maybe the bird isn't the word around these parts. read more

Really excellent food. We've visited a few times over the last few months. The owner suggested a few items on the menu and the first meal didn't disappoint. Every bite was tasty and wonderful. Last night, based a suggestion from Arthur, we tried Skirt steak Al pastor-Spicy. Oh la la :) it was fantastic. We only write about great finds. This is one. read more

Seating is limited. Horchata is made up as medium size and sitting in the cooler for grab and go. It was very good with an aftertaste of cinnamon. My pork enchiladas with green sauce were tasty but the pork was portioned out for tacos meaning no bigger chunks. The verde sauce had good flavor and the corn tortillas they were served in were browned nicely before rolling them into the dish. The refried beans were a little thick in consistency for my liking and the rice was just fair. Sine this was my first visit I also ordered chips and salsa. My chips were made at time of order and were excellent as was the salsa which was blended well but thick in consistency. The salsa had nice heat and worth adding the calories with the chips to my meal read more

Ochoa's Mexican Grill - Was a Steak Burrito... - Mexican Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

Personally the asada looked and tasted wierd. Customers service was great and nice interior.

Not sure how it took me so long to check this place out, as I heard great things about it and they delivered to expectations. One of the things to note is that prices look a little higher than what you might see at Chipotle or other Mexican restaurants, however what is not clear is the generous portions of meat, guacamole (at no extra charge) and quality of the cooking you get here makes this an excellent value. The al pastor burrito bowl was heavy on meat and vegetables and a bit lighter on rice. The meat was marinated very well and seared nicely. The combination of the tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, and onions actually worked quite well to temper down the saltiness of the meat and create a delicious bite. The steak nachos were great, and a very good deal at the price. The chips are fried very nicely and were strong enough to hold the generous amount of toppings in this dish. I loved the taste and creamy texture of the guacamole here, which tied everything together very nicely. The caramel churros are delicious here as well, with a nice crispy/crunchy yet chewy dough that holds in the delicious caramel center in very nicely. The cinnamon helps to elevate the aromatic combination and make this a treat that's definitely worth the cost. Overall, simply delicious, fast, and cost efficient. Definitely recommend visiting this location if you want well executed Mexican food. read more

We ordered Ochoas for delivery. We tried the birria tacos with consome and hot Cheetos burrito with camphechano (hot spicy steak and Al pastor). The food arrived quick and still hot. Birria tacos - the consome was delicious and done right. However, my husband and I both found the tacos to be a little dry. We expected the birria meat in the tacos to be full of flavor and drench with sauce. But if you dip the taco into the consome and leave it in there for several minutes then you'll have yourself a juicy tender birria taco. I can't say that it was the best birria tacos I've had but it was decent. How Cheetos burrito with camphechano. I loved that they had this unique option of campechano. Which is a mix of hot spicy steak and Al pastor. The burrito was unique that it had hot Cheetos in the burrito which added another layer of flavor and crunch! I will warn you though - this burrito with the campechano was spicy! However all the flavors were delicious! You won't find a burrito like this one anywhere else. I appreciated all the unique options ochoas provided from birria tacos to the hot cheese is campechano. They also have California style burritos with French fries inside on their menu. If you're looking for a unique style burrito this is the place to go! read more

Service was great! I wasn't able to get the name of the cashier at the front, but he was very helpful at helping my family and I choose what to eat! We kept asking him questions about what he likes, how the meat is cooked, and how the meals are prepared. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and encouraged us to try everything and anything! The food came quick and it was great! The meat was soooo good!!!! I'm visiting Illinois for the first time and the Mexican food here is so good!! The artwork in the shop is cute. It's clean and it's spacious. I would come back here if I were to visit Chicago again! read more

Ordered the chicken flautas and chicken fajitas over the phone for takeout. Food was ready quickly and hot however taste was alright. Neither dishes were anything special and the beans especially were not great. Furthermore, they charged 3 dollars extra for sour cream which I wasn't informed of. Overall, not my favorite place for hispanic food, might just stick to chipotle read more

I ordered on DoorDash. It was packaged well and hot. The Quesabirrias were just ok. They absorbed a lot of oil from frying and the Consome was flavorful but more watery than I prefer. The chips were fresh and delicious. The salsa was half full and seemed old. The salsa verde was not tomatillo-based but had a creamy avocado base that lacked heat and salt. Don't waste your money on the ketchup-cup side of grilled onions. The grilled peppers were sold by the piece and were good. I thought the steak burrito bowl would be a healthier alternative to a burrito. The pictures of the steak I saw looked great, but what I received looked like ground beef, lots of melted cheese beans and rice in a pool of oil at the bottom. I was starving, so I ate half of the top and trashed it after the photo. read more
