Was in the area looking to try a new taco spot and El Mezcal popped up on yelp so I gave it a try…read more I called in and my order was ready in no more than 10 minutes. I ordered the taco dinner which came with a chorizo,pastor, and carne asada taco all with cilantro and onion along with beans and rice. Chorizo had a great spice level and crisp. Pastor had a nice balance of sweet and spicy. Carne asada was alright. The beans and rice were an afterthought. Very friendly staff when I walked in and a very chill vibe. If you're in the area looking to try a new spot El Mezcal is it!

We ended up at Lucky Burrito/Cantina because my brother wanted to check it out. He'd driven past it…read morea few times and thought it might be good since the parking lot is always full. We stopped in on a random Thursday night to find the bar area empty. That didn't deter us, so we took a seat. The bar area is spacious and comfortable. There's a nice sized-bar in the back and video game terminals (slot machines) up front. Our server, Eddie, was really nice. He was friendly and attentive. He offered suggestions on the food, and the bartender, Josh, didn't skimp on the alcohol while making our cocktails. I had the taco platter, which comes with rice and beans. The rice was a little dry but not too bad. I liked the refried beans. I had the carne asada, pastor, and barbacoa tacos. I liked the barbacoa best. The pastor and carne asada were okay. My friend had the burrito. He said it was really good and very filling. My brother had the birria (beef), which he loved. He also had horchata, which he also enjoyed. The chips were warm and fresh, but the salsa was just okay. It was a little spicy for a few people at the table. I had a strawberry margarita, which was fantastic. I also had a Mexican Coke. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their (alcoholic) beverages as well. The bill ended up being around $130 for the four of us. The service was top-notch. Both Eddie and Josh were awesome! My brother and I actually went back for lunch a few days later. It was only $30 for the two of us. Overall, the experiences were enjoyable. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

The food wasn't good at all. I ordered a half gallon of red pozole, a cheese quesadilla and rice…read more The meat in the pozole was super chewy and all fat. The flavor wasn't good. The cheese quesadilla was over cooked and the cheese was super thick. Only good thing was the Mexican rice. The service was good but food sucked.

I always give places 3 or 4 tries before writing a review and this place has been cheap every time…read more They charge a lot for a taco and don't fill it with meat and the steak is fatty. They charge 13.99 for birria ramen (which prob costs $1) and there's 4 shreds of meat and the rest cheap noodle. Today I got a quesadilla on the side (2.99!) and it's just sad. I took a picture. It's only the size of 2 salsa cups and empty inside. It's a huge rip off and they know they're being skimpy. Mark up on Mexican food is outrageous but at least the good places give you full portions. Red salsa was great. Green was too watery and no flavor. I'll stick to the the other taco spots. I really did give them a fair chance.

My taco standards are high because I lived in LA for 13 years. My aunt got the ground beef burrito dinner. She enjoyed it and had leftovers. I ordered two chicken and one steak taco. I loved the chicken tacos. I got mine with lettuce and tomato. And there were chips on the table that came with a saucy salsa. They also had Dr Pepper which is a major plus in my book. They would have been five stars in my eyes. But today, I came back craving tacos. I had been released from the hospital and all I wanted were these tacos. We looked up their hours on Yelp. It said they'd be open until 4. I called ahead to try to place a pickup order. I called for 15 minutes straight. No one picked up the phone. They also don't have an accurate menu anywhere listed online. All the Yelp menus are over 8 years old. Well we arrived before 4 and the door was locked. There were people inside eating and they just stared at us. It just left a bad taste in my mouth so I won't be coming back. You have hours and a phone for a reason.

If I'm looking to feed a lot of ppl for cheaper maybe I'll come here. I ordered 10 chicken tacos with cilantro and cheese which turned out to be 2.75 per taco before tax; other places about 4 per taco, which is crazy expensive! Come on taco Tuesday, They had taco Tuesday when I went! If you are looking for a more authentic flavor, I suggest venturing out to Blue Island, places near Midway, Chicago Heights, etc., where the clientele require restaurants to prepare authentic Mexican cuisine.

Excellent food, great service. Will recommend to all. The freshness of the food is spectacular.....read more
