The food was ok We walked in at 9 they closed at 10 and the guy with the mustache had an attitude when we walked in Then when we were eating he was loud in the back Small inside 2.5/5 Also the sauce was spicy but so good read more

The restaurant's locatein in pakistani and Mexican plaza. The inside looks tight but the decor makes it casual and intimate. Jose was hdi g the fort and can cook real good delicious tacos to the general public including Muslims since the food's 100% halal. Once you meet the owner Jose he'll take great care of you. read more

Scammers, they charged me for items, without telling me that it would be extra charge. They are normally complementary at most restaurants, like a cup of water, refill on salsa. Very cheap and stingy, the overweight fellow serving me was rude and dishonest. Same as the guy with the apron on with the upwards facing hair. read more

Great food and customer service! Such a pleasure doing business with them! It is our new favorite taqueria!

I am huge sucker for halal Mexican food and am always excited to try it! I got a steak taco and 2 birria tacos. Have I tried better tacos? Yes. Was it good? Yes! Is it worth trying? Yes. My dad got the fish tostada and loved it. My friend got a taco plate with 3 chicken tacos rice and beans, she loves Mexican food and relished her meal. The prices are super affordable and I love that! They also give complimentary chips with salsa, who doesn't appreciate that. Their chips were a little different than the tortilla chips I am used to but I still enjoyed it. Their place was clean and theres good amount of seating available. Theres a parking lot as well so parking is not an issue. Their cashier and waitress was nice and would check on to see if we needed anything. read more

So I ordered delivery from this place recently because they had beef Birria tacos. They call it a Birria Queso Taco Platter. It comes with 3 tacos, and of course a side of the sauce. OMFG! ITS SO GOOD. The meat is super tender and season perfectly. The dipping sauce is amazeballs. I've been telling everyone about it since the first time I ordered. Had some friends over this past weekend and ordered again and it was just as mind blowing delicious. Obviously I highly recommend the Birria Tacos. Also ordered the Guacamole and it was in desperate need of salt. read more

Nice little restaurant, reasonably priced w/decent food. read more

I've been coming to this spot for a few years now. It's average Mexican food that is good for a quick bite, but recently they raised the prices, although many business did the same. This place was already over priced so the $13 mediocre burrito that comes with 1 sauce is a bit frustrating. Also the chicken is ok & the steak is usually over cooked. 100% zabhia halal which was amazing till I found some better options. read more

Been at this location before and the gentleman is the sweetest! Food is great wanting to come however, the young girl with the septum piercing is rude!!! Her service takes away not just the ambiance but wanting to come back at this location and just go to the Lombard location. Moment I walked in "here or to go" said "for here" her exact response? "Sit down." with a stern voice. Then when taking order she made it seem like I don't know what I'm ordering when I have been here for her and clearly stated I just want cilantro and onions on my tacos. She then had commentary that idk what I want. Complete rude. Owner should teach her what customer service is or drop her... THATS how bad it was. read more

Taqueria Los Sombreros - three containers of food - Mexican Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

I was super satisfied with the Horchata and Burrito Lengua (beef tongue burrito) that I ordered here. we ate in, and at the time the place was empty (it was later on a Monday evening) but we were still made to feel very welcome! the place was cute, had robust glass tables and matching metal chairs with screechy feet. the TV was playing whatever telenovela was currently airing. service was prompt and friendly! I don't think too many people order beef tongue meat, but if you haven't tried it yet, it's usually quite soft and meaty, I guess has a lot of that 'umami' that people seem to always be searching for these days. sometimes tongue can be gamey but here it was not! was really looking forward to eating here with friends and didn't realise they would be closed for the evening - everyone needs a day or two off! so check their schedule if you want to be certain of service during the weekdays. read more

the chips were stale. the tacos weren't what we expected. to start off the steak tacos were really dry.As for the torta wasn't what I expected. I'd say it was an alright. i purchased a torta , 3 steak tacos with rice and bean with 2 large aguas frescas. was changed $45. not worth paying that much for the food. wouldn't recommend this place. read more

We recently just catered our daughters birthday party from Los Sombreros. We set up a taco/fajita bar. The chicken, steak, and grilled veggies were awesome as well as the fresh corn and flour tortillas. They also provided us with freshly chopped tomatoes, cilantro, onions, and lettuce. Everything was easy to set up and super delicious!! Would highly recommend for catering!! read more

The first time I came here was because my big bro wanted Mexican food and it was zabiha halal. This was probably in September or so. Upon walking in, I didn't think much of it aside from the fact that it's a very simple dining place. So we ordered our food and sat down. While we were waiting, we were brought an order of complimentary salsa and chips. I really enjoyed that because the salsa was freshly made and it makes the wait time go by faster. My chicken tostada and my bro's steak burrito was ready and served in about ten minutes. It was time. I took one bite into the chicken tostada and boom. It was one of the best marinades that I've ever eaten. I believe it's a tomato marinade they use for their chicken - so juicy, savory, and delicious! I took a bite of my bro's steak burrito and that steak seasoning was amazing as well. In addition to the meats, I am very appreciative of their flour tortillas. It's not super thick where you get that overdose of tortilla flavor but still durable enough to keep your meal clean (sort of lol). The service is good as well! The same lady always serves us. She's very attentive to our needs and checks up on us several times. I've been here about five times after that first time in September. The service and food continues to be outstanding. I am a big fan and I highly recommend it to everyone! read more

Service and food here is pretty great. The bbq beef tacos (cilantro/onion only) are my favorite. The chicken quesadillas are my 2nd favorite food item to eat from here (marinated). Chips and salsa are the best I had, hands down. Convenient parking. Give this place a chance. read more

I'm Mexican, I grew up to authentic Mexican food at home, and going to Mexico and having my grandma's home cooking as well. This place really threw me back to going to Mexico and have tacos from the street carts in Mexico. I generally don't rave about Mexican restaurants because I'm used to the real stuff, but this place does it right. read more

Went here for lunch with the SO. He had a burrito (gyro) and i had 2 tacos (one Mexican BBQ beef and one gyro). The burrito was good, very filling. But the meat to lettuce/rice ratio is skewed - there's a paltry amount of meat. It's delicious so i wish they would add more. Their tacos on the other hand are AMAZING. Authentic warm corn tortillas with slow-cooked Mexican BBQ style beef... the beef was shredded and juicy, perfectly cooked and spiced. It was fantastic! A much better experience than last time. I think the menu is hit or miss. Stick to the basics/authentic Mexican. They do it well. Love that they serve complimentary chips and salsa as well. The salsa was so good on the tacos. read more

Just had dinner here and I am very impressed with the food here. The lady who served us was nice and was very welcoming. She took our orders quickly and served us appetizers. My group ordered a lot of food. We had a variety of enchiladas, variety of tacos, a steak burrito, and shrimp quesadilla. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic... and to make it better it's all halal. The prices are very good too! I loved the place, the people and the food.

I personally like this place because it's Zabiha. The only things I like to order is the steak burrito. The waiter there is always smiling and gets the food out right away. My family and I love to come here on weekdays for dinner. It's a easy stop. It's also rare to find a Zabiha Mexican restaurant. I'm glad they're around. read more

Taqueria Los Sombreros - Steak burrito w/ fries on the side. - Mexican Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Don't bother with this place unless there is absolutely no where else to eat in the immediate area and here stuck without the ability to travel anywhere else. The food is edible but very lackluster. I don't know how anyone could screw up a milkshake but this place screwed up three of them. Much of what they serve seems inauthentic but the quality of the materials seems to be okay. The service is very very slow. If you would like to order anything with pork forget about it because this place is halal. And the really odd thing was that our server did not speak Spanish, not even the words of some of the menu items. She told us that she didn't speak Spanish. I understand if someone doesn't have the ability to have a conversation but not to understand the names of some basic food items is really odd. read more

Keep your expectations low and your fingers crossed! Halal rating- 8 Non-halal rating- 5 Considering the lack of zabiha halal Mexican restaurants, Los Sombreros (a hole in the wall restaurant) is a front runner by default. The steak is pretty tender and they offer authentic Mexican options. My Dad loves the steak burritos and I like the steak tacos. The salsa is pretty generic. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but it's nice to have a halal option. For the zabiha only eaters it's definitely worth a shot! read more

when i heard there is a Halal Mexican restaurant in the Chicago land area, had to try it. and it did not disappoint. the steak fajita was great and very filling, the nachos with chicken i liked as well and also they serve complimentary chips and salsa. overall the place is nice and clean and staff is friendly, and the price is reasonable read more

This place is the amazing combination of Halal and authentic Mexican. My wife is Mexican and we both love this place. I think majority of the people are not used to eating authentic Mexican they like the American style Mexican food and judge it based on that. I agree with the other reviewer that this place is a bore. The food here is good and I enjoy every last morsel every time. I gave 2 of my thumps and 2 of toes up as well. read more

Taqueria Los Sombreros - Steak Burrito with tongue tacos - Mexican Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

I'm glad I gave this place another chance. After participating in a lengthy survey during dinner hours, I decided to stop in here around 8:30 PM for a late meal. At that hour, Los Sombreros is the only place open in this Latino-oriented strip mall on Ballard. Instead of my usual steak burrito I seem to order everywhere I go for Mexican, I got a do-it-yourself steak taco platter with diced beef, beans, lettuce, tomato and plain white rice. A stack of warm tortillas came in a covered dish too. OK, the plain rice was well... plain. Otherwise, it was a very filling meal. Additionally, while I waited for the food, they brought out a bowl of chips and red and green salsas for dipping. The green was a bit too hot for my liking, but their red salsa is just right on the spicy scale for me. I used some on my tacos too. The place has a bright green and orange color scheme to it and it is just as clean as I remember it from my last visit. And it is not expensive either. For my chips, salsa, big platter of steak, beans, rice and toppings, plus a can of Coke it came out to $6.49. I'll be back here before long. read more

This place is so good. I have had amazing Mexican food in California but ever since I moved to Chicago I can't find one Mexican place I like that reminds me of the California style Mexican. This place is amazing the steak burrito with fries inside is so good it is exactly like a California burrito. Go try it !! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! I was so excited to try this place after the other reviews I read and it was just horrible! Moving back to Niles from Logan Square has not been easy in terms of finding a true taqueria!!! I ordered a taco de chille relleno (pictured) and it was a quarter of the pepper, I asked the lady where the rest was and she chuckled and said that's how it is! My children shared a 3 taco dinner. The rice was beyond gross, unless you want it mushy and tasteless. Nothing is fresh here... all I kept hearing was a microwave. I should have known better since they advertise pizza and other non-mexican food! Huge disappointment. read more

Been here a couple times already. Most of the things on the menu are pretty good. All the food is halal to my knowledge including the tongue tacos, which I suggest you try. The setup inside is simple but since its a small joint, I'd rather have it that way because that food is authentic. Definitely recommend. read more
