@audraaudras Los compadres is really good, but pricey!  

Answer 6

I like Mexico Restaurant on Lee street; the posole is very good, their enchiladas suizas verdes are my favorite.  

Comments

I used to like them. Something has changed as the food isn’t as good. I also know a coup people who have recently gotten sick from their food

---

I got a large soup and regular burrito to go and was charged $20. Now I get my soup from KD market

---

@mismanage Okay? I think their prices are very fair for what you get. To each their own.  

---

The menu they gave me showed regular burritos at $6. 50 and the soup at $10. 25. no way it should of been $20 and some change with sales tax. Then my hubs asked me where I got it and I asked him if he liked the burrito and he told me it hardly had any meat. I checked Yelp and sure enough others had said the same thing.  

Answer 7

I moved here from San Diego I tried few Mexican restaurants but I never liked any of their foods so I gave up. they don’t even know what’s in shrimp burrito.  I can only eat my shrimp burrito when I go back home to San Diego.  

Comments

Gee Cee i’m sorry that you had to move HERE from SAN DIEGO. That truly sounds awful.  

---

@coda77197 call me crazy but I love it here lol I just wish I can find a good Mexican restaurant or taco place that makes good foods ‍♀️

Answer 8

Best Mexican food is Taqueria El Gallo De Oro at Algonquin/Lee, or Tamales Oaxaqueños at Elmhurst/Oakton. Trust me. You won’t find better than these two.  

Comments

@coda77197 agreed

Answer 9

I like Taco Village at river and rand just be careful with the surrounding road construction

Comments

I agree! Try steak fajitas, the best. Owner is super nice and can really use the business since this construction has had a major impact to the point they may have to close. Give them a try!

Los Compadres Mt Prospect is the best by far

Answer 26

We don’t have a good taco place in DP or any good food place here!  

Answer 27

We use to love Arandas until mid day roach walked across the wall. We have tried, Marichis - good, El Dorado was better when they first opened, taco village good but our all time favorite is El Gallo. Always busy and people don't go there for the ambiance. LOL It is in the stripmall next to nail salon and insurance place that is opening on Lee and Algonquin.

There is a place on Euclid. Right begind Jewel/Randhurst. looks shady, but really good food.  

Comments

@landes I think I know the place you are talking about. Is it inside a Mexican grocery store? Where they also sell their taco meat by the pound as well as just tacos right? I had forgotten about that place, it was also very good.  

---

@mismanage actually no. there is a strip mall right next to it, primarily Mexican influence. I think it is called LaPresa.  

---

@landes Ooo somewhere new to try

Answer 42

Mexico restaurant in downtown Des Plaines is fantastic. Sit down but not even a little fancy. Might be able to order out too.
