Food is always cooked fresh and hot temperature wise. The spices are well balanced and very clean.

Great food and always friendly service. Who doesn't like a margarita to go with your take out order?

I can't say enough good things about this place, it is overshadowed by other places in the region but is better than most. Don't let it slide by, you can easily drive past it. Do your research when you wanna grab a bite. There are more well known places that frankly suck in comparison. El Motor needs much needed recognition.

This place is a hidden gem. Maybe it's located in a strip that is not visible from the main road. But it deserves more attention. Very good foods and more importantly you get good value. It's family owned, so they treat you well.

Solid food! It's kinda tucked away so it doesn't seem too busy when we go. We ordered a burrito suizo, various tacos, quesadilla, torta, and a gordita. Everything was very good. The al pastor was my favorite because they had some crispy bits in there. Be warned the green sauce was way hotter than the red sauce which is opposite of what I'm normally used to. Service was fantastic. The girl who served us had sparkly silver silver nails, I forgot her name, but she was awesome and personable. Any definitely a great spot in the area for mexican food, check them out! Thanks guys!

June 2,2022 Wife wanted Mexican food for her birthday thought we would try this place out! Got take out I ordered a Steak Burrito and wife ordered Beef Taco Dinner! We should have know when we called in the order they said it would be ready in 10 minutes that the food would not be the greatest! My Steak Burrito was tasteless without adding all the sauces they had supplied with take-out! My wife's taco dinner was the WORST WE EVER HAD! As she said later-Taco Bell would have been BETTER!

Small sit down restaurant with a Mexican cuisine. Food was tasty and well priced. Menu varied from tacos to full dinners. Plenty of parking

Maybe an off day, but everything was really bland to me. Pork had a weird smell to it, so we tossed the tacos. The quesadillas were really good. Lots of Mexican restaurants in the area, so it was my first and last visit.

I had the Mexicana Tacos. They were fantasic!

I came here with my husband and the food was decent, but the service was awful and they refused to take my coupon that specifically had their location on it. They were extremely rude to me regarding the entire situation. It was handled with zero class. Unfortunately, we won’t be back due to this issue. Customer service is very important.

Great food and excellent service. A family owned restaurant that's a hidden gem in the Frankfort area.

This place is phenomenal. Generous portions of delicious Mexican food. Awesome service from a polite and attentive server. I can't wait for warmer weather to take advantage of their great patio and enjoy some margaritas in the sun and pretend I am anywhere other than illinois. This place has cracked my top five for places to eat. Id give it more stars if I could.
