47 Best Mexican Restaurants near Rockdale

“excellent food !! everything is very fresh and tasted great“

“Was not aware of Oasis restaurant; only tried because of local flavor ad. No online ordering available, only phone for carry-out.Overall, gave a low/mid rating as the order was not correct.I think part of the issue is how loud the noise is over the phone when placing he order. The girl was very nice though and we worked thru the background noise. Hoping that online ordering is coming soon as this could reduce some of the communication issues.Ordered 2 chips and salsa, paid for them but not included in carryout ($8).Ordered two steak burrito dinners but rec'd only 1 dinner and 1 burrito (no beans/rice).Ordered three tacos - chicken and pastor - EXCELLENT!Steak Burritos - very good.Churro dessert was good - probably order plain instead of strawberry on it (or put whip cream/strawberry syrup in side cup to dip)- soggy churro was still good but I bet it would be really good crispy.The food was very good, just wish the ordering process & accuracy was easier.Based on the great quality of food, will give them another shot.Will need to review carry-out contents before leaving,Thank you!“

“This is hands down 1 of my fav restaurants in the entire Chicagoland just from the hospitality alone. The food is always cooked fresh, and I'm always full with leftovers to spare! Please keep up the great work, yall. I'll be visiting soon again!Also, they very politly greeted me personally and walked over the counter to hand me my food and threw in some additional hot wings! ✊?11/10“

“Came here after a long day of baseball mom duties. This was my second time at Azul. All I wanted was a nice cold michelada and that’s what I got, it was very satisfying. The cochinita pibil tacos are chef’s kiss! Queso fundido was delicious drinks delicious. It definitely won’t be my last time!Service was great. The owners are very kind, friendly people. If you haven’t tried them they definitely are a must!!“

“Me and my friends wanted something good after the gym and they didn’t disappoint! I got the tonto burrito and chia cucumber/lime and my friends burritos and nachos. The burrito was huge!!! Friendly service and fun decor. Definitely need to go back asap. Surprised I havent heard more rave reviews about this place. Theres alot of taco places in Joliet but this is one of the best Ive had so farParking: Medium lot that doesnt get too much trafficKid-friendliness: Saw a few kids in there and they seemed like they were having a nice timeWheelchair accessibility: Theres no stairs but the tables are a bit close“

“The food and drinks were delicious! Everyone was happy with their food choice! We even ordered more to go. The music was great! Came for karaoke and it was fun! Service is a little slow, but they are very friendly. I will definitely be coming back!“

“It’s hard to find Salvadorian food in the suburbs and was excited when I found this place. The pupusas are awesome and always give you plenty of salsas and curtido too! Definitely will be back!“

“Authentic food and good quality service.“

“HALAL CERTIFIED I’m so happy I could find a taco place with no pork and food taste amazing and it’s really clean. I don’t eat out to often due to cross contamination with different meats but since they only sell beef and chicken products I can trust their food without thinking if I ate pork. I’m happy Lockport got a gem like this in my town for anyone can’t trust restaurants because of the cleanliness and quality of their food than this is the place“

“Some of the most flavorful food I have had in a long time . First time customer, and would definitely be going back.“

“These are by far the best tacos and quesadillas!!! I met Marissa during the Alzheimer's event and stopped by recently on the weekend to the food truck. Service is always superb and fast! It was late at night and she walked the order to the car so I didn't have to take the kids back out. She blew me away with impeccable service and genuine kindness. I will be back and spreading the word Love! God Bless You Through & Through and Declaring more food trucks across the nation ????????????????“

“Enjoyed a delicious brunch buffet! A hidden gem of Joliet . I recommend it .“

“Came here solely on the strength of the rating and reviews...best spur of the moment decision ever. Food was piping hot. Tortillas for my carne asada tacos were so fresh. I got French fries and was in heaven. They give complimentary chips and salsa (when dining in at least, not sure about takeout) and the salsa was amazing. The staff was impressive and very attentive and courteous. I could not have created a better experience. It's definitely 'a hole in the wall' and I have apparently passed by it a million times, as I live in the area, and those places seem to always have the best food! I will absolutely be back for this authentic experience.“

“Great food great service !“

“Really some good food and drinks too“

“I cannot say enough about Tacos Maui! We had their taco truck at our party yesterday. Everyone loved the food. Tacos and sides were hot, fresh, and delicious. Service was efficient and the people are SO NICE. And they are so professional—easy to contact, responsive to questions, and took care of everything just like they said they would. THANK YOU!“

“Friendly atmosphere and good food , fast service. we asked for gluten free food and they knew what it was! When I visit Joliet to meet with my good friend, we always stop at Vela's for lunch. Is it the good food? Yes! Is it the friendly, but professional service? Yes! Is it the kind of place where you can just relax,spend time and not feel rushed with friends or family in the warmth of an enjoyable restaurant? Absolutely! The cost of lunch, also makes it a practical choice for families and friends to enjoy. You know I love it so much, that I'm going back tomorrow.“

“Joliet store…. Awesome food and staff! Very helpful and recommend to all! Thanks from iowa!!!“

“This place rocks! The food is so tasteful amd the prices are right! Great portion size and everyone is so nice! Enjoy this place as much as we do ?“

“We have dined at this establishment since the change in ownership and all we can say is WOW. We have visited on the weekends and for Taco Tuesday for delicious food. The portions of food and cocktails are generous. However, we enjoy the wonderful service the most! Even when the place is busy, employees greet you with a smile and accommodate you as quickly as possible.“

“The delivery from El Gallo de Acero was plentiful and satisfying. The portions were generous, and the flavors were delightful. The food arrived promptly and was well-packaged. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would recommend it to others looking for a hearty meal delivered to their doorstep.“

“Finding this place was a pleasant surprise. We walked in without knowing what to expect. We ordered only a couple tacos to try it out, and we were delighted! we ended up ordering more steak tacos and a side of rice. The meat was well seasoned and tender, the salsa was spot on heat wise. We will be back for sure. ?“

“Best tacos in town! Plus, they make their corn tortillas fresh every day. Restaurant is cozy with friendly and caring staff.“

“This past Saturday we had family over and so we decided to order a 10lb catering tray of carnitas. Price was good at about $78 bucks for the 10lbs. Carnitas were amazing! We got mostly meat and I'm glad we didn't get a bunch of cartilage and bones like other carnitas spots do. We are on day 4 of carnitas dinners now due to lots of leftovers it's tortas ahogadas for tonight! Highly recommend their carnitas!“

“Authentic food and good quality service.“

“buen sason los tacos sabrosos con un chilito toreado ,los burritos estan Buenos se los recomiendo jente amable“

“Fresh food with great taste, quick service all for a good price.“

“First time trying & we will be back. Great food. Great service. Great Margs. I'm not a big fan of Mexican food but they had great vegetarian options for me. My veggie quesadialla was delicious. My husband killed 2 bowls of chips & salsa & 5 tacos!!“

“We have ordered from here quite a few times and we are so happy we found this place. It truly has amazing Mexican Food. Their steak is melt in your mouth!!!“

“Someone told me to try this place and I finally stopped in with a friend. Friendly staff and very clean. The fresh and warm chips with salsa was great. The steak tacos were the best I've had in the lockport/cresthill area. Great value, portion size and very tastie. I've tried multiple taco restaurants in the area as well. The green sauces were awesome too. Found a new favorite spot for steak tacos.Try them out!!! You won't be disappointed!“

“Stellar! Had the burrito was amazing. Brought my family there with 2 little girls, they accommodated us perfectly. The staff was friendly and food came out so quick didn't even have time to enjoy the chips and salsa. Loved it, will be visiting again.“

“Best burrito spot in town! I don't know why any other places in the area have a better rating. Most other places are bland and/or cheap on ingredients.. this place has good flavor and isn't chincy with the meat, and their prices aren't bad(but they don't always charge the same price, which is aggravating)“

“Did not leave cilantro off tacos as requested. I have ALWAYS tipped and order 1-2 times a week, but I'm done. Never again. I am too tired of coming home to discover food I literally have to throw in the trash.Vegetarian options: Tasty rice and beans, nachos, amazing Verde sauceParking: Strip plaza“

“So initially when I pulled up I had my doubts. It looked like your typical burrito joint where you walk in, place your order at the counter and sit down until they call you. Its still like that sorta. You can do that or you can sit down and let a server help you. Irma was the best. Very personable. Extremely attentive. The food was one of the best I've had. I had the burrito and my girlfriend had the steak tacos. Both were amazing. The queso fundido was so good I stopped eating my burrito to eat that. You gotta come to this place if you're in the area. You'll come back over and over and over again. These cooks know what they are doing. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“Food is on point great service“

“Your cashier stole from me and tried to have me beaten after I went there with my family.“

“Let me start by saying this place is Great!!!! Has the potential to be the best in the whole area!!Sauces are very good.Service is Good. The owner is Cool and very likeable. .Pastor is Not only good its actually really good.Restaurant is Clean.Rice and Beans are very Flavorful.Things i Feel Can be worked On and i know aren't too hard to do.1. Chips are absolutely way too Greasy...(Suggest some El Ranchero or Milagro Chips this would add to cost however it would Pair Perfect with Sauces since they are Great.2. Please Ask cooks to shred the chicken more for the tacos makes them easier to eat and adds flavor. Most of the time Chicken Chunks are huge.overall, it's a good place and i will continue to go along with many of my coworkers That all agree that Chips and Chicken need a little work.“

“My boyfriend and I discovered this restaurant a couple months back, we LOVE it so much!! The food is sooo good delicious, reminds me of my childhood. The servers are always super nice and welcoming. Its 45minutes from my home but its worth the drive!!!“

“It was me and my husband's first time here. He had a steak taco dinner with cilantro and onion and I had a taco dinner with a chorizo taco and a steak taco with cilantro and onion. Also, always have to get the corn tortillas!Omg it was so good! We just moved out here this year (we like to consider ourselves authentic Mexican food enthusiasts ?) and have been looking for a legit Mexican restaurant to get tacos from. We definitely, finally found it! The atmosphere is inviting, the staff is so friendly, and most importantly the tacos are so so so good! We definitely will be back! Thank you to everyone who makes this place so great! I can't wait to try more stuff, and yet I can't wait to get the tacos again! I can't wait to try the pozole! Oh, I also want to mention that their green sauce is awesome, too! My husband is always looking for a good green sauce from Mexican places and this one was it! Perfection ?“

“We were celebrating our 20th anniversary. Our service was done by Kaylea. Although she was very busy, she was very pleasant and helpful specially when I had to return my steak because it was under cooked to my taste. She took the steak back to the kitchen no problem and came back with a little better cooked steak with a brand new potato and veggies! The shrimps cocktail was very nice. Overall good food and good service. Perhaps the prices are a little higher but eating out these days is more then it used to be. Perfect location, right in the downtown market where is the Rideau mall, shops and restaurants.“

“Authentic Mexican food with margarita specials that are always enticing.My husband and I have been coming here for years and the food and drinks are always consistent and delicious.They also know how to make a REAL margarita. Thank you for always being reliable!“

“It was 70th Birthday! I had a great time celebrating my 70th. The food and drinks were Excellent! The service was Excellent!! The staff sang afterwards Happy Birthday with a torch candle it was the bomb. My sister Roxann & Lou made my day! I will be back with many others in the family! It was great! Love it at Los 3 Martinez!!!“

“This is the 4 th time I’ve ordered from here for catering for a big party . I will say amazing spot on . Everything is perfect steak meat chicken tortillas cheese guacamole sauces everything perfect . Thank you again . Perfect 10 !!!! Rating ????????“

“Came here on a Thursday and had 4 quesabirrias because I don’t eat seafood. They were AWESOME, best I have ever had. Wife had the “small” ceviche which she could only eat half of, and she said it was great. Definitely worth giving this place a look. The other seafood options on the menu look great, and we will be back next Thursday.“

“I've located this restaurant on a last minute drive. Honestly, I would have not noticed, If I was not observing the area around. It literally looks like a house with beautiful bright colors which I find very attractive. The inside of the restaurant is quite small with a very home like feeling. No noticeable bugs or signs of uncleanliness. The food was well prepared, as desired. This chips are fresh and pipping hot. Before I've realized, my father and I demolished two containers of chips. I didn't really care for the hot salsa (in a bowl) they provided me. It was quite sweet, and tasted more of like BBQ sauce. However, the salsa that were on the table (light red, and green-inside of a tube bottle) was delicious. The waitress were warm, friendly, attentive and kind. Overall, I will return and I am so happy I've spotted this restaurant.“

“Closet place to Naperville to get Borrego barbacoa and consomé. They also have other Hidalgo Regional dishes like salsa de chiniquil or Tlacoyos. The food was really good. The place has a few chairs seats that might need update but I go there for the food and price so I don’t care. I love getting my borrego ? “

“From the first moment you enter this restaurant the stuff gives you an enjoyable feeling. Very hospitable stuff, it is a good place to to go out with buddies or with your date. enjoyable meals, specialist chief cook and stuff, good pay and nice service. Highly recommended.“
