Restaurantji's Bloomington picks for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“Cool vibe, especially on the patio and up from by the bar. Back of the place is sad. They tried to seat us there but we asked to be closer to the front. The server was really nice and friendly but our entrees came out literally one minutes after our appetizer leaving us choosing between eating super fast or having some of our food get cold. The queso with chorizo was great until it got cold. The carne asada taco was great because I ate it while hot. The chicle tongs tacos were sloppy wet and soaked through the tortilla. The meat was shredded and bland. Skip that type of taco.“
“Friendly staff, clean restaurant, great decor. The protein options are plenty and tasty. Bangin' $2 tacos on Tuesday. Reminds me of La Bamba's {Burritos As Big As Your Head} from back in the day. Happy to have Chubbies in our dining community in Bloomington.Wheelchair accessibility: Street level restaurant with no steps at the front door.“
“The place is family owned and the recipes come from the current owners mother Juanita. The food was fabulous. It's definitely real deal mexican food. The Mole is the best I've ever had. The price is good and each plate we got would feed 2 people so the portions are larger. You get what you pay for. You want real mexican go to Juanita's.“
“Had the Pollo Con Queso and my girlfriend had the Viva Mas Fajitas. Everything was fantastic, from the chips, salsa & queso to the main dishes, to the drinks. We just moved here and this was the first sit down restaurant we went to, and it did not disappoint. Service was a tad slow considering how light the traffic was through the place but the waitress we had was very proactive which made the experience nearly perfect. Definitely will be back.Also, atmosphere is an absolute 5. This place is gorgeous and perfect for date night.“
“3 Amigos catered my daughter and son in law’s wedding last Saturday at Switchyard Park Pavilion. They did “build your own tacos”. I have to tell you that I was skeptical, but this was best wedding or event food I have ever had in my 65 years. The meats were flavorful and moist, the vegetables fresh and beautiful, the sauces were delicious, and even the rice tasted great. Very highly recommend!“
“Just had a delish lunch at La Charreada in Bloomington! ? The atmosphere was alive with great music, and the service was impressively fast. The chips and queso were the perfect start - absolutely delicious! ? And the steak fajita taco salad? Simply the best. ?? La Charreada is definitely the top spot for Mexican cuisine in Bloomington, though shoutout to El Ranchero for being a super close second!“
“I have yet to have a bad dish from here. Nachos are delicious and full of toppings. Street tacos are the most authentic in Bloomington. Fajitas are what you'd expect. Sopes are huge and really everything just tastes the way its supposed to if you grew up eating this food at home.“
“We came in for lunch while on a road trip. Great atmosphere, super nice and courteous staff. The food was absolutely delicious and we received our entrées in what must be record time. I highly recommend eating here. I will definitely return whenever I'm in Bloomington.“
“I went to the dentist today and had oral surgery so I needed some "soft" food. After running an errand at Lowes, I spotted this place in the same neighborhood on a map app so my sister and I ate lunch here about 12:30 and found no crowd. Our overall service was great with prompt seating, drinks and food service that included timely bill settling at the end. I ordered the Dinner "Pick Three Choices" deal and chose Rice & Beans, a Ground Beef Enchilada, and a Ground Beef Soft Taco. I was worried about bitting the inside of my mouth while still numb so I emptied the contents of the enchilada and taco and mixed them with the rice and beans so I didn't have to chew that much. It was great eating it that way. I finished the entire plate. I had to pass on the chips and salsa but my sister liked them very much. She ordered the Ground Beef Chimichanga. She got rice and beans too. She said her meal was great as well. She said and I quote, "it was excellent." We're both ready to return again for lunch anytime. We were able to find a parking place directly in front of the restaurant. There was ample parking available. The restrooms were clean and stocked.“
“Average Qdoba experience. Friendly staff, food is ready in a timely manner. Food portions are light and with prices going up; more for less takes away from the experience.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options, beans and white rice are vegetarian.“
“Really good food and super quick service from order to the time that the food hit the table was only about 8 minutes or so but it was all fresh and super hot and really tasteful. I was super happy with it. I had taken my lady friend out for her birthday so they really came through for me“
“We stopped in because of the long wait at Texas Road House. Our son had been to eat here the night before. He raved about it.Looked a little unfinished on the outside but what a beautiful restaurant inside. Like a little Mexican village having a party. So fun.Food was amazing and portions are very generous. We had enough for the next day.You could easily order and share. No wait. Service was great. Going back for sure .Parking: Plenty of parking.“
