Don't miss these Pleasant Prairie Mexican restaurant gems.
“Went here for my birthday and the food was amazing, service wasn’t that good but wasn’t bad enough to complain about it lol anyway best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been toVegetarian options: Good amount of optionsDietary restrictions: NoParking: Parking was decent but can be difficult if the place is packed and this place has great food so you be the judge lolKid-friendliness: Yes“
“I bought a bowl for my daughter. Just a bowl nothing special. You do get what you pay for so if you like to only eat rice and your choice of protein and that it, like my daughter, you will be still paying full price for the bowl. Sorry, not sorry, that I really think there should be a reduction in price for only two (2) ingredients. Maybe it’s just me why I believe that and if you do too God bless. But please understand.. you would be smart, like my daughter, if you order extra rice! lol“
“Best, Mexican food in the area always consistent me or my wife We've been there probably 6 or 7 times in the last few months. It's nice to go to a place that consistently tastes the same every time you get it. They're not stingy on the meat and it tastes great. Can't beat them nothing better in a multiple cities in this area and we pretty much checked them all! Long as they continue what they're doing, I can't imagine they won't be very successful!!! We always get to stay tacos.“
“Incredible food every time. Great service as well and very kind staff. They are always quick to get you your food and never disappoint in flavor. They offer a great variety of dishes from multiple taco types, tamales, to a quesabirria pizza. We have enjoyed everything we eat here. The agua frescas are always delicious as well and they offer a seasonal variety of great flavors. Would recommend everyone who loves tacos stop here.“
“How did I never hear about this place?!!!!! I work out at Planet Fitness in Kenosha and happened to just want breakfast that wasn’t McDonald’s and google maps took me here.Let me start by saying the parking is a little tricky but when your restaurant is on basically the busiest street in Kenosha it’s expected. I walked in and was immediately welcomed by the hostess/server, Mable. She could tell it was my first time walking into there and she was so kind and helpful and surprisingly energetic and friendly for it being in the morning.I got the cheese omelette and the full biscuits and gravy. I ordered too much but honestly for the low price I thought it would be small portions. See photos below- that is a ton of sausage gravy and I love that. For $15 I had enough to feed two people! What a great deal. And then I find out they also make Mexican food there in addition to awesome breakfast! This is gonna be my new favorite spot as I love Mexican food and I love breakfast!And the service is amazing. Mable knew her guests by name and she was able to tell me the story of how they’ve been in Kenosha for over 30 years? I’ve been in Kenosha for just about 25 years and I never seen or heard of this place. But I already told my mother about it and I’m gonna bring my kids here when they visit. Such a warm and welcoming environment. I’m really surprised they weren’t busier but it’s Tuesday- ooh by the way they have Tuesday Taco specials. I can’t say enough about the breakfast I’m currently enjoying and I can’t wait to try more of their food. At these prices I could definitely make this a weekly destination, maybe even twice a week? We’ll see.Anyone reading this give them a shot. It will totally be worth it. They’re a little tricky to get to, your best bet is to take Pershing to 41st Ave to avoid the 75th st and 39th Ave nightmare. But it’s totally worth the trip. This was definitely a happy accident that I found this place: great food, great service, and close to home! Perfect combo. I can’t say enough that everyone should try this place!“
“This restaurant needs support from the community. Details are in the video attached. I was satisfied with my meal there, the tacos were very authentic and tasty. They just could've been a bit more spicy. Prices are reasonable too.#supportlocal #supportsmallbusinessownersRating 77/100“
“Went after enjoying the eclipse. About 230 pm it was happy hour. 5$ margaritas 6# fried ice cream which was enough for all 4 of us and delicious! Accepted my service animal. Wonderful service food and atmosphere! Highly recommend. A lil pricey but worth it!“
“Have been a loyal customer for 8+ years and usually get the same thing every time(chicken fajita wrap, no lettuce, plus giardinera). However, I recently went for lunch with my Grandmother, Aunt, and Cousin, and - wow!!!! I was missing out. The Birria is where it's at!!!!!! The ramen, quesadilla, and tacos were all so flavorful, filing, and fresh. This is a family favorite and always a great meal.“
“Best tacos! Everything is so good. Employees are very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious, and you can get ice cream treats and drinks as well.The atmosphere is so cheerful and cozy.Pay is cash only but there is an ATM at the bank nearby. Prices are great, you get good value for your money.“
“I've driven past this place for years until my son and I got dinner there on a whim. Wow, we were missing out! It's cozy inside and the staff is always super-friendly. The burritos, Taco salad, and chimichangas are amazing. You definitely won't leave hungry!“
“My family and I had a private party here and it was exceptional! Food, drinks, and service was top notch. We highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about hosting a party, or just having lunch/dinner here. I can say with confidence that we will be back again!“
“I love the food here. It's way better than any of these taco trucks trying to pull off good food. This the only place I will get food from! Absolutely delicious. Not over priced at all.Vegetarian options: I get the taco dinner that's vegetarian and it's delicious!“
“AMAZING!!! I have been having a HARD time finding a good flavorful Mexican restaurant in Kenosha (especially coming from Waukegan where there are good Mexican spots everywhere) and I was soooo impressed here! Flavorful food and their spicy red hot sauce is bomb!! Highly highly recommend 10/10!Customer service 10/10 they were all so sweet inside as well! Very family oriented (: let’s support this local business!“
“The employee's are very nice. Made a mistake on my order and fixed it within a minute. I love this place! Better than any other texmex place I've been in Kenosha. Tacos and chicken enchiladas are my favorites and burritos are great also.“
“Tacos are great! Rice and beans are a little plain but still good. They have a separate register for Mexican street snacks like mangonadas and elotes. My mango wasn’t ripe but the elote was good.Vegetarian options: Using beans as a substitute is an option. I don’t think it would be a great option though.“
“This was my first time visiting this establishment. I am pleasantly surprised. This is a hidden gem! The food is great and the leftovers taste even better. The portion sizes are large enough for two people. Next time we're sharing. The ceviche is amazing, I just wish they gave seconds (lol).Parking: There is parking in front of the restaurant and on the side of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids' section on the menu.Wheelchair accessibility: There's only one level making it easy for those in a wheelchair to enter in.“
“It's nice to be here eating, enjoying a good beer and listening to the beautiful Latin melodies.Being here makes me feel at home and in my country.The attention is excellent. Thank youParking: Easy to get to and it is very pleasant to be here in this place.“
“This place definitely deserves a 5 star. They are very consistent. Always open & The food is always good. My families favorites are the tacos and fish dinners. They never mess up on orders and they are extremely patient, even when they get rude customers. Definitely a super positive and great small business in our community. I also love the improvements they've made to the location recently and I will happily continue to support them.“
“Me and my Husband recently found out about this amazing place and if you want authentic Mexican cooking that's exactly what you will get. It made me emotional because it's reminded me of my grandma kitchen and the food was by far the best I've ever had. I leave extremely full and the food is fresh,hot and delicious. The cook are too older women Tere and Reyna and I have fell absolutely in love with there cooking. They never forget a customer and even make empanadas that are great snack to take home.My favorite are the chicken enchiladas I go crazy for the red sauce no one has made it as good or even close. The waiters are awesome always the boys are always a great conversation and get what I need right away. Go easy on the girl she does smile and will get the hang of the job.(Never know what a person going thru so be nice) But a 30 minute drive is always worth it. This is our favorite place and we try a new place everytime we decide to dine but now can't stop coming back for more. so from illinois and wisconsin this is our #1 spot and we'll worth it so glad it ain't far but I drive hours for the food!“
“Ate here and it did not disappoint, we ordered the Chicken Nachos, Suizo Burrito Salchipapas and the Bandeja Paisa. Food was awesome and they give you a good size portion of everything. Food had great taste, service was excellent!! We will definitely be coming back.“
“Great little taco truck! I had seen the truck for a while and decided to stop one day. I'm far from disappointed. The tacos were delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly. I ordered a rather large order. 10 beef tacos and 10 chicken. Lets just say they didn't all make it home. When I can I enjoy helping small businesses. The 2 employees I met seemed young and hard working. Do yourself a favor and stop in, you won't regret it.“
“Love this place, it's delicious and they are so friendly! We recently did 1 steak burrito with 4 shrimp tacos to share for 2 people, Mexican surf n turf, it was yummy and the perfect amount of food! We order for pickup frequently and they have not made a mistake on an order!!“
“Tacos el Norte is our go-to on Tuesdays. Everything on the menu is good and flavorful. The staff is very friendly and it's family-run. We never have to wait very long for our food and they always get our food order right. They even suggested things for us to try off the menu, and they didn't disappoint. Dine-in or take-out, we are so happy to have found this place. Don't let the strip mall area fool you, this is a gem“
“5+++?'Qu's Place' is really an interesting place. You can play darts, you can watch the game on decent televisions, they have clean well maintained bathrooms, the lighting is not overbearing in the evening, although I would dim it down a little bit. The managers, Josh and Victoria French are very personable and attentive. Our waitress Tonya Williams was extremely well-mannered and polite, she had a full load of customers tonight and handled it well. She's a true professional. And last but certainly not least, Jessica Armstrong, ??she's the bartender! she's also a wizard with the Long Island Iced Teas, and they are not chintzy with the booze. They go down easy, they taste great, but hit you like a sledgehammer, LOL. Sit back and sava the flava?❗ The Qu's nachos were delicious! I'm a big fan of not overdoing the accoutrements, and unless you want them to, they won't. The flavor of their fries is on a par with any place in the area, bar none. Let's get to the burgers, a customer that ordered a burger told the waitress,Tanya, she hadn't had a burger that good since 1952! I've had burgers all over the area and in many other states, and this was one of the best burgers I've had in years! My wife had the fish sandwich which included their proprietary sauce, she loved it! Do yourself a favor, come on in and get your grub on, you won't be disappointed. Let's show them some support❗ and keep them around for a good LONG while. We have to support good folks? providing an excellent product for their customers. Many places don't even put forth the effort anymore.?????????️??“
“We love having lunch here! I am a huge fan of their guacamole and fajitas. The service is always top notch. We have used Los Compadres for catering events as well. Everything came packaged perfectly, warm and ready to serve. Highly recommended.“
“Ordered 5 things. 1 thing was missing completely and everything else was just completely incorrect. Got a ground beef quesadilla instead of the chicken I was upcharged for. Everything was disgusting and soaked in grease. Ended up being sick after eating here. Don’t waste your money.“
“Food is always good & fresh. I love the weekend for Pazole & if you like Menudo, you can get it on weekends.I always get a Pazole quart to go yummVegetarian options: You can order most dishes meatlessKid-friendliness: I have visited many times where families with children are presentWheelchair accessibility: Yes, on ground level, small strip mall & no curbs, no obstacles for wheelchairs“
“Delicious Socal rolls and potstickers! Went there for an appetizer with my favorite person (my husband) and it was delicious! The chips are hot, the Socal rolls were creamy with a nice blend of chicken, corns and beans with cream cheese. And the potstickers were very good. Joe was a great bartender and very friendly. We will be back!Dietary restrictions: GF“
