Tacos w regular tortillas were amazing!! We tried the asada, Cecina, chorizo, chicken, chicharron. All excellent. Their salsa for the tacos also fresh and homemade and delicious! Quesobirria were good with home made tortillas. Consume was a little weak. I might try it next time w regular tortillas. I hope they have the mole next time so I can try the enchiladas. Would def try again! read more

It has been two years since we first tried A Mi Manera. As I read over my old review, it became clear that the growing pains I mentioned were just that. They have improved dramatically since we were last there. First, the service was awesome. They have decorated so it has a nice ambiance. Their menu has also grown a lot. They still have about ten tables and appear to do a good takeout business. There were four of us and we ordered a few items. Their guacamole was excellent. I had their taco dinner - three tacos, beans, and rice. The portions were large and the food was delicious. Two in our party has Quesabirrias and one had Quecas. We also shared a horchata. It was all wonderful. I admit, everything was really good. And I'm very happy we gave them a second try. We'll be back soon. read more

Still freshly made and still delicious. Please go try it in person, I'm sure Door Dash is great , but go in person. Is it perfect every time... no, why, because it's freshly made but it's still delicious when it's not perfect. They are the nicest people and the restaurant is always clean and friendly. read more

I enjoyed my quesa birria with the handmade tortillas and the loaded nachos had very fresh tortilla chips. Lots of nice toppings. The interior is bright, colorful. However my experience was really hurt by waiting on my child's kids meal to come out way after my meal to where I was sitting there waiting and done with my meal. My toddler's meal came out piping hot. Piece of advice for every business restaurant make sure the kids meal comes out sooner than later even before the parents and make sure it's cooled down. They're not gonna eat piping hot food and burn the interior of their mouth. I ended up having to take it to go. read more

I liked this place! We came here one night to try it out and everything was tasty. I enjoyed my chicharron huarache! My sister got the birria ramen which she said was really good. My husband got the birria tacos which he also really liked. The restaurant itself is smaller, maybe 6 tables. As we were sitting there, you can tell they do more carry out orders than anything. Would try again, and next time I'd get the ramen for myself. read more

Delicious food! Tortillas are hand made and everything tastes amazingly delicious. Churros are wonderful!

Met a friend here for dinner last night and we had an excellent experience! The shrimp tacos were very tasty. Full of yummy shrimp and lots of flavor. The salsas are super flavorful and taste homemade. The chips could use a little bit of work, as they weren't consistent, but everything we had was delicious. The gentleman who helped us was super patient and friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had the enchiladas... chicken with green sauce... delicious... rice was also good... BUT refried beans tasted like a mouthful of smoke.. I am not a smoker so those weren't good. Service was good and helpful... food came out quickly. It's like a small local Mexican cafe. 6 or so tables, Mexican music, bright interesting decor. Just south of Discount Tire on west side of Rand. Easy to miss but you shouldn't for quite authentic food. read more

The Caldo dos mares was excellent! Big pieces of seafood and veggies in a spicy flavorful broth. Yum!

Pretty disappointed. I was looking forward to eating here when I heard they make their own tortillas. However, everything we ordered, were either super salty or not much meat. Their horchata also tasted like a store bought kind of horchatas :( Owner, pls take it easy with your salt. Even my son who normally likes his food a little salty had to spit out the steak from his tacos because it was too salty. It gave me a headache and didn't finish my food anymore. The staff was friendly and cute place but one of the most important things was unfortunately not met, the food :( not to mention prices are too expensive for the type of food you're getting. Wish I can change our experience, but it is what it is. read more

Awesome to see a new establishment in Palatine. Ordered food for pick up & was told 20 min but ended waiting 40 minutes. Quesabirria - broth was delicious a little salty but really tasty! Good meat portion only downside was they were a bit soggy but I was able to pop them in my air fryer to crisp them back up. Guac & Chips - chips were a little greasy but I loved how thin they were super crunchy & the guac was good but could be better if they added more tomato & onions Steak Burrito Place - burrito was huge! Very tasty! But next time I will get the burrito alone as the beans and rice were bland. The beans tasted like they were straight from a can. Horchata - was refreshing and perfect amount of sweetness! read more

We came in with about 20 people at once and they handled it great. Good food. Good service. Can't wait to return!

What a great find! We were in the mood for Mexican food and this place totally satisfied our cravings. The star of the show was their quesabirria tacos- home made tortillas packed with tender shredded beef and melted cheese with a side of consume (meaty broth) for dipping. We also shared the birria ramen and enjoyed that as well. Excellent service with a smile, and a clean simple ambiance- we can't wait to come back! read more

Outstanding, authentic Mexican food. Chicken enchiladas with mole were to die for. Highly recommend!

Delicious and authentic food. I ordered Pozole Rojo that included hunks of pork and was both flavorful and satisfying. Service was great; informative on all menu items, enthusiastic on giving us help and timing was just right. Small drink selection. Had the homemade "Jamaica" drink which was yummy. My friend loved her tacos. And homemade chips were a bonus. It is a small place but homey. I'll be back! read more

We ordered a variety of take out items for the first time from A Mi Manera. The service was excellent and efficient. The food was definitely the star. Fresh, delicious and authentic Mexican. One of the items we ordered was out and the owner graciously refunded our money and substituted it for the most delicious tamales I have had in the Chicago area. This new restaurant will definitely be our new go-to for Mexican food. read more

Don't consider going anywhere else. This place is legit. If you like authentic, homemade recipes (including tortillas), you will not be disappointed! We tried the Pazole, empanadas, quesabirria, picaditas, and Horchata! read more

Stopped by for lunch while my car was at Discount Tire, half a block away. I had checked Yelp for nearby places to have lunch while I waited for my car to be ready. Reading the excellent reviews, I decided that this would be the place to eat. I had pretty high expectations, and they were exceeded. New place, small, friendly, and delicious. I had the chicken enchiladas (with a quite creditable molé). Best Mexican food I've had in a while. I can hardly wait to go back and bring friends. This is a winner. read more

Finally an amazing spot for MX food in Palatine. Absolutely incredible homemade tortillas and salsas. I will be back immediately. Must try! Jaime is great too. read more

Pretty good. I was a mess from the night before but managed to get myself of the floor and get some eats. They probably thought I was nutz wearing shorts and a tank top. Enjoyed the hot sauces but nothing hot enough for me. I like it really spicy like I like my mistresses. read more

This place is amazing. Food was great. People are so nice, asking if it was my first time and hoping we enjoyed. Tons of Mexican restaurants around here, many are good, this one is top tier. read more

Homemade everything! Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, food is delicious. Got a birria taco and a picaditas plate. My guy got a 3 taco plate and a small handmade quesadilla. They STUFF the tacos and quesadillas. Chips and salsa good. And they serve duros as a snack while you're waiting for the food. Very prompt service. Reminds me of a Phoenix mom and pop shop. read more

A Mi Manera - Mexican Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

I ordered from this restaurant on GrubHub. The restaurant called me told me that they couldn't make all of the food I ordered because the restaurant has the wrong prices listed. I'm pretty sure that you if you advertise the wrong price that you need to honor it. They need to sort themselves out. Avoid the hassle and go elsewhere. read more

The food was amazing the atmosphere is unpackable and the service is unbelievable the management there go out of their way to help you I will definitely recommend this place.. read more

Jaime has a gem on his hands! Best tamales and queso birrias! Everyone has to try his food. A lot of it is homemade! It's delicious! read more

This is a new restaurant on Rand Road. It is a hidden gem. I like that you can order a plate or individual items. The Tinga chicken enchilada with green sauce was the best I have ever had. My husband likes to have the Queca. The waitress said the taco barrio is also amazing! read more

Definitely my new favorite place for Mexican food! I ordered the pambazo and it was delicious! My fiancé ordered the steak burrito and he loved it. The guacamole tasted fresh too. read more

Fantastic, not-your-regular-Mexican place. A rotating soup menu. At least 3 or 4 meals you haven't seen before if you're not Mexican. We have taken out twice and everything was fantastic. They're getting a beer license this year so more likely to grab a seat inside. Just a really good place. Go there! read more

Finally a reliable and delicious Mexican spot in town! We tend to go once a week and are slowly making our way through the menu but everything so far is absolutely top notch and I couldn't recommend it more. read more

The Chimichanga is the truth and the Birria is solid as well! I'm from here and have been living in LA for the past 8 years. I didn't think anything out here held a candle to SoCal Mexican. Today I was proven wrong! read more

Nice place! Great service, great food menu and delicious tacos ! I will be back for sure to try the Birria tacos for sure ...

Absolutely Delicious! Authentic Homemade style...the name means My Way and they have A super Delicious Way! The flavors took us back to the many Mom & Pop Mexicano ristorante s in Phoenix. The price is great and portions huge! This place is the real deal from The Chef and Owner Jaime who treats all like family. It's my numero uno choice in Mexican Food for now on! Gracias Jaime! read more

Great homemade, authentic mexican food. Friendly service. I had the tamale with green sauce wrapped in banana leaf, enchiladas with mole, birria with masa handmade tortilla quesadilla. Everything was delicious. It's a tiny place in a tiny 3-store mall off of Rand Rd. Careful not to miss it. You'll be happy you found it. Food is so good! read more

Wow...food was fantastic, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Highly recommend.
