    My fiancé got buzzed pretty good. LOL.
    Scott J.

    My fiancé and I have never been here before. We were going to go to Pepe's across the street but it looked kind of ragged. So we saw this place and thought, why not? Our waiter was Juan. He was very nice and he said he was making our drinks. Well, other than not having a traditional margarita glass...they were very good. The chips appeared to be homemade and the salsa was very good. They kept up on our chips and salsa (we were very hungry). She had tacos and I had a steak burrito sulzo style. It was ok. Had better but had worse as well. The ambiance was okay. I have been to Fat Rosie's and they kind of ruined it for everyone else in the ambiance department. It is fantastic there.

    Very clearly frozen chicken strips that you'll pay $20 for maybe 5 in the whole cursed burrito, flooded with sour cream

    I thought La Chilanguita in Lyons was the worst burrito I had, this place superseded that. I paid extra for the "grilled" meat version, a $20 dollar burrito that turned out to be the frozen chicken strips one would find at Walmart. This burrito was halfway filled, and mostly SOUR CREAM per my attached pics. This was my 2nd chance with this joint, I had tried the mahi mahi tacos previously which had scant shreds of fish which I am certain were NOT actually mahi mahi. And a crappy steak and mushroom quesadilla. Previous unhappy reviewers mentioned the owner had run the Pepe's across the street and the quality aligns. Also, for this place being called Cafe SALSA , they occasionally throw in salsa and chips (didn't even get any last time) which are very bland, and they will give you NO hot sauce with your order, wtf. Go to Taco Taco, Cocula, even Chipotle would be better if u need to stay local. No idea how this place stays in business

    Excellent food,service,and atmosphere. We are regulars here, and never leave disappointed. Daily deals and special menus too, slot machines are a plus also! Smash burger tacos are an all time favorite and very yummy !

    Now you're talking!! Great neighborhood Mexican restaurant with great food and libations....and a professional, friendly staff too! As you walk in you're greeted with a smile and the aroma of delicious food. Your drink order is taken and HOT tortilla chips are placed on your table with an array of hot to mild dipping sauces. I love their fish tacos and my husband loves their fabulous dinner choices. It's a happy atmosphere with families and couples on dates (remember those) alike. Just try it and I know you'll go back again and again. Adios!

    Our food was good and the service was quick on a Tuesday night. The chips they gave before the meal were hot and tasted fresh! Tuesday nights they have a 2 entree + 1 dessert special for $25 which was an excellent value. Would come back again!

    Cafe salsa used to be a gold mine and now it's very hit and miss. Sadly more often then not the take away is a miss but in house is a hit still. The interior vibe is great and the moods always high. Hard to have a bad time with the service and vibes

    Taco bar

    The tasty taco bar take out for my daughter's birthday was a big hit. The chicken tacos were especially good and it came with so much food - several salsas, cheese, lettuce, beans, chips - the works! We had food for days

    Chips and salsa
    Thomas B.

    Good service received here yesterday although the quality if food items received were marginal as far as taste and temperature. Not enjoyable eating a cold tamale..Chips and salsa were good as was the margarita. Other food item were just okay. Perhaps we need to try this place again on a future visit when things are back to some sense of normal after COVID 19...

    Yummy!

    Carne Asada definitely worth it. Chile Relleno delicious. Chips were hot and fresh salsa and queso phenomenal will definitely return.

    While at a workshop conference in the Chicago Lombard area, I decided to order dinner via Uber Eats…read morefrom Fajitas Mexican Restaurant. on a Wednesday evening. I was looking for something warm and flavorful after a long day, and chicken fajitas seemed like the perfect choice. I also ordered a side of rice and sour cream, but upon seeing how large of an amount of food was delivered, I think I may have been able to get by without the additional sides! The chicken fajitas meal included a generous amount of seasoned chicken, refried beans, rice, sour cream, lettuce, a flavorful side sauce, and flour tortillas. There were enough ingredients to make many delicious wraps! The best part of this dish was the chicken, extremely flavorful and well cooked! The flavors all blended together and everything tasted fresh and enjoyable. The tortillas, the flavor of the chicken and the standard sides created a very scrumptious meal! The only downside was that the delivery of my Uber Eats was a bit longer than I expected. However, the food was still great and enjoyed upon arrival. I would definitely be willing to order from Fajitas Mexican Restaurant again, however, I believe I would try dining in on the next occasion to enjoy the meal fresh from the kitchen!

    The service was amazing good margaritas I had fish tacos and a tamale The fish tacos were pretty…read moregood tamale was hard on the outside I had a taco left over and got a to go box I asked for a side of rice and beans to go They charged me eight bucks Be careful on groups of six or more they automatically add 18% then expect you to tip
