It comes with fries inside, but I has them put them on the side. The steak and shrimp were good. However, barely any steak or shrimp inside the burrito. I did like the crisp on the outside.

Big Mexican population in Joliet so it's no surprise there's a lot of such restaurants in the city…read more It has many that are on the authentic side such as this. Azul Celeste is a fun gathering place for drinks as well as food. Has okay prices on most items. They have a not so big menu but there's still plenty of options. A kind of unassuming building. It's located downtown, which isn't pretty. The inside is a lot better, with fun things like slots. A lot of cocktails to choose from. It's about $10 for a margarita. A few flavors are available. I got it with the mango. A limited menu for food. It's $10 for guacamole. This is great for dipping chips and other stuff. Chill atmosphere early and later gets better. It's located in downtown on Chicago Avenue at Benton in a building that looks sketchy. The menu has cocktails, taco, and other things.

From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free--no small feat when you're ordering on short notice. The food was fantastic: fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Portions were extremely generous--we had more than enough for everyone, with leftovers to spare. They didn't skimp on anything, especially the abundance of sides. Salsas, chips, toppings, and extras were plentiful, which made it easy for everyone to customize their plates. Everything was packaged well, available to pick up on time and was a total crowd-pleaser. If you need catering in a pinch (or honestly, even if you don't), this place is reliable, delicious, and worth every penny. We will absolutely use them again.

He suggested El Primo, in Joliet, as he and his wife visit there for breakfast. He took us out for lunch. This place did not disappoint! We sat in the open area, outside of where the bar is located. My husband had the enchiladas supreme with beef and topped with green sauce and avocado, and I had the enchilada with chicken and red sauce. Both dishes included refried beans and rice. Our meals were delicious, and it was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have eaten at, in a very long time. We also had a margarita. They were huge! The waitress was very friendly and prompt with our order. The price for the amount of food was very reasonable, considering how much food they put on your plate. We will definitely come back there to eat, the next time we are in Illinois.

Let me start by saying I don't usually write reviews unless I feel it can truly help a restaurant…read moregrow. I understand how hard it is to run a business like this, so I always aim to be fair and constructive. That said, after giving Don Rafa another try this past Friday, I feel compelled to share my experience. My wife and I had visited this restaurant in the past, and we've always had mixed results--sometimes okay, sometimes not so much. Because of that inconsistency, we stepped away for a while. Recently, we decided to give it another shot and ordered a variety: fajitas, a chicken torta, and enchiladas. Unfortunately, all three were disappointing. The beef in the fajitas was inedible--so tough it had to be thrown out. The chicken wasn't grilled or sizzling as expected, but stewed in an overly salty sauce. The torta, which I usually enjoy, was likely made with the same salty chicken and was drenched in wet ingredients, making it soggy and unpleasant--though the bread itself was toasted nicely. The enchiladas were the biggest letdown. We tried all varieties--beef, chicken, pork, and cheese--and none were enjoyable. The beef was tough, the chicken overly salted, and the cheese had an odd, overly salty flavor. The red and green sauces poured over them were thin, watery, and lacked depth. Compared to the enchiladas we've enjoyed in Texas or even some places in Chicago, these were unfortunately the worst we've had. I share this not out of malice, but in hopes the owners or cooks see this as an opportunity to make improvements. Consistency, meat quality, and seasoning levels matter. If you wouldn't want to eat the dish yourself, it shouldn't be served. I genuinely hope things turn around--this area could really use a great Mexican spot. But based on our most recent experience, I have to give it one star.

From the outside it looks very unassuming as it is tucked away in a strip mall. However, upon entry the restaurant is expansive and dimly lit. We later found out it doubles as a type of nightclub restaurant some evenings. Fun! Les was the bartender there that day, and she was so helpful and friendly. She advised what type of drink we should order according to our tastes and she promptly brought out chips and salsa. Beware of the super hot one, ha ha! I can handle heat, but this knocked my socks off! Les also allowed me to taste test a couple of various samples of different drinks in order to see what I would like. So friendly and professional! The margarita was delicious, I cannot refute that! A majority of the menu contained a lot of fish, hence the name of the establishment. However, since I do not eat fish there was only a quesadilla for me. I therefore did not order anything for myself, but got the children a fish and chips type of meal. They absolutely loved it! We will definitely return. The vibe is ultra cool there!
