I grew up and lived in southern CA my whole life and moved here two years ago and this place is great. Whether the food is "authentic" or not depends on what you get. I ordered 5 tacos for me and my wife for $20 and it was amazing. Great value and they gave a ton of meat as well. The staff were also friendly and greeted you. The decor was also very nice and you felt like you're on vacation while you ate. This place is a great compromise for good Mexican food and 100% authentic. PS I ordered the chicken tacos which are bad anywhere you go around here but they were by far my favorite of any Mexican restaurant I've been to. Would highly recommend this place for Mexican food lovers. read more

I went. I ate. I would not walk across the street again for it. Sometimes I wonder if some Mexican restaurants are just trying too hard. If you are an authentic Mexican food lover, I'm not sure this is the place for you. Having grown up in Southern California I experienced some of the best hole-in-the-wall Mexican joints. Moving to Chicago, it's different but there are some fantastic substitutes but Invicto isn't one of them. Sorry I wasted nearly $40 for my wife and I there. read more

This was a fun little stop! I went twice during the week, so that should say something. Both visits the team was super helpful and the service was great. I ordered at the counter and grabbed a seat the first day. I got an asada burrito. It was cooked well and full of meat. The salsa options put it over the top. I got to bounce back and forth between hot and cool. The decor inside is pretty cool, the tables are perfect for the venue. On the second visit I got a taco plate and it was done before I sat down! Pork and beef, both were awesome! I also got a margarita, they need to highlight these on the menu, they were just what a guy needed! Great food, great service, great location! read more

Had some pretty casual Mexican food. Invicto is another one of these such restaurants in Naperville. Basically you order at the counter. Kind of overpriced. They also have limited options for vegetarians it seems. Coming in here it kind of looks like a chain. It's just got a pretty corporate feel to it. This is apparently one location of a few in the suburbs. At least the food comes out fast. Has only a few tables. Basically why most orders are carryout. It's about $8 for a margarita. Comes in a regular pop cup. Fuck no. Also not that impressive of a flavor. Maybe not worthy of a glass. Basically people come here for the food. It's about $12 for the Taco Plate. Choose fillings. We got ours with the vegetables. Comes with beans and rice. Said the fried avocados have milk, so we didn't get those. Okay but basic. The rest of the menu has chicken and quesadillas. Got to say it's not worth the charges. It's located in Freedom Commons amongst the chain restaurants. There's a few things for vegans and vegetarians. read more

My husband and I have heard mixed reviews of invicto and finally decided to try it out for ourselves. This fast casual spot offers tacos, burritos, milkshakes, fries, etc. I would say it's a more upscale version of chipotle. The vibe is definitely of a taqueria. My concern though was I couldn't tell if chairs and tables were made to look rough or if the place was dirty. I'd say it was a mix of both. Service was fast - there are 2 kiosks where customers are able to put in an order. There is not a front counter with someone taking orders. After ordering, our food was ready within 3-5 mins. We both ordered the 1 taco and 1 quesadilla entree that comes with rice and beans. A cheese quesadilla and a chicken quesadilla cost the exact same. In my opinion, even if you don't want chicken you might as well get it and pick it off to give it to whoever you're with instead haha. Quality wise it was decent but not at the price point it's at. 1 steak taco is $6 (without a side). read more

I remembered liking the one in Vernon Hills, so I decided to go for it while I was in the neighborhood, but I was disappointed. The decor seemingly was exactly the same as the VH location. Relatively clean with a couple people dining in. Nothing funky. As per usual, I ordered using a kiosk. One kiosk had some issues with on-screen keyboard, where the bottom row didn't come up far enough for me to type the "@" symbol for my email address. A minor mishap, but the one next to it was working fine. I was with the family, so we ordered one birria plate, which came with two birria tacos plus rice n' beans, one deep fried avocado taco, two chicken tacos and one tostada. The place wasn't super busy, so food came out relatively quick. I saw a couple employees making food behind the counter, but didn't really interact with them. Not much to say about the service except.... All the food were salty beyond any flavor. I grew up in a household where I was taught not to leave any food on my plate. But by the time I was three-quarters done, I simply could not take any more bites and had to toss them. It's really unfortunate, since I really didn't get a chance to enjoy the flavor of the food beyond a few bites. Once I started chewing, all I could feel was my lips burning from the salt. Could have been just that day, so I hate giving the low score, but I'm probably never going back, so I figured I'd give my 2 cents.. read more

I was totally disappointed about this place I was truly looking forward to this hype All over the internet specially the one on oakbrook bit o was very disappointed!!!!! The food was not good at all I had 2 tacos and a chocolate shake it was the worse shake I ever had my son order a cemita chiken I don't know why they even make restraints like this to bring Mexican food down. The salsas were so horrible and I don't mean to be so negative about this place but not only was the food tasteless but the Prices were extremely pricey I did not even finish my shake and trust me I am A chocoholic but the shake was so horrible I did ask for a churro it was ok The service it was like you order on a laptop and you go pick up your own food A fast service kind of thing The ambiance very authentic of a Poor FONDA in Mexiconot my kind of place not coming back read more

Here at Invicto you walk in and feel like you have traveled across the world to a little Hispanic town, where all the locals go for a good meal! The hanging plants, the tile-work, and the colors welcome you in for an experience that will bring you back time and time again! The food is made fresh and very flavorful! You cannot go wrong on this menu. Ordering is easy on the kiosk and for every meal Invicta sells, they donate a meal for a child in school in a developing country. So yes the menu is a little pricier, but when you know the extra few dollars go to better the world, it makes it worth it! Be sure to stop in and plan to spend a little bit of time in this little time-warp. read more

I ordered two burritos from Invicto and apparently also signed up for a lifetime supply of rice. I opened them up expecting steak, beans, flavor... instead it looked like a rice cooker exploded into a tortilla. At this point I should've just gone to Costco, bought a 20lb bag of rice, and wrapped it in paper towels. Same experience, cheaper price. If you're into paying burrito prices for a carb loaded piñata of disappointment, this place is for you. read more

First off when I walked in. No hello. We waited to get our order taken patiently just to be yelled at: "Go over there. The screen." So we did. I have one rule for a restaurant: when I walk in and don't smell the food AND I am not greeted at all by anyone I walk out. I should've stuck to that. When you walk in you can't smell food and the ambience is dead. We ordered asada quesadillas with rice and fries and it came with chips. We also got asada nachos. Portions generous. Steak pretty much seasoned well. Chips so salty and so thick I almost broke a front teeth. Wouldn't have been so hard if they were fresh however the nachos chips were made out of a thick tortilla to begin with. Salsa bar is amazing every sauce was banging! Cheese for quesadillas so low quality. We didn't even finish them. The people that work here are mean. Got part of our order wrong and was reluctant to change it. I mean.. ugly stares and rolled eyes and all. Not worth it for overpriced subpar food. My boyfriend said we were better off at chipotle and he didn't lie. That sums this review up. read more

Invicto - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Invicto continues to be a favorite suburban mexican spot of mine. Their menu can be a tad pricey but everything is fresh and made to order. They have a wide variety of meat and vegetarian protein options for all food offerings. I loved the new addition of the salsa bar that was self serve. Also, don't skip out on the churro milkshakes! Tip: there is no one to take orders. They have kiosk computers in the corner that one orders at. The top of the screen will have the food categories. Once one selects: you choose your protein type, if you want it grilled or not, and sometimes what sides you'd like. It is the last screen where you can customize your order to exclude toppings. This took me a bit to find. read more

Literally the best steak tacos I've ever had. I love how the salsa bar has many good options. I love to dress my taco up with like 2-3 different sauces and it tastes amazing!!!! Ive been here over a dozen times. read more

OMG - first bite was deliciousness exploding in my mouth. This was good. I had a Pollo Asado Taco, Mulas with Chicken, and Jamaica agua Fresca. Let's just say this exceeded my expectations since I'm from San Diego where we have some of the best Mexican eateries. This place's ambience is "happy" - like "fiesta!" with the music playing. They also have a salsa bar. I might come back for dinner tomorrow... I actually want another Mulas...but I'm so full. All of this for $16 - reasonable prices I must say. Now I want a churro (which they also have). read more

This is the best Mexican food in Illinois. We've eaten here 5-6 times since trying it for the first time a few weeks ago. After trying Mexican food on the west coast, I was searching for a local place that's similar. I didn't even know if something like that existed. Do you realize how excited I was to learn Invicto is only 10 minutes from me?!? Ah! I've tried the ground beef, pork, shrimp, and steak tacos. All delicious. The steak is my ultimate favorite and shrimp is next. Their fries with queso?!? AMAZING!!!!! My husband loves their California burritos and vampiros. Their horchata is also amazing!!! Invicto is a very chill vibe. You order at kiosks and then grab the food from the pickup window. It's pretty pricey, but the quality of food makes it worth it. Highly recommend eating here! read more

Great meal!!! Their Queso is my favorite and their tacos are awesome! Paloma's are great too!

Went to invicto with one of my friends for lunch on a busy Saturday evening. There were TONSS of people, which is not a surprise because they truly have some of the best food in the area! I got the chicken nacho burrito and some elotes on the side. We also tried their horchata milk shake (not pictured). The burrito was veryyy delicious!! The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the blend of sauces inside went perfectly with their green and red salsas!! I would say that there were a lot more nachos than I expected inside the burrito. So in that case, I do like the California burrito with chicken a little more. But it was still a solid burrito. The elotes were AMAZINGG!! The creaminess and the crunchiness were literally in symbiosis (I KNOW BIG FREAKING WORD!!!) with one another!! Would definitely recommend Invicto for anyone in the try wanting to try delicious Mexican food!! read more

*Online order review* I have to say, I don't often have success ordering Mexican for delivery, but Invicto did exactly what they needed to do! I ordered through Uber Eats and went with the chips and guacamole with a carne asada taco on corn tortilla. The chips are soooo good. When I think of a homemade, perfectly salted, *crunchy* tortilla chip, I would imagine Invicto's chips. They had all the right ingredients and truly tasted like they were made with love. The guac, however, was a little underwhelming. I really hoped it would pair perfectly with the chips, but I just ended up eating the chips on their own and throwing the guac on my taco. The food came perfectly packaged and warm when it arrived. I would 100% recommend ordering online from Invicto, and as long as their service is as great as their food, a dining in experience should be great as well! read more

Fun spot to grab fresh food! I came in for lunch and had the Taqueria Bowl with shrimp and added guac. The bowl was loaded with ingredients and tasted very fresh. The rice and beans base was very flavorful as were the shrimp. I do wish there were more shrimp especially with the $2 upcharge. Love the salsa bar and especially enjoyed the piña and verde. Will be back to try more! read more

The first time I came here, everything tasted delicious and fresh. Second time, it seemed like quality has gone down. I guess you order from a kiosk now instead of the staff like before. The Cali burrito was what I fell in love with the first time. Staff was friendly and efficient at getting food out. Place was clean. Unfortunately, I'll stick with local Mexican restaurants that give you more for your buck. read more

I'm pretty sure I've found the BEST STREET MEXICAN FOOD right outside of Chicago and it's here ! The flavors of EVERYTHING was so delicious! I was able to try quite a few things and I was in shock at how each item I had was so good! The vibes inside definitely give you neighborhood Mexico taqueria and there are Spanish tunes playing! There's options for pescatarians and vegetarians, so everyone can enjoy their food AND they have a bar with select Mexican drinks! Eats I tried: Elotes Papas Espesciales Grande Plate - comes with a sope, vampiro, taco, rice and beans and your choice of protein Cali Burrito - loaded with fries, cheeses and your choice of protein Churro shakes - Horchata & Strawberry It's easy to order your food on one of the touchscreen kiosk, and before you know it, your order is being served to you; it goes by very quickly! Naperville and Vernon Hills are the current locations, but 3 MORE LOCATIONS are opening soon! You have to get by here and try one of the tasty Vampiros, tacos or amazingly good milkshakes! Check them out and tell them that Planes & Plates sent you!!! read more

I don't know how this place has high reviews, this was disgusting! It takes a lot for me to feel the need to review a place. I ordered two tacos, chips and queso, and a margarita. The only thing edible was the chips and queso. The tacos were so bland, I don't think any seasoning was added to the meat and the margarita was so gross I had one sip and decided I'd eat the $10 I spent on it and throw it away. It tasted like straight sour mix and was neon green which already was a sign it was going to be nasty. Taco Bell is way better than this. read more

I was brought here by a friend, because they make their own tortillas! It is a little on the pricier side, but totally worth it. I got the Carne asada taco, and the crispy avocado taco in my taco plate. The rice: this is the best Mexican rice I've ever had. Even my friend, who doesn't like rice, liked it. Even just writing this is making me hungry. The beans: I gave them to my friend, and she loved them. The Elote: It tasted fresh and tasty! It seemed a little different than previous elote I've ordered elsewhere, but I couldn't tell you why (just that I liked it). Definitely coming back, and bringing my man. read more

Invicto was an interesting experience. I was intrigued by other reviews online, but a little put off by the images of what appeared to be card tables in the dining room. Walking in it appeared as expected, although if I hadn't read those reviews, I wouldn't have known to proceed to the computers in the corner to place my order. The ordering process went smoothly, the options and prices were clear, except for some clunkiness at the end which instructed me to print my receipt to get my order number. And that's what it felt like -- a number. No one asked my name, it was unclear if humans were running the establishment, and no one really spoke. Some human connection would have been nice after a lonely few days of business travel. While waiting for my food, I noticed the dirty tables, load music, and curious dystopian bar that begged to be walked away from. They called my number, gave me my food and an empty cup and I proceeded to the soda fountain which.......sprayed watery Diet Coke all over me and the floor. All in all the crunchy burrito was delicious, the rice and beans acceptable, and the soda a bit flat. Thanks for the memories, Invicto. read more

I was intrigued by this place after seeing the online reviews. Went inside and the place looks NOTHING like the reviews. There were barely any people inside. I ordered my food online and went to the restaurant to pick it up. I stood there for five minutes waiting for someone to help me. One woman behind the counter kept looking at me but never once asked if I needed help. One of the cooks came around and asked. And told me my order was on the other side. Almost walked out realizing and forgot my drink. Had to wait another five minutes for my shake to be made. In ordered the nacho burrito with chicken. There were a couple of small pieces of chicken but mostly filled with rice and queso sauce. Also the shake wasn't that great. I will never go back here again after that experience. There's zero human interaction. And the food isn't even that great. read more

The feel of contemporary street taco and traditional Mexican. The bright vibe walking in is welcoming and fun. The tacos are small scale and to order 1-3 per person based on price. You can get corn or flour and protein option. The fun difference is they had fried avocados as an option. We tried the chicken and steak tacos, flour and corn tortillas. The tacos were trickled with onions, cilantro and a very nice sauce. The menu board doesn't tell you specifics on what's in the menu items. I didn't ask which is unlike me. There was allot of fresh cut corn in with the meat and the sauce. I usually omit corn so that was a little bit of a bummer but I didn't ask. I didn't put the oil on my salad, I put the quesadilla sauce on it which was really nice. LOVED the fries! Crunchy, flavorful and thick. Great guacamole. My husband was bummed the tortilla chips were not complimentary. They have shakes, pie and alcoholic drinks. Our kids had the Mexican soda and wanted some of the fun Mexican candy after but were sugared up so much from the soda that wasn't needed. If you try them ask for specifics on menu items since menu doesn't specify. Fair pricing, but expect to pay for at least 2 tacos, mayb read more

When you find a taco shop that makes incredible tacos you spread the word. So here I am, spreading the word! Invicto has a prime location and for good reason, they make absolutely delicious food! I had a taco plate and at first bite knew immediately that I under-ordered. More tacos is what I wanted... more! Going with the steak and the shrimp I was not disappointed. Each one was so tasty! However, I have to say the shrimp is better. What really makes them is the sauce; no clue what it is but it will change your life. Accompanying them was rice and beans that hold their own. In addition, I had some chips and queso - wow, that is GOOD queso! All this amazing fare is served in a setting worth hanging out in. They have tables inside and out, a small bar you can sit at, or you can easily take it to go. Plus, ordering from the kiosk couldn't be any simpler. This first visit will not be the last as I am a big, BIG fan of Invicto! read more

I usually do not review unless something is extraordinarily good or extraordinarily bad. However, three things. Number one the drink machine sprayed water every time we tried to fill the cup. Yes, there was soda coming out of it, but there was large amounts of water leaking from and spraying all over at the same time. Makes me wonder whether it was sanitary or not. Secondly, we ordered guacamole and chips and the salt was poured all over the chips so much that they were inedible. I ordered tacos and the meat was so greasy that I was sick all evening.. however the chicken burritos that my friend ordered apparently was really good. Definitely not encouraged to come back. read more

I'm embarrassed it took me so long to find this place! What a gem! My husband and I went into here on an early Friday evening and were one of two tables in the whole place. We ordered on the self-service kiosk, which worked great. Drinks were fastly given and after 5-10 minutes our food was ready to pickup at the counter. We dined in and the tables/ chairs are not much to talk about, but really help create a more authentic vibe! The service was fantastic and the music was good too. (I also get this place is probably great to sit outside in the summer for!) The food was AMAZING. I ordered the avocado taco dinner plate and everything was delicious! The elote was good, and the portion sizes were great. I will say the margarita left a little to be desired, but I might be a tad snobby on margs so could just be me. But I would prob di a cervesa instead of a marg next time. As far as pricing, it wasn't overly expensive, but it was $50 for two dinner plates + one soft drink + one marg + one side of elote. However I did think the price was still worth it! The food seemed very fresh. Cannot wait to return and try more food! read more
