a plate of mexican food

The food looked really good but it wasn't as expected. Service was good. Other ppl that came after us got the food first.

I noticed this evening that the Mexican options in my town are far too limited. I was craving some tacos. Not the kind of "tacos" that you'd find at the Taco Bell Drive-Thru drowning in cheese and sour cream, but the authentic Mexican variety with lots of chopped raw onions, cilantro and salsa - nom nom nom. I guess that I could have had this made at any Mexican restaurant, but La Siesta is the one place that had the closest thing already listed on their menu. We each went with 3 of the Tacos Rancheros, which were steak, salsa verde, raw onions, and cilantro on a corn tortilla. The tacos were really good in that the steak was tender and not fatty as you sometimes find. These tacos took me back to the perfect tacos I had in Vegas back in January at Asada Tacos on Fremont Street. My only complaint was that I prefer a lot more raw onions -- so next time I will ask for extra. (My other favorite menu items at La Siesta include their seafood chimichangas, the cheese & chorizo appetizer and their enchiladas.) Although the food was perfectly delicious, my experience ordering was a bit of a cluster. I called in my order for carry-out and the girl taking the order was super confused. It could have been a language barrier or it could have been the fact that I have a slight lisp thanks to my braces. Either way, I was extremely grateful when someone else called me back about 5 minutes later to ask what it was I wanted. I prefer having to give my order again then get all the way home and it be wrong and my night ruined. La Siesta still has my vote for the best Mexican food in town!

The mango margaritas here are the best I've ever had! I also love their tortillas chips. The ones with the air bubbles are my favorite.

Never again. Food was really mediocre. Service was worse. I should have gone to Taco Bell.

As of this moment, Taco Del Norte is my favorite Mexican Restaurant in the Kankakee area. There are…read moresome I haven't tried yet, but from the several I have tried, they have the best menu and best tasting food by far. My wife and I have been here a few times and I will say it is very off putting in appearance at first. It's on the corner of a strip mall, it is a bus stop for a few of the Mexican bus lines and the interior is a little outdated, but man the food makes up for it. We have both tried numerous things on the menu and we have liked everything we have had so far. It all has good flavor and spice. I don't recall either of us having anything bland. The serving sizes are huge, which I will never complain about, I usually like having leftovers. The prices are on average with the other restaurants in the area, but I feel like you get more. I am a Guacamole snob. I love it, but many places have it and some do not make it right. TDN does an excellent job with their guac. You also get a good amount for what you pay for, which can't be said for many other places. We have also never had an issue with the wait staff. They always seem to be on top of things and will come often to refill drinks and such. I have and will suggest Taco Del Norte to people who live in or are visiting the Kankakee area. It's only a few minutes directly south of I-57.

There are a few Mexican restaurants in the Bradley/Bourbonnais area Tacos Del Norte is the BEST!…read moreThe service is fast and always accurate. The Chips and salsa that is brought to every table is nice too. I couldn't ask for a better more authentic place for Mexican food!

Muy Delicioso! I…read moreordered the carne asada. It was great. I asked for extra lime and that took it over the top! She gave us the standard chips and salsa to start and then brought salsa verde with the meal. I would definitely eat there again, but we were just passing through on vacation. The town is a bit sketchy, but I don't think it was just limited to this section. Hard to know that from just looking on a map, but wanted to throw that out there in case it helps someone else.

I ordered a burrito and my friend ordered the tacos. When they came to take our order first, they…read moretold us there were no soft drinks available. They were out of all of them. The table was dirty and the chairs were sticky. They brought our food. My friend's tacos had no tomatoes, no onions,and only two of them had cheese. The last one did not. My burrito had absolutely nothing on it except for the meat and lettuce. No sour cream, no cheese, no tomatoes, no onions. I pointed this out and asked them to either refund my money or make me a proper one. He said they would make me another one and he brought it out. It had meat, lettuce, a little sour cream, and two little squares of tomato placed strategically at the opening of either half. Still no cheese, still no onion and no other tomato other than the two little squares. I didn't feel like dealing with it again, so I just took it. Then we went to leave and he said that they were out of sacks. If you want to eat there again, you better hurry because I don't think they're going to be there long.
