We LOVE this place so writing this is frustrating. This is the second time that they have not been open at their posted hours. We moved and now have to drive over. So this is review is about reliability. For those reading. IF you go and eat and IF. They are open you will love the food. Going to have to call first to ensure they are open in the future. read more

The food is Great‼And Great service. The food was ready in no time. We forgot to take pictures it was all gone so quickly.Yummy‼

PHENOMENAL!!! PERIOD!!! FOOD & STAFF First time I had them was for lunch on December 22nd, 2024 and have been there over 100 times since according to credit card statements. read more

I heard good things about this restaurant from at least 2 different friends. I ordered a steak burrito for dinner tonight. The steak was very tough and chewy. Not good. However, the customer service was good. I'm giving it a very generous 3 stars. It's a shame because I rarely eat steak and this place is about 6 blocks from my home. read more

I ordered pozole, but I didn't get what I wanted. They gave me a bean and meat soup instead, and it was very salty. I was really disappointed because it wasn't the dish I ordered or expected. read more

PRO TIP: I checked in on Yelp, and got a 20% off offer. (As of 7/11/22) I read amazing reviews of this place, so I wanted to try it, not listening to my boyfriend who said we had food from this place before. It must not have been memorable the first time- but that was last year when there were more COVID restrictions, so I don't try to base my reviews on that. I always try a place twice. In any case, I was craving ceviche or a cóctel de Camarones (shrimp cocktail) so I searched Yelp and found Los Sarapes. We ordered takeout. I ordered: (my rating are out of 5) Cóctel de Camarones (sized medium) 3.75/5 Pros: -The medium came in a huge cup. I thought they may have given me a large by mistake. -It had about 16 shrimp of various sizes in it and they tasted fresh. They weren't too raw or too cooked (by the acid), they were just right. -It had a lot of avocado; there were more chucks of avocado -and I mean like good size squares - than there were shrimp, and the avocado was probably the best I've ever had. I mean it was perfectly ripe and full of flavor. Cons: It was super watery. If you look at the picture I posted, you can see that there is like no color to the liquid in the cup. Usually, Mexican shrimp cocktails have an amazingly red broth/sauce of tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and lime. But, when I dumped it into a bowl, I found that a lot of the tomatoes and onions were at the bottom. The broth still wasn't red, but it was better. I added a good dose of Cholula and Tapatío land then it was fricking delicious. - I wasn't given the traditional crackers, which is fine. I prefer to eat it with chips or tostada, but I wasn't given a separate order of those to eat it with either. I had to use chips from our chips and salsa order. Cheese enchilada 2/5 Pros - It had good tasting melted cheese in it. - The tortilla seemed fresh Con - Even though the tortilla was red, there was no sauce and thus, there was minimal flavoring to it. Large chips and salsa (2/5) Pros: - Good size bag for the chips. It was one of those brown paper lunch bag sizes. Cons: - The salsa was pretty small to be considered a large order. It also had minimal flavoring. There was no spice to it. It tasted like mainly tomato. My boyfriend's order: (his ratings are out of 10) Los Sarapes taco: 9/10 Pros: - Super flavorful. This is a mix of steak and chorizo and man, even before adding any salsa, it tasted amazing! I think this might be his new favorite taco. Pollo taco: 3/10 Pros: - good amount of chicken Cons: - Bland. - Not very juicy Al Pastor taco: 2/10 Cons: - Bland - No piña. What is Al pastor without pineapple? They have Mexican coke!!! Woot! Overall, would I try this place again? Yes. My boyfriend would get only the Sarapes tacos with onion and cilantro. And I want to try their tostada de ceviche de pescado. I would get the coctel de Camarones again, but it definitely needs some spicing up with Cholula y Tapatío. :) read more

Los Sarapes is absolutely AMAZING!! I've been coming here for years and I recommend it to everyone I come in contact with! Best tacos around the Chicagoland area! read more

The food was not great, as someone that has tried many places this food had no flavor, the red sauce tasted so watered down, absolutely no flavor, and the menudo was rated at 2/10 by my dad. read more

Best sopes I've had. Great tacos! Beans were Awsome too. And we've also tried their lingua tacos and they were tender and cooked well!

Had a company party yesterday and Los Sarapes came out and cooked for us. Hands down the food was fresh and made to order. I highly recommend them. My family and friends have used them from catering to home parties. If you haven't tried them, you're missing out. read more

Food was totally enjoyable and you get a good size portion. The waitress was very attentive.

I love tacos de tripa but sometimes they are not too good. It's ok taco location for the area. The Flautas are good.

Literally the best Mexican food around . I ordered the enchiladas green , 2 Sarapes tacos and milaneza torta they were delicious !!!!! Will definitely recommend ..... read more

The food itself is 4/5 stars but the way that business is ran should be zero I can understand wanting to have your kids or younger family members working the phone and waitresses positions, but when you do please make sure you care enough to properly train them on basic skills Today I called in an order for a taco tray (pork) with just the meat, and onions and cilantro on the side. A large order of rice and beans, and 4 large drinks. When I picked it up the very young girl at the register looked beyond confused but after waiting literally 10 minutes to get my drinks I took food home Upon opening the tray I find the tacos have lettuce tomatoes and cheese on it. And my large beans and rice that I paid for is not included. I called the restaurant and the young lady answered. I explained they forgot some of my food and what they did include was completely wrong. I asked they pick up this food and bring me the correct FULL order. The girl got an attitude and refused to send out order. WHAT?! I'm confused theres paid for food thats missing. Needless to say they should have some adult supervision while having their kids working their handling peoples money and food I will be contacting my credit card company to file fraud charges as they refused to provide what I paid for Don't waste your time here. The food quality isn't worth the headache or the bad customer service. Shame on the owner for not being in tuned with his/her business read more

I used to order cheap tacos on Tuesdays from here for my friends and I for "taco tequila tuesdays" right when they opened and that only lasted a few weeks because tequila is rough lol but the steak & chorizo tacos w/ cilantro and onion are actually outstanding. BUT tonight I ordered the tapiquena dinner STEAK - absolutely amazing. I have ordered a lot of steak dinners from local Mexican spots and this beats El Gallo(crestwood, Beverly & alsip) , beats Pepes(lol) , slaughters los burrito loco, let's just say it's the best I've had on the south suburbs of Chicago. I'd say no to the cactus though lol. I did also order 3 tacos on the side, steak and chorizo, once again 10/10. I hope business is well for this place because I would hate to see one of the only great things left in Midlothian leave!!! Pay them a visit, support! read more

Great Mexican in Midlothain, another great Mexican place on the south side of Chicago. This gets the extra star for "not blasting their music as loud as Calienté does" according to my father. I love their green sauce, super tomatillo-y with a little bit of tang to it. Their red has the nice roasted flavor but isn't too killer. Their salsa is good and guacamole is nice and fresh. If you need the heat they carry El Yucateco, that's the hot sauce Mexicans use and if you need anything hotter than that you bring your own insanity sauce. I ordered the Mexican skillet which provided a more than generous portion of chorizo cooked with potatoes. Eggs were cooked overeasy and the yolk blended in really nicely. It is to be noted that their beans are really good, which sounds ridiculous but they were definitely above average. Most places will just dump them out of the can and heat them up. Same with their rice, it was flavorful and a little tomato-y, which reminds me of my mothers old recipe. My girlfriend ordered the chicken taco dinner and she really liked it. The chicken was nice and moist-- not crazily seasoned or marinated, but cooked right. My dad ordered the steak dinner and I could say the same about the steak -- nice char, easy to chew. His plate came with some cactus which I got to try, and that was pretty good; kinda tangy, nice texture. I also liked the horchata, which had a nice amount of spice to it and wasn't gritty! The service is good and I should mention that the time before we were here, they gave us a little sample of tongue -- it wasn't exactly my thing, but the fact that they let us sample it I was grateful for. Plus if you DO like tongue, it is likely very good. (It did taste good, I just wasn't a fan of the texture.) So maybe if you've got a kid or are otherwise curious about something it seems that they will let you sample at least the not-so-expensive things. This place may not be off a main road, but it is certainly not to be passed up if you need a new Mexican place. read more

Burritos are huge and really delicious! Everything else I have tried has been superb!

While waiting on my daughter I checked Yelp for tacos. My search led me here. Very quaint, esthetically unappealing, sit down restaurant. I ordered carry out...4 steak tacos with lime. I was told 7-8 minute wait. 20 minutes later I received my food. I opened the hot foil which held 4 steak stuffed tacos with onions and extra cilantro, just like I ordered. I few pieces of taco meat escaped the taco into the interior of the foil. It was this little piece of flavorful steak which let me know that I had found myself another Mexican gem. The flavor of the steak was amazing. The steak was tender and the shells were the freshest I've ever had. My corn shells were perfectly soft yet strong. I can't wait to return and try more. read more

The food was good don't get me wrong but that is not what I'm rating it on . I am rating on the service, the service was not good . My waitress was just walking past me and my family not even looking at us and did not even give us plates . we wanted to eat Parrillada and we asked before placing our appetizer , if we could order right after we received the appetizer but she did not come , so when we finished we tried to find our waitress to order dinner but she was no where to be found , not until we had to walk up to her to get her attention . I get that you are working to earn money , but if you are going to work in a restaurant, you might as well as do it right. It is no surprise why the is restaurant was as empty as it was on a Saturday night. read more

Torta was good the last time I went. I tried calling to place an order on a different occasion. No one picked up at first. Finally when someone did, I heard talking in the background but they just hung up. They may have just lost my business. read more

Solid food. So happy I went after a few pints across the street at Shelleys House of Slots and Pub. Caught it out of the corner of my eye as I took a left into Berkots parking lot. Chick had the chorizo and egg burrito. Never in my life would I have ordered something like that, but damn if it wasnt good.I went my usual extreme taco route. El Pastor, Lengua and Tripe. El Pastor was the weakest link. Good flavor, but dry. I dont do dry. The tripe was actually very good and Lengua hit the spot. Plenty of onion, cilantro and limes. They had a very good chop sauce. Not a salsa, but it did have a bit of a kick. This is on my list of solid mexican joints in the south suburbs. Check in at the site, and get a nice 20% coupon. I forgot to do that, but saved it for later. read more

I love Mexican food and this one is a hidden gem. Very good, food is hot and very flavorful. I don't understand why others go to their competition in the same neighborhood and blocks away. Los Sarapes hits the spot. read more

First time here and I ordered two Chicken Tacos and One Shrimp Taco... Omg sooo damn good and filled me up! Will be back soon!

This place truly rocks when it come to the Mexican cuisine.?? Went about a week ago got the taco dinner, the steak burrito and the tostadas. Of course this was for family, and everyone truly enjoyed this food. The waitress was extremely attentive with our take out order, and helped us select the choices, since it was our first time there. I have a tendency to select chef's dinners, but I was urged to try the simple entrees first for flavor etc. then come back and try dinner. Which is exactly what I am doing tonight?? If you are ever in the area go there and try it. The only negative point was when I was there is was about 8:00 in the evening. They need to pay attention to the floor area. It was not too tidy. But I am returning anyway!! read more

Honestly my favorite salsas at any Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. The mild is delicious but but hot red and hot green are fantastic if you like spice. I use half of the green bottle whenever I'm there. The owners are from Mexico and you can taste the freshness and authenticity in the food! My usual is the steak tacos and I haven't ventured from them because they are so good. Rice and beans are delicious as well! The owners are nice, the servers are nice, highly recommend if you're in the area! I come frequently for a quick, tasty lunch whenever I'm in the area. read more

Best steak tacos ever! My boyfriend and I love this place. Tamales are not good at all.

This food is sooo good. I can cook but I'm telling you that this is better than anything I have ever done.. The nachos truly are super nachos....guac, sour cream, jalapenos, meat cheese, tomatoes, lettuce. I hummed while I ate. And less than ten bucks. Nice! read more

Los Sarapes - That's half a burrito from the burrito dinner and 1/3 the Super Nachos. - Mexican Near Me - Midlothian, Illinois

It's probably the best local authentic Mexican restaurant in town. Food is about average with the one exception of the "Carne en su jugo" I get it for my family and they absolutely love it, some may even say it's better then "los gallos" (a restaurant in the city known for the carne en su jugo). The service says a lot of the place, to me at least and that needs major improvement. read more

I will NEVER come back to this place again. The server lupita was a joke. I ordered a side of eggs for my child and she waited 25 min to let me know they ran out of eggs. She came back at least 3 times asking us to repeat our order even tho she wrote it down. I also ordered the eggs with ham Plate and it was litteraly just ham. She Never came to our table to check up on us. read more
