My partner and I have been driving by this place for the past 3 years since it opened, and we finally decided to come in. The chips and salsa were offered for free, and the salsa is tasty. For drinks, my partner ordered the Mexican Coke and I ordered Joe's Peach tea. I was happy to find out Joe's tea is made with sugar not High Fructos Corn Syrup. I wanted to try a shrimp taco, fish taco, and enchilada, while my partner wanted to try the birria and al pastor. So, I ordered the combo which comes with 1 taco (shrimp), 1 enchilada (cheese, verde, suiza), and 1 quesadilla (beef) and he ordered the 3 taco (tilapia, al pastor, and birria) dinner. He ate my quesadilla and I ate his fish taco. He absolutely loved the birria taco. He said it was different and had more spice in the consume than at other places. He also over the beef quesadilla. Unfortunately, he didn't taste any pineapple on the Al pastor, so that was his least favorite. I loved the shrimp taco. It had 4 large, well seasoned shrimp and three slices of avocado along with chipotle mayo, slaw, and ai squeezed lime over the top. I will definitely get this again. The tilapia was blackened, but didn't have as much flavor as the shrimp. The enchilada was okay. I want to try their red sauce next time. We also ordered the churro bite which were delicious. They come with chocolate, cajeta, and vanilla sauces in the side, and the individual churros are coated in cinnamon sugar. They were fresh and hot. Our waitress was very helpful and on top of things. She had perfect timing as well. The interior is well lit and beautifully decorated for Christmas. And don't miss the coat/purse hangers on the side of the booths. When I first saw the name Meshico, I didn't know it was more historically accurate for the Nahuatl pronunciation of Mexihco. But I appreciate that this place is named this, because it made me look it up, and ai learned something. read more

Nice, quiet, and friendly place to stop by to get a plate of some great Mexican food. The pastor burrito was great, and the carne asada was flavorful. They don't specialize in Quesabirria, but the flavor is still cooked into the meat well. The owner and her daughter were checking in on everyone, and making sure the food was excellent. read more

Celebrated my son's 17th birthday by ordering some authentic Mexican food to take home and decided to give Meshico a try and it did not disappoint. I actually would like to sit inside to dine in next time since the inside is very cute. We ordered mole, chili rellenos and tilapia and everything was very good. Front desk was very nice and I would definitely go back again. Our new favorite Mexican place in the neighborhood! read more

It was just ok. The taco salad was good but u can't really mess up a taco salad. I came here for the quesabirria which was disappointing. There wasn't a lot of meat, the cheese wasn't really melted, and it tasted very burnt. The consome was an extra charge which I never experienced before bc the whole point of it is to dip the tacos. The service was good though our waitress was very nice. I will give them a second chance but I will order something else. The churros we got for desert were delicious though. They were hot and fresh and came with three sauces vanilla chocolate and caramel I'm excited to try the fried ice cream next. read more

Can't wait to come back! Food and service were awesome. Enchiladas were great. Cute place too!

We drove almost an hour to meet with friends. The reviews were good, so we decided to try it. First, it's small...even the booths and tables are squishy. Let me start and finish the service review with one word...bad. The food was not good, and took forever. The smallest amount of rice was given and both the beans and rice are tasteless. Very expensive for what you get. The chips are store bought and no alcoholic beverages? One and done. read more

Amazing food, decor and service! Highly recommend. The type of quality you would receive at a high end Mexican restaurant downtown.

Our meal was soup, salad and an enchilada dinner to share! See for yourself, the meal was amazing! read more

Meshico Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Palos Heights, Illinois

Went yesterday, great food and service . Got two chicken tacos very nice . Clean bathroom I'll be back next time in town .

So, this place could have a good thing. Pretty small limited seating. Ambiance is nice. Servers are friendly, food is top notch. Here are the negatives, place is small, servers are inattentive, service extremely slow, place is not connected to each other to perform a successful dinner rush. Went there for dinner tacos and a burrito. Was there for one hour and a half. Such slow service. Two servers running like barnyard chickens trying to keep up with a full house but really fell short. Four groups of four or more walked out because no one greeted them or there was no where to put them, empty tables not being cleaned and ready to turn, get someone that takes care of that and customers requests and greeting customers tell them it will be 15 minutes don't let them just stand at the door and get frustrated,that worker also will get more salsa, more tea/water etc..people trying to give you their money but you refuse to take it. Once they leave in frustration they tell three people and so on, it really hurts your business in more ways that you would think. Can't turn away customers. This place can and should survive, the food is very good but they need to rally the troops and get help on how to run a business. Too many loose strings. A pitcher of iced tea with zero ice, a thimble size of salsa with the chips, charge me more but get it right. This restaurant was severely over burdened and certainly fell way short on ability to handle a very busy time frame. I also suggest a frozen margarita machine. Give it a try, but I recommend a very slow time which may be often if they don't get their ability to run a restaurant corrected. read more

Cute little place. Loved the chips and they give you 3 different sauces. I had the chicken fajitas which were delicious.

food and drinks were great! reasonably priced and quick. Restaurant is small but turns over quickly. The drinks we delicious, not syrupy, you can tell they made them from scratch. read more

Food is amazing. Steak tacos and rice are 10/10. Birria tacos are very good as well. Service is excellent and staff is very friendly and polite. The restaurant is SO CUTE I'm obsessed. Everyone should eat here Check out Meshico for a good dining experience. read more

This was my friends and myself first time there. The food was very good. I had the steak tacos with the cilantro and onions. Very good. I'm used to the American style with lettuce and tomatoes. Not sure if they offer that too but I can ask the next time I go there. My friends were happy with their food as wells. Server was very friendly and helpful. I had Horchata which I love. We will be back again!! I wanted to add one more thing to this review. Being that winter is upon us the only issue I had was where we were seated in the restaurant. Every time the door opened this blast of cold hit our table. When I go in the winter months I'll have to remember not to sit where we sat before. It was very uncomfortable trying to eat our meal. Other than this seating issue, the food was delicious. read more

The food is great and location is local and a lot of parking. The taco salad is excellant fresh and in home made shell

Amazing food. Possibly the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. Everything from the chips to the burritos were amazing. The service was pretty nice too, the server was kind and did not mess anything up. It is not a huge restaurant, just a relatively small place that has some booths to sit at. Wasn't waiting for too long on food. Wonderful place! read more

The food was delicious! The flautas were made perfectly! The beans and rice had great flavor.

This place is an absolute gem! The food is flavorful and authentic. The best mole I've ever had!

We tried Meshico last night on a whim, and it was a great decision. My wife ordered a 3-taco dinner, all chicken. I ordered the same, but with two steak and one chicken taco. We also ordered chips and salsa - this was all for takeout. First, the salsa - very fresh and not too hot. It was the perfect combination of ingredients. Next - TACOS. Everything was fantastic. Each taco was wrapped in paper and then in foil to keep everything hot. The rice and beans sides were tasty - and there were peas in the rice, which was a great touch. You don't see that everywhere. The tacos were great - they weren't smothered in cheese or sour cream the way some places do. Great fresh cilantro taste. The chicken and steak were done to perfection. The staff were great, and the restaurant itself is very cozy and clean. Next time we'll eat in. A great touch was the photos of Mexican movie stars on the walls (Pedro Infante, Maria Felix, etc). I've never seen that done before. Very cool. Try them soon - you will NOT regret it. read more

Went to have dinner with some coworkers. Small restaurant but service was good. They followed up at different times times to ensure we had enough chips, water or needed anything else. I ordered the mole, I thought the portion was on the small side but the taste was above average (see picture). Overall it was a good experience, prices are on the high side. read more

Been waiting for this restaurant to open for quite awhile, finally heard that they were open so I had to give it a try. First impressions were that this is a fairly small restaurant and it is super clean. I would say that this a little bit of a upscale place judging by the menu descriptions of the dishes and presentation of the food. The food was very good and it was delivered to the table piping hot. Chips and salsa were served at the table and refills were offered when needed. Also there is a upcharge if using a credit card here, three percent. My only gripes are that every time the door was opened you got a artic blast from the cold weather outside and they only serve pop in cans (unless you order Mexican Coke). read more

Great prices with even greater food !! The service was helpful and the restaurant was extra clean !!

Mediocre stale tacos, frozen fries, and soggy rice. I do not recommend this place to anyone that is looking for anything close to authentic tacos read more

Dined in with our family of 3 on a Monday night. Nice seating, restaurant was busy but we didn't wait long for anything. Waitress was absolutely wonderful! So sweet and very attentive despite her other tables. Food was delicious!!!! We all had some sort of steak and we cleaned our plates! Everything was fresh and homemade. Prices are very reasonable and well worth it! So happy to find this gem and will definitely go back! Thanks Meshico for a fabulous meal! read more

The restaurant staff is very warm and welcoming even when you are showing up minutes before closing. The steak tacos were delicious . I would give 5 stars except for the rice ....it tasted processed. Easy fix but I fear it is a franchise decision. Tacos awesome, clean place , nice staff. read more
