    Enchiladas Suizas
    Denise M.

    Visited the restaurant recently. It was great. Nice decor, lots of booths and friendly staff. I ordered the chicken Enchiladas Suizas and my nephew ordered carne asada tacos. All the food was beautifully presented. The guac was a little on the spicy side but overall, I really enjoyed the meal.

    Found this taco place in the area. Located on a strip with other stores and restaurants. We ordered frozen margaritas and it was so good. Food wise I got the carne Asada and my cousin ordered the al pastor tacos. A little on the pricier side but food was good.

    Delicious Mexican spot with gorgeous decorations and good service. We wanted to try this place after seeing great reviews and enjoyed it for date night. They had many different tequilas and a great selection of drinks. This place was really clean and pretty inside. The food was good but seemed tailored the local area and not like hole-in-the-wall/super authentic if that's what you are looking for. It was tasty nonetheless but I've had better. Great service and decent portions.

    Roberto runs a fabulous establishment! The food was authentic, the drinks fabulous, and the service exceptional. Make sure to support this business. Clean interior, bathrooms, and the ambiance is perfect for date night or with the family or friends.

    I really wanted to love this place. We came on a Sunday as it opened. The chips on the table were okay, the salsa tasted super watery. My husband got the sal pique steak which he asked for medium, but it came out medium rare. I got the shrimp diabla which I expected the sauce to be spicier. Also wish it came with more rice. Service wise there was only one waiter and she checked on us periodically. There is alot of seats so it is good for large groups.

    It was my first time trying Sal Pique. I like the interior of the place and the service was friendly. I ordered the Shrimp and Steak fajitas which came with rice and beans plus sour cream and guacamole. The fajitas were okay, nothing special. For the $30 price though, I didn't think it was worth it. I also had a Skinny Margarita. It was good, although it seemed like there was more ice than the drink in the glass. I would probably come back to try other dishes on the menu. I get that the location is probably why their prices are high, but it still seems unreasonable compared to other Mexican restaurants in other neighboring towns.

    The service, ambiance, and most importantly food & drinks, are top notch. Excellent Mexican food! )It's the old BlueFish location, they did a great job!) I'd go again! Love the retro lobby furniture too.

    Sal Pique was my birthday selection for this year. It was a great meal. I hadn't had fajitas in quite a while but they were delicious and hit the spot. I also ordered some guacamole, since I knew that is something my kiddo would eat without argument. Their guacamole was the best! It was an adequate portion, great ingredients and spiced well. I believe the chips were house made and they too were a step up from most of the chips you'll get at a restaurant. I'd say the only thing that was inadequate was that they only provide three tortillas with the fajitas which isn't enough; it should come with four. Still, I would very much want to visit again sometime. Though the prices are a bit higher than usual, but it's good for a special occasion or an occasional night out. The parking is a trick--it's in Uptown, so you'll either get lucky and find a street space or a space in the small lot that's shared with several other businesses. It looks like there's some sort of below-ground parking, but I'm not sure if that's for business or some of the residents near here.

    This spot used to have a different restaurant I used to go often.. they made the decor so fun and vibrant! Food was wonderful, the service was great, all the items I tried was so good I took steak tacos and tres leches cake to go for someone else, and I hear they are amazing as well. I will definitely revisit to try trio salsa, shrimp in different sauce, and churros.

    Roberto and Zinnia, the owners, have done an amazing job in bringing an authentic Mexican restaurant to Park Ridge. From the decor to the food and the service, you feel like you're part of the family and like you're in a little corner of Mexico. I'm a fan of their first restaurant, Ovo Frito, which you should also check out, and what carries through is Roberto and Zinnia's dedication to making sure one has a great dining experience. The food is top notch delicious. My faves and go tos are their signature dish, Sal pique or any of the fajitas or enchiladas. The flautas are a must appetizer. I don't drink much alcohol but they do have a great selection of drinks. The service is always great, knowledgeable and friendly staff who are constantly checking up on you. I recently learned that there are Mariachi or Trio bands playing on certain Fridays so this is definitely a must for special celebrations. Have also seen the staff bring a cake and candle for birthday celebrations, along with of course singing happy bday. Very conveniently located a few steps away from downtown Park Ridge and Park Ridge Metra with a parking lot in the back. Always a pleasure to dine here.

    I was actually pretty impressed by this place! This is more of a 4.5 star review, but I can bump it…read moreup because maybe it was just a "bad night". If you are looking for a good ol Mexican place, this is the place for you! They do take reservations and are pretty sizable. We went on Saturday night which was a bit crazy. It was very crowded and we were concerned about the service. While the service was a little bit on the slower side and we were there for almost 90 minutes, all the food came out hot and delicious. I got the Enchiladas in Mole Sauce which was excellent. It also came with a soup or salad which was a nice surprise. I went with the black bean soup which was great! If there was any downside, my House Margarita tasted a little weird. I probably could have complained, but I kept with it. Pretty good size, but I think there was a little too much tequila in it! Either way, this place isn't inexpensive, but you do get quite a bit of food and everybody at my table enjoyed their meal. Sometimes thats enough! This is a great icon in this part of Chicago/Rosemont.

It was surprisingly not very busy. We got there a little later, but 9pm on a Saturday night? Seemed odd that it wasn't busier. The server didn't greet us for quite a while. She didn't initially bring us chips and salsa. We placed our order then later comes back to the table and says, "you don't want chips?" We told her that we did. (Maybe the busboy dropped the ball on that.) Now, I've been going there for years, and usually get the steak dinner. Last night, I wanted to try something different so I ordered the taco dinner. There were two meat choices...chicken and ground beef. I opted for the ground beef. What I received was a mushy mess!!! Mushy ground beef with potatoes mixed in, topped with cheese, lettuce and tomato with a side of rice and refried beans. I waited for the waitress to come back to ask her if perhaps she got my order wrong. I really just wanted some traditional tacos. But since it took her so long and I was hungry... I started to eat the tacos. I really tried to eat them, but I couldn't. When she finally came back, she explained that they only come "American style," and the only tacos that come with onion and cilantro are the pork tacos. Well, I wish I would've known. She didn't offer or ask if I would like something else. The tacos were a mushy mess and absent of flavor, and the rice and beans tasted like they came from the bottom of the barrel that was sitting out all day. Honestly, I've gotten better Mexican food from the "roach coach" back in the day when I worked in a factory. The lighting was also weird. It kept dimming and getting brighter. Dim, bright, dim, bright. It sort of bugs me to do this review because Maria's was always one of those place we loved going to....not anymore. P. S. We went for dinner there last month, and it was less than stellar as well.

It's a pretty large space mostly set up for takeout. I also purchased some champurrado, which was made from rice and other ingredients. I was hoping for the traditional chocolate version, but they didn't have it. Prices were fair for the tamales, though the drinks felt a bit overpriced. The tamales had good flavor overall -- a bit on the salty side, and the green tamales could've used more spice. The meat portions were a little light, but still decent. They offer both chicken and pork, so make sure to choose your preference. One thing to note: there's an extra service charge when paying by credit card. I ordered four dozen tamales plus two drinks and paid $100.90 due to the added fee. If you plan to visit, I'd recommend bringing cash to avoid the extra charge.

    Wanted to love Westo because the ambiance and cocktails were beautiful, but unfortunately the food…read moreand service just did not match the concept. We ordered the octopus, patatas bravas, and the steak meal for two. The octopus was extremely overcooked and chewy, and the steak platter itself just felt underwhelming overall. Also... how does a Mexican steakhouse not provide tortillas with a steak platter? That honestly shocked me. The biggest confusion of the night was the patatas bravas situation. Our waitress forgot the dish entirely, then later brought over mashed potatoes and said they were "on the house." I was genuinely confused because I thought maybe this was their version of patatas bravas due to the seasoning on top. When I asked about it, she realized she accidentally brought mashed potatoes instead of the actual dish. She apologized and eventually brought the real patatas bravas, but even those tasted oddly sweet and missed the mark for us. To their credit, the staff did try to make up for it with complimentary shots, and the cocktails were honestly the best part of the experience. The space itself is gorgeous and has a very upscale vibe, but the food lacked cohesion and flavor for the price point. Sadly, not somewhere I'd personally return to.

We were not at all rushed and took the opportunity to try the interesting guacamole with ribeye chicharrons (kind of like beef jerky pieces) with a deliciously fresh watermelon cocktail while reading the menu and further deciding. The garnish of mango habanero caviar was disappointing in flavor and quantity. No heat or fruit flavor. Fresh blue chips were great but sparse ; fortunately, the table chips and salsa were equally good ( again, no heat) We proceeded to order the pulpo and 16 oz ribeye (which came with patatas bravas (so good !) and small house salad). Assured that chef was excellent at cooking to temperature and that was the case. We shared yet still didn't have to for dessert so plan accordingly if churros, cheesecake or très lèches cake are your things! I especially appreciated being asked if items could be cleared from the table rather than just being grabbed! Decor is black (which extends to the restrooms which were comfortable, clean, warm with average toilet paper and paper towels and coat /purse hooks in the stalls). But I did feel a kind of dungeon-y vibe. Also kind of 1970's which is not bad, just dated. While maybe not a destination spot, definitely worth a trip if you're in the area.

I was here with a small group, a local book club that I attended. There were six of us. The server said they couldn't do separate checks because it was too busy, though there were only about another five or six tables of folks here (if that). My food was just ok, as was the Paloma I ordered--thankful that it was during happy hour, at least, because I only took a couple sips of the Paloma before I decided I couldn't drink it even if I had paid for it. The service wasn't great throughout--we didn't get visited much and had to ask for more salsa and whatnot rather than being asked if we wanted more. But the worst part was when we were ready to wrap up. It took at least 40 minutes for us to get our check and get settled. I had been thinking I probably wouldn't make it to another meeting because I hadn't expected to be gone for a couple hours, but others mentioned they'd made plans after the book club and specifically mentioned that they usually weren't that long (it was my first time meeting with the club). We paid with cash and card, and made note of what was what, but somehow the guy got it totally messed up and we waited 15 minutes for them to cash us out after he took our cards. Had they just given us individual tickets from the start they'd have been done in a fraction of the time, so that was super frustrating. As I said, the food was just ok and with many other places around (at least a couple at which I've eaten and were pretty good) I don't need to come back unless for some reason the book club makes its way back here again. Parking is street only.
