Pico De Gallo has the expected favorites like burritos and tacos. Okay prices on most of the items. They also do catering for big parties. I picked up something here to go at lunch. Many customers were getting carryout and there were few dining in which wasn't surprising because it was pretty dull inside and there's not much lighting so it's hard to see. The menu has the basic stuff. Burritos are the main thing it seems because the menu has a big section on it. There's also tacos of course and tamales. I had a Veggie Burrito. It's $9.95 for a pretty big one. This has beans, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Make it vegan by leaving off cheese. The burrito is plenty for one person. Good to get a pretty fast bite and carryout. It seems pretty dead in the dining room. Taking it home with you seems to be the best way to do things.

My wife is a kidney transplant and can't share chips, etc. So I asked Rene,e co-owner with her husband Rick, if my wife could get a little basket of chips for herself, and I explained why. She said of course. I sat back down, and not 2 minutes pass and Rick came to our table and said he is going to change the oil in one of the deep fryers and make a fresh batch for my wife, so there is no type of cross-contamination. That is above and beyond. If you want good Mexican food and great customer service from waitresses to the bartenders, I highly recommend A BITE OF MEXICO. Mike

It has about what is expected which is margaritas along with burritos and tacos. Good enough. The prices are kind of high for being average as well as portions. Big restaurant with lots of room for groups. It's got a bar area along with the rest of it. There was more than enough space as there was hardly anyone in it though. Even with it being in the evening. We were the only ones at first then a few more came later. A few pretty good things here. It's about $11 for a margarita. Got the Prickly Pear and it was pretty good. They at least use strong tequila. It's about $16 for a burrito. We each got the Veggie Burrito, which is one of the few options without any meat. Comes with cheese and crema which I left off, but still had enough in it. There were beans, lettuce, and tomatoes and it came with beans and rice. For sure it's pretty okay for Americanized Mexican food. It's not authentic but it's still way better than Taco Bell junk. There's many other restaurants around here with the same kind of food at better prices meaning we aren't in a hurry to get back here soon.

The interior is modern, festive, and inviting, with a lively bar and an open, clean layout. Right off the bat, we were treated to complimentary chips and salsa, and let me tell you--this might have been the highlight of the night. The salsa was bursting with flavor (hands down the best I've had at any Mexican restaurant), and the chips were clearly fresh, not just poured from a bag. For drinks, we tried the Santo Horchata and the Coconut Margarita. Both were strong, balanced, and refreshing--no watered-down cocktails here. We ordered a spread of dishes to really test the menu: Tortilla Soup, a Chicken Burrito Bowl, and five different tacos--Al Pastor, Crispy Pork Belly, Shrimp & Chorizo, Tajin & Agave Chicken, and Carne Asada. * The Tortilla Soup was immaculate--rich, flavorful, and carrying just the right kick of spice. * The Chicken Burrito Bowl was generous and far superior in quality compared to chain restaurants trying to do the same thing. * And the tacos? Worth the hype. Here's how I'd rank them: 1. Crispy Pork Belly - an unexpected standout, tender and packed with flavor, elevated even more by the sauce. 2. Tajin & Agave Chicken - no wonder this one won Best Taco. 3. Shrimp & Chorizo - unique and hearty. 4. Carne Asada - solid and flavorful. 5. Al Pastor - tasty, but outshined by the others. All in all, Don Joses is easily the best Mexican restaurant we've had in New Lenox. From the atmosphere and service to the unforgettable chips & salsa, strong drinks, and outstanding food, this spot is a 10/10 must-try.

I enjoyed the spicy watermelon margarita while my dining companion went with a traditional one. We tried four tacos. I'll list them in order of preference: Red Skull - No notes. This is a well thought out combo. Get this for sure. Surf Ninja - A little light on the shrimp, but delicious. Whippersnapper - Nice flavor combo, but ask for extra passion fruit slaw or pineapple to step up the pow a bit! Island Boy - Too spicy, but kinda in a nice way. It was yummy but also a little too much on the tongue. Chips were hot and fresh. Complimentary salsa was chunky and maybe not worth the space in my tummy. Service was top notch. Parking was easy. We are going back to keep working through the menu.

#23/2024 El Cortez…read moreOnce a great spot yrs ago at its original location bringing many to Blue Island IL and it's only place However times change, neighborhoods change and they did not and closed. Was that it? No. They just moved further south about a 1/2 hr to Country Club Hills and restablished themselves They also had a older location in a very old building on Wolf Road in Orland Park Fast forward to 2024. Wolf Rd location been gone many yrs now relocated about 15 minutes south into Mokena. Reestablished themselves again CC Hills still remains. Now not located in a single building there in a strip mall at Mokena They have a little outdoor eating area but you're pretty much right there is traffic was just behind in front along the sidewalk of customers going to other buildings And it's been through its changes pretty much before and after covid. Some good some bad reviews reflect. Staffing can still be a little bit of an issue may have to wait a little bit depending on time of day and crowds. One thing that changed though for me is although it's probably been many many years until a couple of weeks ago till I returned for the first time and I returned again. The margaritas are still excellent. The food is still prepared fresh and very good as far as I'm concerned I originally came in with the folks about 2 weeks ago and had a strawberry daiquiri which was okay and a delicious carne asada. A little thinner skirt steak but the quality was good. However what dinners I give you french fries which was very unique they were very tasty. And tortillas also. Andrew usual garnish of lettuce tomato rice and beans. You have to ask for sour cream it's a little extra. Returning almost 2 weeks later passing through I decided it was Taco Tuesday let's hit it up again. I started with a large margarita 26 oz it was very good quality was good wasn't too strong but just right I also went with the three taco dinner and did two and one two corn one flour. They said that would be fine I did request no onions in the meat though they will do that by request. So the food came out and it was very good the beef was nice and fresh had little potato on it which was kind of made it unique but good. Lettuce and tomato I asked for some extra sour cream and also an extra order of refried beans cuz they're really good. Definitely will come back really enjoyed it again it's nice to know that their quality is back up to par. It was probably close to over 10 years ago when I was at the Old Wolf Road location and it was kind of hit and miss. But keep up the good work. Reviews here should be a little bit on Yelp as far as I'm concerned it was pretty crowded after dinner there when I left most people seem to be very much enjoying their food.
