Taco Mex Restaurant - MUY BUENO! The best menudo around! - Mexican Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

No matter how clear you speak there's a very good chance they will mess up. Corn/flour or beef/steak always gets mixed up. Check before you leave and please save yourself some time and money. read more

I ordered the steak and pork tacos combo. It came with rice and beans and they gave me two sauces with it. I ordered pick up and it was ready by the time I arrived (office right down the street - Super fast. $10.99 total. Overall the food was just ok. Not the best I've ever had but not bad either. A little on the salty side for my preference but the meat I chose tends to be on the saltier side. I do wish I had tried the corn however. So maybe I will return. read more

My order was wrong and the chicken was bland but it was all fresh, hot and tasted clean. Service: The cashier/Waitress gets 5 stars for being customer friendly. Quacomole: seasoned to near perfection, chunky, fresh and wholesome. Rice: just rice. Chicken flautas: So deliciously crunchy. The chicken was bland. I normally receive a flautas dinner fully plated, even when ordered as a to-go; so perhaps they'd always be crunchy if served this way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This place serves all of the sauces separate. Beans: I requested double rice. :-( Update: I've returned twice since drafting the above. This family owned restaurant deserves awards. The food has been served consistently hot & fresh. I and my family have had chicken flautas and mini tacos (steak & chicken). They've even customized our street tacos for us. The service has been consistently remarkable. The dining room has been consistently clean. I'll likely patronize every Tuesday for $1.50 mini tacos and Wednesdays for their chicken flautas special. This is only the 2nd business I've ever given 5 stars to. read more

Best street tacos I've had in years, no matter the meat choice I select they are always delicious!

This was not a good experience but mainly due to the price. I ordered a cheese quesadilla, nothing more, and it was $11! Did not even come with sauce. The food was okay but I absolutely could have gotten a cheese quesadilla at Taco Bell for $5 and been just as happy. read more

These are the best Tacos I've ever had!!! I wish I could rate this 6 stars. My whole baseball team came here and was treated to great service, great music, great prices, and best of all, great food! The woman working there gave us free chips and salsa. I definitely recommend coming here. read more

the amount of steak they add to the food is great. other places skimp on it, these guys don't. food tastes great too. very warm and welcoming service so that's a plus! Definitely try the tacos, burritos, and tortas! read more

Taco Mex Restaurant - two tacos on a plate - Mexican Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Great Tacos, and get breakfast tacos, straight legit. Would most definitely be going back

Fresh food with a great taste, and friendly staff. It's my new favorite place for tacos and tamales.

I would never order from this restaurant again. I ordered an enchilada dinner. I put in the special comments "NO BEANS" , well not only did I NOT get the beans but no rice either. And I was charged for a dinner. read more

Phoned in 3 steak tacos to go. They were piping hot and very fresh. The store is a small family run place with many regulars. The cashier is friendly. Overall a good place to grab a bite for lunch. read more

An average Mexican restaurant overall. Wait time for food was a little long. Menu did have some winners for us. Chicken enchiladas with rice and beans were very good. Their traditional tamales were a little dry and we were not happy with the pork or the way it was seasoned, u might love them we did not. They have decent tacos we tried the steak and carnitas with option of onion and cilantro toppings. read more

Under new management or owners, getting very expensive for just okay Mexican food. They also charge you extra to use your debit card or credit card and they took away their daily specials. Won't be going back read more

The waitress was very friendly and professional. Superb service. I ordered a steak taco dinner. The steak tacos and the rice were very delicious. However, the pinto beans tasted old and stale. The red and green salsa was very delicious and flavorful. I would recommend the steak tacos with green salsa and chips. read more

I was excited about this place because it's so close! My experience here was terrible. I don't eat meat so I asked if they made veggie burritos & the woman answered me like it was a problem. I only say her customer service skills were NOT it because while I was being treated rudely while another family came in & was treated completely different. Now to my food... I was so excited to taste my food because I saw them make & it smelled great. My food was gross, they packed so many onions in that thing. I picked out most of my burrito because not being dramatic but that was not edible! The food is cheap but don't waste the room in your stomach. Like I said this was a huge disappointment & that's me trying to nice. This happened a few months ago but I refuse to give it another try. I wish I had a picture but I'll save your stomachs. read more

Whenever I come to the Chicagoland area, this is my first stop!!! Their food is so good and I have yet to find a place as good as theirs where I am. I even tried to convince them to open a location in Vegas, but I think I lost that fight. Their tacos, tostadas, rice, beans, and tamales are YUMMY!!!!!! read more

came here with my baseball team today because McDonalds inside was under construction and I am so glad that it was this place had great tacos and a very friendly staff 10/10 would recommend if you are in the area. read more

Ordered some take out from Taco Mex this weekend. Overall, the food was not bad. We had an order of Carne Asada, quesadillas and a burrito. The girl behind the service counter was friendly, the food came up quickly. While we were waiting I had to use the restroom and I must say, the smell of urine in the hallway all the way back to the bathroom is just too much. Even my 4 year old son made a comment about how stinky the place was. That's just not something you want to smell in a place where you are waiting for food. Take care of that and we'll be back. read more

Hasn't been here that long (1-2 years) so I got curious to see how it stood up to other Mexican places. Inside was very clean (more fast food atmosphere than restaurant) and service was very good and there was no communication problems as the lady spoke English without a hard to understand accent, which is what I sometimes come across at other places. Prices were good as my 3 tacos @ $1.99 each and pork burrito @ $5.75 came to about $12. You get your money's worth as the burrito was stuffed to the gills and felt like it weighed 2 pounds. Seemed like it was more pork and tomatoes inside than anything else. Tacos weren't anything special, tortilla tasted bland and the chicken hardly had any flavor, while the steak and pork ones were better. Overall, nothing too special, there's better alternatives in town. read more

Yum! Quick, yummy mexican food. Nothing fancy. You can order takeout or sit down and dine. If you do decide to eat in, they bring you complimentary chips and fresh salsa. Its pretty comfortable, quite restaurant. It doesnt have that fast food, florescent light feeling. Good stuff... So far I have had the tostadas the Mexican combo #1. Hit the spot. No complaints. read more

I eat here all the time. The staff is very nice, the food is great and I've only had one problem with my order which was recently. Ordered a steak burrito dinner and it barely had any steak in it(maybe enough for 1 taco). I called, explained the situation and they took responsibility and fixed the problem. This is a great place with great food and great people. I recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in Joliet all the time. read more

Decent prices for Mexican restaurants in the area. Dinner dishes run $6.50 a $11.99. Service is good and the employees there are nice. We received some chips and salsa while waiting for our to-go order. (Something you don't see often with to-go!) I'm not sure if they do this for all customers though. Its my first visit. (maybe because we ordered a bit and it was going to take awhile. Regardless it was a nice gesture.) Overall the food is pretty good and we'll come back here again in the future read more

Food was alright a few years ago. Every once in a while I'll stop in. My experience today wasn't pleasant. Food is very mediocre. The rice and beans tasted at least a few days old. The quality of meat and food degrades every year it seems. I'm not coming back that's for sure. I ordered the Taco, enchilada, Flauta dinner. Everything lacked flavor, quality, and freshness. I wouldn't recommend. Mediocre. read more

I ordered the chorizo gordita which had a plethora of flavor...and topped it off with a marvelous cup of cinnamon coffee!! read more

Taco Mex Restaurant - Free nachos and salsa...Yummy and approved - Mexican Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

I guess I visit this place from time to time because it is close to the house. Truth is it is not all that great. They tend to overcook their taco and burrito fillings and even charge extra for some of the traditional condiments to go with your meal. The service is usually sub-par unless of course you get there when this one gal is working. She seems to have her act together. But the rest of the outfit is disorganized and I'm not sure what this restaurant wants to be if and when it ever grows up. read more

Just had a "steak" burrito. FULL of fat and grizzle, my pet peeve! Why would anyplace serve that? Should have just gone to McDonald's. Very disappointed, won't be going back. read more

Taco Mex Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

The schedule on the door says its close at 10pm I arrived at 9 pm with my family and friends, we walk in and were not welcome at all, instead the cashier started arguing with the cooker, finally turn her face to us, saying we are close! I said about the schedule, she said, the schedule is wrong I need to chamge it, the cooker replied I can attend u but is the first and last time I'll do it, and the cashier said with a very angry face but is close already! Oh my God, I just dont understand why mexicans cannot learn how to attend the costumers, they just dont get it! COSTUMERS GO FIRST! If you treat your costumers like this you will never have bussines! read more

This is the best authentic Mexican restaurant near Plainfield/Joliet area. Their horchata is the absolute best and all is at a great price!!!! read more

I've been going to this little restaurant for about 5+ years and have always loved it. It's definitely my family's favorite mexican food!! We always take our family and friends here when they visit. Even now that we moved 30 minutes away from joliet we try to drive out there as much as possible just to eat here. Nothing fancy but the food is DELICIOUS!! I've tried so many mexican joint and none have come close to this. I think I have probably had just about everything off their menu. Except for the beef tounge. I just can't! Had it once when I was little and I've never had it again. Maybe if I didn't know what it was. My husband loves the beef tongue though. He said it has a good flavor and reminds him of when his mom used to make it. So our kids wanted to try it, but we didn't tell them what it really was of course lol. They loved it!!! Although their favorite is the chicken quesadilla with sour cream and guac on the side. And they go CRAZY for their horchata. But it IS really good here actually and I've NEVER liked horchata. Their chips and salsa are the best!!!! I even think they make their own chips and the salsa taste homemade not from a jar or can. Their gorditas and sopes are the best I've had!! The huaraches are really good too but to big for me. They do take a bit longer, but it is worth the wait. They are definitely fresh! I usually get them with steak or marinated pork with just beans cheese onion and cilantro. I've had the gorditas with papas guisadas (sauteed potatoes) with cheese and sour cream and I add red salsa. Delicious!! Or the chicken gorditas with all the options...make sure to ask for the cheese sour cream and guac. Gorditas are the best here! I LOOOOVE their pastor tacos! I've had pastor everywhere and this is definitely the best!!! Their steak tacos are awesome too. The steak has soo much flavor and it is not so fatty or chewy like othe places. Definitely get them authentic just onion and cilantro. Can't forget the limes! The chicken tacos are good with all the work. And you could tell the chicken is all white meat. The enchiladas taste authentic too especially since they make them in corn tortillas. It always upsets me when I ask for enchiladas anywhere else and they make them with flour tortillas. I mean if that's what you like then I'm pretty sure they could make them on flour too. I've also tried their steak tostadas and they are pretty awesome too. I never thought of trying one but another customer ordered one and they looked delicious so I had to. Another thing to try off their menu is their Caldo de Res!! Definitely taste homemade!!!! Ooh and their POZOLE!!! One thing I have NOT tried are the burritos. I know!!! Crazy huh? I'm just not a big fan of flour tortilla. I've seen a lot of people order them and they do look pretty tasty. One day I will try them thought. Shoot I'm making myself hungry now!!! The prices are good in my opinion. Their tacos are like $2.25 I think but these things are big I tell ya. Everywhere I have gone tacos are anywhere from $1.75 to $2.50 and you always get small tacos. Gets me mad! Lol You definitely need to try it!!!!! Ooh and WE have never gotten sick from it. It all depend what you're used to eating I guess. I know chinese never sits well in our stomach lol. Anyway you should definitely give it a try! read more
