Mariachi's Tacos — high-caliber mexican in Des Plaines. Order the Burrito. Classic neighborhood feel, nothing here chasing trends, and wallet-friendly. "The steak was tender, juicy & flavorful" — Andre Peeples

Been long time customers for years. Now this place is ruined for us.
Cute place, decor etc. The lady was very unfriendly & cold. The food was ok.
We always come here and get great food. Today we ordered to go and I’ve never had such a horrible food before.

“Mariachi’s Tacos in Des Plaines is as authentic as it gets.”
Mariachi’s Tacos in Des Plaines is as authentic as it gets! 🇲🇽 From the vibe, décor, and music—you feel like you’ve stepped straight into Mexico. I loved it. The specials were clear and easy to read, which made ordering simple and stress-free. The food was delicious, and the service honestly felt like home—warm, welcoming, and genuine. Highly recommend stopping by, especially during lunch. The specials are amazing and make it a great value. Definitely worth giving a shot! 🌮🎶

“I used to stop at this place a lot to grab tacos before my shift.”
I used to stop at this place a lot to grab tacos before my shift. Once the pandemic happened the tacos had changed, it's like the meat was different so I stopped coming. I missed this place so I decided after 2 yrs to give them another try. THEY RE-EARNED MY TRUST...❤️

“Decent, tidy place.”
Decent, tidy place. Ambiente fits perfectly to a traditional southern mexican restaurant. (Simple and used interieur, but kept perfectly in shape and clean l. selfpainted walls and windows 😉). The food is great. Good quality and the right size. I took the Asda Taco Salat. Perfect size for a (German) lunch.

“Absolutely our favorite local Mexican restaurant and they have reasonable pricing.”
Absolutely our favorite local Mexican restaurant and they have reasonable pricing! They also have soups, Pazole (Red Broth) and Menudo on the menu on Fridays and Saturdays. My go to dish here is the Pechunga Asada, which is grilled Chicken breast pounded thin, but they are amazingly juicy! Comes with refried beans, rice and grilled onions.

Had a stay over in Chicago and asked the hotel reception for a good place to eat dinner and they recommended this place. I arrived 5 min before closing but were nice to allow me to eat. Ordered 3 tacos, and they were wonderful. Some of the best I have ever had.
