“I found a great Mexican restaurant! The best pozole in town!!! And their chilie sauce is THE BOMB! 💣 Pozole on Fridays and Saturdays!”
“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! 🌮🎶”
“Ibamos de paso y encontré este lugar, la comida esta muy rica, la atencion del personal estuvo excelente. Recomiendo este lugar.”
“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...❤️”
“Tasty salsa with the chips. Carne asada plate was good but on the pricey side for 21$ tx.in.”
“Nice cozy small restaurant. The chips and salsa were ok...really liked the tostada t he tong taco was nice and juice but the cacio taco was dry. Not a lot of flavor or the flavors i am accostumed in Mexican food. All an all I am visiting....”
“Great waitstaff and super friendly! I ordered a cheese enchilada, it was cooked perfectly! Also ordered a picadillo taco, which I didn’t like, however the asada Mexicana, was great, and also the asada. Beans and rice were warm, and not fresh. Would visit again.”
“We always come here and get great food. Today we ordered to go and I’ve never had such a horrible food before. Quesadillas pork and shrimp were burnt, there was almost no cheese inside, taste was worse than in McDonald’s. Tacos were wee just ok.”
