“Their food is very tasty. Restaurant is kids friendly. They offer halal menu which is very important for muslims. New owners changed their name to Senor HalalPeno, how sweet! We are very lucky to have such place in Lombard! Thank you Senor!”
“Amazing birria tacos! One of the best halal Mexican restaurants in Illinois.”
“Great tacos and the lady working there who took our order was the sweetest. Definitely a great halal spot for chicago. Will come back for more !”
“Great food! I highly suggest their elote!! It’s drowning in butter and mayo and it’s soooo good!!”
“Zabiha Halal HFSAA Certified I appreciate their authentic and HALAL Mexican food so much. I’m so glad I discovered this place. I keep coming back for their delicious enchiladas and elote. The portion size is very filling and I always have leftovers to take back home. Their staff is very friendly and attentive as well, upkeeping a neat and tidy atmosphere.”
“UPDATE 1/31/26- UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP- They’ll charge you 20% fee on your meal if you have FIVE adults. And on top of that, they’ll expect you to tip. NEW OWNER NEEDS TO BRING BACK THE OLD MENU AND SERVICE. Excellent halal authentic Mexican! Open area cooking so you can see your food being prepped. Highly recommend the tacos and enchiladas! And flan!”
“Tried this restaurant a few days ago, the food was just ordinary and service wasn't good either, nothing great about this place.”
“Wow, this chimichanga was massively disappointing. I ordered an al pastor chimichanga, and it was just gross. It was dripping in oil and grease, the bottom of the tortilla was soggy, and the meat tasted terrible. I couldn't even eat a quarter of it. Furthermore, they put lettuce in it, which you never add to something being fried, no rice, no beans. Just meat,cheese and lettuce. And the price, over 15 dollars. Don't waste your time and money, go somewhere else.”
“We heard about this place in Boston. Came to Lombard and finally tried this place and the experience was amazing. Food was absosolutely delicious.Angie took really good care of us. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for delicious (halal) food to give this place a try.”
