Mix Mex Cue — high-caliber mexican in Lincoln Square. Order the horchata. Nothing here has been watered down. "Perfectly seasoned, rich, and full of flavor with just the right amount of heat" — Andrew F. [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Lincoln Square classic in summer.

Wasn’t expecting too much from here but I was pleasantly surprised! I had the Birria Taco dinner and my partner had the Chorizo Burrito dinner and both were spectacular! The Birria tacos especially were cooked to perfection, crispy, flavorful and mouthwatering! The cashier was also very friendly. She checked in on us a couple of times and was very helpful. Prices were reasonable, too - wish the AC was colder though. Definitely recommend a visit!

This is my second visit to Mix Mex Cue and it is now becoming where I will frequent on a more daily and/or weekly basis ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR HOMEMADE TORTILLAS ON SUNDAYS!!!... THE PASTOR TACOS ON HOMEMADE TORTILLAS WAS WHAT MY LIFE HAS BEEN MISSING!!!... I haven't had homemade tortillas since I was a kid and my Mom made it for Sunday breakfast... THE ENTIRE STAFF WAS BEYOND AMAZING AND SUPER ACCOMMODATING.... THANK YOU TO FAVIOLA, EMILY, AND CARLOS... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!..... A picture of my family and I enjoying... THEY SAY THANK YOU!!!

Great flavor, solid prices and friendly service. The pastor tacos I dream about. We usually take advantage of the taco Tuesday special and it hits every time. Definitely check this place out!

Wanted to try this place for the first time. Hours said they close at 9. Rushed over from work, got here at 8:45 and they were closed. Not in the process of closing, not cleaning, but lights off, staff gone, doors locked.
