Mi Mexico

Driven this place so many times, but never tried it out. My friend, who is Mexican, wanted to try this place so we decided to go. I really like the authenticity of the food here. But don't take it from this Chinese guy, but my Mexican friend said it was really good. The table got warm chips and salsa, and we ordered the guacamole as well. I like my guac chunky, and the guacamole here was perfect. The caldo de pollo was really flavorful. The chicken stock was fantastic and the amount of chicken, and veggies were good. I also ordered the chicken carnitas, which I thought would be more carnitas-like, but I guess this is how it's made. Overall, still very good, and the lunch special was plentiful.Service was great, the ambiance was like I was in Mexico (never been there before), with authentic Mexico ranchero music blaring in the dining area. Will come back and try the other items on the menu.

Finally made it here after passing by for so many years. The food and service were decent enough. Our waitress was difficult to understand at times as she was rushing through her explanation of the menu options. This caused more confusion than anything among us. Overall, it was just a lackluster first time visit that did nothing to warrant a repeat visit. We definitely preferred the food and service at Maria's restaurant in Rosemont & Mia's Cantina in Mount Prospect over Mi Mexico. I would recommend checking out either one of those first..

Second time we have been here. Food is excellent and friendly service. I had Carne Asada which was perfect my husband had a burger which he said was excellent

After living in So Cal for 33 years it is hard to find good Mexican food. Mi Mexico is outstanding. The food is great and the service was excellent. The decor is colorful and amazing. I've been back several times and will continue. P.S. Drinks are well poured and appreciated.

I will start off this review by saying I have been going here for years, and I still do enjoy it here. The servers are great and the food is decent enough. There is a sense of sticker shock however. Prices have increased quite a bit over the past few years. I understand their suppliers are charging more food and other supplies and this kind of thing is happening everywhere. If they don't lower prices over time when things ease up, we have a problem. I was slightly annoyed with my steak fajita dinner. It tasted great like always, but now they're charging extra for more tortillas when they only give you 4 to begin with. Waitstaff did inform me of this right away and did not try to hide the charge, so props for being honest (bare minimum, I guess). But wow. Yes, this is a hill I am willing to die on. Such a petty thing. It's little things like this that give me a sour taste for what would have been a normal, enjoyable dining experience.

So many Mexican restaurants come and go in the area, and one that has stayed through it all is Mi Mexico. My wife and I visit this place on a fairly regular basis. We order a myriad of dishes from the fajitas to spinach quesadillas to the enchiladas to the combination platters. You just can't go wrong with anything you order at Mi Mexico. Since the pandemic, the service has been a trifle slower, but they are down servers, so that's to be expected. However, they work hard and try to get to all tables in a timely fashion.

Best Carne Asada and Palomas! You want real authentic Mexican food ... give Mi Mexico a try! We have been coming to this family owned restaurant for a couple of years and the Carne Asada is always cooked to perfection. So juicy and tender. In the mood for a cocktail, order a Paloma (a classic Mexican drink made with tequila, lime and grapefruit soda). If I could give this place more stars I would.

Food: 6 (Taste/3, Portion/10, Appearance/5)Service: 8 (Friendliness/10, Timeliness/6)Ambiance: 8 (clean and spacious)Can't give this spot more than an average grade; nothing special.Went for lunch, so not sure if Service grades would change for dinner.Overall: 7

The restaurant is pleasant looking with good parking. The server brought out two tiny bowls of salsa, one mild and one hot, for four people. There was a little spoon in each. There were no plates, so we were expected to all dip our chips into one tiny bowl? I asked the bus person for plates and he brought out some coffee saucers.The food was just OK. No one raved about it or complained. We had Carne Asade, fajitas, seafood, appetizers and drinks. A big concern was the cost of the food. We did not feel it was worth more than our favorite local Mexican restaurants.

Really enjoyed our meals here. Food is served hot and portions are huge. We all loved their refried beans. Chimichanga was very good as was Chile Relleno. Service was great and everything was clean and bright. Went a second time for carry out and they package everything well.
