One of my favorite places to eat in IL. Only place I can get a taco, a hot dog, AND a root beer float. I recommend it to anyone who visits. Great prices, great food, very friendly staff.Parking: Small lot in front and larger side lot, plus usually plenty of street parking

The spoon is greasy, but the food is delicious. Portion sizes are generous and the food comes out pretty quickly. I was in the area for a week for work, and insisted we come back here every day for lunch. I had the tacos one day and wings another, both of which were very satisfying. I wouldn't recommend this place for a fancy date or fine dining, but if you are looking for a good lunch and good portions, give it a try.

Always a good spot for some grub. Fries are greasy but I love it haha. Chorizo tacos are good too!

Low-key restaurant for a quick bite. The variety of dishes on the menu is unbeatable; gyros, burgers, Mexican food, and more are all available for purchase. Food is always served quickly and employees greet you with a smile. Awesome place to go if you’re with a group of friends that has varying food preferences!

Really surprisingly excellent food especially for a place that is making both hot dogs and Mexican food. They were fast, the kids loved the hot dogs, the parents loved the Mexican food, the steak was full of flavor, the french fries were really super babe and the service was extremely fast. We loved the salsa and the sides that came with all the dishes. Tables are a bit small, so pay attention to how much food you order!

I always get the taco plate. My family prefers the pork tacos with corn tortillas, but I love the steak with flour tortillas. They give you 3 pieces of lime (other places never give you enough). The rice is flavorful and they give you a lot of sauces and GUAC?? Pair this taco plate with a cold glass bottle of coke. Perfection.

Always delicious for carry out or very casual dine in. Love the corn and then veggie tacos. It is disappointing that the Cali wrap and tortilla soup are no longer on the menu.

The Mean Winner has a large dining room with 12 tables which makes it comfortable to sit in. The menu is long and has a variety of items, from tortilla soup to hamburgers. I ordered “ Asada tacos,” and they were average. The onion was not fresh and was cut too big; the cilantro was ok. The meat had an off flavor and did not taste fresh. The salsa was fine, but it was cold and in individual containers.I prefer the tacos next door called “La Plancha Loca,” which closed today.

Great attention to COVID safety and huge, huge portions. Really delicious too. I had the burrito supreme and was incredibly happy with it. I've heard they are very much like good Mexican home cooking, and I am not disappointed. The chicken wings were also pretty tasty and you can't beat 50¢ each on Mondays.

This is a fun place, with great food, great service (very helpful), indoor and outdoor seating. They have Mexican offerings and the American standards...hot dogs (all kinds of ways) and hamburgers (all kinds of ways). Everything is cooked fresh and served hot (the fries are cut in house!) The food portions are really big, too. I love this place!

Staff was friendly, food was served hot..I still can't believe I paid this much for a hot dog, but it was worth it

My favorite authentic mexican restaurant! The food here is so good and very close to home. It's such comfort food and hits the spot when you need it. I love going every wednesday for their taco special and my favorite tacos are el pastor and shrimp. I've also tried the fries, hotdogs, torta. All things I've tasted are super good! The juices are good too. I can't recommend this place enough. The prices are extremely fair and portion sizes are big. Always good, fast service. I urge everyone to go here!!
