El Crucero Mexican Restaurant

Just had the perfect meal after spending all day at the zoo. Service was excellent and the food left nothing to wish for. They serve you the usual chips and salsa when you come in but with a special touch, they give you a side of ceviche that’s very well prepared, not many places have the skills to make such high quality ceviche. Also, the sauces, chef’s kiss! They give you three different kinds and all are delicious! Oh, and don’t let me forget about the natural drinks, highly recommend Maracuya is so delicious and refreshing. Staff was attentive and kind. Don’t get discouraged because of how it looks when you first get there, trust me you will not regret eating here!

All food items AMAZING! Todos la comidas-encantamos!! The horchata was good but couldve had more cinnamon in it. Waitress forgot about our pepsi a couple times but everything made up for it. Area was quiet not busy at all, great music, kindness everywhere, the churros fue muy bien omg con helado fresa?! Not what i expected in good ways! The chicken was so good seasoned great and the asada was very thin and soft with amazing flavor. Fajitas hot for so long and so were the tortillas!!!!! French fries and rice were good! They had a lot of different hot sauces on table and the three different complimentary salsas(verde, guacamole fuego, and some kind of orange one) were awesome to try and even receive! The normal salsa was amazing didnt build up spice too quickly! EVERYTHING WAS FRESH❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️best hole in the wall mexican place to stumble upon. Will be back!! Ps-10/10 wanted to say everything in spanish to show more appreciation there at the restaurant but didnt want to torture the workers with my broken words and white girl sounds i could for sure read everything on the menu and understand a lot but i know how i sound aloud.

Great service! Food is generous! Great taste! We order the shrimp with salad and rice! Definitely a must go place! We will be back shortly!

Best Birria Tacos I've ever had period. Ive eaten Birria from Mexico to Florida to Chicago and Joliet to frow and everywhere in between. Every dish we ordered was excellent. I am a French based Global Style Chef visiting from Florida. My brother in law brought us here and we had to visit twice over my time here it was that delicious.

You're reading this review because you want to know if the food here is any good when you should already be in your car heading there now. The Quesabirria tacos were out of this world and they make the best Horchata I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. It was so sweet and creamy I had to get one for the road. You will not regret spending your money at this restaurant. ‍

Very good service and food. Place needs to be flipped, but it's really good. Shout out to the 3 Leches cake.

Very authentic Mexican food absolutely delightful service. We were a party of eight sold the service time took a little bit of effort from the small staff. So be patient if you're a large party. Margaritas were on point I ordered the a steak taco and a chicken taco and queso dip. All very good but I love the chicken taco the most
