Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

The have a great variety of photos for every meal and they meet to expectation. I had the enchilada meal and it was great! My father had the crane asada dinner and the meat was really big and juicy. I give it two thumbs up for the price and quality

The food here is so good. I like going for $1 Taco Mondays (really good steak tacos). I haven't tried anything else on the menu - I've only ever gone on Mondays. You can eat in or get carry out. If you eat in, they give you chips and salsa at your table. They are located right by Dunkin Donuts and Subway on Irving Park Road. If you're in the area, check them out! :)

WellI never got to go to taqueria Santiago but I got to go to this place. The place looked nice and another small type Mexican eatery. The food was quick and relatively good although the beans tasted pretty generic. They have an awesome big menu with a variety of dinners and appetizers that look interesting. The burritos look very delicious and wish I had gone with that.

We occasionally stop by Aldi's which is in the same strip mall as El Salitre. We stopped in today and ordered some food to carry out. The restaurant is casual and clean. The prices were fair and the portions good. There were several people dining in. The food is authentic. The red and green salsa's are delicious. We ordered some tacos, tamales, enchilada's, and rice and beans. Everything was great and the service fast and friendly. If you're in the area and want some good, authentic Mexican food, this is the place.

Ordered: Carne Asada burrito Price: $6.36 w/ tip Ambiance: Bright orange walls with colorful tableclothes gives this place a somewhat fun feel. The place was overall very clean despite the picture someone posted of a bug. Empty when I went so service was prompt and got my food within 5 minutes of sitting. Food: Chips and salsa here are pleasant: not burnt, not too thick/thin, the salsa tasted like mild pace picante you buy at the store but a little fresher. The burrito looked really appetizing, it was huge and lightly crisped on a grill which I enjoy. Inside was beans, lettuce, tomato, mozzarella, and moist tender pieces of grilled chuck steak. The disappointing thing about the whole dish, however, was the overall lack of flavor. The beans were bland and washed out the meat, a common problem when you mix the two. The meat, while very texturally pleasing, really needed some salt or seasoning. I reached for the trio of sauces they offer but that didn't help very much. The red sauce was probably the best with a healthy helping of heat but minimal red chile flavor and minimal body, they should make the sauce with a little stock or more onions to round the sauce out. The green sauces were even worse lacking flavor AND heat. Overall this place wasn't per se bad, it just really had nothing to offer me. The prices were pretty good given the amount of food they give you, the service was nice and the place clean but what is the point when the food is bland? I don't plan on coming back here again.

My family and I order from here all the time. They give you a lot for your money and what they give you is very good. I usually have the steak dinner and there's always a big juicy steak in there with rice, beans, a small salad, guacamole, sour cream, tortillas and salsas included. The prices are like I said...very inexpensive. Fast service, friendly waitresses, and a hell of an agua de horchata. Stop by and try it for yourself.

Quick little Mexican joint. I really like there salsa and chips. They were offering dollar tacos. Possibly the best carne asada tacos I have had in a really long time. It is lean, juicy and cooked just right. I have also had their chicken tacos and they are quite good as well. The rice and beans are also pretty authentic. This review is based primarily on the tacos. They are a quick, reasonably priced place to get some decent Mexican food.

Stopped on in for a quick lunch recently. I had the steak fajita (lunch portion) which was pretty good - and cheaply priced. Comes with lettuce, rice, guacamole, sour cream and also beans and tortillas (but I opted out for both of those). Restaurant is a standard no-frills - located in an older strip. Server was nice. $5 min credit card purchase.

I've been going there on regular basis for over 3 years now. I always get a take out but you can eat inside. The place is not fancy but the food in my opinion is really good. I am vegetarian and they make the best vegetarian burrito I have ever had. The waitresses are very nice and helpful. Their salsas are unique and delicious - especially the red one. The only downside of the place is: if you spend more than 5 minutes in there you will come out smelling like "soup" LOL Lots of people who work at the airport (including cops) come down there to eat ,so that should also be a hint that the food is good.

This place is a great fast mexican joint. I started coming here when I worked in the area, and even though its out of my way, I come here 1 a week. The food is great, the waitresses are delightful....i've recommended this place to some friends and they too are hooked!! Great place & food!! A+++++++

This is a quick cheap Mexican Restaurant that's great for a work lunch time spot. People either are getting food to go here, so it's not too crowded. The salsa and chips are light here, and it makes it easy to eat a lot of them. The lunch specials are typically around the $5 range. I can't say that it's super tasty or that it's terrible, but just average. I had the steak fajitas and it came with rice, beans, guacamole. It was the perfect portion for lunch, and I wasn't stuffed. The service was ok, and the waitress mixed up the plates a bit but no real biggie. I'm sure I'll be back.
