    Michos has become a weekly tradition since I started working at ArcelorMittal in July. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant ever/best value food ever. I get a chicken quesadilla with a side of sour cream once a week and don't think I will ever get sick of it. How can you beat free chips/salsa and the best quesadilla ever for $2.69 .... not possible.

    That's right, Woohoo! As good as it gets. There is nowhere else in the region where you can get better Mexican food. Absolutely NOWHERE. Must haves: Mole, carne asada, milanesa, menudo, flautas, chiles rellenos, and my all time favorite for breakfast...huevos rancheros. Never had better Mexican food in my life rather than when El Patio was open in E.C. (And my grandmother's cooking).

    Had the taco dinner, ordered one chicken, one steak, and one pork. First off, I'm stuffed! The tacos were huge. All of the tacos were good, but the pork was awesome. Tender, flavorful.... And the home made salsa was great. For $8, I'm stuffed and happy. Will be back again for lunch! The pork tacos are awesome! Ordered taco dinner, I'm stuffed, tacos are huge!

    This was nice local recommendation courtesy of Yelper pal, Jennifer G in Merillville. I had 3 enchiladas Mexicana (Spanish red sauce) for $5.25. Refried beans and rice were fresh and good. This is now one of my favorites in the area for good, cheap Mexican eats. They have a large menu selection, and many items are under $6. Dining room is comfortable, and they take credit cards. Jennifer - this place may have been discovered - lunch crowd was half Hispanic, half Caucasian!

    The food is excellent but on this visit we had their pineapple agua fresca, which was to die for. I always get the enchiladas verde here which never disappoints, the steak tacos are also fantastic and the burittos are great and huge. My youngest gets a torta, which he loves here as well. This is a gem worth the trip.

    I came here on a recommendation from a coworker and I've been a regular here since I started working in the area back in 2005. The place might not be much to look at but the food is incredible. I love the tacos, steak and spicy pork are my faves, and the tortas are wonderful. I've explored the menu a bit and have yet to come across something that wasn't flavorful and delicious. For authentic Mexican cuisine you won't find a better combo of delicious and value anywhere in the area.

    The food here was excellent and I'd say this is my second favorite Mexican restaurant in NW Indiana. To start off with, the salsa that comes with the chips is awesome. It's a cabbage-based pico de gallo. I don't know if there's a specific name for that kind of salsa, but it's the best salsa I've ever had. The food comes in really large portions, everything I've had there is really good, and the prices are really reasonable. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because the location is in a really sketchy neighborhood. The only times I've been here were at lunchtime, with a big group of co-workers. This isn't a neighborhood I would ever feel comfortable coming to alone in the evening.

    Its preety average to me,coming from Chicago where the real Mexican taste is at, but this is not a bad spot. There is very delicious platters. Like the Pollo con Mole and the Breaded steak is phenomenal.

    What can I say about this place that hasn't already been said? I love coming here for lunch. The food is the best Mexican I've had. The girls waiting the floor are really great, they don't even ask me if I want a menu anymore. The cabbage based pico is wonderful, and the salsa you get with the meal comes in a squirt bottle so you can put it on everything. I usually get the steak taco dinner with an extra bowl of pico, it comes with limes to squeeze on your tacos. I see people eating just about everything, I have to try the soup one of these days, it comes in a huge bowl with dinosaur sized pieces of meat and veggies. If I had anything bad to say about them it's that they are wasting their talents by not opening another place in Merrillville. Please patronize this place if you are in The Harbor, they all work hard and deserve to succeed.

    Hello FOOD SNOB here. When Mexican friends say this place is authentic I had to try it. The inside is not the most inviting. It reminds me of an old fashion diner. It seems like real good restaurants are in old neighborhoods like this. The Beans and Rice tasted very homemade and authentic. The Milianesa Torta was as Big as my Head, really. They give you a lot of Meat and big chunks of Guacamole. The bread could hardly hold it. Steak Enchilada Suiza was very tasty, in its rich sauce. The Guacamole dip had Big Chunks of Tomato and Onion, but could have had a little more seasoning. A little salt took care of that.

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.
