What are the best Mexican restaurants in Illinois that aren’t on this trail?
Some of the best Mexican restaurants have the most authentic cuisine. Santiago’s Mexican Restaurant in La Grange is frequented by locals and is known for its excellent food, service, and margaritas. Also known mostly to locals is Hacienda Cantina & Grill in Pekin. Its traditional family recipes and colorful decor will transport you to Mexico City. Martinez Tacos Restaurant in Kankakee is a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant that everyone needs to visit. Its authentic home-style cooking will make your tastebuds believe you are in Mexico, as will the charming decor.
Where can I find the best margaritas in Illinois?
Many Mexican restaurants across the Land of Lincoln have incredible margaritas, which are a great compliment to a delicious taco (or other Mexican dishes). If you are looking for size, both Don Reales Mexican Restaurant in Champaign and Toro Loco in Urbana offer up margaritas in giant glasses. For hotter days, a frozen margarita at Huaraches Moroleon in Urbana may be a good idea. There are many more we could list but if you are in the mood for the famed tequila-based drink, check out our previous article: Drink Your Way Through Illinois On The Margarita Marathon.
