La Hacienda Cantina - Paxton (IL)

5 /5 Andres Montoya: Really nice Mexican restaurant in the outsides of chicago. We had the nachos 8/10 and the mixed fajita 9/10 all the food was super good, I have never had a fajita with chicken and meat cut up in strips, but honestly I like it. If you get fajitas ask for more tortillas, I didnt, but it only comes with 3 and it does not feel like enough for the amount of meat, pretty sure they will give you more if you ask though. If youre heading to Chicago or leaving its worth it to stop by and have lunch here.

5 /5 Lanie Kell: Headed to Michigan and stopped in Paxton to find some food. Found this little gem and thought we would try it. Haven’t had Mexican food in a little while. Tony greeted us and was very grand informative. Got chips and medium salsa ( which we love ). The chips and salsa here are awesome. Got a chicken quesadilla with beans and two flour tacos with the works. Absolutely loved the tacos!!!! Authentic food for sure. Thank you Tony for your hospitality and to your mom who does an amazing job of cooking. Will keep this place in mind next time we are driving through.

5 /5 Nicole Varela: I just want to say Thank You so much for catering, yet another year! It helped make the holiday season go so smoothly. I appreciate everything you and your staff did to ensure our dinner was a success. Not only was the food fantastic, I overheard several guests raving about the meat and tamales! We know a lot of work goes into making evenings like ours a success-- please pass on our thanks to everyone involved!

2 /5 Andrew Hauersperger: First and foremost, this menu is more than 80% American diner fare with some basic Mexican options scattered far and between. Due to the lack of Mexican options, I ordered a Reuben which they were out of followed by their Deluxe Burger with a medium-well cook. While the burgers taste was nice, the burger was more medium-rare than medium-well(photo). Since the waitress was kind and quick, I did not share my dismay with her. Aside from the lack of even semi-authentic Mexican cuisine, the most disappointing part of my visit came from the well-cleaned bathroom with no soap or paper towels. Obviously that’s very concerning as I’m doubtful the cooks have their own private restroom with soap and paper towels.

4 /5 X897 Active: We loved this place until they started using the same shrimp for the fajitas as they do for the boils . You have to peel etc and they lose their flavor, and honestly it’s just kinda outside of my desire to do while eating . Margaritas are amazing. Asada is fire . Weird hours in the fall and winter :(
