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.

Don't let the name fool you. This place has good authentic Mexican food. The service is great. Best authentic mexican I've found so far in the area. Much better than Primo's on Ridgeland.

My husband and I just moved into Palos Heights and discovered Lucky Burrito a few weeks ago. We, along with other members of our famiy, love the food! Everything tastes fresh and seems to be good quality! The beef and steak are very lean and the chicken is all white meat which is definitely rare for a small Mexican restaurant. The salsa and guac are also fantastic! Finally, the owner does all the cooking and he and the ladies that work there are super friendly and warm and the restaurant is very clean! We highly recommend this great restaurant!

This place is awesome! I have never eaten at the Oak Lawn location, but stop by here at least a few times a month as I live right down the street. We always order the hard shell tacos (they make their own shells to order), burritos, and guacamole. NOM NOM! Their green sauce is too good to stop, and we have tried their tamales and enchiladas too. The steak and chicken are always hot and quality.The service is super quick, friendly, and keeps me coming back. This is definitely worth a stop! Also, we just ordered over $100 worth for a work lunch today (hard to do, because it's pretty cheap!) - everything was hot and correct. All our service technicians asked where we got the food from. One of the owners even helped me put all the food in my car! They really know how to run a business!!!

Very good Mexican food. They have very good salsa and haven't had a bad meal there yet!!! Always quick and polite service. There has been many Mexican restaurants in that location but this one I'm sure is here to stay!!

Decided to make a bit of a drive to try the Lucky Burrito based on all of the positive Yelp reviews, but I wasn't as enthusiastic about my experience. My wife and I chose to dine in. They brought out chips and salsa and we also ordered the guacamole. Both the salsa and guacamole were very tasty. The waitress was also really nice. I ordered the steak tacos and my wife ordered the enchiladas verde with chicken. My steak tacos were really dry, even the hot sauce and salsa couldn't make them moist enough for me to want to eat them. I'm not sure if it was an off night or if that's how the meat normally is here, but my wife's chicken was super dry as well. They also got busy with take out orders and then the waitress disappeared. I had to go to the counter to get a staff members attention to get my check. This place just isn't for me.

Lucky us, for finding this place. Chips is usually good indication of a Mexican restaurants caliber. This one says its top notch. Forget about its small square footage. Food here impresses. Service is attentive, looks to be the owner cooking and servicing. Food is great and portions are always too much, not complaining. Chimichanga is great. Rice was flavorful. Chicken in the chimi and burrito have full flavor and tender, which isn't always the case. Good idea to ask if your dish is spicy. Some items came pre spiced and they are very spicy. Oh and the sign says BYOB, and there's a TV. Looks like a place to party.

OMG, this place is the bomb. Who knew that a place you would expect to be a whole in the wall down town would find it's way to Palos Heights? I ordered a taco salad and to my surprise the cook makes their own taco bowls! Ground beef is spicy, yet good! You know the type; makes your nose run but you keep going back for more. In fact, I liked the taco salad so much that I had it two days in a row. My second visit was a taco salad and burrito. Both awesome! Besides Pop's Beef (127th & Harlem) this is my new favorite!!!

We had chicken enchiladas verdes that was so good I woke up wanting them for breakfast. Also had great chile rellenos thays were awesome. Tacos are delicious and filled and beautiful. Very happy and will be back.

I don't usually leave reviews but I just ate here and now I can't stop telling people how great this place is. It is not only the best Mexican food I've ever had but quite possibly the best food of any kind. They are super nice and friendly, the food is ready crazy fast, and it is soooooooo delicious. I can't wait to go back again this weekend. I would give ten stars if I could.
(5)Margarita And Edward M.
We just moved into the Palos Heights area from Chicago. In Chicago, you can find awesome Mexican food everywhere, and boy were we surprised to find a place that rivals Chicago's authentic Mexican food taste! Like one of the other reviewers said, "don't let the name fool you". This place is has AWESOME food! One of the best veggie burritos I've had in a long time, and the rest of the food is equally as good! Enjoy, we sure do! Thanks Lucky Burrito your food is soooooooooooooo delish!

Should be renamed YUCKY BURRITO. I wonder why there are such plentiful positive reviews. It was busy while we were there, walking in, phoning in, dining in... but I wonder if it's because of lack of options in the area, which surprises me. Dined in yesterday (Sunday), party of 6, first time there. Decided to try it based on all the great Yelp reviews since we were in the area. Will NOT return. All those carry out people... I suggest you walk in and look at the establishment... wished I had seen the bathroom & kitchen before we decided to eat there. Shoddy maintenance throughout building/unit, very unkept bathroom and kitchen... two signs that make me frightened about the seriousness of cleanliness in this place. Not fast service, probably because the single woman is taking care of phone/carry out orders + walk ins. She was friendly, but not overly. Not all items on menu have prices, not a big menu, and low quality food, especially for the prices. Prices were around $7-9 single items, $13.50 plates, which is not super cheap for what you get, in our experience compared to other similar restaurants that we frequent in the surrounding Joliet area closer to where we dine on a regular basis. Order item + our family rating: chips/salsa offered on table - very skimpy for 6 people, decent taste Steak enchiladas $9- meh (alhough pretty presentation, pleasant surprise from rest of experience), overly salty, overcooked steak, not plentiful filling) 3 Mini burrito plate (vegetarian, shared between children) $7 - fair, decent price if you get the meat option, though they skipped serving it with any guac or sour cream as menu stated, when we asked for that and bean filling only instead of the meat choices, cheapos Chicken taco salad $7 - decent, esp with the fresh table salsa, comparable to most every restaurant, even a non Mexican restaurant version Vegetarian chimichanga $8- (picture attached) yuck, ordered as "everything" yet only ingredients were beans, rice & cheese, only thing served with it was lettuce/tomato, same price as steak/chicken/any other meat... yet it comes with less, ridiculously sad sides (shared with everyone)- obviously prepared/boxed rice with overly salty, run of the mill MSG laden seasoning; overly salty, runny, canned beans, thinned, runny sour cream; barely visible, runny guacamole (was that mayonnaise in there?) I was left with the feeling that they really didn't care to serve a great meal & were skimpy on ingredients and quality. I also see other photos posted with big plates --not the case with our dining yesterday! Look at the photo difference between my chimichanga and the one posted by another reviewer... mine came with no beans/rice other than what was in it... ridiculous difference in quality/quantity/consistency. Glad I documented it! Wish I would have photographed the other plates while in the restaurant. Healthiness - not at all a good choice. The only vegetables present were a few unripe tomato slices and iceberg lettuce in the salad and served next to the enchiladas and burrito/chimi, also sighted where the few dehydrated token peas & carrot cubes in the boxed fried rice, maybe 6 counted in all. Sad. Atmosphere- Small, meager seating, can maybe accommodate 16 or so people total. Friendly single female worker. Chairs and table were sticky. Restaurant unit structure in very poor, dirty, unkept shape. Bathrooms gross. Kitchen area not tidy or clean. I repeat, that seeing that on the way to/from bathroom only solidified my decision not to return there. We will stick to other Mexican restaurants in a very comparable price range and find fresher items, more quality, better ingredients and more homemade dishes, plus vegetables that are actually present.

I usually travel to Alsip for my Mexican food cravings. But I found this join thru Yelp and was less than a 10 min drive to get there. So i decided to try these guys out. Looking at the menu, I was pleasantly suprised to find that they had lots of wonderful choices that aren't normally offered in a typical Taco place. I will make sure to try one of there dinners next time. For this occasion I decided to try something rather ordinary, good ol fashion Asada burrito and a pastor taco. The pastor taco was very good! Had great flavor and was a decent size. The burrito was rather large too, seeing signs advertised the 2ft burrito! and it did not disappoint....in size. I thought the asada was a smidge bland, but by no means bad. the size itself made up for that. To sum it up, would I go there again? Yes, but only if I didn't feel like driving all the way to Alsip,

The food is great and reasonably priced. I had a 3 mini burrito combination for 6 dollars and I am full to the brim!!!! Endless chips and homemade salsa. The inside is small but very cozy. No one paid over 10 for their meals. They do have dinners that were around 12 dollars. You get a lot of food for your money.

Very solid Mexican joint. Clean, speedy, and reasonable. The employees are always friendly. I have never had anything bad from here. Tacos are very good as well as the Chile rellenos.

Went for the first time, had chicken enchiladas and my friend had the steak burrito. I have to say it was great! The beans were packed with flavor and the enchiladas were some of the best I have had the service was quick and the staff was friendly. ..oh and good prices...I found my new go to spot

Perfect food, just like the one on 95th st. I love family owned places like this; ultimately providing better service and better food.

So if you're one of my thousands of followers, you already know that I love to support local family run businesses. Lucky Burrito is one of them. They were helpful and friendly. They were happy to adjust our order to our liking and did it with a smile. We got it to go. It was quick and affordable. I'm guessing it was the woman's husband that did the cooking and he came to the register and personally thanked us for coming. Love that! Our food was hot and deeeeeeeelicious. I had 2 chicken tacos with onions and cilantro. The chicken was nicely seasoned and not overcooked. We ordered chips and salsa, too. The chips are really good, kind of a frito taste except MUCH better. Not overly salty or greasy. Good toasted corn flavor and made in house. The salsa was very fresh and has a vinegar base. We also ordered chicken tamales, 1 red and 1 green. Holy crap! Yum! Moist and tasty. Great flavor. My pairbond liked his carne asada burrito. Their pickled veggies are some of the best I've had. Carrots, cauliflower, onion and jalapenos. Very crunchy, fresh, oregano flakes- perfect. For real, I'm probably going to go back today. I know it is good, so why not? All around a great experience. I would absolutely recommend :)
