Jose's Hacienda - Skokie

I absolutely love this place! It’s truly a hidden gem! Without a doubt, it’s one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area—just don’t let the fact that it’s located in a random office building deter you.

Incredible food at unbeatable prices! We've been enjoying lunch here for around 18 years, and I can confidently say they serve the best chicken tacos I've ever tasted—always made fresh to order. The menu offers a variety of options, including breakfast items, sandwiches, and delicious quesadillas. While the decor isn't the main attraction, the cheerful and friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home (it's located on the third floor of an office building next to Old Orchard mall; just a short walk away). A big thank you to the wonderfully kind owner! We will definitely keep returning and highly recommend this place!

The owner is incredibly friendly and even accepts Zelle as a payment option, which I thought was great. I ordered a burrito, and it was the best I've ever had—I travel a lot! The place is located on the 3rd floor, apartment 16. Really nice!

Jose provided catering for our daughter's graduation with a taquiza/taquero, and it was absolutely perfect! We had carne asada and al pastor tacos, along with cilantro, onions, and two delicious salsas, as well as burgers. Everyone raved about the food—seriously, everyone loved it! I even received texts the next day praising how good it was. Thank you so much for your excellent service; we will definitely be requesting your services again this year!

I have to say, this place is fantastic! I had six tacos during my lunch break, and the owner is a great guy who is eager to help. I never realized it was located on the third floor of the building; I only discovered it because my coworkers pointed it out to me.
