I noticed this evening that the Mexican options in my town are far too limited. I was craving some tacos. Not the kind of "tacos" that you'd find at the Taco Bell Drive-Thru drowning in cheese and sour cream, but the authentic Mexican variety with lots of chopped raw onions, cilantro and salsa - nom nom nom. I guess that I could have had this made at any Mexican restaurant, but La Siesta is the one place that had the closest thing already listed on their menu.
We each went with 3 of the Tacos Rancheros, which were steak, salsa verde, raw onions, and cilantro on a corn tortilla. The tacos were really good in that the steak was tender and not fatty as you sometimes find. These tacos took me back to the perfect tacos I had in Vegas back in January at Asada Tacos on Fremont Street. My only complaint was that I prefer a lot more raw onions -- so next time I will ask for extra. (My other favorite menu items at La Siesta include their seafood chimichangas, the cheese & chorizo appetizer and their enchiladas.)
Although the food was perfectly delicious, my experience ordering was a bit of a cluster. I called in my order for carry-out and the girl taking the order was super confused. It could have been a language barrier or it could have been the fact that I have a slight lisp thanks to my braces. Either way, I was extremely grateful when someone else called me back about 5 minutes later to ask what it was I wanted. I prefer having to give my order again then get all the way home and it be wrong and my night ruined.
La Siesta still has my vote for the best Mexican food in town!
Best Mexican restaurant in town! Greay food and fast service! I love their chicken quesadillas! They have a great deal on margaritas on Tuesdays and a variety of flavors. I recommend the Raspberry Margaritas! Â One of the owners also introduced me to the Mexican Coffee (tequila, coffee, kahlua and more) By far my favorite drink there! Prices are great and the service is good.
Review Source:This is my favorite restaurant in the Kankakee area. Â Good food, margaritas and fun. Â The prices are fair. Â This place can get a little loud on weekend nights so if you are the kind of person that doesn't enjoy that sort of ambience, do the rest of us a favor and stay home. Â Otherwise grab a pitcher of margaritas, some good friends and family and have a good time.
Review Source:i personally think by the ratings that the drinks helped the food there are no seasoning or marinades with the chicken nor the steak it had no taste at all i had the steak enchiladas  and the girlfriend had the chicken fajitas and we werent impressed the salsa tasted and looked like tomato soup with onions in it on the other hand the waiters were very nice
Review Source:The best Mexican restaurant in the area, especially if you like chicken tacos and the pricing is fair too. Recommended by friends, and doing the same for you if looking. Haven't eaten anything I haven't liked. Â Interior is small and not comfortable seating, but food more than makes up for it.
Review Source:I had the chicken enchiladas suiza and they were very good. The salsa that comes with the chips is very oniony, so we got guacamole and cheese dip to go with our chips both of which were very good. Nothing special about the guacamole, but still good. The cheese dip is very rich so I'd recommend the smaller
portion. My boyfriend got steak chilaquiles with egg even though they were not on the menu the waiter (possibly owner) hooked him up anyway. They were amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. They also put a pitcher of water on the table, so my glass was always full.
"Oh, Chicken Tacos, buh, bum, bah, buh... Oh, Chicken Tacos!" There's a dance that goes with that song and it's applied exclusively toward La Siesta's chicken tacos. Â I love them... love, love, love them! Â
I also love their salsa. Â I like spicy but La Siesta's is mild and I could honestly put it on everything. Â Sometimes I stop by La Siesta on my way back to Chicago and buy a big 'ol thing of it. Â
I really, truly, 100% love this place!
This is one of our family's favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. The kids love the unlimited chips and salsa. Mom lives the margaritas! Â The food comes out pretty fast and is absolutely wonderful. You will normally find one of the owners here all the time either assisting with the food prep or waiting tables. They're all very friendly and will surely have a good conversation with you if you get them started. If you're considering tacos, stop by here first instead of one of the fast food joints. They put chunks of potato in the taco meat and it adds a great flavor where you wouldn't normally expect to find it in a regular taco.
