The Mexican Grille

this place was and is a complete JOKE.
food was absolutely horrible. i have gotten a better burrito from el famous or taco bell. it came barely above room temperature.

they are only open for like 3 hours a day at lunch otherwise its a dining room/add on for club e (which is a shit hole nightmare review for another time)

the girl behind the counter had the snobbiest attitude you could imagine for such a small dive resturant

I went there for the first time last week and ordered the steak burrito and it was Awesome! The steak was tender and juicy, unlike many other places that mass produce their meat and end up overcooking it in heated bins. Very close to authentic places downtown Chicago. The only down side is that they are not open on Sunday. This is my new favorite burrito place!

I went here with a friend during off peak hours. The service was friendly enough and the food came out relatively quick. Unfortunately, they didn't have horchata which I feel is a much have at any respectable Mexican place. I ordered the steak fajita platter which I thought was smaller in portion than what I was expecting. The beans and rice were of standard fare for an order-at-the-counter place. The steak and peppers were decent but nothing out of the ball park. It could have use a little bit more flavor and charring. The place was clean and their salsa are pretty good - nice flavor and fresh. Verdict? If I happen to be in the area and crave cheap, decent Mexican food, Mexican Grille is the place to be. Otherwise, I wouldn't specifically go to this  place especially if there was another order-at-the-counter Mexican place closer by. If you find yourself in the area and craving Mexican, check this place out.
