El Barrio III Mexican Bar & Grill

The atmosphere and service were excellent!!

The food was fresh and fantastic! A must try!

Ordered the extra large margarita $25. There was no alcohol. Ugh

Got the bowl drink....no alcohol just salt at the bottom 1 outta 5. Chips n salsa fresh, ask for hot stuff 3 outta 5. Got the Tampicos, both of them, one Reggie & the other Surf n Turf, the Carnes were reheated as well as the shrimps and enchiladas, beans and rice needed just a lil bit of love 1 outta 5. Got tacos, too. The lengua was good. it's just way too skimpy 4 outta 5. Pastor 3 outta 5. Food was seasoned and tasty despite the method of preparation, but this the second time around, and this time the they got their liquor license, and even that was a kick in balls!!! Flans PERFECT 6 outta 5. And the tortillas!!!!....also perfect, piping hot!!!! 6 outta 5!!!!

Mondays and Tuesdays are $1 tacos, but smaller than normal, but they are $1 , their locations do $2.. villa park does $1.. I get it every week, and every time it’s hot fresh and tastes amazing ! Staff is always friendly , service is fast. I call and order as I’m getting in the car , by the the time I drive the 2 miles it’s almost ready.. I have ordered on other days and the food quality is always consistent and delicious. Pricing maybe be a tad higher, but then again everything now a days is high. The hot sauce … is Hot and has great flavor. I’ve never dined in, but the the place is always nice and clean and appears comfortable. They do have alcohol, I don’t drink so I can’t comment on that. It’s definitely my weekly go to spot at the start of my week.. and I eat Mexican food very often Parking: Plenty of parking with 2 entrances, 1 right off St. Charles, and 1 off the side street.. if I recall there are 2-3 handicap spots also Kid-friendliness: I do t have kids , but I’ve seen them in there and my friends have been in there with theirs after my recommendation.. haven’t heard anything negative Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps or ramps and the seating can handle a wheel easily, I don’t use one, but I have gone in with a blow out back and a huge plastic boot.

Fake people. I gave my credit card and she charged a tip on that automatically

The taco’s are the best that I’ve had in a long time!

Real home cooked Mexican food place is very clean great specials
