Melys Mexican Cuisine

Very authentic cuisine, tastes just like home in Mexico .

I decided to try this Mexican restaurant after reading the reviews. Sadly the reviews don’t match my experience. I ordered a steak burrito dinner. The burrito was so soggy it literally flopped over and water was dripping out of it. The beans and rice were just ok but they sure did not give much. The green sauce was not spicy and has a vinegar flavor. Lots of the steak was not chewable. I also got sick from this burrito dinner and yes it was the ONLY thing I ate today. I will never cheat on Burrito Jalisco again as they are amazing. Hard pass for this restaurant!

As a long time patron of Melys, today was my last day. I’ve been visiting this restaurant for a few years faithfully, twice a week sometimes. Today I picked up my order and when I got home, I realized the cook gave me flour shells although I ordered corn. I had to drive back to the restaurant, the cashier told me I could keep the incorrect meal and give it to someone but then the cook wanted the incorrect meal so he could “check it” to make sure it was actually inaccurate. I gave the cashier the food back and a few moments later, requested a full refund. I do not want to spend another dime in this establishment because I had no reason to lie about something as simple as a shell and I also frequent this business often so that rubbed me the wrong way. This is not the first time my order has been incorrect but this is one of the few times I spoke up about it. I’ve even given one of the ladies that works there the bracelet off of my wrist because she liked it. I will find another Mexican restaurant to order from or I’ll cook at home. 0/10 I do not recommend.

Food is delicious best I’ve found since I’ve moved to IL. Prices are great for the servings you get. Burritos gonna feed me for 2 days

Melys is always great! If you haven't tried their steak tacos, then you don't know what you're missing. One of the best places around.

Staff is super welcoming and friendly and the food was really good definitely recommend

Never a bad visit ~ hubby and I eat there at least 2-3x a month lunch or dinner. Staff is friendly and attentive to the customers. Food is delicious portion size is good. Very nice neighborhood diner for us. Prices are reasonable. Easy access parking. Thank you !
