Los Corrales — Restaurant in Berwyn

Walking into the vibrant space of a local, family-run Mexican restaurant is like stepping into a warm embrace of culture and tradition. The walls boast bold, handmade murals, and the air hums with the lively sounds of classic Mexican music. This isn’t just about eating out—it’s about celebrating a culinary heritage that has been lovingly passed down through generations.

From the moment I sat down, I was greeted with genuine hospitality. The table was set with colorful, handcrafted pottery that perfectly matched the festive décor. It felt as though I had become part of the family—a rare and welcome touch that immediately set the stage for the feast to come.

I began my meal with a refreshing pitcher of pineapple agua fresca, artfully balanced with a hint of lime. This drink wasn’t merely a palate cleanser; it was an experience in itself, mirroring the perfect blend of sweetness and zest that holds true to authentic Mexican recipes. Each sip evoked memories of long summer afternoons and unforgettable family gatherings.

For my entrée, the chef’s specialties shined—a succulent plate of carne asada accompanied by handmade tortillas, freshly prepared salsas, and a side of traditional refried beans that were slow-cooked to perfection. Every bite combined smoky, char-grilled flavors with the delicate tang of citrus and a rich medley of spices, creating a harmonious blend that celebrated the essence of Mexican cooking. A small bowl of velvety guacamole, adorned with a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil, completed the experience, perfectly balancing both texture and taste.

What truly elevated the experience was the attention to detail in every dish. Whether it was the vibrant freshness of hand-picked cilantro or the rustic simplicity of a well-seasoned broth, the authenticity was palpable. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Tex-Mex fusion—it’s a heartfelt journey back to the roots of true Mexican cuisine, where every spice and ingredient tells a story.

The service was as memorable as the food. The staff’s warmth and dedication were evident in every interaction, enhancing the overall experience. Their commitment to creating an environment that felt both familial and festive reminded me why I cherish these encounters—where food isn’t just nourishment but a celebration of life, community, and heritage.

In the end, this dining experience was more than just a meal; it was a vibrant tapestry of flavor, culture, and tradition—a true fiesta for the senses. If you’re seeking an authentic taste of Mexico that goes beyond the ordinary, a visit to such a restaurant is a journey worth taking. So gather your friends and family, embrace the lively spirit, and let every bite transport you to the...

Worst experience ever .!! I was there less then 10 min ago and we leave without having our breakfast.. we Drive from the suburbs to come and eat here because the food is good.. but the service is TERRIBLE…. and is not the first time that we come and have the same terrible service, but today was the worst.. we ask for a little bit of ice for my coffee and the waiter told me he don’t have regular cups and if he give me ice in a plastic cup he’s gonna have to charge for it… he was rude and very unpleasant . After 30 minutes waiting for the food he start asking for our food, we told him that they served a table that was there before us and his answer was, “I just took the order, the cookers made the food”. Wrong answer,and we decide to leave. We went to paid and he told the manager the we are leaving because they serve someone before us!!! Witch it wasn’t that the problem… the problem was HIS service.. the manager says on don’t charge and he responded.. No even the drinks????? I don’t know what does he think we have to paid beside that… but Yes they charge us for a cup of coffee and and OJ… $11.00. .. we paid and leave… Honestly this people need to take some training on how to run this restaurant… VERY...

My family of 10 came to eat here for lunch on Sunday afternoon. We’re always very patient and understanding when service is slow, especially on the weekends and when it’s a big party, but this was excessive. Aside from the slow and poor service, my flautas had a hair on them. My dad got a gray-looking menudo, which smelled AWFUL. It literally made all of our stomachs turn. My dad still tried giving his food a chance but never got tortillas per his request, so he sat around waiting ~15 minutes till he finally asked for the tortillas again. He eventually got his tortillas and began to eat but couldn’t get 2 spoonfuls in because the menudo tasted awful. There were 3 total orders of chilaquiles, and we only got 2. We told the server that they missed an order, but we think she forgot to place the order because it took about 30-40 mins for the last order of chilaquiles to come out, so everyone else was practically done eating. They charge an additional $10 fee for using a credit card.. which is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!! And lastly, the table was STICKY; my sweater kept sticking to the table. I didn’t notice until I got up, but there was greasy food residue on my chair, which I sat on and STAINED my pants horribly with grease stains. Filthy!!! They have mariachis performing, too, which is fine, but the location is tiny, accentuating the noise level. Good luck having a conversation here; we had to scream when conversing. I’m upset that the tip was already added to the bill because although I genuinely believe all servers deserve 18-20%, she certainly did not! Awful experience, never again.

Mi familia de 10 vino a comer aquí para almorzar el domingo por la tarde. Siempre somos muy pacientes y comprensivos cuando el servicio es lento, especialmente los fines de semana y cuando somos muchos, pero esto fue excesivo. Aparte del servicio lento, mis flautas tenían un pelo. Mi papá ordeno un menudo y se veía gris, que olía TERRIBLE. Nos revolvía a todos nuestros estómagos. Mi papá aun así probó su comida, pero nunca le llego tortillas que pidió desde el principio cuando ordeno su comida, así que se espero ~15 minutos hasta que finalmente volvió a pedirle a la mesera por las tortillas. Finalmente le trajeron sus tortillas y comenzó a comer, pero no pudo comerse más de 2 cucharadas porque el menudo le supo horrible. Hubo 3 órdenes totales de chilaquiles, y solo salieron 2. Le dijimos a la mesera que se le olvidaron una orden, pero creemos que se olvidó pedir la orden porque cuando le dejamos saber que nos faltaba una orden, tardaron unos 30-40 minutos en salir, por lo que todos los demás prácticamente terminaron de comer. Cobran una tarifa adicional de 10 dólares por usar una tarjeta de crédito... una RIDICULEZ!!! Y por último, la mesa estaba bien pegajosa! ; mi suéter seguía pegándose a la mesa. No me di cuenta hasta que me levanté, pero había residuos de comida grasosa en mi silla, en la que me senté y me manché los pantalones horriblemente con manchas de grasa. Asquerosidad!!! También tienen mariachis, que me encantan, pero la ubicación esta pequeña, lo que acentúa el nivel de ruido. Totalmente, no se puede hablar ahi nada. Me molesta que la propina ya se haya añadido a la cuenta porque, aunque realmente creo que todos los meseros merecen un 18-20%, ella no se lo...
