Mexico Chiquito — Restaurant in Cedar Creek Township

IF YOU WANNA SPEND $80 for TWO people to eat dinner go ahead but you will be hungry when you leave. This place was decent till recently, we have been here multiple times and had many things from the menu. The portion size for “The House” meal is absurd for $23. I’ll attach a picture below. We also couldn’t get queso added to the meal (offered to pay) so instead we had to order a side of queso, I guess you could say we are being petty but we got told “She” isn’t gonna changed her recipe! You mean her frozen queso dip or frozen fajita meat? 4 very small pieces of Steak 5 pieces of chicken 5 Shrimp We will never eat here again. Rude responses when asking questions charges $2.50 for a can of pop and I’m tired of these businesses blaming tariffs yet they haven’t even started. What a shame this small business is trying to ROB the people who live here...

New to town and I am so glad I learned about this place while reading a Facebook discussion on the best Mexican restaurants in Lowell/Cedar Lake. Had it not been for the discussion, I would have never discovered Mexico Chiquito. The staff person I encountered was very friendly and seemed to have a more than familar relationship with several patrons. This is what a local business is all about. Having "regulars" and knowing their names. Made me feel all warm inside. Oh and the food is great too. I had the enchiladas, rice and beans. The beans had so much flavor. The chips and salsa were fantastic. I called my husband to tell him about them. They came out hot and fresh. Yum. I can't wait to go back and try out...

It’s a small quaint place. They make fresh chips Yummmy ( I had to buy a bag to bring home) I ate tostadas I normally don’t put meat on my tostadas but I had shredded pork tostadas and they were very delicious. The rice and beans were good not chemical tasting like I find most Mexican rice at restaurants. (Not sure why I make it at home and it dose t call for anything that would make it taste like that) They sere just the right portion I had thee tostadas and perfect scoop or rice and beans not an over sized plate full of beans and rice. My family enjoyed their food as well. Needless to say we cleaned our plates and has a churro...
