Nina's Market - La Salle, Illinois

Here is a pro-tip: the taqueria inside of a Mexican grocery store is nearly always going to be fire. Nina’s is no different. Beautiful, clean, friendly spot with fantastic food in quaint downtown LaSalle. Homemade tamales on weekends!

Went here for the first time yesterday with my girlfriend and was definitely a good experience. I got three tacos that were a variety of chicken pork and steak. The quality was so unbelievable I never had tacos anywhere else like it. The waitress had very good service and she said something about trying The Cartinas taco next time but I got one to go. My girlfriend enjoyed the chimichanga that she had which was chicken. Not only that but I did order extra rice with mine and I got probably twice or three times the amount of rice that I ordered somewhere else and ask for extra. Overall best experience I had at a Mexican restaurant and probably will not go back to any other one except Ninas.

I just love Nina's! What an asset to downtown LaSalle and our Latin community. I am posting pictures of the store, our lunch(huge portions), and a menu for the restaurant (which is now in a bigger building attached to the original). Very nice and spacious.

Great food. Fantastic selection of proteins. If you like authentic Mexican cuisine, then this is one of the best places around.

Come here for the Mexican food at the restaurant. Their prices are fair and portions are big. One of my top three places to eat at.

This is a re reveiw as i wanted to check out the resturant nextdoor.
This statement is my opinion as i always do my best to rate a place.
Food is good, fresh, portion size is good, great prices, byob or you can buy drinks at the resturant.

Few issues is that there was only one waitress and 1 busboy who seem to have trouble taking orders for 20 booths, so the wait time to us was not acceptable because we waited over an hour for 6 tacos and a burger. The waitress at the same time was the cashier and the busboy was taking plates to the table. We feel it caused the floor to look super dirty. We noticed the cooks were sending out 1 plate at a time to each table and tables wernt getting their food at the same time. Another lady was conplaining that she was missing 1 out of 4 dinners thats insane because she waited an extra 15min for a plate that should have been in the bag. Customers were upset that it was taking a long time to pay for there meal. As a manager for over 10 years there should be a good system in place in the back of the kitchen and in the front of the house you should never have a waitress also be a cashier and a busboy to be passing out disshes. There should be at least a few people in the front. There was over 6 to 7 guys cooking in the back but yet 1 dish at a time was going out makes no sense.

1 star knocked off because of the food service, but will maintain 4 stars because of the store thats what brought me in.

We see the strive for greatness here but there is a lack of leadership on the resturant side, and feel the kitchen should be better at managing orders and getting all the tables dishes on time. Great customer service and the 2 employees where kind.

Store front review

Authentic mexican grocery store everything you need to create authentic mex foods, this place has so much imported mexican snacks, candy, foods, drinks, i highly recommend. Next to the store they have a mexican resturant attached to the grocery store. I will def need to come back for that, as i was very impressed with the imported snacks the grocery store had to offer !

This is my favorite place to get Mexican food! It’s so good and you cannot get more authentic Mexican cuisine anywhere. The price is great and the portions are huge!

There was doubt the new owners could match the quality. That doubt evaporated the moment I tasted the tacos. Same as I remember! Very happy with this place overall.
