Ochoa’s Mexican grill is the hidden gem in Deerfield. I would say that compete with any Mexican restaurant even in the city. The food quality is of high quality! I loved the attention for the dietary restrictions they asked us about! The staff even recommended items for us. If you are in Deerfield you need to try OMG out!

Was craving Mexican so have this place a shot. I saw the one review complaining about the flavor and salsa consistency and now that I've tried it understand. This is not cumin heavy texmex. This is closer to authenticate Mexican. I kinda got that hint when I was the only gringo in the place, until just as I was leaving. Lol I found the skirt tacos to be excellent. Rice was good and refried beans very good. You get roja and (I think) tomatillo/avocado salsas as a condiment and both were excellent. Avocado slices and fresh lime made for a quite tasty meal.

Overall, Ochoa’s was super good. I’ve been coming back here frequently and recommend it to everyone. The staff is super friendly and helpful when ordering food — which is amazing. The birria tacos always taste so good especially with the lime and hot pepper additions.

What a great food! I especially recommend burrito bowl (arrachera and shrimps) and freshly made delicious tacos. Service is very helpful and polite. I definitely hope to go back.

Plenty of parking, even in a strip mall. Outdoor seating is rustic and clean. Walk up to the counter and order from the menu above. They're slammed during busy hours, but are quick and friendly. Green sauce is mild, red is hot. Food was excellent!
