It’s a northwestern and north Evanston staple and a great place for good, affordable lunch. I have been coming here for the past 5 years almost once a week. Their burritos are yummy with several vegetarian options. Over the years, I have grown to love the sweet potatoes and the tofu burrito and every once in a while I order the yucca or the spicy mushrooms. They also give you a standard red salsa, but when I have asked for it, I have also gotten either a salsa verde or a spicy salsa. If there’s one place that I would come back to eat in Evanston this would be it. I think their burritos are second only to the ones I have had in Mexico City. It’s a great blend of heat, fat, salt and acidity and their taste has been consistent over the past 5 years.I love their new online ordering system, it’s faster and more organized than their original system where you’d go into the store and stand in a line to place an order. The older system was chaotic. The online system has some issues occasionally but it’s pretty reliable and convenient. It is take out only and during the summer they have a few chairs outside, I’ve never seen the outdoor seats empty though!All in all, amazing place, fantastic service and great food.

Nice place.I tried the burrito which was just okay (all the meat was at the bottom and it has too much rich and very few veggies to my taste/opinion).If I'll have a chance I will try something different.

The food was good. Horchata was too sweet for my taste and expensive for the size. Prices are fairly decent, however each additional extra ingredient such as sour cream and cheese is $1.50, guac is $3, you can potentially be paying $11 for 1 taco. I think if they change their high fees for extra ingredients I would return. So far, all of my co-workers had a sticker shock when we ordered.

This is my favorite spot for lunch in Evanston. The food is always fresh, made very quickly, and delicious. I’ve yet try something on the menu I didn’t absolutely love. I don’t normally leave reviews, but I need to tell someone!

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in north side chicago (let me tell you, not the easiest to find without going south chicago) this is the place to go. I come here regularly to get lunch for my partner and I and the food consistency is always there. They have wonderful vegetarian options (the sweet potatoe gordita or black bean burrito are two of my go-tos but they’re all good) and the meat there is tasty as well. The food is always ready in such a fast time, even if there are a ton of orders. I don’t think I have waited longer than 10 minutes for my food but usually is like 3-4 mins. I recommend this place to anyone, great food and the staff is super friendly.**UPDATEI wanted to add a few more to my review.The consistency is amazing at this place. The food is always so delicious and the portions are generous for the cost. The salsa is fantastic, and the heat varies on the day. overall, it’s not very spicy but sometimes more than others. Sometimes they have fried plantains and they are SO GOOD AND SOFT. the pomegranate sauce with it is a nice touch. They will continue to have our business.SIDE NOTE - The burritos do not come cut in half, this was for pictures.

Not the best tacos in the world, not wow, meat is a bit dry in tacos beef. I loved their empanadas and will order more than one next time. Shop is tight, don t expect to eat there, it s only for pickup but food is well wrapped. Shop has different juices (rice, mango, etc.) but haven t tried them yet. Last but not least, staff is very kind!

Food was good.I tried quesadilla and taco. They were really good. Taco can be more flavourful though.This place is take out only, but was impressively quick, I waited for less than 10 min after my order I guess. Good to order and go ahead.

Last weekend I drove down from Buffalo Grove to Evanston to grab some food here at Tomate with my cousin. I wish I lived closer, the carne asada burritos are super clean & the best that I have tried in illinois. Friendly service as well, i will be back soon for the Chicken Gordita!

We love Tomate Fresh ! The tacos and burritos are super fresh and delicious. We pick up or have delivered at least once a week. The Aqua Fresca and chili relleno burrito combo is very satisfying.
