Best Restaurants for Foodies in Melrose Park

Nice variety in an up-beat atmosphere. Tasty small plates.

Wine tasting is 1000% worth it, service was quick despite a packed house, hosts were incredibly understanding and helpful when we had to push our reservation back a little, our server was quick and helpful, and the food was delicious!! I’ve never had such incredible fish in my life. The chimichurri sauce with the southwest egg rolls was strangely sweet but I can see why the egg rolls are a classic!

Absolutely Outstanding! We had the most incredible experience celebrating our anniversary here. Everything was perfect, and our server (I believe their name was Nick) went above and beyond with their helpfulness and expertise. The food was phenomenal (get the quail), and the overall atmosphere was flawless. My husband summed it up best: “My only critique is that I’m not still there eating the food.” Truly a 20/10 experience—we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

We have dined at Maya del Sol several times and we are never disappointed. The whole place has a nice vibe - the large bar area is boisterous and the dining room is busy but cozy. It strikes a nice balance between city and suburbs nestled in downtown Oak Park. Perfect for date night or dinner with family or friends. The food is delicious. We always start with the nachos, which have a tangy mango braised beef. Everything on the menu is good, from the enchiladas to the tamales, to the burger and the salads. The drinks are good, and the service is excellent. You really can’t go wrong with this place!

It was perfect. A cold night, and not crowded in the restaurant. Our server (new to us) was very good. I wish I could remember his name (hair pulled back, earrings). We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. We do not like the bacon on it and the kitchen made it for us without that. It is so good. We both ordered the mushroom & cheese gnocchi. We'd never had it before and it did not disappoint. It is an excellent addition to the menu. I usually get the Moroccan beef which is superb. Again, the gnocchi was exactly perfect. Just a lovely evening.
