Few things hit the spot quite like an enchilada next to a side of rice, guacamole, pico, and a healthy serving of sour cream.

Throw in a plate of nachos topped with the works aside a large bowl of cheese dip (can't forget the cheese dip) and we have ourselves a tasty, Mexican-inspired meal.

Many restaurants scattered across Illinois serve Mexican-inspired cuisine, but only one stands out above the rest. Be it an unforgettable burrito, an out of this world taco trio, or a chimichanga to end all chimichangas, something about this stellar location lands it on top of the list of the best Mexican restaurants in the whole country.

According to a list compiled by Finance Buzz, the best Mexican restaurant in all of Illinois is 5 Rabanitos in Chicago. This restaurant was praised for its moderately-priced menu items.

Here's what Finance Buzz had to say about the best Mexican restaurant in the entire state:

"Chicago is packed to the brim with incredible Mexican restaurants, but 5 Rabanitos has made quite the name for itself among the gems in Pilsen. With a moderately priced menu and stunning (and very filling) plates, it’s clear why Yelp is filled with rave reviews."
