Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

In my quest for great taco joints, I think I found a gem. I traveled down to Aurora to see what the Pastor was all about. I ended up ordering a Pastor dinner plate. A BIG portion of Pastor, Rice, Beans, Lettuce, Tomatoes with corn tortillas. I consider myself a big eater and I had a hard time finishing everything. I have to say it was the best Pastor I've had to date. It was my first time having pastor that was cooked on a spit like gyros are cooked. Completely different favor and I like it. Another first was a thousand island type of sauce that was on the lettuce and tomatoes, wasn't sure at first but I ended up liking that as well. I'm anxious to go back and order the Pastor nachos. I'll go back. As others have mentioned, you might not want to be cruising around late at night, not that I encountered anyone unfavorable. Just be aware of your surroundings and you'll be fine.

I'm never coming back, I was highly disappointed! I'm a big supporter of local business, especially if it's downtown, but this is a sad effort at being a restaurant. One night I was craving tacos so me and my brother went out for one, but instead of going to our usual spot I wanted to try this hole in the wall we seen a while back. I ordered a burrito de asada and a taco de tripas, but the cook said they were out of tripas, my brother ordered a torta de asada. It was a bit on the pricey side, but I thought it was gonna be worth it. So we get home, bag is feeling heavy and we're excited to dig in. We take our food out the bag and the bag has big grease spots and the food wrapper was full of grease, no biggie, doesn't kill our appetite too bad. We open the wrapper, I pick up my burrito and half the burrito tortilla is orange from all the grease and in the wrapper is a huge puddle of grease, at this point I'm scared and hoping I don't get sick or get heart burn. I start eating, my brothers eating, I'm not enjoying it but still trying to think what I think about it. I get about half way when I lose my appetite and think, this doesn't taste normal, something tastes over seasoned and I can't tell whether it's the beans or the meat. I pick up a piece of meat, and what do you know? It's that fake taco bell meat!! It crumbles in my fingers! My brother noticed it too and was just as disappointed. Look a little closer for the cheese because I didn't see it, instead of using traditional Mexican cheese they use yellow american cheese!!! I was disgusted! Worst experience ever and next time I'm looking for some late night eats, this will not be on my list!

Heard about this place from one of my fellow poker players. The map is wrong as its on the corner of La Salle & Benton. A neighborhood corner type of location. Inside had that old divey diner look going for them and could benefit from a little remodeling. Very crowded when I went in as it look about 10 minutes to get their attention. It was cool that you got to see the guy cook your food in front of you if you get a counter seat. They also had a spit broiler for the al pastor meat. The sign outside read "Best burritos in town," so I got an al pastor burrito $6.40, a steak, chicken, and pork taco $2.10 each, and a large Jamaica. Service was good, despite the crowds. The tacos were pure grease bombs! Good, but so-so greasy. And the included hot sauce had a good amount of pepper seeds which will make you lock your lips on a faucet. Burrito was better, was big and had lots of meaty pork pieces from the spit. Could see some people (especially suburbanites) feel uncomfortable going in.

The best El Pastor and lengua tacos any where I've been. I've eaten here for 31 years 2 owners and nothing has changed. A few of us from work go here and we actually stopped for a little bit when they raised there prices but after eating smaller portions that weren't as good at several other restaurants we figured out they were way under priced to start with. Also the city finally took out the parking meters and opened up a free lot across the street so it's way more convenient no more parking a block or 2 away. If you don't mind a hole in the wall type of restaurant this place is the best.

Fave place for tacos or nachos! Lots of food for your buck and always flavorful. If you want something adjusted they'll easily do it no problem at all. I have since moved two towns over but will always be back for their food. Its a small run down lil place can be a tad hot in the summer but its well worth it. Big menu and very nice people. Sometimes you may end up with a server who doesn't speak english well but there is never an issue communicating and getting what i want correct. Plus if you go there often enough they remember what you typically order. I like to bring my friends here when them come from out of state to eat. Nothing like good authentic mexican food. :) They also have items for children who are picky eaters like pizza puffs and chicken nuggets. My husband loves the langua tacos? tongue tacos. They are stuffed full.

Great Mexican food in Aurora. Great service. Burritos Al Pastor are great. You can also pick up some Menudo early Saturday morning. Nice portions

The al pastor here is my favorite! Marinated and then cooked slowly, I usually get out in a taco or a kick ass torta. Also their agua de horchata is awesome here. Open late so we usually go after hitting the bars. They have cheese fries topped with your choice of taco meat. Yessssssssssssss
(5)Shilpi H.
Tacos al pastor were excellent: 2.30 per taco. My kids loved the flavor of the chicken in the tacos. Horchata was yummy. Very nice staff.

As you enter Taqueria Durango it's about as Divey as It gets for a Diner. If your looking for a place that serves grease bomb Al Pastor from 8:00 A.M Monday till 3:00 A.M Saturday Morning, makes no difference...the grease flows like molten lava! For me, the diner atmosphere is the draw. Management is friendly, but "You" have to capture their attention to place an order! THE LATE NIGHT CROWD is the money maker here. At that point, most people give a shit if a taco is greasy or dry as long as its sops up some alcohol. The menu is extensive however convenience trumps taste and variety as a reason to be here. Well worth the price of admission if your very patient and people watching is on your agenda.

Really good joint. Had the pastor tacos, really enjoyed. Normally 3 tacos is good for me, but this place is generous, so 2 would have been perfect. I would recommend.

Love love love these tacos. Their burritos are the size of my head. Everything is cooked fresh. The pastor meat is to die for! Their horchata is sweet heaven. What is not to love about Taqueria Durango. We head here almost every Tuesday for tacos Tuesday. Had my first date with my boyfriend here and love to go here for our anniversaries. No taco place comes close to this one.

I've been coming here for over 30 years. The best in Aurora! They make the best lingua too

Customer service here is fantastic. We walked in and I was craving elotes but they politely said they didn't have that. I went in starving and came out in a food coma. The food is a bit on the greasier heavier side, but was delicious to me! I ordered a torta and man was it overflowing with protein! You get your money's worth here.

Pastor, Pastor, Pastor!! I want Guy Fieri with Diners Drive-ins and Dives to come here and get the Pastor Nachos. No one has a better Pastor then this place. And I have eaten a lot of taco's in my 38 years of life. Oh and if you do try a Pastor taco I say ask for yellow cheese. They will put a slice of cheese between the two tortillas. It helps so the taco won't rip apart when you eat it and it's also very good. It is a Dive thats for sure. Do not go after 11:00pm on a weekend unless you're not worried about crazy strange people.

BIG fan. GOOD tacos. QUICK service. The boyfriend and I have ordered takeout from here 3 times....maybe more? I dunno, it all runs together. Anyway, we have never been disappointed! Even the language barrier is enjoyable- one time, we ordered a side of rice and got fries instead, haha- but they actually went well with the tacos. Another time, when we ordered steak tacos, we got a hunk of steak instead of the chopped up steak. It was just more concentrated awesome, is all. GO HERE. You will love it.

I rate this as as good as Mexican gets. Tacos al pastor were fabulous and guacamole was delicious. Doesn't look like much from outside but it was worth the trip! Nice people running it too !

Been here with friends and alone great food and fast service

Al Pastor tacos are the bomb! I was doing a taco crawl with my buddy and he knew about this place and wanted me to try. I had the carne asada taco and al pastor taco. The asada was delicious but it paled in comparison to the al pastor. The pork is sliced gyros style from a rotisserie onto a custom pan with a notch cut out just to conform to the grill. He then dumps it on the flattop to crisp up while the tortilla heats up. Topped with fine dice white onion and cilantro and you are in heaven.
