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.

I've been coming to Los for about 10 years now, and I love this Mexican restaurant, for reals! Their prices have gone up--but I guess that is to be expected, and the add-ons are a little pricey too, but that fact of the matter is that the menu is still reasonably priced, and you can get a lot of food for cheap and it's deeeeelicious. I think that their steak and chicken are my favorite meats that they offer. I love getting their guacamole as an appetizer. I usually stick with ordering tacos, however I've tried their carne asada, flautas, taco salad, and tortas. I've also been ordering their 'SOPES', which is found under their sides section, but it's definitely entree worthy because they're big and scrumptious. If you have never tried a sope, I suggest you try one immediately at Los. A sope is a thick tortilla slash gordita type slash tostada-y like corn dough that is obviously cooked to perfection and topped with refried beans, meat, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato. Trust me, it's really good!!!! Anyway, I get excited anytime suggests going to Los, and I'm probably gonna stop by in the next week or so. I come here like, a lot...

Crowded which is a good sign. Ordered a steak burrito w cheese. Crappy steak -even cut in tiny pieces it was unchewable All grizzle!!!! Had a big pile of grizzle on my plate when I was finished I must have ordered the wrong thing Usually a Mexican restaurant cooks up a bunch of pot roast and uses shredded beef

When you are in need of quick food when all other restaurants are closed, be it Christmas, Easter, 4th of July whatever, even if there was an earthquake this place will be open. I eat meat but i really love their veggie burrito. To be honest i haven't tried anything else cause i like their burritos so much. This place never sleeps and so is my taste for their burritos.
(4)Nick R.
This place is always great to go to with my brother and friends when we are hanging out late at night. This place ruined steak tacos for me where ever else I go. I will only order steak tacos here because they are not only great, but they are cheap as well. The prices here are very reasonable and their food is great. The only issues I have is that if you look at the pictures it shows you the restaurant all clean and shiny looking, but sadly it looks a little dirty and the tables are pretty sticky at times. Their seating arrangements also need to be a little better with the quality with their tables and chairs, but I like their service, their prices, and their food.
(3)Susan S.
Both my chicken and pork tacos were over cooked and crunched when I ate them and they were soft tacos! They dressed the tacos with s mound of wet lettuce, a small slice of tomato and some cheese. I forgot to order authentic. While I was eating they were washing the floors with bleach....yum

This review is going to be quick and delicious, just like my lunch at Los Burritos Tapatios! Love love love this place for some great Mexican food. The whole experience can be summed up like this "Get in, order, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, get out." Let me explain... The menu was very straight forward - your typical Mexican food options. I went with there taco plate which seemed to be a popular choice among fellow Yelpers. With a handful of filling options to choose from, I ended up going with one chicken taco and one beef. Of course. these tacs were accompanied by beans and rice, which were also introduced with a basket of chips and salsa (which had a perfect kick to it). My meal was delicious! I appreciated that the food tasted very authentic. You can always tell when Mexican food is either made right, or super americanized. The service was great - quick and efficient! No sooner did I sit down then my food was brought over to the table. And of course it was so delish that it was just as quickly devoured :) So like I said, it was a quick experience but one that's definitely noteworthy! I'd love to go back and enjoy their food again! Tip: Don't be fooled by their outside appearance. Yes, they are located next to a mechanic and it may not be the flashiest of places, but the food is on point!

I got a steak burrito. The steak was was both hard and chewy, like rubber. Wasnt impressed.
(2)Lisa S.
silly me, i thought i'd give this place one more chance. i had a steak chimichanga this time. the beef was very chewy, and fatty. i know skirt steak is a fatty cut, but all i could taste was fat. there was no seasoning. and the cheese inside was congealing and globby. bye bye los b's. i don't know how you have four stars.
(1)Valerie S.
So I order pickup always because this place is often packed. The food is always good, I love their horchatas. And they're way polite. They take orders over the phone. I think they're open till 3am on most days-- so convenient. In the heart of every town, there's that one Mexican restaurant that has good food and is open late at night. This is that for Glen Ellyn.

Hands down the best Mexican food in the DuPage county area, IMO. Everytime I eat here, I do a double-take. Am I really sitting in suburban Glen Ellyn right now? Inside Los Burritos Tapatios, you'd never know it. They have your standard items like tortas, tacos, burritos, etc. Of course, my usual is always the taco platter. Two al pastor tacos with onion and cilantro only, with beans and rice. If you choose to dine it, there are about four or five booths and quite a few tables to choose from. The booths are along the windows and are usually filled up first. They'll bring you chips and salsa to munch on before bringing your order. The salsa is one of my favorite parts about coming here. It's the perfect consistency; not too chunky and not too runny. You can taste every flavor in it, which is a plus. You don't experience an overwhelming tomato flavor, nor is the cilantro or onion overpowering, either. I could eat this stuff by the gallon. I've always been pleased with my food when I order here. The al pastor is so good. I have only found one (small) gristle piece of meat in all the times I've come here. Hey, it's bound to happen. The rice is perfect - no stupid chunks of corn, no weird flavors. Just. Plain. Rice. That's how it should be. The refried beans are quite tasty- if they come from a can, I certainly can't tell. Most of the staff working here are still the same people I can remember from many years ago. The employees are friendly and the food is delicious (and cheap!). If you stop by late at night, be prepared to deal with loud, intoxicated patrons. They usually don't bother me, as I'll just take my order to go and that's that. Problem solved. I've moved from the area, so I don't get to visit LBT as frequently as I'd like. When I do stop in though, it is quite a treat for both my tastebuds and my wallet. Long live Los Burritos Tapatios!

This is a nice little lunch joint that works on making the burrito perfect. Haven't had anything else but the steak burrito beans and rice. Not greasy, meet seems fresh right off the grill and their salsa is very good. Services average, and prices are average. There just isn't that one thing that makes a burrito joint a five-star place. Not bad though
(4)Kou H.
Awesome that they were opened late but the food was great! Chips and salsa were good, salsa was hot so that was a nice kick. Had the Bistec con Razas Plate, Chimichanga, Tacos, and and Al Pastor Torta with my party. Hit the spot for a late night hunger!
(4)Kendall R.
When I arrived it was packed and that explains why the service was sooo slow. When I got my food the rice tasted like something I could have gotten from a box of uncle bens. The salad was weak the beans were ok but the burrito I order didn't look the best but the meat was great it was actual pieces of chicken Brest and leg that was what I enjoyed
(3)Sara B.
Been a long time since I was here but it was so good I still remember biting into my burrito! IT was super tasty!. Every time we drive by here I think that we should stop and get a tasty treat!
(4)S B.
One of THE BEST places to get late night Mexican food. Just go down Roosevelt and you are sure to find this place full of hungry, soon to be happy & full patrons. The sides could be tastier, but their beef & chicken are perfect! I always leave happy...whether I've had a taco, a torta, or a burrito.
(4)Claudia C.
This place...Best not so hidden gem on Roosevelt Rd. Best tacos in the 5mile radius of Glen Ellyn. I say not so hidden because while some of my own circles never found it, it is packed for lunch and lines in the parking lot whenever I am driving home from my second shift job at 10:15 pm on a weeknight! We love the pastor tacos and they serve homemade salsa at your table while you wait for your quickly expedited and inexpensively priced meal. My husband is in the trades so we meet here often for a quick lunch date, never disappointed. Not really anything bad to say, but very reserved giving out 5 stars...lack of ambiance here maybe? Fast food atmosphere but clean. Throw a buck or two on the table for the very accommodating employees that are technically not "servers" yet clean up after patrons.
(4)MJ L.
The food is pretty good, however the service is poor. I work nearby so I come here periodically but over the last year, service has gotten worse. Not one employee greets customers who walk in and they never smile. Today, the lady who took my order just seemed like she wasn't happy to be there. She just abruptly took my order and nothing else was said. Service is usually a deal breaker for me so I don't know if I'll be returning. There are other places for good Mexican food.
(3)Patrick M.
Open LATE if your looking for some authentic Mexican cuisine. I believe it's 3 am if I'm not mistaken. Located right off Roosevelt Rd in Glen Ellyn . Service is speedy but employees aren't always the nicest. A little pricey but it's filling. Giant burritos, complimentary chips and salsa for dine - in only. Greasy good late night food. I can get rowdy on a weekend night when it's late and the bar crowd comes to eat. But you can b get your food to go. Green and red hot sauce is on point!
(3)JIm J.
I eat a lot of Mexican food. I have eaten here many times over the years as I grew up in Glen Ellyn (long before this place was around - I think it was the Italian U boat back then, but I regress). They have possibly the best burritos I have ever had. I highly recommend this place. Asada burrito and the carnitas burrito are awesome - very little beans and no rice. Great grilled meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese etc in a great grilled tortilla. Great chips and salsa. I'm jonesn' to head back to the Chicago burbs for another after our visit Sunday. We need a place like this in Minneapolis. BTW - Flips down the street is awesome for beefs and Gyros.
(5)Scotty T.
This was really our go-to late night place in college, since they're open until 2 am or so depending on the day. The food is alright and filling, and trends toward authentic. I recommend tacos over burritos overall, loaded up with cilantro and sour cream. The meat is just not incredibly flavorful. And the atmosphere is just overwhelmingly bright for my tastes. Bright yellow and fluorescent lights. It's part of the charm, sure, but it still makes it not a great place to chill 3 stars for authenticity, decent taste, and portion size.
(3)Alex H.
Had a GREAT FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE. I asked some coworkers of mine where's a GOOD close by Mexican food place, they recommended Los Barritos Tapatios in Glen Ellyn, so I headed over there. It was clean inside, the guy at the register was very nice and my order was placed right away, and the food when it was brought to my table looked great. Picture perfect. (If I had a pic) Friendly place. Thumbs up, guys!
(5)Christina A.
Good if you're drunk but by no means high quality Mexican food. One time they gave me a free tamale. The interior is kind of dingy and they always have tv's on in spanish. You can go somewhere better if you want good food, but for the price Los can't be beat.
(3)Gabe R.
May Los Burritos be with us forever. Where else can you go at 2am to appease your mexican food withdrawal from your last visit? I recommend choosing any one of the holy trinity of menu items: torta, burrito, or tacos. Don't worry about the chips, they'll bring it to you from the chip basket pyramid erected at the beginning of time. After your first few visits, you'll recognize the same guys working the place. The overly bright overhead lights and spanish soap opera playing in the background speak to the authenticity of the place. Your greatest ideas will be formed here. Call it "Los".
(5)Jason L.
Probable the best place in the western burbs to get Mexican food!! always tastes great and the prices are reasonable!
(5)Dan B.
Los Burritos Tapatios is a long standing Glen Ellyn institution. Sitting just slightly West of the corner of Roosevelt and Main street this eatery is open for breakfast and is open until 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM on weekends. The inside of the restaurant has a handful of tables and a few booths along the front wall/window. When you walk in there is a menu posted behind the counter and a wide array of dishes to choose from. I've been going here for at least the past 17 or so years and have tried almost every entree on the menu at some point. I recommend the Torta's and Burritos. If you're in the mood for breakfast the Huevos con Chrorizo is an excellent choice as well. While the way the food is prepared does change slightly depending on when you come in, the food is always good and always tasty. As a bonus, if you sit down and eat in the restaurant they free provide chips and salsa. Los Burritos Tapatios in Glen Ellyn is my favorite Mexican restaurant.
(5)M J.
Meh. Carne Asada tacos are too chewy. Al pastor are ok. Ground beef with potatoes are the best choice, but mine needed salt. The rice is fine, better than the beans. I'm guessing the four star average is due to nostalgia. Or liquor. Lots and lots of liquor.
(3)Phil K.
This is one of my top three late night hang outs. Usually good service and great food. Tonight tho the place is a disaster. Staff were standing around talking when we entered, only 2 customers in the place....looked like a tornado passed through. Every single table filthy, garbage all over the floor. We had to clean our own table...waitress was going to put our food down on dirty table, didn't even make an attempt to clean it for us.....very disappointed.
(1)Samson F.
What happened? this place used to be so good up until the past couple of years and one day things totally changed. the steak has tons of gristle, the pork has way too much fat, theyr flautas used to be amazing and now they look like frozen crap you buy at the grocery store. NO longer recommend this Los burritos, it used to be good ten at one point, but they switched owners and cheaped out. no bueno
(1)Emily L.
Probably THE best place to get a taco or anything Mexican. They treat you like family here. Definitely the best place for Mexican food.
(5)Gerard H.
Great food and a good value. The staff is hard working and very courteous. Also open late for dining!
(4)Adrienne J.
My boyfriend and I ordered chicken tacos and cheese enchiladas for the first time from this place, as we thought it would be fun to try a new Mexican place. I wish I could have a refund, the chicken is digusting, tasteless cubes. The sauce on the enchiladas is gross. Food is bland, we feel we have wasted our $24.00 and will not be returning.
(1)michael b.
Bland. i had the burrito. The beef tasted like grease, there was potatoes inside? And no seasoning. I had the steak tacos on a previous trip. Bland. The rice water is good. The place does have the look of a good Mexican place, but not the soul. Even the carrots were bland! How do you mess up vinegar and carrots? If this is the best Mexican in a 5 mile radius, this area really doesn't know what its missing. And who gave this only one $? $9.68 for a burrito and drink is definitely not cheap.
(2)David P.
I've been coming here for years, great cheap eats! The El Pastor Tacos are my favorite. I also like their steak burritos, they are generous with the steak and the other ingredients are always fresh. The taco salad is another good item, but it's not low calorie. It is a tortilla fried into a bowl, then served with lettuce, tomato, meat of your choice, beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole etc... It's a lot of food and taste great with their homemade salsa and hot sauce. Great late night place, open very late...
(5)Previn V.
One of the best burrito places I have ever been to! A friend recommended this place and I have been there a few more times since and I'm still impressed! Prices are fair and there are sometimes long lines to order but so worth the trip.
(5)Tommy P.
This is my go-to mexican restaurant for burritos and tacos whenever I am in the suburbs. The burritos are perfect, nothing fancy just a man and his burrito. Add chips, salsa and a coke...I'm hooked. I can't wait to go back! HIGHLY recommend this place if you like burritos.
(5)Juan K.
Very good food, good price and clean place
(5)Damian O.
If God made a burrito it would be sold here. Chicken burrito with chips and salsa for about ten bucks. Massive portion. Most delicious thing I've ever put in my mouth.
(5)Chris C.
Good first impressions.
(5)Steve D.
Wow! Best.Burrito.Ever. Wish I didn't live 90 minutes away. Small storefront with tables. Order at the register and they deliver your good to your table. Amazing. I had the pork burrito meal. Best ever! Ended up taking half home. My guest had the chicken burrito and he raved about it also. Quick, delicious and relatively inexpensive.
(5)Abe I.
YES. Definitely a great late-night munchies place. I love this location more than their Lombard location only because they serve the greatest burrito known to mankind; the Tex Mex ! I've asked the people over at the Lombard location to make me a Tex Mex even though it wasn't listed on their menu and it just wasn't the same as the Glen Ellyn location's. It's a $9 burrito but it is good enough for 2 hungry people. It comes with Spanish rice and beans on the side too which I love. The complimentary chips and salsa are delicious, and I love using the salsa as a dipping sauce for my burrito. Oh and also their horchata is superb ! Give this place a try :-)
(4)K S.
This is my Mexican restaurant. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. I've been eating here since high school. I ate here to console myself the day I got fired from the Caribou Coffee across the street and also the day my girlfriend at the time broke up with me. There are a lot of memories made at this place. The food is awesome. Probably not something you'd go out of your way for but it's wholesome, fairly priced and the portions are huge. The staff and the service is great. The last time I went there a few weeks ago - 18 years after I first went there - I saw some of the same friendly faces behind the counter that I saw on my first visit. You also see a lot of Mexicans eating here...and isn't that the ultimate endorsement of an ethnic restaurant?...when people of that ethnicity choose to eat there? You order at the cash register and either wait for pickup at the other end of the counter or sit down if you're eating in and they'll bring the food to your table. They also bus the dishes when you're done...it's not a full service restaurant but I've always left a couple of bucks for the server when I eat in.
(5)Pat E.
I have not been here since I was an undergrad, but I loved this place. The steak burrito suizo or chicken burrito suizo is a MUST order (I guess drunk if you must). I would take this over the big chains (Qdoba and Chipotle). They bring you chips and salsa (muy bien)...but I don't eat those really.
(5)Brian C.
This has always been my favorite Mexican restaurant. I went to high school down the street, and Los B's was always a popular meeting place, so it does have a nostalgic appeal for me. But the food is really good! The burrito suizo is a popular, tasty dish; who wouldn't want their burrito covered in melted cheese? By far my favorite menu item has always been the lengua tacos. Years ago, my friend convinced me to try the tongue tacos and I've been hooked ever since. I've tried lengua at several places since and I always compare it to Los B's. It's cooked right and cut right, very important. Los B's does not offer much comfort or ambience but that's not what you go their for. You go there because its easy to get there and you get good cheap Mexican quickly. Though the prices have gone up a bit over the years, it still remains a cheap meal. And the service is usually very prompt. I love this place. My friends love this place. Los B's will always have my business.
(5)Daniel W.
This is where my friends and I have been getting our late night fixes for the past 8 years!!! I have had the burritos, the quesadillas, tacos, tortes, fajitas, nachos and they are ALL delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The one thing I love about Los is that everything is made to order. The food tastes ultra fresh as it should. Fast and efficient service even when it's 3 or 4 AM. I will be seeing you guys this weekend!
(5)That One Girl V.
Yummmm...yumminess! So good! Authentic, and the waitress/ cashier/ bus girl is sooooo nice. She works super hard and always has a smile.
(5)Gianni P.
This place is great even during the day. Quality food for fast Mexican food. This is one of the best in the Chicagoland area next to TBK.
(5)Karl C.
Los Burritos is a clean place to grab a quick bite of authentic Mexican food. This dive gets so much business -- from white collar mopes and greasy blue collar workers at lunch to the obnoxious Wheaton College kids and the equally-loud drunk teenagers at night. It can be an eclectic bunch, which probably explains Los Burritos' need to include items like the authentically Mexican "french fries." The food is solid, albeit slightly overpriced when compared to true Mexican restaurants in neighboring towns. You're guaranteed fast, attentive service and complementary chips and salsa if you dine in. The place is also usually very clean. My favorite meal is a steak taco platter, which includes two tacos, rice and beans. I usually supplement this with one or two more Mexican-style tacos. All-in-all, it's an okay place to grab some Mexican food if you're in town. However, if you're willing to drive a bit further, there are better alternatives (that serve alcohol to sweeten the pot).
(3)Drew S.
Great Mexican food At a great price! I always get a steak burrito no beans sour cream My kids love the steak tacos. The place is great to eat in with good service and the beat salsa in town. Only downside is the place is a little dirty. There is noticeable dust on salt and pepper shakers. Will not stop me from going back!!
(4)Ron S.
I work nearby and have been to LBT over a dozen times and it's finally time for a review. It's too hard for me to pick just ONE favorite dish so I'll just offer three "can't miss" picks; al pastor tacos, steak burrito and carne asada tampiquena. Come to think of it, the taco platter is a pretty darn good pick. Awww, heck! There isn't just one or a few dishes I like at Los Burritos Tapatios, I like 'em ALL! Here's what I else I like: 1) They are very clean. 2) The service is great. Be sure to tip the server. She's always bustling about serving meals or bringing you a basket of chips & salsa. 3) Free chips & salsa! 4) Family friendly without turning the place into a damn Playland. Case in point: A father and his 4-5 year-old daughter enjoying a fajita plate. You could tell they were having a good time. In the past, I've seen Moms and Dads with kids and everyone is enjoying themselves without turning the restaurant into a zoo. Enough said. 5) They are efficient. Order your meal at the counter, sit down, enjoy your chips, soon your meal will arrive and you can be out of there in less than 30 minutes if you are on a tight schedule. Los Burritos Tapatios is great for families, a business lunch or a quick lunch with a friend or co-worker. Oh -- and the food is pretty darn good too.
(4)Nicole L.
The steak tacos are just are yummy as I remembered. They come on a corn tortilla with lettuce, tomato and cheese and I like adding the tasty salsa to them. The chips that come with the salsa aren't too greasy and have a perfect saltiness to them without being over-powering. The rice is great - simple without any veggies added but with a touch of spice. Finally, the guacamole is thick and has the right distribution of cilantro and onion with just a little tomato. I add some salt to it which makes it perfect. If this place was just a little closer to home it would be my #1 Mexican food stop. Visited: 10/21/12
(5)Joe R.
It is decent Mexican food, there is better and worse out there. The main draw it is the only place to get something to eat late night in the area. Just as a note it gets super busy around 11-12 with high school kids and around 2am when the bars close.
(3)Phong D.
It was great to see that this place hasn't changed since I was last there - 10 years ago! The service is fast and reliable. The food is authentic and affordable. The chips and salsa are free with dine-in orders. The salsa is homemade and my absolute favorite at Los Burritos. I ordered the beef tongue tacos for the first time and loved it. It was tender, had a strong beef flavor, and the texture reminded me of corned beef.
(4)Ruth F.
Fairly tasty Mexican food; if you're a vegetarian you're having a veggie enchilada, the veggie burrito, or a cheese quesadilla. The burrito is big enough to serve two (better not to know how many calories) and a little bland; try some of the salsa.
(3)Tara R.
Fast, fresh and delicious. I like a Mexican Restaurant that attracts the Mexican population too - you know it's good. Try anything there with a squeeze of lime.
(4)Steve W.
Great tacos. I usually get a few steak on soft corn with just cilantro & onions. (No salt) so simple and so delicious. The spicy shrimp soup is incredible and the tamales aren't bad either. The burritos are very popular but they're huge so unless I'm really famished, I stick with the tacos. Word to the wise, they get really busy late night with teenagers and the young post bar crowd. Long lines at these times are not uncommon. Food is worth the wait though.
(4)Wes W.
So it seems that not only are there different LBT's scattered every where, there are some that are better than others! This particular version of LBT is one of the better ones. Additionally, their setup makes it feel a tad bit cleaner too. I've recently been on a roll with their carne asada burrito with only onions and cilantro - the only things that matter. None of that other punk-b!tch stuff is necessary. Its pretty good and reminds me of back home. I suggest trying it! Also, I've noticed that though lengua is off the hook at almost any mexican joint, it's rather awesome at this LBT. Lengua anything! You are going to smile because that's what she said.
(4)Jeff S.
Best Mexican food out here. Mexican style tacos are the way to go.
(5)Shawn K.
Its just like the Burrito Express by my house except close to work. Good authenticate Mexican food!!
(4)Joanne W.
Whenever I have a hankering for tacos I make a quick run to LBT. This place is always bustling but the service is pretty speedy. This is a no frills type of place and that is just fine by me. The chips and salsa are pretty good. I've tried a tamale - it was OK and satisfied my craving. The al pastor tacos are so-so as are the beef....next time I'll probably go for the chicken. My favorite dish so far from this joint has been the caldo de camerones...that's shrimp soup for all you gringos out there. It's got some good spice to it and the shrimp were cooked just right. LBT is extremely affordable so it's a big hit with the teenagers...fair warning! They also package your to-go order very nicely and include all the fixins one might need which I really appreciate it. LBT is also open late so you can get that taco fix into the wee hours of the night if need be!

At this little taqueria, you place your order at the cash register, sit down, and within a few minutes a waitress brings your order out to you. The food comes out very quickly, so if you're in a hurry, it's no problem. It's impeccably clean - even by my high standards. They are open well past midnight every day, and the food is very flavorful, hot and delicisious. Suggestions.: 1. Order a ground beef taco!!! They are excellent! The chef mixes in with the ground beef little chuncks of potato and carrot. Very tasty! 2. Order the tacos al pastor (barbaque pork). You won't be disappointed. 3. They will serve the tacos Mexican style (cilantro and onion only) or American style (lettuce, tomato, and cheese). Just tell them your preference. 4. For an extra $0.25 they will add a couple slices of avacado to any taco. 5. If you dine in, the chips and salsa are free. The chips are a solid B+ (but not quite an A), but the salsa is awesome! A+++ Beware, it's a bit hot, but it doesn't have too much of a bite. 6. The steak used fof the steak tacos and burritos is your typical low quality skirt steak - tough and a bit grizzly. I'm not a fan of those, but it that's your thing, you won't be disappointed. 7. The prices are very resaonable, so it won't break the bank. 8. It's not a great place for a date night, but it's perfect if your'e with the family, friends, or just by yourself. Bon Appetit!

Nothing I can say will fully express the feeling of longing I have for Los B's right now. The burritos are a staple but nothing beats the balanced flavor combo of the wonderfully crafted taco. The perfect proportion of meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato on two white corn tortillas. As for the filling for your burrito or taco, the steak is a great starting point. You can't really go wrong. However, the secret meat, is pork. The pork is seasoned with a chili sauce is just perfect. I'm also a fan of the chips and salsa. The salsa is just spicy enough. One word of advice though. If you want more chips, ASK, DO NO TAKE MORE WITHOUT ASKING! I cannot stress this bit of advice enough. If you go up to the counter and take another basket, you will have the evil eye cast upon you. Los B's is not a good enemy to have. Also, leave a few dollars tip, they appreciate it and remember you. At night, the place is packed. It's a place to see and been seen in Glen Ellyn's limited social community. Good energy, It's a good place, believe me. Take this religious pilgrimage to Los after a night of drinking, you won't be disappointed.

chipotle/qdoba/baja fresh/el famous dont stack up to this place. Very good greasy mexican food. inexpensive as well. The reason why they are not a 5 star is not their fault, but the crowd here sometimes is obnoxious, high/drunk, and its annoying. Wish they could filter those out. If in the area, checkout los burritos tapatios, and try not to go to late at night.
(4)Jim W.
The best Mexican food in Glen Ellyn, hands down, and the service is fast. The dining room atmosphere could use help. Turn off the continuous soccer games and cheesy Spanish soap operas that no one watches, and replace it with some Mexican music and decor. The food would taste even better :)
(5)Ethan L.
Hmm.... not too bad~ delicious!!
(3)William W.
Three kinds of fresh salsas are what keep this satisfied customer coming back for more. If you dine in, you will get complimentary tortilla chips and a cup of their yummy mild salsa. If you request, you can get salsa verde which is their hot sauce. The third salsa is a bit thicker and a reddish brown in color and is especially good! The food is good and always fresh. The prices are reasonable. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy but clean. The employees have always been friendly. It can get cold in the dining area in the winter time. Sometimes the floor mat gets caught under the door and lets all the cold air in. BRRR! Besides that, I like this restaurant!
(4)Barnabas P.
The burritos are the best around and the late hours are great as well, especially considering the rest of town shuts down at 9.
(5)Matt N.
LOS!!!!!! I have been coming to this spot for years and although 99% of my visits come after the bars closed I have also come stone cold sober during the day to make sure the food wasn't only good drunk. Grilled Steak Torta with Rice Water is my go to meal and it never fails. You order from the counter but they bring the food to your table which is pretty sweet. And you get complimentary free chips and salsa. Nice place for a quick meal, and an even better cure for the late night munchies as they are open real late!
(5)Joe M.
Mucho amor por Los B's. First off let me say anyone who thinks Taco Bell is better than this place ought to have their mouth confiscated because clearly you aren't using it properly. Los Bs runs a quality restaurant with speed and deliciousness. The burritos are huge and not able to be tackled in one sitting unless you want to see that burrito again in the very near future. The chips and salsa aren't the best I've ever had but they do the trick. The true beauty of the place is the fact they close at like 4am and open again at 6am. I haven't had a bad meal from here and if you have to go and order in Spanish as part of a class homework assignment they will only laugh at you a little bit, they're very nice.
(4)Tracey B.
I eat here about twice a month--very close to home, open late, good food and nice, regular staff. This restaurant is very casual but they deliver food to your table with free chips/salsa. Be prepared for a lot of h.s. and college kids after 10pm. Big parking lot is a plus. I always eat their soft ground beef tacos with cilantro, cheese, and lime--I'm never disappointed.
(5)Gina B.
lol I don't know where there good reviews are coming from the steak tacos are chewy and gross there also so bland, nunless ur drunk as hell and have no where else to go do urself a favor and go elsewhere.....
(1)John D.
3 1/2 stars for me. My eating experiences have been positive as a whole. The burritos are actually good (better than most I've had) but as I ate it, I did notice something. The ingredients were all fresh & you can add onions at no additional cost (yes, I like onions in my burritos) but that wasn't my issue. I noticed that there was almost no beans in my burrito (normally, it's the opposite). I like a 60-80% meat to 20-40% beans and with things like fresh sour cream, onions, tomato, and lettuce, it make for a nice contradiction of texture. Add a little more beans. As for the meat, I stuck to the chicken burrito (just a preference). I think my issue with burritos is that I'm not a fan of chopped meat in a burrito. It did still taste decent but I'm more accustomed to pulled (but not shredded or chopped) chicken. If you want to step out a bit, get it with the melted cheese. Other bullet points: - decent tacos but not much meat. - chips & salsa are rock solid. Salsa & sauces do have some bite to them. - portions are very generous. - I'm a big fan of the enchiladas as well. - the staff are VERY NICE people. - not pretty but clean- just as what one would expect. It's worth a visit if you're close.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but if you don't think this place has great Mexican food, you either have weak taste buds, or are stopping in when you're drunk. I grew up in Chicago, going to great authentic Mexican places, both sit-down AND carry-out type places, and this place is equal or better than any of them. Not even in the same league as fast-food places like Taco Bell or Chipotle. After eating here, you'll realize that Chipotle is a chic gimmicky place that is not authentic (even if the employees are Mexican). This place makes their own chips, and salsa, and everything, which says a lot. And they don't put rice on their burritos, which also says a lot. When reading most of the other reviews, I found it hard to believe that we're talking about the same place, which is why I decided to leave this review. So if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, give this place a try and judge for yourself. I haven't found a better Mexican place in the western suburbs, at least not in the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area. My ONLY complaint would be that sometimes the mild salsa is on the hot side. But I've mentioned that to them, and it happens less often now. (I'm a white guy and even medium salsa burns my mouth.)
(5)Christina A.
My husband loves the steak burritos here. Me? I wasn't a huge fan until last night. I had 2 ground beef tacos (thanks to a previous reviewer here). Wow! They were yummy! Flavorful but not greasy. From now on, when my husband feels like a burrito, I'll know what to order.
(4)Trevor S.
A lifesaver if you are stranded late at night. All about the steak burrito. So bad for you, yet so good. Fast service.
(4)D W.
Quick attentive service, reasonably priced, great tasting authentic mexican food. Huevos a la mexicana is the best way to start any Saturday! I confess, I have them saved in my phone so I always call ahead and never have to wait in line...I can get rather busy at night so if you want to get it to go call'em (630) 942-9802 Muy Bien!
(4)Mo D.
I love this place! It may not rank high on the attractiveness scale (it's kinda dingy plastic and very...umm... yellow... inside, but I love it anyway, and here's why: a) It's open way past my bedtime, and as far as I know, past most of the bar closings in the Wheaton area (not saying much on either count, I guess, but whatever). As another reviewer mentioned, you can get food there even in a snowstorm! b) The burritos are roughly the size of my head. They taste awesome and you can get them stuffed with delicious things like guacamole. c) Speaking of delicious, if you're a weird foreigner like me (or just weird or just foreign), try the tongue / cilantro / onion tacos. Awesomely delicious. It's a tie between those and the tripe tacos served American style, in my book. I usually get three tacos: one tongue, one tripe, and then one steak for good measure. All are delicious. d) You are regaled by the background sounds of the lovely Mexican telenovelas or futbol playing on the tv in the corner. e) The chips and salsa are delicious, too. I think the fact that the place is dingy might lead some to think it is unsanitary, but I've been eating at Los Burritos Tapatios (and bringing friends there) for the past ten years, and never once have I had any stomach issues. The guy who seemingly owns the place is always very polite and prompt. Tip him well; he's always working there. Always. This place rivals the burrito places I visited while I went to NIU (Burrito Loco, etc). I'm so happy I found a suitable equivalent for my adult, non-college life!
(5)Cathy T.
My family comes here all the time! Our meal is always fresh and made exactly as we ordered it, even if we have special instructions. The food is usually excellent but there have been a few times when various menu items were less flavorful than we are used to. Aside from this very occasional inconsistency, I love this restaurant on days when I want a delicious dinner but don't have time to cook.
(4)Jay T.
This place is great. Unpretentious and delicious. Humble, dedicated service. Try everything! Great Salsa Too!
(4)Joseph H.
Los B's!!! I actually have been to the infamous Los B's in the last year. When did I arrive at this gem? After midnight of course! This is THE late night stop for the folks living in GE. When we were super bored and didn't have anything to do? Go to Los, eat, and linger in the parking lot for far too long because we had no where to go in suburbia. My go to? The torta...this mexican sandwich melts in your mouth and falls apart in your hands (as it should). If you're ever craving food late in the evening around Glen Ellyn, IL (not likely for most folks over 21), then hit this spot. I truly do miss it.
(5)Matt W.
The Plus + *Open till 2 am *Burritoes much more authentic, filling than chipotle *Fresh salso *spicy! *Usual choices tacos, tortas, burritoes, flauntas, also mexican ethnics like tongue *inexpensive *friendly service *big portions *chicken and steak is delicious! the times i went have never been dry. Constructive Critisicms *Guac is a little too watery for my taste *Salso also too watery, maybe my preference has always been chunky *too much beans in the burritos *i dont like the packaging, i know its to save money, but when i order tacos, they wrap two at a time in foil, which is not easy eating. *wheres the crunchy tacos? *quesadillas are flavorless (i think thats why they stuck them on the ala carte menu) Overall a pretty good alternative if you are in the area to Taco bell or mcdonalds for a late night snack. Lots of choices in their menus and a favorite for college students in the area.
(4)Coley P.
Been coming here for 7 years! After coming from the city these guys are the only burrito joint that can hold a candle to all of my favorites in the city. Great food, great service and always consistent!
(5)Ben B.
Mmmmmm... thank you Yelp, you just made me think of what I want for dinner. There is a 'los taps' right by my office in DG, and I stop at this one periodically on my way home. The wait staff is always courteous and prompt, and the Enchiladas with mole are pretty good! Other than that, I could eat a torta from here ANY time.
(4)Larry T.
The Best Steak Burritos around! Forget About It Chipotle, Baja Fresh, La Bamba... It's very inexpensive, great service and fast! My kids love it. We have to keep asking for more baskets of tortilla chips. The Tortilla Chip nazi is gone so it's a lot more fun! This place is almost as good as Taco Burrito Palace in my old stomping grounds, Lincoln Park (DePaul).
(4)Chris d.
I love good Mexican food. This place is pretty much the exact opposite of that. I got a burrito and it was so bad that I couldn't even finish it. Bland, flavorless garbage to say the least. Totally agree with others who said that the only reason people go to this place is because it's open all night. Taco Bell, as bad as they are, is a much better option than this crap.
(1)Shawn W.
I love this place sometimes if you have a craving at 1am you just need your "Los" fix as I call it, come alone or with your friends it doesn't matter, the staff and cooks are awesome and friendly always when I'm there or with friends, get your delicious food and I recommend the Horchata (rice water) it's soooooooooooo good. I suggest come with an open mind and try that among the other various food choices of deliciousness. Telemundo is on, so that's all good, have some friends with, get some yummy chips and salsa, great anytime day or night and in you're on a budget, most def a bang for your buck in my opinion. THANK YOU Muchas Gracias y Dios te Bendigas!
(5)Todd V.
This place is awesome. Their chorizo is nice and spicy and the portions are really nice sized. I would also recommend the carnitas as well. Whether it is 2am or 2pm, this place is always good choice
(5)Stephanie Q.
Great mole sauce on enchilada platter. They have great pork tacos. The food is good and cheap. There is no atmosphere but I would always come here for authentic Mexican versus a Taco Bell, chipotle, etc
(4)David M.
I can't say anything other than the fact that the speed, cleanliness and food quality are fantastic!!! Satisfied EVERY single time I go there. I am a big fresh avocado fan, NOT GUACAMOLE, and they are always very generous with it! :)
(5)Alex W.
I frickin love this place! Their food is always consistent and never disappoints. I usually get either their breaded steak Torta or any of the tacos and of course I always have to pick up some guac and chips:) I just wished they delivered. I'd order from them all the time!
(5)Jennifer B.
Much better than Santa Fe or First Street Cantina and about a third the price. If you want good Mexican food without fuss go here. Get the guac, it's awesome.
(4)Josh B.
Ah LBT, how I crave a giant steak burrito right now. I've been coming to LBT, the Westmont location specifically, for about 5 years now. Their burritos are loaded and flavorful, and only 6.50 or so for one. They give you two choices of hot sauce like most Mexican places give you, authentic or not, and I really recommend the green one over the red one. Has more flavor and a little heat. I've never had anything but the giant burrito, but a buddy of mine says the suizo, a burrito with melted cheese on top, is great. Another buddy says the nachos are good as well. LBT is not the place to go if you're looking for authenticity since it is Americanized, but it saved me lots of nights in high school after a little too much to drink. 5/5 *I find that their food is a lot tastier if you come at night. They're open late, until 2 am so it's great greasy food to sober you up. Try the horchata, it's pretty good.
(5)Scott A.
I have been to this restaurant many times and it is excellent. They have great Burrito's and Taco's. Also, the rice water is definately worth trying! They are open late so after a Bulls Game or Hawks Game its fun to stop in and grab some grub to go. Highly recommend it.
(5)Michael L.
Drunken burritos here in high school. Still my favorite burrito in the suburbs.
(4)Cassandra L.
I got a veggie burrito with guacamole - it was huge and tasted perfect! The chips and salsa were also great, and the guys I went with all seemed to enjoy their meals. I thought the salsa was perfectly spicy. My burrito was just really fresh tasting, with a generous amount of guacamole in it which was great. It was big enough that I could only eat half after all the chips and salsa I had, so I saved the rest for lunch the next day. $8 or so isn't bad for two meals :) I have to remember to get the horchata next time too because I tried my friend's and it was so good. I always think it's a good sign when a place seems pretty busy and has a diverse crowd, and Los Burritos Tapatios did. I'd definitely eat here again.
(4)Daniel U.
I used to eat here all the time when I was working in the area. I've had their steak torta, the flautas, and a beef burrito. I find their chips and salsa above average. I usually get their flautas. I find them to be an extremely satisfying Mexican restaurant. They're fast, friendly, and clean. I noticed that some have referenced their sanitation, and I personally can attest that their knowledge in food safety and sanitation is above average.
(4)Remy O.
"I probably have at least 20 stellar high school memories of eating at Los B's at almost every hour of the day. Los B's used the be the spot for all the cool kids coming back from drinking at Lake Ellyn and for all the hot girls on their way back Zero Gravity, and for all the stoners on their way back from their car for another Taco Special. There aren't many places you can get amazing mexican food in the Midwest, and on top of it, at 2:00 a.m. I remember when the price went up for a Taco Special, and how they apologized to the regulars like me who worked next door at the bank. They were never stingy with the guac and always brought you more salsa and piping hot chips when you ate-in. I remember when I found out that there was more than 1 Los B's, and became even more devoted to the one on Main and Roosevelt. And when I had to say goodbye and go off to college, I actually took a black & white picture of Los B's and gave a copy to my pals at the bank. Ahh Los B's... I will always remember you."
(4)Scott S.
I discovered tortas here. They are excellent.
(4)Chester R.
really good place...you can comapare it to this or that, whatever...the bottom line is that if you live around here, and like el famous....los burritos is better. the two biggest things i appreciated once i converted was that los burritos presents fresher tasting ingredients, and the food is less greasy. as for some of the comments about cleanliness, i never see any problems, that place is immaculate, where else does every cook have a crew cut and wear a paper hat?
(4)Sylvia D.
Great service,fresh food, great place for kids. The salsa verde and ague horchata are to die for!
(5)patrick s.
There is a reason this place is always crowded and it isn't because it's open until 4am. Try the pork and chicken tacos with the red and a little bit of hot green sauce, perfect meal.
(5)ArTal K.
Great quality for a fast burrito stop. My flautas were made with all white meat chicken and the guacamole was incredibly fresh! Tamale was a little salty, but delicious! Great fast dinner on the run!
(5)Zeldin Q.
Driving through and looking for something to eat and spotted this place nearly bursting at the seams with patrons. That has to be a good sign, right? But we found astonishingly bad Mexican food... slightly glorified Taco Bell, only in that the portions were generous, but equally bland and loveless. Yelper here from Los Angeles says stay away if you are looking for sabor. You will find salsa that tastes like Italian tomato juice and tendon-y/ cartilaginous/ underseasoned dark meat chicken. This is Mexican food for white people who think black pepper is spicy and exotic.
(2)Me Y.
I know a lot of people hang out here because they're open late, but that's the only reason why. This place is the most unsanitary, dirty restaurant I've seen in my life. The cashier obviously had dirty hands from handling my money (and who knows what else), when he decided to be the one to get my chips ready. He was digging in the metal bin of chips with his bare, dirty hands without washing them first or putting on gloves. If they're going to skip the most basic, important part of preparing food, who knows what else goes on there. Skip this place unless you never wash your hands either.
(1)Lindsay S.
where else can you get decent food at 3 am? this place. it's good, it's clean and it's fairly fast. The later (or should i say earlier?) you go, the drunker the crowd is.. that's my only complaint! Of course, you won't notice if you're one of 'em....!
(3)Diva S.
Good food...I love their steak tacos con cilantro y cebollas! Open really late too...I've seen their lights on at 3am on a Saturday. Their chips are not as good as before, but I'm over it. "Los" is perfect for all of my late-night cravings!
(4)Samuel S.
Open late and good food, the place is great. Not only that but when all other places are closed ( during a snow storm ) Los Burritos Tapatios is open. Regardless of who's open when, I prefer their burritos here to El Famous Burrito.
(4)Kendall R.
When I arrived it was packed and that explains why the service was sooo slow. When I got my food the rice tasted like something I could have gotten from a box of uncle bens. The salad was weak the beans were ok but the burrito I order didn't look the best but the meat was great it was actual pieces of chicken Brest and leg that was what I enjoyed
(3)Sara B.
Been a long time since I was here but it was so good I still remember biting into my burrito! IT was super tasty!. Every time we drive by here I think that we should stop and get a tasty treat!
(4)Claudia C.
This place...Best not so hidden gem on Roosevelt Rd. Best tacos in the 5mile radius of Glen Ellyn. I say not so hidden because while some of my own circles never found it, it is packed for lunch and lines in the parking lot whenever I am driving home from my second shift job at 10:15 pm on a weeknight! We love the pastor tacos and they serve homemade salsa at your table while you wait for your quickly expedited and inexpensively priced meal. My husband is in the trades so we meet here often for a quick lunch date, never disappointed. Not really anything bad to say, but very reserved giving out 5 stars...lack of ambiance here maybe? Fast food atmosphere but clean. Throw a buck or two on the table for the very accommodating employees that are technically not "servers" yet clean up after patrons.
(4)S B.
One of THE BEST places to get late night Mexican food. Just go down Roosevelt and you are sure to find this place full of hungry, soon to be happy & full patrons. The sides could be tastier, but their beef & chicken are perfect! I always leave happy...whether I've had a taco, a torta, or a burrito.
(4)MJ L.
The food is pretty good, however the service is poor. I work nearby so I come here periodically but over the last year, service has gotten worse. Not one employee greets customers who walk in and they never smile. Today, the lady who took my order just seemed like she wasn't happy to be there. She just abruptly took my order and nothing else was said. Service is usually a deal breaker for me so I don't know if I'll be returning. There are other places for good Mexican food.
(3)Patrick M.
Open LATE if your looking for some authentic Mexican cuisine. I believe it's 3 am if I'm not mistaken. Located right off Roosevelt Rd in Glen Ellyn . Service is speedy but employees aren't always the nicest. A little pricey but it's filling. Giant burritos, complimentary chips and salsa for dine - in only. Greasy good late night food. I can get rowdy on a weekend night when it's late and the bar crowd comes to eat. But you can b get your food to go. Green and red hot sauce is on point!
(3)JIm J.
I eat a lot of Mexican food. I have eaten here many times over the years as I grew up in Glen Ellyn (long before this place was around - I think it was the Italian U boat back then, but I regress). They have possibly the best burritos I have ever had. I highly recommend this place. Asada burrito and the carnitas burrito are awesome - very little beans and no rice. Great grilled meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese etc in a great grilled tortilla. Great chips and salsa. I'm jonesn' to head back to the Chicago burbs for another after our visit Sunday. We need a place like this in Minneapolis. BTW - Flips down the street is awesome for beefs and Gyros.
(5)Scotty T.
This was really our go-to late night place in college, since they're open until 2 am or so depending on the day. The food is alright and filling, and trends toward authentic. I recommend tacos over burritos overall, loaded up with cilantro and sour cream. The meat is just not incredibly flavorful. And the atmosphere is just overwhelmingly bright for my tastes. Bright yellow and fluorescent lights. It's part of the charm, sure, but it still makes it not a great place to chill 3 stars for authenticity, decent taste, and portion size.
(3)Alex H.
Had a GREAT FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE. I asked some coworkers of mine where's a GOOD close by Mexican food place, they recommended Los Barritos Tapatios in Glen Ellyn, so I headed over there. It was clean inside, the guy at the register was very nice and my order was placed right away, and the food when it was brought to my table looked great. Picture perfect. (If I had a pic) Friendly place. Thumbs up, guys!
(5)Christina A.
Good if you're drunk but by no means high quality Mexican food. One time they gave me a free tamale. The interior is kind of dingy and they always have tv's on in spanish. You can go somewhere better if you want good food, but for the price Los can't be beat.
(3)Gabe R.
May Los Burritos be with us forever. Where else can you go at 2am to appease your mexican food withdrawal from your last visit? I recommend choosing any one of the holy trinity of menu items: torta, burrito, or tacos. Don't worry about the chips, they'll bring it to you from the chip basket pyramid erected at the beginning of time. After your first few visits, you'll recognize the same guys working the place. The overly bright overhead lights and spanish soap opera playing in the background speak to the authenticity of the place. Your greatest ideas will be formed here. Call it "Los".
(5)Dan B.
Los Burritos Tapatios is a long standing Glen Ellyn institution. Sitting just slightly West of the corner of Roosevelt and Main street this eatery is open for breakfast and is open until 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM on weekends. The inside of the restaurant has a handful of tables and a few booths along the front wall/window. When you walk in there is a menu posted behind the counter and a wide array of dishes to choose from. I've been going here for at least the past 17 or so years and have tried almost every entree on the menu at some point. I recommend the Torta's and Burritos. If you're in the mood for breakfast the Huevos con Chrorizo is an excellent choice as well. While the way the food is prepared does change slightly depending on when you come in, the food is always good and always tasty. As a bonus, if you sit down and eat in the restaurant they free provide chips and salsa. Los Burritos Tapatios in Glen Ellyn is my favorite Mexican restaurant.
(5)Jason L.
Probable the best place in the western burbs to get Mexican food!! always tastes great and the prices are reasonable!
(5)M J.
Meh. Carne Asada tacos are too chewy. Al pastor are ok. Ground beef with potatoes are the best choice, but mine needed salt. The rice is fine, better than the beans. I'm guessing the four star average is due to nostalgia. Or liquor. Lots and lots of liquor.
(3)Phil K.
This is one of my top three late night hang outs. Usually good service and great food. Tonight tho the place is a disaster. Staff were standing around talking when we entered, only 2 customers in the place....looked like a tornado passed through. Every single table filthy, garbage all over the floor. We had to clean our own table...waitress was going to put our food down on dirty table, didn't even make an attempt to clean it for us.....very disappointed.
(1)Samson F.
What happened? this place used to be so good up until the past couple of years and one day things totally changed. the steak has tons of gristle, the pork has way too much fat, theyr flautas used to be amazing and now they look like frozen crap you buy at the grocery store. NO longer recommend this Los burritos, it used to be good ten at one point, but they switched owners and cheaped out. no bueno
(1)Emily L.
Probably THE best place to get a taco or anything Mexican. They treat you like family here. Definitely the best place for Mexican food.
(5)Gerard H.
Great food and a good value. The staff is hard working and very courteous. Also open late for dining!
(4)michael b.
Bland. i had the burrito. The beef tasted like grease, there was potatoes inside? And no seasoning. I had the steak tacos on a previous trip. Bland. The rice water is good. The place does have the look of a good Mexican place, but not the soul. Even the carrots were bland! How do you mess up vinegar and carrots? If this is the best Mexican in a 5 mile radius, this area really doesn't know what its missing. And who gave this only one $? $9.68 for a burrito and drink is definitely not cheap.
(2)Adrienne J.
My boyfriend and I ordered chicken tacos and cheese enchiladas for the first time from this place, as we thought it would be fun to try a new Mexican place. I wish I could have a refund, the chicken is digusting, tasteless cubes. The sauce on the enchiladas is gross. Food is bland, we feel we have wasted our $24.00 and will not be returning.
(1)David P.
I've been coming here for years, great cheap eats! The El Pastor Tacos are my favorite. I also like their steak burritos, they are generous with the steak and the other ingredients are always fresh. The taco salad is another good item, but it's not low calorie. It is a tortilla fried into a bowl, then served with lettuce, tomato, meat of your choice, beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole etc... It's a lot of food and taste great with their homemade salsa and hot sauce. Great late night place, open very late...
(5)Previn V.
One of the best burrito places I have ever been to! A friend recommended this place and I have been there a few more times since and I'm still impressed! Prices are fair and there are sometimes long lines to order but so worth the trip.
(5)Tommy P.
This is my go-to mexican restaurant for burritos and tacos whenever I am in the suburbs. The burritos are perfect, nothing fancy just a man and his burrito. Add chips, salsa and a coke...I'm hooked. I can't wait to go back! HIGHLY recommend this place if you like burritos.
(5)Juan K.
Very good food, good price and clean place
(5)Damian O.
If God made a burrito it would be sold here. Chicken burrito with chips and salsa for about ten bucks. Massive portion. Most delicious thing I've ever put in my mouth.
(5)Chris C.
Good first impressions.

I have not been here since I was an undergrad, but I loved this place. The steak burrito suizo or chicken burrito suizo is a MUST order (I guess drunk if you must). I would take this over the big chains (Qdoba and Chipotle). They bring you chips and salsa (muy bien)...but I don't eat those really.
(5)Steve D.
Wow! Best.Burrito.Ever. Wish I didn't live 90 minutes away. Small storefront with tables. Order at the register and they deliver your good to your table. Amazing. I had the pork burrito meal. Best ever! Ended up taking half home. My guest had the chicken burrito and he raved about it also. Quick, delicious and relatively inexpensive.

This is my Mexican restaurant. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. I've been eating here since high school. I ate here to console myself the day I got fired from the Caribou Coffee across the street and also the day my girlfriend at the time broke up with me. There are a lot of memories made at this place. The food is awesome. Probably not something you'd go out of your way for but it's wholesome, fairly priced and the portions are huge. The staff and the service is great. The last time I went there a few weeks ago - 18 years after I first went there - I saw some of the same friendly faces behind the counter that I saw on my first visit. You also see a lot of Mexicans eating here...and isn't that the ultimate endorsement of an ethnic restaurant?...when people of that ethnicity choose to eat there? You order at the cash register and either wait for pickup at the other end of the counter or sit down if you're eating in and they'll bring the food to your table. They also bus the dishes when you're done...it's not a full service restaurant but I've always left a couple of bucks for the server when I eat in.

This has always been my favorite Mexican restaurant. I went to high school down the street, and Los B's was always a popular meeting place, so it does have a nostalgic appeal for me. But the food is really good! The burrito suizo is a popular, tasty dish; who wouldn't want their burrito covered in melted cheese? By far my favorite menu item has always been the lengua tacos. Years ago, my friend convinced me to try the tongue tacos and I've been hooked ever since. I've tried lengua at several places since and I always compare it to Los B's. It's cooked right and cut right, very important. Los B's does not offer much comfort or ambience but that's not what you go their for. You go there because its easy to get there and you get good cheap Mexican quickly. Though the prices have gone up a bit over the years, it still remains a cheap meal. And the service is usually very prompt. I love this place. My friends love this place. Los B's will always have my business.
(5)Daniel W.
This is where my friends and I have been getting our late night fixes for the past 8 years!!! I have had the burritos, the quesadillas, tacos, tortes, fajitas, nachos and they are ALL delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The one thing I love about Los is that everything is made to order. The food tastes ultra fresh as it should. Fast and efficient service even when it's 3 or 4 AM. I will be seeing you guys this weekend!
(5)That One Girl V.
Yummmm...yumminess! So good! Authentic, and the waitress/ cashier/ bus girl is sooooo nice. She works super hard and always has a smile.
(5)Gianni P.
This place is great even during the day. Quality food for fast Mexican food. This is one of the best in the Chicagoland area next to TBK.
(5)Abe I.
YES. Definitely a great late-night munchies place. I love this location more than their Lombard location only because they serve the greatest burrito known to mankind; the Tex Mex ! I've asked the people over at the Lombard location to make me a Tex Mex even though it wasn't listed on their menu and it just wasn't the same as the Glen Ellyn location's. It's a $9 burrito but it is good enough for 2 hungry people. It comes with Spanish rice and beans on the side too which I love. The complimentary chips and salsa are delicious, and I love using the salsa as a dipping sauce for my burrito. Oh and also their horchata is superb ! Give this place a try :-)
(4)Joe R.
It is decent Mexican food, there is better and worse out there. The main draw it is the only place to get something to eat late night in the area. Just as a note it gets super busy around 11-12 with high school kids and around 2am when the bars close.
(3)Phong D.
It was great to see that this place hasn't changed since I was last there - 10 years ago! The service is fast and reliable. The food is authentic and affordable. The chips and salsa are free with dine-in orders. The salsa is homemade and my absolute favorite at Los Burritos. I ordered the beef tongue tacos for the first time and loved it. It was tender, had a strong beef flavor, and the texture reminded me of corned beef.
(4)Karl C.
Los Burritos is a clean place to grab a quick bite of authentic Mexican food. This dive gets so much business -- from white collar mopes and greasy blue collar workers at lunch to the obnoxious Wheaton College kids and the equally-loud drunk teenagers at night. It can be an eclectic bunch, which probably explains Los Burritos' need to include items like the authentically Mexican "french fries." The food is solid, albeit slightly overpriced when compared to true Mexican restaurants in neighboring towns. You're guaranteed fast, attentive service and complementary chips and salsa if you dine in. The place is also usually very clean. My favorite meal is a steak taco platter, which includes two tacos, rice and beans. I usually supplement this with one or two more Mexican-style tacos. All-in-all, it's an okay place to grab some Mexican food if you're in town. However, if you're willing to drive a bit further, there are better alternatives (that serve alcohol to sweeten the pot).
(3)Drew S.
Great Mexican food At a great price! I always get a steak burrito no beans sour cream My kids love the steak tacos. The place is great to eat in with good service and the beat salsa in town. Only downside is the place is a little dirty. There is noticeable dust on salt and pepper shakers. Will not stop me from going back!!
(4)Ron S.
I work nearby and have been to LBT over a dozen times and it's finally time for a review. It's too hard for me to pick just ONE favorite dish so I'll just offer three "can't miss" picks; al pastor tacos, steak burrito and carne asada tampiquena. Come to think of it, the taco platter is a pretty darn good pick. Awww, heck! There isn't just one or a few dishes I like at Los Burritos Tapatios, I like 'em ALL! Here's what I else I like: 1) They are very clean. 2) The service is great. Be sure to tip the server. She's always bustling about serving meals or bringing you a basket of chips & salsa. 3) Free chips & salsa! 4) Family friendly without turning the place into a damn Playland. Case in point: A father and his 4-5 year-old daughter enjoying a fajita plate. You could tell they were having a good time. In the past, I've seen Moms and Dads with kids and everyone is enjoying themselves without turning the restaurant into a zoo. Enough said. 5) They are efficient. Order your meal at the counter, sit down, enjoy your chips, soon your meal will arrive and you can be out of there in less than 30 minutes if you are on a tight schedule. Los Burritos Tapatios is great for families, a business lunch or a quick lunch with a friend or co-worker. Oh -- and the food is pretty darn good too.
(4)Nicole L.
The steak tacos are just are yummy as I remembered. They come on a corn tortilla with lettuce, tomato and cheese and I like adding the tasty salsa to them. The chips that come with the salsa aren't too greasy and have a perfect saltiness to them without being over-powering. The rice is great - simple without any veggies added but with a touch of spice. Finally, the guacamole is thick and has the right distribution of cilantro and onion with just a little tomato. I add some salt to it which makes it perfect. If this place was just a little closer to home it would be my #1 Mexican food stop. Visited: 10/21/12
(5)Ruth F.
Fairly tasty Mexican food; if you're a vegetarian you're having a veggie enchilada, the veggie burrito, or a cheese quesadilla. The burrito is big enough to serve two (better not to know how many calories) and a little bland; try some of the salsa.
(3)Tara R.
Fast, fresh and delicious. I like a Mexican Restaurant that attracts the Mexican population too - you know it's good. Try anything there with a squeeze of lime.
(4)Steve W.
Great tacos. I usually get a few steak on soft corn with just cilantro & onions. (No salt) so simple and so delicious. The spicy shrimp soup is incredible and the tamales aren't bad either. The burritos are very popular but they're huge so unless I'm really famished, I stick with the tacos. Word to the wise, they get really busy late night with teenagers and the young post bar crowd. Long lines at these times are not uncommon. Food is worth the wait though.
(4)Wes W.
So it seems that not only are there different LBT's scattered every where, there are some that are better than others! This particular version of LBT is one of the better ones. Additionally, their setup makes it feel a tad bit cleaner too. I've recently been on a roll with their carne asada burrito with only onions and cilantro - the only things that matter. None of that other punk-b!tch stuff is necessary. Its pretty good and reminds me of back home. I suggest trying it! Also, I've noticed that though lengua is off the hook at almost any mexican joint, it's rather awesome at this LBT. Lengua anything! You are going to smile because that's what she said.
(4)Jeff S.
Best Mexican food out here. Mexican style tacos are the way to go.
(5)Shawn K.
Its just like the Burrito Express by my house except close to work. Good authenticate Mexican food!!
(4)Joanne W.
Whenever I have a hankering for tacos I make a quick run to LBT. This place is always bustling but the service is pretty speedy. This is a no frills type of place and that is just fine by me. The chips and salsa are pretty good. I've tried a tamale - it was OK and satisfied my craving. The al pastor tacos are so-so as are the beef....next time I'll probably go for the chicken. My favorite dish so far from this joint has been the caldo de camerones...that's shrimp soup for all you gringos out there. It's got some good spice to it and the shrimp were cooked just right. LBT is extremely affordable so it's a big hit with the teenagers...fair warning! They also package your to-go order very nicely and include all the fixins one might need which I really appreciate it. LBT is also open late so you can get that taco fix into the wee hours of the night if need be!

At this little taqueria, you place your order at the cash register, sit down, and within a few minutes a waitress brings your order out to you. The food comes out very quickly, so if you're in a hurry, it's no problem. It's impeccably clean - even by my high standards. They are open well past midnight every day, and the food is very flavorful, hot and delicisious. Suggestions.: 1. Order a ground beef taco!!! They are excellent! The chef mixes in with the ground beef little chuncks of potato and carrot. Very tasty! 2. Order the tacos al pastor (barbaque pork). You won't be disappointed. 3. They will serve the tacos Mexican style (cilantro and onion only) or American style (lettuce, tomato, and cheese). Just tell them your preference. 4. For an extra $0.25 they will add a couple slices of avacado to any taco. 5. If you dine in, the chips and salsa are free. The chips are a solid B+ (but not quite an A), but the salsa is awesome! A+++ Beware, it's a bit hot, but it doesn't have too much of a bite. 6. The steak used fof the steak tacos and burritos is your typical low quality skirt steak - tough and a bit grizzly. I'm not a fan of those, but it that's your thing, you won't be disappointed. 7. The prices are very resaonable, so it won't break the bank. 8. It's not a great place for a date night, but it's perfect if your'e with the family, friends, or just by yourself. Bon Appetit!
(4)Nick A.
Nothing I can say will fully express the feeling of longing I have for Los B's right now. The burritos are a staple but nothing beats the balanced flavor combo of the wonderfully crafted taco. The perfect proportion of meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato on two white corn tortillas. As for the filling for your burrito or taco, the steak is a great starting point. You can't really go wrong. However, the secret meat, is pork. The pork is seasoned with a chili sauce is just perfect. I'm also a fan of the chips and salsa. The salsa is just spicy enough. One word of advice though. If you want more chips, ASK, DO NO TAKE MORE WITHOUT ASKING! I cannot stress this bit of advice enough. If you go up to the counter and take another basket, you will have the evil eye cast upon you. Los B's is not a good enemy to have. Also, leave a few dollars tip, they appreciate it and remember you. At night, the place is packed. It's a place to see and been seen in Glen Ellyn's limited social community. Good energy, It's a good place, believe me. Take this religious pilgrimage to Los after a night of drinking, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Joe E.
chipotle/qdoba/baja fresh/el famous dont stack up to this place. Very good greasy mexican food. inexpensive as well. The reason why they are not a 5 star is not their fault, but the crowd here sometimes is obnoxious, high/drunk, and its annoying. Wish they could filter those out. If in the area, checkout los burritos tapatios, and try not to go to late at night.
(4)Ethan L.
Hmm.... not too bad~ delicious!!
(3)Jim W.
The best Mexican food in Glen Ellyn, hands down, and the service is fast. The dining room atmosphere could use help. Turn off the continuous soccer games and cheesy Spanish soap operas that no one watches, and replace it with some Mexican music and decor. The food would taste even better :)
(5)William W.
Three kinds of fresh salsas are what keep this satisfied customer coming back for more. If you dine in, you will get complimentary tortilla chips and a cup of their yummy mild salsa. If you request, you can get salsa verde which is their hot sauce. The third salsa is a bit thicker and a reddish brown in color and is especially good! The food is good and always fresh. The prices are reasonable. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy but clean. The employees have always been friendly. It can get cold in the dining area in the winter time. Sometimes the floor mat gets caught under the door and lets all the cold air in. BRRR! Besides that, I like this restaurant!
(4)Barnabas P.
The burritos are the best around and the late hours are great as well, especially considering the rest of town shuts down at 9.
(5)Matt N.
LOS!!!!!! I have been coming to this spot for years and although 99% of my visits come after the bars closed I have also come stone cold sober during the day to make sure the food wasn't only good drunk. Grilled Steak Torta with Rice Water is my go to meal and it never fails. You order from the counter but they bring the food to your table which is pretty sweet. And you get complimentary free chips and salsa. Nice place for a quick meal, and an even better cure for the late night munchies as they are open real late!
(5)Joe M.
Mucho amor por Los B's. First off let me say anyone who thinks Taco Bell is better than this place ought to have their mouth confiscated because clearly you aren't using it properly. Los Bs runs a quality restaurant with speed and deliciousness. The burritos are huge and not able to be tackled in one sitting unless you want to see that burrito again in the very near future. The chips and salsa aren't the best I've ever had but they do the trick. The true beauty of the place is the fact they close at like 4am and open again at 6am. I haven't had a bad meal from here and if you have to go and order in Spanish as part of a class homework assignment they will only laugh at you a little bit, they're very nice.
(4)Tracey B.
I eat here about twice a month--very close to home, open late, good food and nice, regular staff. This restaurant is very casual but they deliver food to your table with free chips/salsa. Be prepared for a lot of h.s. and college kids after 10pm. Big parking lot is a plus. I always eat their soft ground beef tacos with cilantro, cheese, and lime--I'm never disappointed.
(5)Gina B.
lol I don't know where there good reviews are coming from the steak tacos are chewy and gross there also so bland, nunless ur drunk as hell and have no where else to go do urself a favor and go elsewhere.....
(1)Bob A.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but if you don't think this place has great Mexican food, you either have weak taste buds, or are stopping in when you're drunk. I grew up in Chicago, going to great authentic Mexican places, both sit-down AND carry-out type places, and this place is equal or better than any of them. Not even in the same league as fast-food places like Taco Bell or Chipotle. After eating here, you'll realize that Chipotle is a chic gimmicky place that is not authentic (even if the employees are Mexican). This place makes their own chips, and salsa, and everything, which says a lot. And they don't put rice on their burritos, which also says a lot. When reading most of the other reviews, I found it hard to believe that we're talking about the same place, which is why I decided to leave this review. So if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, give this place a try and judge for yourself. I haven't found a better Mexican place in the western suburbs, at least not in the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area. My ONLY complaint would be that sometimes the mild salsa is on the hot side. But I've mentioned that to them, and it happens less often now. (I'm a white guy and even medium salsa burns my mouth.)
(5)John D.
3 1/2 stars for me. My eating experiences have been positive as a whole. The burritos are actually good (better than most I've had) but as I ate it, I did notice something. The ingredients were all fresh & you can add onions at no additional cost (yes, I like onions in my burritos) but that wasn't my issue. I noticed that there was almost no beans in my burrito (normally, it's the opposite). I like a 60-80% meat to 20-40% beans and with things like fresh sour cream, onions, tomato, and lettuce, it make for a nice contradiction of texture. Add a little more beans. As for the meat, I stuck to the chicken burrito (just a preference). I think my issue with burritos is that I'm not a fan of chopped meat in a burrito. It did still taste decent but I'm more accustomed to pulled (but not shredded or chopped) chicken. If you want to step out a bit, get it with the melted cheese. Other bullet points: - decent tacos but not much meat. - chips & salsa are rock solid. Salsa & sauces do have some bite to them. - portions are very generous. - I'm a big fan of the enchiladas as well. - the staff are VERY NICE people. - not pretty but clean- just as what one would expect. It's worth a visit if you're close.
(3)Christina A.
My husband loves the steak burritos here. Me? I wasn't a huge fan until last night. I had 2 ground beef tacos (thanks to a previous reviewer here). Wow! They were yummy! Flavorful but not greasy. From now on, when my husband feels like a burrito, I'll know what to order.
(4)Trevor S.
A lifesaver if you are stranded late at night. All about the steak burrito. So bad for you, yet so good. Fast service.
(4)D W.
Quick attentive service, reasonably priced, great tasting authentic mexican food. Huevos a la mexicana is the best way to start any Saturday! I confess, I have them saved in my phone so I always call ahead and never have to wait in line...I can get rather busy at night so if you want to get it to go call'em (630) 942-9802 Muy Bien!
(4)Mo D.
I love this place! It may not rank high on the attractiveness scale (it's kinda dingy plastic and very...umm... yellow... inside, but I love it anyway, and here's why: a) It's open way past my bedtime, and as far as I know, past most of the bar closings in the Wheaton area (not saying much on either count, I guess, but whatever). As another reviewer mentioned, you can get food there even in a snowstorm! b) The burritos are roughly the size of my head. They taste awesome and you can get them stuffed with delicious things like guacamole. c) Speaking of delicious, if you're a weird foreigner like me (or just weird or just foreign), try the tongue / cilantro / onion tacos. Awesomely delicious. It's a tie between those and the tripe tacos served American style, in my book. I usually get three tacos: one tongue, one tripe, and then one steak for good measure. All are delicious. d) You are regaled by the background sounds of the lovely Mexican telenovelas or futbol playing on the tv in the corner. e) The chips and salsa are delicious, too. I think the fact that the place is dingy might lead some to think it is unsanitary, but I've been eating at Los Burritos Tapatios (and bringing friends there) for the past ten years, and never once have I had any stomach issues. The guy who seemingly owns the place is always very polite and prompt. Tip him well; he's always working there. Always. This place rivals the burrito places I visited while I went to NIU (Burrito Loco, etc). I'm so happy I found a suitable equivalent for my adult, non-college life!
(5)Cathy T.
My family comes here all the time! Our meal is always fresh and made exactly as we ordered it, even if we have special instructions. The food is usually excellent but there have been a few times when various menu items were less flavorful than we are used to. Aside from this very occasional inconsistency, I love this restaurant on days when I want a delicious dinner but don't have time to cook.
(4)Jay T.
This place is great. Unpretentious and delicious. Humble, dedicated service. Try everything! Great Salsa Too!
(4)Matt W.
The Plus + *Open till 2 am *Burritoes much more authentic, filling than chipotle *Fresh salso *spicy! *Usual choices tacos, tortas, burritoes, flauntas, also mexican ethnics like tongue *inexpensive *friendly service *big portions *chicken and steak is delicious! the times i went have never been dry. Constructive Critisicms *Guac is a little too watery for my taste *Salso also too watery, maybe my preference has always been chunky *too much beans in the burritos *i dont like the packaging, i know its to save money, but when i order tacos, they wrap two at a time in foil, which is not easy eating. *wheres the crunchy tacos? *quesadillas are flavorless (i think thats why they stuck them on the ala carte menu) Overall a pretty good alternative if you are in the area to Taco bell or mcdonalds for a late night snack. Lots of choices in their menus and a favorite for college students in the area.
(4)Ben B.
Mmmmmm... thank you Yelp, you just made me think of what I want for dinner. There is a 'los taps' right by my office in DG, and I stop at this one periodically on my way home. The wait staff is always courteous and prompt, and the Enchiladas with mole are pretty good! Other than that, I could eat a torta from here ANY time.
(4)Coley P.
Been coming here for 7 years! After coming from the city these guys are the only burrito joint that can hold a candle to all of my favorites in the city. Great food, great service and always consistent!
(5)Larry T.
The Best Steak Burritos around! Forget About It Chipotle, Baja Fresh, La Bamba... It's very inexpensive, great service and fast! My kids love it. We have to keep asking for more baskets of tortilla chips. The Tortilla Chip nazi is gone so it's a lot more fun! This place is almost as good as Taco Burrito Palace in my old stomping grounds, Lincoln Park (DePaul).
(4)Chris d.
I love good Mexican food. This place is pretty much the exact opposite of that. I got a burrito and it was so bad that I couldn't even finish it. Bland, flavorless garbage to say the least. Totally agree with others who said that the only reason people go to this place is because it's open all night. Taco Bell, as bad as they are, is a much better option than this crap.
(1)Todd V.
This place is awesome. Their chorizo is nice and spicy and the portions are really nice sized. I would also recommend the carnitas as well. Whether it is 2am or 2pm, this place is always good choice
(5)Shawn W.
I love this place sometimes if you have a craving at 1am you just need your "Los" fix as I call it, come alone or with your friends it doesn't matter, the staff and cooks are awesome and friendly always when I'm there or with friends, get your delicious food and I recommend the Horchata (rice water) it's soooooooooooo good. I suggest come with an open mind and try that among the other various food choices of deliciousness. Telemundo is on, so that's all good, have some friends with, get some yummy chips and salsa, great anytime day or night and in you're on a budget, most def a bang for your buck in my opinion. THANK YOU Muchas Gracias y Dios te Bendigas!
(5)Joseph H.
Los B's!!! I actually have been to the infamous Los B's in the last year. When did I arrive at this gem? After midnight of course! This is THE late night stop for the folks living in GE. When we were super bored and didn't have anything to do? Go to Los, eat, and linger in the parking lot for far too long because we had no where to go in suburbia. My go to? The torta...this mexican sandwich melts in your mouth and falls apart in your hands (as it should). If you're ever craving food late in the evening around Glen Ellyn, IL (not likely for most folks over 21), then hit this spot. I truly do miss it.
(5)Stephanie Q.
Great mole sauce on enchilada platter. They have great pork tacos. The food is good and cheap. There is no atmosphere but I would always come here for authentic Mexican versus a Taco Bell, chipotle, etc
(4)David M.
I can't say anything other than the fact that the speed, cleanliness and food quality are fantastic!!! Satisfied EVERY single time I go there. I am a big fresh avocado fan, NOT GUACAMOLE, and they are always very generous with it! :)
(5)Alex W.
I frickin love this place! Their food is always consistent and never disappoints. I usually get either their breaded steak Torta or any of the tacos and of course I always have to pick up some guac and chips:) I just wished they delivered. I'd order from them all the time!
(5)Jennifer B.
Much better than Santa Fe or First Street Cantina and about a third the price. If you want good Mexican food without fuss go here. Get the guac, it's awesome.
(4)Josh B.
Ah LBT, how I crave a giant steak burrito right now. I've been coming to LBT, the Westmont location specifically, for about 5 years now. Their burritos are loaded and flavorful, and only 6.50 or so for one. They give you two choices of hot sauce like most Mexican places give you, authentic or not, and I really recommend the green one over the red one. Has more flavor and a little heat. I've never had anything but the giant burrito, but a buddy of mine says the suizo, a burrito with melted cheese on top, is great. Another buddy says the nachos are good as well. LBT is not the place to go if you're looking for authenticity since it is Americanized, but it saved me lots of nights in high school after a little too much to drink. 5/5 *I find that their food is a lot tastier if you come at night. They're open late, until 2 am so it's great greasy food to sober you up. Try the horchata, it's pretty good.
(5)Scott A.
I have been to this restaurant many times and it is excellent. They have great Burrito's and Taco's. Also, the rice water is definately worth trying! They are open late so after a Bulls Game or Hawks Game its fun to stop in and grab some grub to go. Highly recommend it.
(5)Michael L.
Drunken burritos here in high school. Still my favorite burrito in the suburbs.
(4)Cassandra L.
I got a veggie burrito with guacamole - it was huge and tasted perfect! The chips and salsa were also great, and the guys I went with all seemed to enjoy their meals. I thought the salsa was perfectly spicy. My burrito was just really fresh tasting, with a generous amount of guacamole in it which was great. It was big enough that I could only eat half after all the chips and salsa I had, so I saved the rest for lunch the next day. $8 or so isn't bad for two meals :) I have to remember to get the horchata next time too because I tried my friend's and it was so good. I always think it's a good sign when a place seems pretty busy and has a diverse crowd, and Los Burritos Tapatios did. I'd definitely eat here again.
(4)Daniel U.
I used to eat here all the time when I was working in the area. I've had their steak torta, the flautas, and a beef burrito. I find their chips and salsa above average. I usually get their flautas. I find them to be an extremely satisfying Mexican restaurant. They're fast, friendly, and clean. I noticed that some have referenced their sanitation, and I personally can attest that their knowledge in food safety and sanitation is above average.
(4)Remy O.
"I probably have at least 20 stellar high school memories of eating at Los B's at almost every hour of the day. Los B's used the be the spot for all the cool kids coming back from drinking at Lake Ellyn and for all the hot girls on their way back Zero Gravity, and for all the stoners on their way back from their car for another Taco Special. There aren't many places you can get amazing mexican food in the Midwest, and on top of it, at 2:00 a.m. I remember when the price went up for a Taco Special, and how they apologized to the regulars like me who worked next door at the bank. They were never stingy with the guac and always brought you more salsa and piping hot chips when you ate-in. I remember when I found out that there was more than 1 Los B's, and became even more devoted to the one on Main and Roosevelt. And when I had to say goodbye and go off to college, I actually took a black & white picture of Los B's and gave a copy to my pals at the bank. Ahh Los B's... I will always remember you."
(4)Scott S.
I discovered tortas here. They are excellent.
(4)Chester R.
really good place...you can comapare it to this or that, whatever...the bottom line is that if you live around here, and like el famous....los burritos is better. the two biggest things i appreciated once i converted was that los burritos presents fresher tasting ingredients, and the food is less greasy. as for some of the comments about cleanliness, i never see any problems, that place is immaculate, where else does every cook have a crew cut and wear a paper hat?
(4)Sylvia D.
Great service,fresh food, great place for kids. The salsa verde and ague horchata are to die for!
(5)patrick s.
There is a reason this place is always crowded and it isn't because it's open until 4am. Try the pork and chicken tacos with the red and a little bit of hot green sauce, perfect meal.
(5)ArTal K.
Great quality for a fast burrito stop. My flautas were made with all white meat chicken and the guacamole was incredibly fresh! Tamale was a little salty, but delicious! Great fast dinner on the run!
(5)Zeldin Q.
Driving through and looking for something to eat and spotted this place nearly bursting at the seams with patrons. That has to be a good sign, right? But we found astonishingly bad Mexican food... slightly glorified Taco Bell, only in that the portions were generous, but equally bland and loveless. Yelper here from Los Angeles says stay away if you are looking for sabor. You will find salsa that tastes like Italian tomato juice and tendon-y/ cartilaginous/ underseasoned dark meat chicken. This is Mexican food for white people who think black pepper is spicy and exotic.

I know a lot of people hang out here because they're open late, but that's the only reason why. This place is the most unsanitary, dirty restaurant I've seen in my life. The cashier obviously had dirty hands from handling my money (and who knows what else), when he decided to be the one to get my chips ready. He was digging in the metal bin of chips with his bare, dirty hands without washing them first or putting on gloves. If they're going to skip the most basic, important part of preparing food, who knows what else goes on there. Skip this place unless you never wash your hands either.

where else can you get decent food at 3 am? this place. it's good, it's clean and it's fairly fast. The later (or should i say earlier?) you go, the drunker the crowd is.. that's my only complaint! Of course, you won't notice if you're one of 'em....!

Good food...I love their steak tacos con cilantro y cebollas! Open really late too...I've seen their lights on at 3am on a Saturday. Their chips are not as good as before, but I'm over it. "Los" is perfect for all of my late-night cravings!

Open late and good food, the place is great. Not only that but when all other places are closed ( during a snow storm ) Los Burritos Tapatios is open. Regardless of who's open when, I prefer their burritos here to El Famous Burrito.

I've been coming to Los for about 10 years now, and I love this Mexican restaurant, for reals! Their prices have gone up--but I guess that is to be expected, and the add-ons are a little pricey too, but that fact of the matter is that the menu is still reasonably priced, and you can get a lot of food for cheap and it's deeeeelicious. I think that their steak and chicken are my favorite meats that they offer. I love getting their guacamole as an appetizer. I usually stick with ordering tacos, however I've tried their carne asada, flautas, taco salad, and tortas. I've also been ordering their 'SOPES', which is found under their sides section, but it's definitely entree worthy because they're big and scrumptious. If you have never tried a sope, I suggest you try one immediately at Los. A sope is a thick tortilla slash gordita type slash tostada-y like corn dough that is obviously cooked to perfection and topped with refried beans, meat, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato. Trust me, it's really good!!!! Anyway, I get excited anytime suggests going to Los, and I'm probably gonna stop by in the next week or so. I come here like, a lot...

Crowded which is a good sign. Ordered a steak burrito w cheese. Crappy steak -even cut in tiny pieces it was unchewable All grizzle!!!! Had a big pile of grizzle on my plate when I was finished I must have ordered the wrong thing Usually a Mexican restaurant cooks up a bunch of pot roast and uses shredded beef

When you are in need of quick food when all other restaurants are closed, be it Christmas, Easter, 4th of July whatever, even if there was an earthquake this place will be open. I eat meat but i really love their veggie burrito. To be honest i haven't tried anything else cause i like their burritos so much. This place never sleeps and so is my taste for their burritos.

Both my chicken and pork tacos were over cooked and crunched when I ate them and they were soft tacos! They dressed the tacos with s mound of wet lettuce, a small slice of tomato and some cheese. I forgot to order authentic. While I was eating they were washing the floors with bleach....yum

This review is going to be quick and delicious, just like my lunch at Los Burritos Tapatios! Love love love this place for some great Mexican food. The whole experience can be summed up like this "Get in, order, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, get out." Let me explain... The menu was very straight forward - your typical Mexican food options. I went with there taco plate which seemed to be a popular choice among fellow Yelpers. With a handful of filling options to choose from, I ended up going with one chicken taco and one beef. Of course. these tacs were accompanied by beans and rice, which were also introduced with a basket of chips and salsa (which had a perfect kick to it). My meal was delicious! I appreciated that the food tasted very authentic. You can always tell when Mexican food is either made right, or super americanized. The service was great - quick and efficient! No sooner did I sit down then my food was brought over to the table. And of course it was so delish that it was just as quickly devoured :) So like I said, it was a quick experience but one that's definitely noteworthy! I'd love to go back and enjoy their food again! Tip: Don't be fooled by their outside appearance. Yes, they are located next to a mechanic and it may not be the flashiest of places, but the food is on point!

I got a steak burrito. The steak was was both hard and chewy, like rubber. Wasnt impressed.
(2)Lisa S.
silly me, i thought i'd give this place one more chance. i had a steak chimichanga this time. the beef was very chewy, and fatty. i know skirt steak is a fatty cut, but all i could taste was fat. there was no seasoning. and the cheese inside was congealing and globby. bye bye los b's. i don't know how you have four stars.

So I order pickup always because this place is often packed. The food is always good, I love their horchatas. And they're way polite. They take orders over the phone. I think they're open till 3am on most days-- so convenient. In the heart of every town, there's that one Mexican restaurant that has good food and is open late at night. This is that for Glen Ellyn.

Hands down the best Mexican food in the DuPage county area, IMO. Everytime I eat here, I do a double-take. Am I really sitting in suburban Glen Ellyn right now? Inside Los Burritos Tapatios, you'd never know it. They have your standard items like tortas, tacos, burritos, etc. Of course, my usual is always the taco platter. Two al pastor tacos with onion and cilantro only, with beans and rice. If you choose to dine it, there are about four or five booths and quite a few tables to choose from. The booths are along the windows and are usually filled up first. They'll bring you chips and salsa to munch on before bringing your order. The salsa is one of my favorite parts about coming here. It's the perfect consistency; not too chunky and not too runny. You can taste every flavor in it, which is a plus. You don't experience an overwhelming tomato flavor, nor is the cilantro or onion overpowering, either. I could eat this stuff by the gallon. I've always been pleased with my food when I order here. The al pastor is so good. I have only found one (small) gristle piece of meat in all the times I've come here. Hey, it's bound to happen. The rice is perfect - no stupid chunks of corn, no weird flavors. Just. Plain. Rice. That's how it should be. The refried beans are quite tasty- if they come from a can, I certainly can't tell. Most of the staff working here are still the same people I can remember from many years ago. The employees are friendly and the food is delicious (and cheap!). If you stop by late at night, be prepared to deal with loud, intoxicated patrons. They usually don't bother me, as I'll just take my order to go and that's that. Problem solved. I've moved from the area, so I don't get to visit LBT as frequently as I'd like. When I do stop in though, it is quite a treat for both my tastebuds and my wallet. Long live Los Burritos Tapatios!

Awesome that they were opened late but the food was great! Chips and salsa were good, salsa was hot so that was a nice kick. Had the Bistec con Razas Plate, Chimichanga, Tacos, and and Al Pastor Torta with my party. Hit the spot for a late night hunger!

This is a nice little lunch joint that works on making the burrito perfect. Haven't had anything else but the steak burrito beans and rice. Not greasy, meet seems fresh right off the grill and their salsa is very good. Services average, and prices are average. There just isn't that one thing that makes a burrito joint a five-star place. Not bad though
