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.

Was referred here by a DuPage County rep for catering a party for 50-100. Stopped by at 9:15 p.m. on Sunday to pick up the menu for the planning meeting. Restaurant closes (allegedly) at 10, so no problem, right? Wrong!!!! The door was locked and the 6 people inside ( 2 in kitchen, 1 at register, 3 at table) pretended that they didn't see me, even though I knocked on the window and they looked at me. I called the number listed on the door twice and the woman who answered told me to go to the restaurant for a menu. How ironic! Eventually 3 young men who were walking by tried to help me by yelling and banging on the door. A little boy inside, probably 6 years old, got up and tried to figure out what we wanted. The adults continued to pretend we (now 4 of us) were invisible. The little boy gave the menu to an adult woman who came to the door and said they were closed. When I explained that I just wanted the menu and what I was planning for, she said they close at 9 now and just hadn't had time to change the sign on the door, window, nor menu!!! I told her it would have been nice if any one of them had been courteous enough to just slide a menu under the door, she said they aren't allowed to open the door once they close. Funny how she opened it once the other young men got involved. What a rude and inconvenient experience...definitely looking for a more community focused business for the event...at minimum someone who advertises correctly and is professional.

This place has average food. Nothing special. I would come here for lunch time but try not to. The food has little flavor and don't try their salsa. You might as well put water on your food because it is so deluded that it loses all the flavor. Only reason I would come here is because there isn't any other Mexican food place around. The staff is great and freindly. The restaurant is small but they make it work.

This place is good. I have eaten here quite a few times.. Tried everything from burritos to tacos to enchiladas.. More coming.. I do recommend eating there vs. bringing home the food is 100% eating there from the hot sauce to everything.. Good service, nice people... I do recommend to anybody in area.
(4)Sandy M.
For a fast food place, this location has good quality food. It has seating for about 30 people but most of their business is carry out. The staff is always friendly and polite. If you order Chips and Salsa to go they provide a huge serving. My family favorites are their Burritos Suizos, tacos and Orchata.
(4)Yoshio A.
I had the giant burrito with chicken. The flavor was pretty good but a little bland. Since we ate in, we had chips and salsa. The salsa was really spicy which was good. I had a fountain drink lemonade which was ok. There were a few booths and a few tables and they had TVs. The TVs had a talk show and the volume was kind of loud. The prices seemed on point. The giant burrito was $6.99 and a good amount of food. The menu had breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Overall, an average place that I would go to again.
(3)Andy M.
The usual strip mall suburban small Mexican eatery. Four stars for having a soda fountain and not just cans. The place is small and the menu s not as large and confusing as some places. The burritos I had were excellent as the various meats all were pretty good although prices seem high.
(4)Kaye D.
Among my favorites are the baby burrito and the tacos and I like the "green and red sauce bottles". They add a nice kick to whatever my meal is. The portions are generous, which is why I can only sustain a baby burrito versus of the big burrito. The interior probably could use a little face lift. A few of the booths have cracks in them and whatnot. There are 2 TVs in the restaurant, which facing opposite directions. If you really did want to watch something on the TV there, both sides would be able to do so without one person having to strain their neck. Absolutely one of my favorites when I'm in the mood to have mexican food especially if I'm awake and have 1-2AM food cravings. They stay open pretty late.
(5)Anney G.
Your basic late-night Mexican-American burrito joint, but this is my favorite one in the Chicagoland area.
(5)Julia B.
The tortas here are quite fantastico indeed! Definitely my favorite dish here they come with your choice of meat and all the usual torta dressings, including some delicious chihuahua cheese. I've also tried the burritos and the nachos, both were good, but not AS good as the tortas. Pretty cheap prices, and with big portions, you definitely get your money's worth. An all around decent place to get Mexican food when your in a hurry, or have a few minutes, nothing too fabulous. Like Kerosan L. said, no frills, you just come here to get some good food and that's about it. Worth stopping by if your driving by and need a quick bite or craving some Mexican food in Roselle.
(3)Martin A.
We hit EBF about twice per month for lunch. The food is good, the portions are generous and you get free chips and salsa if you dine in. The decor is a bit tired, but I'm not there to eat the wallpaper. The service can be slow at times, but overall it is well worth a visit.
(4)Kelly L.
Steak burrito was really good! Service was quick and easy like fast food but a lot tastier!
(4)Kerosan L.
If you want mexican food that's close by, this is the place. For the price of their food, I'll take it. I always get the carne asada and I love it. No frills, just the food...my daughter likes the horchata (drink). Their baby burritos do not look like small sizes so be careful when ordering the burritos though that may depend on how big or small one's appetite is. This place has been around and there are followers and I think, that's the reason why they're still open. Patronize your own, as what they say.
(4)Stefano L.
The best Mexican fare around the area. Clean, courteous and priced to eat. Not to expensive, dinner for two (dine in or carry out) is less than $15-20. Typically order the steak burrito Suizo or steak tacos and every time it's just perfect. Avid customer since at least 2009 or 2010 and eat there at least 2x a month.
(5)Vince A.
Definitely the kind of place that you can order and get in and out quickly. We normally stay away from the burritos (too american for our taste) and go right for the milanesa tortas and steak tacos with onion and cilantro. We are fans and some contractors working for us said it was pretty good for suburban mexican. The place is kind of a dump, but I wasn't expecting white tablecloths either.
(4)B O.
This a really good place to eat Mexican food, the place is not to big but I really don't care because I order more to go, the only bad thing on here is, they don't have delivery;(
(4)Ryan S.
I ate a greasy chorizo burrito here and I got food poisoning. There is no question that the poisoning came from this place because I got sick soon after I ate and I had all the telltale symptoms. I will never go back to this place, the people there barely speak any English and the food is obviously not prepared the right way. It could've been an isolated incident, but still. Why take a chance?
(1)Josh H.
I work near this restaurant and eat it fairly regularly. It's not the best Mexican in the world, but it's not bad either. It would seem that the previous reviewer's experiences were an isolated incident. So if you're in the mood for Mexican, I'd recommend this restaurant.
(3)Cindy R.
This place is recommended for cheap, quick Mexican food. They have the requisite huge burritos, but they've also got good taco plates which come with rice and beans, and they give you a choice of sauces with your order (some hotter than others).
(4)Andrew L.
Went there after Brunswick zone bowling and had a steak burrito a couple of steak tacos can't complain it was a good burrito the kids loved the tacos good experience they were very nice Got there just before they closed Nice people
(4)Bill V.
I stop here occasionally for lunch and always find the Steak Burrito super. Never a wait, and always prompt service.
(5)David T.
The food is great here and prices are very reasonable. Free chips and salsa dining in. The steak tacos with cilantro and onion is a great quick and affordable lunch. Staff is very very friendly.
(5)Amy H.
Ordered some tacos and an horchata and everything was great. Mexican food done right and the employees are friendly. I think it's family run which is something great to see, it's nice having a local family stop since so many places are franchises these days. My friends had burritos and they loved them, flavor was on point for all.
(4)Stacy M.
Everyone always ate at El Burrito when in high school but I wasn't big on mexican then, so I never tried it. One night after being out late some friends decided to grab El Burrito on the way home. I had started eating steak tacos and was excited to finally try El Burrito. The result? Meh. Maybe it had been hyped for too many years, or maybe everyone who loved it had the pallette of a 15 year old who had only had taco bell up until that point, but it was just okay. I loved the green sauce since it was nice and hot, but the taco itself was only okay. Don't see myself going back here unless it's late and everything's closed again.
(3)Ericka A.
I think Dalibor Z. was more impressed with the burritos than I was, but he ordered the XL Chicken Burrito and opted for Suizo-style, which is where they take a slice of cheese and cook it on top of the burrito. I went with a Giant Chorizo Burrito and added Sour Cream and Avocado, no Lettuce. The amount of Avocado was perfect, but there didn't seem to be that much Sour Cream or the Cheese it comes with. We were served complimentary Chips & Salsa. The spice level left my lips tingling in a good way. The Chorizo Burrito had a nice zing to it, but it was super, super greasy. I expected it to be slightly greasy, but it quickly disolved the bottom of my Burrito and filled the plate with brown grease. I tried to hold it together with one napkin, then two, then three. It was no use. I finally stopped the grease flow with five napkins. I'll probably try the Steak Burrito next time. Pricing isn't bad for what you get. It was just under $20 for an XL Chicken Suizo Burrito, a Giant Chorizo Burrito with two additional toppings, a Mexican Coke and a Pineapple Jarritos, plus the Chips & Salsa. I only ate about half the Burrito, so I got leftovers out of it.
(3)Tommy P.
Our favorite place to get burritos! They are the best around, although they do have off days.
(4)Jay C.
Damn good buritto.... #2 spot for me... Excellent green sauce Great service Can't wait to go back
(4)Marilena C.
Came here 3x with my boyfriend and each time was horrible. Steak tastes like beef jerky. Very dry, overcooked, basically tastes like its been cooked...then left to chill on the grill top for hours. Nothing tastes fresh. The rice is very bland. Looks like they add a dash of hot sauce for food coloring, would be more satisfied with a box of rice a roni. Doesnt help that the place is just filthy looking. The last time I came here I was out drinking with some friends so we stopped in at like 2am. Even drunk I was disappointed. Needless to say I will no longer be coming back.
