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'm not really a fan (hence, no 4 stars), their food is mediocre. One bonus to dining in is that they serve beer and margaritas, but really that's not enough of a draw for me to keep coming back. Last time I went to Los, I had the vegetarian burrito since a friend had suggested it to me. The server was really sweet and prices are fair, but the food itself left much to be desired. The burrito was large, but only consisted of beans, lettuce, tomato and rice. Now, even Qdoba throws in some grilled veggies! This place is supposed to be authentic Mexican but the burrito lacked any flavor. I was extremely disappointed both in the burrito itself and my friend for making such a terrible suggestion. My bf prefers the burritos here to any other local spot, so it may just be the vegetarian burrito that sucks. While on the topic of vegetarian dishes, they don't serve gorditas de rajas. I love those and have found them to be a staple at most places since everywhere has the ingredients...but nope, no gordita for me. The guacamole is a reasonable portion and fresh, but not my favorite. It's very basic: avocado, cilantro, onion and lime. The chips are good but not as crispy as I'd like. I've also had their Chile relleno, which was no great shakes. Everything I've tried here has been mediocre at best...except the horchata. That was pretty good. They have great service, are always friendly and prompt, and are open til midnight on most nights (if not 1 a.m.), but Mexican restaurants are run of the mill in the Chicago burbs, and this one doesn't do anything for me. I prefer Jalisco off rt 31 when in the STC area.

These S.O.Bs put a pebble in my Burrito! I hate this place. Trashy food in a trashy place served by trashy people. Don't eat here.
(1)Ash W.
The food was pretty meh. I have definitely had better, even for it's low price. Service was OK. There were many people dining in and we received our food relatively fast. I've heard great things about this place but I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. Mediocre food and service.
(2)Lucas C.
Good authentic-ish food. 3 stars cause its a bit of a dive. A bit too dirty.
(3)Osiris V.
I FINALLY went to the third one!!! Still pretty awesome, I think this one has better tacos de carne asada. They tasted so good. Ofcourse I got some horchata and some chiles toreados. I was kind of disappointed in the chiles because they just gave me some raw jalapenos that I had to sauté myself!! Anyways, my friend got steak fajitas and an horchata as well. All three locations are good.
(4)Karl C.
Very large tacos, compared to other independent Mexican restaurants. I ordered five tacos without realizing their size and had to force down the final two. The salsa here is alright; their chips, however, are nice and tasty. Service at Los Burritos Mexicanos is a little spotty. If you don't know to grab a table without prompting or that you have to pay up at the register, you won't really be told that. The wait staff isn't very attentive either -- I can't imagine what it would be like if the place were packed. Parking can be an issue here too. They have a very small, private lot and there's no street or adjacent, alternative parking. My first attempt to come here was unsuccessful because I couldn't find a spot. It's an alright place to stop for some tacos but I'll keep looking for a better alternative in this area.
(3)Mary C.
Food is authentic and delicious. Price is very reasonable, margaritas rival any tropical escape! There's just something about what they do to their steak and chicken! Amazing! All salsas and sauces are homemade,flavorful and plentiful, one to suit every taste. Service is excellent!
(5)George F.
Great place, never a disappointment and the prices are right. Decent food, great value and excellent service- WIN!
(5)Melissa V.
The burritos here are still some of my favorites, but their rating goes done due to the fact that they now charge for the chips and salsa, which is ridiculous since tortilla chips are the cheapest thing on Earth. Also, some of the waitresses are uber grumpy, so watch out.
(3)Nicole P.
Service: NOT GOOD. No smiles. The waitress' look at your drinks and just walk by or do not ask you for a refill. There were several woman working there just talking and did not check up on me and my friends when we were eating. We were all out of drinks and I had to ask to get refills. When we finished our meal we were not guided where to go after that. We eventually realized that you have to walk up to the register and tell them exactly what you eat in order to pay. They are quite disorganized. Food: The chicken is slightly watery and greasy. The steak was delicious but they do not give you as much as the chicken (probably because it costs more for steak). The portion sizes are good and I enjoyed the tacos and quesadillas. My friend loved the burritos; the regular size and giant burritos are both a good choice. If you are starving I would go for a giant burrito. The salsa that they give you is amazing! Cleanliness: The bathrooms could use improving.. Otherwise I saw no big issues. Overall: If the service was better: smiling, friendliness, continuously checking up on the customers, asking how the food is, and refilling drinks: then I would come back. The inside was quite chilly, the AC was cranked up high which is not a bad thing if it is not out. The seats were very comfy if you choose the booth. As for now, I do no think I will come back. ** If you do not care about unwelcoming service then you can come here.

I had a horrible case of burrito fever and all I wanted was a good, authentic burrito. I just moved back to the area from LA and I have definitely been spoiled by SoCal's amazing Mexican food. I can't believe all of the good reviews of this place. First of all, the woman at the takeout counter had a very difficult time taking my order. I ordered 2 chorizo burritos, 1 bean and cheese burrito (which she didn't understand. I thought that was pretty straight forward) and a large horchata. It probably took a good 10 minutes for her to get my order straight. She was going to charge me full price for a bean and cheese burrito which is not standard and a bit ridiculous, so I ended up scratching that. The chorizo was NOT good. I'm really not too picky. I might complain, but 9.5 times out of 10 I will at least eat it. I couldn't even finish this burrito, to be honest. The chorizo just tasted like heavily salted ground beef. It was bland and overwhelmingly salty. My mom, who used to love this place, agreed that it was just bad. I also don't understand why the burritos are $6, when most of the filling is lettuce, beans and tomatoes. I didn't get chips or anything. Maybe Chicago suburbanites are okay with this, but let me tell you--- incredible Mexican food exists, and this isn't it. +2 stars because the horchata was awesome and because my mom says it is usually good.

Great place, good and cheap food.

This restaurant doesn't look like much, but I guarantee you it's like a diamond in the rough :D My friend and I went there on 05/20/11. This place is small compared to the restaurants we've been to lately. Once you walk in, it's almost feels like a semi-fast food semi-restaurant. You just sit wherever you want (I asked the front before sitting) and wait for the waiter. Ours came and she offered us drinks, which we chose cokes. She asked us the size of drink we wanted, regular or large, and we chose large. Let me tell you, large is LARGE! The cup probably holds as much drink as an extra large from Taco Bell, if not larger! Yeah, we were surprised but it was fine because we usually go through two glasses of drinks in other restaurants anyways. Looking at the menu, they offered side items for the main meal besides having appetizers. We decided to skip appetizers and just order the main course + 1 side. I got the mixed Fajitas + 1 cheese quesadilla and my friend got a veggie burrito + 1 cheese quesadilla. My friend was offered two sizes: regular or large. The waiter told us that both were the same price, so the choice was large. Here we go again xD When our order came to the table, which was less than 10 minutes, he got a HUUGE burrito! Even Chipotle's burrito had to bow before its mass! (Keep in mind that this restaurant is more of a Traditional Mexican Food place) My Fajitas were as expected, but it looked soo good. The food was great. The meats were cooked very good and the tortillas were great as well. If I had to complain on something, it would be the average taste of the beans and rice...but they were still good. My friend enjoyed his burrito, though he would've preferred more veggies (he's always saying that :D ). Now the quesadilla is just AMAZING while hot! I was surprised how great it tasted, but once the cool settles in, it loses its luster...fair warning ;) Both of us finished our meals this time. After all that, the bill came out really cheap compared to the other restaurants we've been to. We might as well ditch any fast food places we go to and come here from now on...just a couple dollars different for better food (well, I still wouldn't leave Chipotle). My friend was so shocked (in a good way) at the bill that he couldn't even laugh, even though he promised to xDD In summary, this place is AWESOME!! Great food, cheap prices, fast service...what else can you ask for? I recommend everyone to try this place out if they get a chance...you'll love it here!

I have been meaning to give my review for this place. I can not believe I have FINALLY found a good authentic Mexican restaurant in St Chuck that doesn't close at 9! These folks a friendly, its clean, the food is AWESOME! This is our new favorite place to eat. We visit almost weekly. You might see us there...say hello if you do! :)
(5)Jonnie F.
Love it always go when I can to go get a steak burrito very good steak best of any mexican place I ever ben to and not expensive either hate places wherr you have to put salsa on your food for flavor but they have the best salsa verde its too good
(5)pbarp M.
Steak Ranchero is my favorite. The flan is very good.
(4)Daniel T.
Finally we have found a Mexican restaurant in our area that we can get behind. Great food at pretty good prices. Nothing fancy but this kind of food shouldn't be fancy in the first place! When you're in the mood for a good steak taco or a good sized burrito this is the place to go.
(4)Randall B.
Wow, what a surprise. I wanted to go out for Mexican last night, but did not want to spend a fortune. Bien Trucha for gourmet, but didn't want that. Fat Rosies, expensive for what you get. Los Burritos Mexicanos#3 was a delightful surprise. Margaritas reasonably priced at $5.50 and good. Burritos were very generous! The regular size is more than enough. Excellent election of hot sauces. Inside clean not fancy. Excellent value. Definitiely will be back!
(4)Troy H.
Best Mexican in the area. Leave the frilly fufu crap to Bien Trucha and the other place across the street. This place is about real mexican food minus the 15 dollar mini tacos. The al pastor tacos are great. Tamales are great here. The owner is very friendly and the staff is on their game. Love this place
(4)Captain K.
Excellent food with monster sized potions!! Price is right, not too high. Staff was very friendly when we went. We got quick service. I think they need to invest in some new decorations. It was strange they had their menu printed out and taped along the top of the wall when you first get in. That won't stop us from coming back though.
(4)Frank G.
Great local Mexican food! Always fresh. Portions are ridiculously huge. I ask for extra meat on my fajitas and I swear they are tring to challenge me to finish. :) I posted a pic of them! Staff is always nice and friendly.
(5)Joe B.
I order a steak burrito every time, and it is the best, the fastest and the most consistent. The staff is exceptionally nice and always ask you if you liked everything upon paying. In my opinion, this place is only second to El Farol on Archer Ave. in Argo-Summit.
(4)Evan K.
Nothing gourmet here. Just good, tasty, and pretty fast Mexican food. If you're looking for tacos, tostadas, burritos, or any of the normal stuff, this place will hit the spot. The chips were pretty good. I only cared for one of the salsas, but that one was pretty good.
(4)Jakub W.
Good Mexican food served fast and hot. Not the best by any means but worth checking out.
(3)Alex M.
Great place - my family and I eat there almost every Sunday. Prices are very reasonsable, portions are good, and the quality is great. Steak burritos are very good, chips and salsa are good. If I had to say anything negative, I would say that the chips could be better. If you dine-in, the large cup for a coke is LARGE which I like.
(5)John O.
I've had better Mexican food bar far but if your looking for something cheap, quick, and somewhat decent I recommend it. I also recommend it if you have kids. This used to be a Pizza Hut so the setup works great for the little ones. It's not gourmet but how many Mexican restaurants are. Good for someone looking for a cheap lunch or late night craving.
(4)Cassandra L.
This place is great for many reasons - quality and quantity of food, value and service. I've eaten there a few times and gotten some carry-out and it's always been good. You get a TON of chips in an order, and the tacos and burritos are very filling. They also have great chilaquiles, but definitely spicier than any other chilaquiles I've had - just a warning. Los Burrito's reminds me a lot of Jalapeño Grille (big compliment because that's one of my favorite places in STC). The only problem I've had was today when my coworkers and I decided to get carry-out for lunch, and they forgot to give us the horchata I ordered. But when I called them to inquire about my drink, they were super nice and offered me a free meal to make up for it, which I really appreciated since I had to drive back across town. They are also very fast when you dine in, so it's a good choice if you are on a lunch break.
(4)Devin W.
Great food, authentic Mexican, low prices. In an old Pizza Hut building. This place serves outstanding food in a relaxed setting. Good for families or dining solo.
(4)mark g.
Best tamale ever! Also love their sopes. If you like Mexican food at a good price, you have to try this place. Decor is average but the food is great!
(4)Mark K.
I must say I was a bit skeptical given all the great reviews. I set a high bar. This place exceeded my expectations. Simply delicious flavors. Great service too. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
(5)Greg V.
Terrific Horchata very good service and a lot of food for the money we will definitely be back. Very clean place as well!!!! Excellent cheese fries as well!!!!
(5)John D.
Always a good Mexican meal at a reasonable price. And my son says they have the best burgers in town.
(3)Alex B.
I love supporting this family owned place. They are very nice and serve good old greasy Mexican food. When I want something fancy I head to Bien Trucha, but this is my place for giant burritos (the size of my arm!), taco salad, and piled high tortas. They have good guac which you can order in giant carry-out tubs to serve at parties. Last time I checked they stayed open pretty late (12 or 1am, I think) which makes it a great place for a group to refuel after drinking in downtown St. Charles. They have a surprisingly large dining area, and I've never seen it crowded, which means you'd have a good chance of seating a large party.
(4)Heather T.
Never had a bad meal here. Delicious food, fast and friendly service, and reasonable prices. I just wish it was easier to get to. (There is no access from west bound 64)
(5)Sofia D.
I get an horachata and 2 chicken tacos every time I go there, and my bf gets the giant steak burrito with horchata. We are never dissapointed when we eat there, maybe it's because we always get the same thing... One time I did have had one of their steak dishes and it was also great.
(5)Angela P.
I have been to all three locations of this family owned Mexican/Mexican-American restaurant. The other ones are located in Lombard and Villa Park. I have tried just about everything on the menu and enjoy it all! I typically get the steak fajitas with a side of sour cream...cause I'm fat like that. And I have also had their tacos de al pastor (pork), Mexican style on a corn tortilla with cilantro and onion...MMMM!! I have also had their burritos and nachos which are also amazing! And to drink, I always get the horchata...it's really good from here! A definite must try! Any location is good...the food tastes the same at all three!
(4)Micah S.
When I want Mexican food this is always my first stop. For one, it is abnormally fast. I usually get the steak burrito, and it comes ready to eat in less than three minutes. I have had their Tortas (Chorizo), and tacos. Everything is great. Horchata, yes! If you want quick and tasty Mexican food, I cannot recommend this place enough.
(4)Mr M.
This is the place to go if you want real Mexican food. The prices are about right for sit-down food. They have a good selection of delicious food that you won't find at Taco Bell. Also the place has late hours for your late night cravings.
(4)Glen K.
I was introduced to Los Burritos by a family member, after moving to the area. Outside of the nice looking front landscaping, the old Pizza Hut converted building really did not impress me at all. Got to give credit though to good ole American entrepreneurship, they something successful out of nothing. Just as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Without comparing other local Mexican restaurants that I have been to, the food here is one of if not the best. In fact, I am considering quit trying other ones and go with a known quality. I have actually looked forward to getting home from a work trip to go to Los Burritos. I enjoy their food that much. Every time I have been here, I cannot make myself order anything but the 3 steak tacos. Sometimes I add the dinner portions. They have all the other meats (even tongue, tried it,...eh like low fat steak IMHO). The atmosphere is a little lacking affecting the star rating. Its just your typical diner setting, but it is usually clean and there is always a place to sit. When you walk in the staff always smiles and says "sit where you like", or makes a arm sweeping motion across the room. They follow you to your table to bring chips/salsa plus 3 other varieties of hot sauces. My favorite is the creamy green verde. They have beer and margaritas . There is usually about 2 gals serving the entire place and somebody at the register. I've never had a service issue or getting something I need. Once you order, its usually out before a family of 4 can empty the basket of chips. I see quite a few people come in, order, and wait a few minutes for their to-go orders. When you are all done, you go up to the register to pay the bill and leave. Family of 4 can get a full happy belly for only about $25-30 (including tip). The other factor affecting the star rating is getting in and out of the parking lot due to the median in the center lane on Main St./Rte 64. Without sounding selfish, I might consider it a mixed blessing in that it probably keeps the crowds out.
(4)Bob L.
Decent food, stopped for lunch on Sunday afternoon - everybody really liked the food. Inside is a remodeled Old Pizza Hut; so imaging an old Pizza Hut seating area freshened up with new decor. Servers were great and attentive; chips and salsa were good. You get three squeeze bottles with other variations and types of salsa that were good too. All in all; I'll be back - it's not my favorite, but tasty enough to be back.
(3)Ed S.
Looking for authentic Mexican food? Look no further. Everything here is homemade including the flan! We walked in at 7pm on a Saturday and it was packed. There was one newly vacated booth and when the server saw us walking towards the table she took it upon herself to clean it for us! Chips and salsa are complementary. I like the fajitas and the steak dishes. Burritos are giant! Service was super fast.
(5)Lena S.
I love Los Burrito's! Great prices, large portions and friendly staff! I swing by often on my lunch break for a veggie burrito & rice. Love, love, love their rice!
(4)Joe E.
A lot of really poor reviews recently for this place... I have nothing terrible to say, but nothing great either. I came here with two co-workers for lunch on Thursday. I've frequented the Los Burritos Tapatios in Glen Ellyn, but I'm not sure if and how the burritos mexicanos/tapatios are even related to each other. They all offer similar fare: authentic and quick Mexican. They have your standard tacos, burritos, and tortas. They have some breakfast dishes as well as some specialties such as enchiladas and fajitas. Similar to many Mexican joints, they offer free chips and salsa for each table. You order at the counter if you are getting it to go, but you take a seat and are waited on if you dine in. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided I was pretty hungry and I ordered the chicken fajita dinner, which came with rice and beans. The food came out very quickly, but unfortunately, our waitress was MIA after that. My fajitas were good: lots of onions, tomatoes, and peppers, and a good amount of chicken, too. I wanted more water and more of the salsa that came with the chips, but alas, the waitress never showed up. The place wasn't super crowded, either. They even had two waitresses but they were super slow. Oh well... Also, I ordered corn tortillas with my fajitas and I believe I got flour (they were white; I'm not saying they weren't corn but more commonly I see a yellowish hue with corn tortillas; could be way off here). My coworkers got burritos and they seemed satisfied. I wasn't amazed by anything with my meal; the food was 4 star but the service and price (13.50 for my plate; no drink included) was 2.5 star-ish. I won't be rushing back here but I won't actively avoid it, either.
(3)Punisher J.
Listen this place is horrible. Food is marginal even if you've been drinking too much! Pass pass pass ! Look at little farther you'll be disappointed. If you like this place you'll like cardboard also. You can find that free somewhere!
(1)Mike T.
My wife and I have eaten here 3 times. As in baseball it's 3 strikes and you're out. I've just spent 10 minutes reading these glorious reviews and wonder if they ate at the same place I did. I ordered the skirt steak enchilada combo. It comes with rice and beans. The steak was really good. The rest not so much. The rice smelled funny. Like it sat on the warming table all day. The beans tasted like stale lard. My wife had tacos. Again the meat smelled funny and was full of fat and grizzle. Two bites of that mess and my wife was done. We vowed we weren't coming back. Next it was my grandsons birthday and this is the place he picked. A carbon copy of our first meal. Bad and funny smelling food. The third ( and last time ) I went with people from work who said this was the best Mexican food in town. This time I had three tacos and no rice and beans. Very marginal. The steak taco was ice boxy. Like it was reheated from yesterday. The chicken taco was dry and off putting. The el pastor was not flavorful. I've decided that that I don't care how hungry I am for Mexican, this place is off my list for good.
(1)Tish D.
Good authentic Mexican food. Good variety on menu and they even have Menudo daily. Burritos are my favorite with 2 sizes and the large one can feed 2 people easily. It's the size of your head! Service has been inconsistent but food is what brings me back.
(4)Michael B.
I love this place for cheap pretty authentic mexican food with huge portions and usually very good food (sometimes you just don't get what you expect like the steak being dried out from siting on the grill top way too long) other than that I can say I'm always happy and full when I leave... So why only 3 stars? Because every time I go, even if I order the exact same thing... THE PRICE IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT !!!! This drives me insane! Am I getting a deal one day and bent over the next??? I don't know and I don't like it. Figure that out and my rating will be 5 star
(3)Peter E.
When I call in my order for pickup, they point to the refrigerator so that I (A Customer) can get the drinks I ordered over the phone. What's the point to call in ahead if they won't take the initiative? Desperately seeking another local taco place.
(2)R. M.
Very good food, excellent burritos, tacos and steaks. Good portions and friendly service good prices too.
(5)Caleb Y.
Simply put- the nastiest fricken Mexican food I have ever had. I came in with a friend on a Friday night. The place was pretty busy and had a lot of staff, which was great. Now I love Mexican food, more than anyone I know, but this was not Mexican, this was taco hell. My friend ordered chicken tacos and I ordered chicken fajitas. When our food came I was hungry and it looked decent. After my first bite, I realized my chicken was not cooked all the way. I chose not to complain, because I am one of those people who believe they do stuff to your food when you complain, but I quickly decided I was full. My friend thought her food was great! Until... 2 hours later she texted me letting me know she thinks she has food poisoning!! This place is nasty! I will not be giving them my service again. Oh, and the waitress never offered a refill on our beverages nor did she ask how we even liked it... Go give your business to Front Street Cantina in Geneva off 3rd street!
(1)M W.
After reading some positive reviews, we stopped here for a quick dinner. I have eaten some authentic, delicious Mexican food from some real hole-in-the-wall places in my day, but let me tell you...the food here was neither authentic nor delicious. We ordered our meals and literally 2 minutes later the waitress was bringing out the plates. That tells me that it was all pre-made and shoveled onto a plate then microwaved. The insides of the enchiladas weren't even warm. Come on, people! Bland, dry chicken inside, oily yellow cheese outside. No thanks, I won't be partaking again.
(1)Andy V.
Not sure how this place is getting these reviews. I've been here multiple times, mostly because its the only sit down restaurant that's open late. 2 out of the 4 times I've gone, me and who I've been with have gotten serve food poisoning to the point of being hospitalize. This place is dirty, all of the waitresses do not speak English and cough in their hands while they are serving you. I complained about the chips being stale and all they did was microwave them. I would NOT recommend going here. There are plenty of other good Mexican restaurants in the area.
(1)J J.
Place has really gone down hill in the last 6 months. Started going there in 07/08 when they opened as we wanted to support local business. Over looked the fatty meats for a while but continued to go hoping that the time before was a fluke.....it is now consistently questionable. Hair in salsa, different prices EVERYTIME. Can't help but feel scammed. Regular burritos are ordered ...and they brought everyone a giant...saying that we didn't specify which size so it automatically gets upgraded to a giant...what? If not specified, as all the years before we were brought regular...unless someone wanted the giant, in which case its ordered that way. Makes me sad for the owner who was always so nice, but my family will NEVER go again!!!!
(1)Kristina U.
I don't see anything special about this place; its neither good nor bad its just very average. You get what you pay for here and the prices are relatively low so the quality isn't that great.
(3)Karli C.
Yes, the food is delicious! Love it! But.... The service has gone steadily down hill. I'm sad to say, even though I love the food here, I never feel welcome when I come for a visit. It's not often that I get a smile when I walk in. In fact, I hardly feel noticed. Today I came in and stood at the counter. all the waitresses were sitting at a table and they completely ignored me. I haven't been there in 6 months maybe..... It just was awkward and rude. I almost left. I still love this food.....and I'm sure I'll be back again in a few months. But that's all they have going for them. If people could just put a smile on there, I promise it will make a big difference.
(3)Delilia H.
A nice night out to this place. Food smelled delicious. It definitely taste wonderful. Hits the spot! The tamale is very tasty. The Pozole soup is yummy. So big portion. I love the sauces!!!
(5)Helen H.
Well, I really wanted to like this place... After hearing how my husband's experience with his coworkers the day previous to my first visit was so great, I felt I had to try. We drove back out to Los burritos Mexicanos last week Saturday... Yes, the food was okay, compared to some other Mexican food I've had. However, that being said, I don't appreciate it when I find a hair on my plate (on the bright side, at least it wasn't hidden in my food, where I couldn't see it... It was out on the middle of the plate, clear as day). Regardless of the positive reviews or comments from my husband's colleagues at work, I definitely won't be returning. That experience made it so that I wouldn't want to eat there any longer.

Lo mejor de lo mejor pues claro trabajo á lado excelente comida ! The best of the best of course I work next door Excellent food!

Look, no high brow stuff here. Just basic, good "blue collar' Mexican. If you are looking for hoity-toity - look on. You wouldn't get this place anyway. One wish is that they go back to "real" queso fresco vs using the cheeze-whiz when cutomers order queso (for chips). Otherwise, great stuff, made now and generous with portions.
(4)JoAnn C.
I have frequented Los Burritos since the first location opened in Villa Park. Now in St. Charles I eat here at least once a week. Delicious, great Mexican food.
(5)Mike C.
Quick. Inexpensive. Good! First time at Los Burritos today and I will be back!
(5)Karen W.
Got the steak burrito w/sour cream to go and it was fabulous and huge! Great for the $$. Ill be back!!
(4)Eric C.
The food's always good with that authentic taste. Open late, quick service and fairly clean.Staff's really nice and friendly. I'll definitely return again and again. Check it out as well.

I am absolutely baffled at all the positive reviews. Our meal was terrible! Sure, the place looks dodgy but if it has awesome reviews, they must be doing something right... right? Wrong! Our food came out about 3 minutes after we ordered it. Fast and speedy, ok, that's great. But when the food tasted as barely mediocre as it did, it makes me wonder if they plated it and then microwaved it. My enchilada dinner was barely luke warm. Most Mexican restaurant dishes taste very similar, no matter which restaurant you go to. But this food was noticeably different and in a negative way. The edges of the tortilla were so overdone that I had a hard time chewing it. A flour tortilla! It wasn't even crispy... more like hard and chewy. My husband's burrito had so much water in it, it was leaking all over the place but more so, made for a nasty soggy burrito. Drain. your. chicken. people. The service was horrible. Our server never refilled our drinks. And she never came over to check on us either. Never. again.

Who new you could actually find some ethnic diversity in St. Charles/Geneva!!! Thank you for being here Los Burrito's! My steak burrito was so great! Looking forward to many more trips here!

When making the trek out to my brothers house, who lives in the very woodsy sub-division of St. Charles called Lilly Lake, I often feel like I'm in a different state. Luckily, I can now feel closer to home as I discovered another Los Burritos Mexicanos location right off 64 and Randall Rd. I say "closer to home" because I frequent the one closer to me in Villa Park quite often. I've taken a liking to the chains authentic, friendly and fast service. I ordered my usual steak burrito, and it was just as good, if not better than the ones I'm familiar with in VP. Something about the steak tasted fresher. Another one of my favorite things about Los Burritos are the salsas. Somethings about the red and green salsa here absolutely rocks my world. Flavorful with the right amount of kick, is how I best describe them. My suggestion to people all you people in St. Charles that know nothing about Mexican food outside of Chipotle, put down that $9 "burrito" with rice in it and head on over to Los Burritos Mexicans for some cheap authentic Mexican fare. You'll be glad you did.
(5)Charlie O.
This place was packed, but for good reason. The burrito I had was a little soggy, but the rice, beans and chips made up for it. Service was average. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
(3)Mary P.
Really awesome food! Very authentic. Their drinks were really good. The waitresses were attentive and super friendly! We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
(5)Furious M.
Awesome Mexican food. Awesome
(5)Dennis N.
have plans to visit dentist,hardest chips ever created..no lunch specials-prices fucking ridiculous..worst mexican food ive ever had!!! i feel i was robbed!
(1)Eric A.
This place is basically a taco shop, forget all the complaints about a bad vegetarian burrito or paying for chips. Friendly staff working hard for a living turning out good food at a fair price. Great steak tacos, chips and salsa.
(4)Rob P.
Great authentic Mexican food at great prices. Love the chips and guacamole.
(5)Jacquie P.
Excellent food and enormous portions!
(4)Cher W.
The food is so tasty here! As well as how clean and organized it is at all times. The prices are great and you get "A LOT" of food! Most of the time, my husband and I split orders.That is how large they are served. All the soups there are fantastic. I highly recommend Los Burritos Mexicanos!!
(4)Lore L.
There isn't much to say about this place excpet that it's good food. Food is great quality - it's no frills Mexican food that never disappoints. We come here again and again because they are consistent and modestly priced. Also, it's open late, and there's not much in this area that is except fast food. If you're on the west side of St. Charles and are craving Mexican, this is the place to go.
(4)Ashley H.
Love the tamales and all the sauces they set out on the table. Good food at a great price. The only downfall is the nachos - they're served with "nacho cheese" as opposed to a white cheese.
(4)Jamie T.
it's true that the food here is good. i've only ever had their food as take-out. today we decided to go and eat there. well, we didn't have anything to eat. we sat there for nearly ten minutes without acknowledgement from anyone and there were only three other tables sat. a party of four came in and sat right behind us. in under thirty seconds, the server had menus, chips, and salsa... walked right past us to greet the new party of four and present them with chips and salsa. i grabbed my purse and said, "lets go". pretty crappy experience. we won't go here again, not even for take-out. we went to front street cantina in geneva instead.
(1)Diane S.
This place is nothing to look at, but the food is authentic and at a good price. The service is ok, but friendly. I always get the carne asada and never had anything negative to say about it. I would recommend it.
(4)Micah S.
When I want Mexican food this is always my first stop. For one, it is abnormally fast. I usually get the steak burrito, and it comes ready to eat in less than three minutes. I have had their Tortas (Chorizo), and tacos. Everything is great. Horchata, yes! If you want quick and tasty Mexican food, I cannot recommend this place enough.
(4)Mr M.
This is the place to go if you want real Mexican food. The prices are about right for sit-down food. They have a good selection of delicious food that you won't find at Taco Bell. Also the place has late hours for your late night cravings.
(4)John O.
I've had better Mexican food bar far but if your looking for something cheap, quick, and somewhat decent I recommend it. I also recommend it if you have kids. This used to be a Pizza Hut so the setup works great for the little ones. It's not gourmet but how many Mexican restaurants are. Good for someone looking for a cheap lunch or late night craving.
(4)Alex M.
Great place - my family and I eat there almost every Sunday. Prices are very reasonsable, portions are good, and the quality is great. Steak burritos are very good, chips and salsa are good. If I had to say anything negative, I would say that the chips could be better. If you dine-in, the large cup for a coke is LARGE which I like.
(5)Cassandra L.
This place is great for many reasons - quality and quantity of food, value and service. I've eaten there a few times and gotten some carry-out and it's always been good. You get a TON of chips in an order, and the tacos and burritos are very filling. They also have great chilaquiles, but definitely spicier than any other chilaquiles I've had - just a warning. Los Burrito's reminds me a lot of Jalapeño Grille (big compliment because that's one of my favorite places in STC). The only problem I've had was today when my coworkers and I decided to get carry-out for lunch, and they forgot to give us the horchata I ordered. But when I called them to inquire about my drink, they were super nice and offered me a free meal to make up for it, which I really appreciated since I had to drive back across town. They are also very fast when you dine in, so it's a good choice if you are on a lunch break.
(4)Devin W.
Great food, authentic Mexican, low prices. In an old Pizza Hut building. This place serves outstanding food in a relaxed setting. Good for families or dining solo.
(4)mark g.
Best tamale ever! Also love their sopes. If you like Mexican food at a good price, you have to try this place. Decor is average but the food is great!
(4)Mark K.
I must say I was a bit skeptical given all the great reviews. I set a high bar. This place exceeded my expectations. Simply delicious flavors. Great service too. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
(5)Greg V.
Terrific Horchata very good service and a lot of food for the money we will definitely be back. Very clean place as well!!!! Excellent cheese fries as well!!!!
(5)John D.
Always a good Mexican meal at a reasonable price. And my son says they have the best burgers in town.

This restaurant doesn't look like much, but I guarantee you it's like a diamond in the rough :D My friend and I went there on 05/20/11. This place is small compared to the restaurants we've been to lately. Once you walk in, it's almost feels like a semi-fast food semi-restaurant. You just sit wherever you want (I asked the front before sitting) and wait for the waiter. Ours came and she offered us drinks, which we chose cokes. She asked us the size of drink we wanted, regular or large, and we chose large. Let me tell you, large is LARGE! The cup probably holds as much drink as an extra large from Taco Bell, if not larger! Yeah, we were surprised but it was fine because we usually go through two glasses of drinks in other restaurants anyways. Looking at the menu, they offered side items for the main meal besides having appetizers. We decided to skip appetizers and just order the main course + 1 side. I got the mixed Fajitas + 1 cheese quesadilla and my friend got a veggie burrito + 1 cheese quesadilla. My friend was offered two sizes: regular or large. The waiter told us that both were the same price, so the choice was large. Here we go again xD When our order came to the table, which was less than 10 minutes, he got a HUUGE burrito! Even Chipotle's burrito had to bow before its mass! (Keep in mind that this restaurant is more of a Traditional Mexican Food place) My Fajitas were as expected, but it looked soo good. The food was great. The meats were cooked very good and the tortillas were great as well. If I had to complain on something, it would be the average taste of the beans and rice...but they were still good. My friend enjoyed his burrito, though he would've preferred more veggies (he's always saying that :D ). Now the quesadilla is just AMAZING while hot! I was surprised how great it tasted, but once the cool settles in, it loses its luster...fair warning ;) Both of us finished our meals this time. After all that, the bill came out really cheap compared to the other restaurants we've been to. We might as well ditch any fast food places we go to and come here from now on...just a couple dollars different for better food (well, I still wouldn't leave Chipotle). My friend was so shocked (in a good way) at the bill that he couldn't even laugh, even though he promised to xDD In summary, this place is AWESOME!! Great food, cheap prices, fast service...what else can you ask for? I recommend everyone to try this place out if they get a chance...you'll love it here!
(4)Karen B.
I have been meaning to give my review for this place. I can not believe I have FINALLY found a good authentic Mexican restaurant in St Chuck that doesn't close at 9! These folks a friendly, its clean, the food is AWESOME! This is our new favorite place to eat. We visit almost weekly. You might see us there...say hello if you do! :)
(5)Mike T.
My wife and I have eaten here 3 times. As in baseball it's 3 strikes and you're out. I've just spent 10 minutes reading these glorious reviews and wonder if they ate at the same place I did. I ordered the skirt steak enchilada combo. It comes with rice and beans. The steak was really good. The rest not so much. The rice smelled funny. Like it sat on the warming table all day. The beans tasted like stale lard. My wife had tacos. Again the meat smelled funny and was full of fat and grizzle. Two bites of that mess and my wife was done. We vowed we weren't coming back. Next it was my grandsons birthday and this is the place he picked. A carbon copy of our first meal. Bad and funny smelling food. The third ( and last time ) I went with people from work who said this was the best Mexican food in town. This time I had three tacos and no rice and beans. Very marginal. The steak taco was ice boxy. Like it was reheated from yesterday. The chicken taco was dry and off putting. The el pastor was not flavorful. I've decided that that I don't care how hungry I am for Mexican, this place is off my list for good.
(1)Tish D.
Good authentic Mexican food. Good variety on menu and they even have Menudo daily. Burritos are my favorite with 2 sizes and the large one can feed 2 people easily. It's the size of your head! Service has been inconsistent but food is what brings me back.
(4)Michael B.
I love this place for cheap pretty authentic mexican food with huge portions and usually very good food (sometimes you just don't get what you expect like the steak being dried out from siting on the grill top way too long) other than that I can say I'm always happy and full when I leave... So why only 3 stars? Because every time I go, even if I order the exact same thing... THE PRICE IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT !!!! This drives me insane! Am I getting a deal one day and bent over the next??? I don't know and I don't like it. Figure that out and my rating will be 5 star
(3)Peter E.
When I call in my order for pickup, they point to the refrigerator so that I (A Customer) can get the drinks I ordered over the phone. What's the point to call in ahead if they won't take the initiative? Desperately seeking another local taco place.
(2)R. M.
Very good food, excellent burritos, tacos and steaks. Good portions and friendly service good prices too.
(5)Caleb Y.
Simply put- the nastiest fricken Mexican food I have ever had. I came in with a friend on a Friday night. The place was pretty busy and had a lot of staff, which was great. Now I love Mexican food, more than anyone I know, but this was not Mexican, this was taco hell. My friend ordered chicken tacos and I ordered chicken fajitas. When our food came I was hungry and it looked decent. After my first bite, I realized my chicken was not cooked all the way. I chose not to complain, because I am one of those people who believe they do stuff to your food when you complain, but I quickly decided I was full. My friend thought her food was great! Until... 2 hours later she texted me letting me know she thinks she has food poisoning!! This place is nasty! I will not be giving them my service again. Oh, and the waitress never offered a refill on our beverages nor did she ask how we even liked it... Go give your business to Front Street Cantina in Geneva off 3rd street!
(1)M W.
After reading some positive reviews, we stopped here for a quick dinner. I have eaten some authentic, delicious Mexican food from some real hole-in-the-wall places in my day, but let me tell you...the food here was neither authentic nor delicious. We ordered our meals and literally 2 minutes later the waitress was bringing out the plates. That tells me that it was all pre-made and shoveled onto a plate then microwaved. The insides of the enchiladas weren't even warm. Come on, people! Bland, dry chicken inside, oily yellow cheese outside. No thanks, I won't be partaking again.
(1)Andy V.
Not sure how this place is getting these reviews. I've been here multiple times, mostly because its the only sit down restaurant that's open late. 2 out of the 4 times I've gone, me and who I've been with have gotten serve food poisoning to the point of being hospitalize. This place is dirty, all of the waitresses do not speak English and cough in their hands while they are serving you. I complained about the chips being stale and all they did was microwave them. I would NOT recommend going here. There are plenty of other good Mexican restaurants in the area.
(1)Gerald K.
Look, no high brow stuff here. Just basic, good "blue collar' Mexican. If you are looking for hoity-toity - look on. You wouldn't get this place anyway. One wish is that they go back to "real" queso fresco vs using the cheeze-whiz when cutomers order queso (for chips). Otherwise, great stuff, made now and generous with portions.

(5)J J.
Place has really gone down hill in the last 6 months. Started going there in 07/08 when they opened as we wanted to support local business. Over looked the fatty meats for a while but continued to go hoping that the time before was a fluke.....it is now consistently questionable. Hair in salsa, different prices EVERYTIME. Can't help but feel scammed. Regular burritos are ordered ...and they brought everyone a giant...saying that we didn't specify which size so it automatically gets upgraded to a giant...what? If not specified, as all the years before we were brought regular...unless someone wanted the giant, in which case its ordered that way. Makes me sad for the owner who was always so nice, but my family will NEVER go again!!!!
(1)Kristina U.
I don't see anything special about this place; its neither good nor bad its just very average. You get what you pay for here and the prices are relatively low so the quality isn't that great.
(3)Karli C.
Yes, the food is delicious! Love it! But.... The service has gone steadily down hill. I'm sad to say, even though I love the food here, I never feel welcome when I come for a visit. It's not often that I get a smile when I walk in. In fact, I hardly feel noticed. Today I came in and stood at the counter. all the waitresses were sitting at a table and they completely ignored me. I haven't been there in 6 months maybe..... It just was awkward and rude. I almost left. I still love this food.....and I'm sure I'll be back again in a few months. But that's all they have going for them. If people could just put a smile on there, I promise it will make a big difference.
(3)Delilia H.
A nice night out to this place. Food smelled delicious. It definitely taste wonderful. Hits the spot! The tamale is very tasty. The Pozole soup is yummy. So big portion. I love the sauces!!!
(5)Helen H.
Well, I really wanted to like this place... After hearing how my husband's experience with his coworkers the day previous to my first visit was so great, I felt I had to try. We drove back out to Los burritos Mexicanos last week Saturday... Yes, the food was okay, compared to some other Mexican food I've had. However, that being said, I don't appreciate it when I find a hair on my plate (on the bright side, at least it wasn't hidden in my food, where I couldn't see it... It was out on the middle of the plate, clear as day). Regardless of the positive reviews or comments from my husband's colleagues at work, I definitely won't be returning. That experience made it so that I wouldn't want to eat there any longer.

(5)Amanda S.
I'm not really a fan (hence, no 4 stars), their food is mediocre. One bonus to dining in is that they serve beer and margaritas, but really that's not enough of a draw for me to keep coming back. Last time I went to Los, I had the vegetarian burrito since a friend had suggested it to me. The server was really sweet and prices are fair, but the food itself left much to be desired. The burrito was large, but only consisted of beans, lettuce, tomato and rice. Now, even Qdoba throws in some grilled veggies! This place is supposed to be authentic Mexican but the burrito lacked any flavor. I was extremely disappointed both in the burrito itself and my friend for making such a terrible suggestion. My bf prefers the burritos here to any other local spot, so it may just be the vegetarian burrito that sucks. While on the topic of vegetarian dishes, they don't serve gorditas de rajas. I love those and have found them to be a staple at most places since everywhere has the ingredients...but nope, no gordita for me. The guacamole is a reasonable portion and fresh, but not my favorite. It's very basic: avocado, cilantro, onion and lime. The chips are good but not as crispy as I'd like. I've also had their Chile relleno, which was no great shakes. Everything I've tried here has been mediocre at best...except the horchata. That was pretty good. They have great service, are always friendly and prompt, and are open til midnight on most nights (if not 1 a.m.), but Mexican restaurants are run of the mill in the Chicago burbs, and this one doesn't do anything for me. I prefer Jalisco off rt 31 when in the STC area.
(3)Christopher Z.
These S.O.Bs put a pebble in my Burrito! I hate this place. Trashy food in a trashy place served by trashy people. Don't eat here.
(1)Ash W.
The food was pretty meh. I have definitely had better, even for it's low price. Service was OK. There were many people dining in and we received our food relatively fast. I've heard great things about this place but I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. Mediocre food and service.
(2)Lucas C.
Good authentic-ish food. 3 stars cause its a bit of a dive. A bit too dirty.
(3)Osiris V.
I FINALLY went to the third one!!! Still pretty awesome, I think this one has better tacos de carne asada. They tasted so good. Ofcourse I got some horchata and some chiles toreados. I was kind of disappointed in the chiles because they just gave me some raw jalapenos that I had to sauté myself!! Anyways, my friend got steak fajitas and an horchata as well. All three locations are good.
(4)Karl C.
Very large tacos, compared to other independent Mexican restaurants. I ordered five tacos without realizing their size and had to force down the final two. The salsa here is alright; their chips, however, are nice and tasty. Service at Los Burritos Mexicanos is a little spotty. If you don't know to grab a table without prompting or that you have to pay up at the register, you won't really be told that. The wait staff isn't very attentive either -- I can't imagine what it would be like if the place were packed. Parking can be an issue here too. They have a very small, private lot and there's no street or adjacent, alternative parking. My first attempt to come here was unsuccessful because I couldn't find a spot. It's an alright place to stop for some tacos but I'll keep looking for a better alternative in this area.
(3)Mary C.
Food is authentic and delicious. Price is very reasonable, margaritas rival any tropical escape! There's just something about what they do to their steak and chicken! Amazing! All salsas and sauces are homemade,flavorful and plentiful, one to suit every taste. Service is excellent!
(5)George F.
Great place, never a disappointment and the prices are right. Decent food, great value and excellent service- WIN!
(5)Melissa V.
The burritos here are still some of my favorites, but their rating goes done due to the fact that they now charge for the chips and salsa, which is ridiculous since tortilla chips are the cheapest thing on Earth. Also, some of the waitresses are uber grumpy, so watch out.
(3)Nicole P.
Service: NOT GOOD. No smiles. The waitress' look at your drinks and just walk by or do not ask you for a refill. There were several woman working there just talking and did not check up on me and my friends when we were eating. We were all out of drinks and I had to ask to get refills. When we finished our meal we were not guided where to go after that. We eventually realized that you have to walk up to the register and tell them exactly what you eat in order to pay. They are quite disorganized. Food: The chicken is slightly watery and greasy. The steak was delicious but they do not give you as much as the chicken (probably because it costs more for steak). The portion sizes are good and I enjoyed the tacos and quesadillas. My friend loved the burritos; the regular size and giant burritos are both a good choice. If you are starving I would go for a giant burrito. The salsa that they give you is amazing! Cleanliness: The bathrooms could use improving.. Otherwise I saw no big issues. Overall: If the service was better: smiling, friendliness, continuously checking up on the customers, asking how the food is, and refilling drinks: then I would come back. The inside was quite chilly, the AC was cranked up high which is not a bad thing if it is not out. The seats were very comfy if you choose the booth. As for now, I do no think I will come back. ** If you do not care about unwelcoming service then you can come here.
(3)Lexie V.
I had a horrible case of burrito fever and all I wanted was a good, authentic burrito. I just moved back to the area from LA and I have definitely been spoiled by SoCal's amazing Mexican food. I can't believe all of the good reviews of this place. First of all, the woman at the takeout counter had a very difficult time taking my order. I ordered 2 chorizo burritos, 1 bean and cheese burrito (which she didn't understand. I thought that was pretty straight forward) and a large horchata. It probably took a good 10 minutes for her to get my order straight. She was going to charge me full price for a bean and cheese burrito which is not standard and a bit ridiculous, so I ended up scratching that. The chorizo was NOT good. I'm really not too picky. I might complain, but 9.5 times out of 10 I will at least eat it. I couldn't even finish this burrito, to be honest. The chorizo just tasted like heavily salted ground beef. It was bland and overwhelmingly salty. My mom, who used to love this place, agreed that it was just bad. I also don't understand why the burritos are $6, when most of the filling is lettuce, beans and tomatoes. I didn't get chips or anything. Maybe Chicago suburbanites are okay with this, but let me tell you--- incredible Mexican food exists, and this isn't it. +2 stars because the horchata was awesome and because my mom says it is usually good.

it's true that the food here is good. i've only ever had their food as take-out. today we decided to go and eat there. well, we didn't have anything to eat. we sat there for nearly ten minutes without acknowledgement from anyone and there were only three other tables sat. a party of four came in and sat right behind us. in under thirty seconds, the server had menus, chips, and salsa... walked right past us to greet the new party of four and present them with chips and salsa. i grabbed my purse and said, "lets go". pretty crappy experience. we won't go here again, not even for take-out. we went to front street cantina in geneva instead.

This place is nothing to look at, but the food is authentic and at a good price. The service is ok, but friendly. I always get the carne asada and never had anything negative to say about it. I would recommend it.

Finally we have found a Mexican restaurant in our area that we can get behind. Great food at pretty good prices. Nothing fancy but this kind of food shouldn't be fancy in the first place! When you're in the mood for a good steak taco or a good sized burrito this is the place to go.

Wow, what a surprise. I wanted to go out for Mexican last night, but did not want to spend a fortune. Bien Trucha for gourmet, but didn't want that. Fat Rosies, expensive for what you get. Los Burritos Mexicanos#3 was a delightful surprise. Margaritas reasonably priced at $5.50 and good. Burritos were very generous! The regular size is more than enough. Excellent election of hot sauces. Inside clean not fancy. Excellent value. Definitiely will be back!

Best Mexican in the area. Leave the frilly fufu crap to Bien Trucha and the other place across the street. This place is about real mexican food minus the 15 dollar mini tacos. The al pastor tacos are great. Tamales are great here. The owner is very friendly and the staff is on their game. Love this place

Excellent food with monster sized potions!! Price is right, not too high. Staff was very friendly when we went. We got quick service. I think they need to invest in some new decorations. It was strange they had their menu printed out and taped along the top of the wall when you first get in. That won't stop us from coming back though.

Great local Mexican food! Always fresh. Portions are ridiculously huge. I ask for extra meat on my fajitas and I swear they are tring to challenge me to finish. :) I posted a pic of them! Staff is always nice and friendly.

I love supporting this family owned place. They are very nice and serve good old greasy Mexican food. When I want something fancy I head to Bien Trucha, but this is my place for giant burritos (the size of my arm!), taco salad, and piled high tortas. They have good guac which you can order in giant carry-out tubs to serve at parties. Last time I checked they stayed open pretty late (12 or 1am, I think) which makes it a great place for a group to refuel after drinking in downtown St. Charles. They have a surprisingly large dining area, and I've never seen it crowded, which means you'd have a good chance of seating a large party.

Never had a bad meal here. Delicious food, fast and friendly service, and reasonable prices. I just wish it was easier to get to. (There is no access from west bound 64)

Listen this place is horrible. Food is marginal even if you've been drinking too much! Pass pass pass ! Look at little farther you'll be disappointed. If you like this place you'll like cardboard also. You can find that free somewhere!

Looking for authentic Mexican food? Look no further. Everything here is homemade including the flan! We walked in at 7pm on a Saturday and it was packed. There was one newly vacated booth and when the server saw us walking towards the table she took it upon herself to clean it for us! Chips and salsa are complementary. I like the fajitas and the steak dishes. Burritos are giant! Service was super fast.

Decent food, stopped for lunch on Sunday afternoon - everybody really liked the food. Inside is a remodeled Old Pizza Hut; so imaging an old Pizza Hut seating area freshened up with new decor. Servers were great and attentive; chips and salsa were good. You get three squeeze bottles with other variations and types of salsa that were good too. All in all; I'll be back - it's not my favorite, but tasty enough to be back.

I love Los Burrito's! Great prices, large portions and friendly staff! I swing by often on my lunch break for a veggie burrito & rice. Love, love, love their rice!

A lot of really poor reviews recently for this place... I have nothing terrible to say, but nothing great either. I came here with two co-workers for lunch on Thursday. I've frequented the Los Burritos Tapatios in Glen Ellyn, but I'm not sure if and how the burritos mexicanos/tapatios are even related to each other. They all offer similar fare: authentic and quick Mexican. They have your standard tacos, burritos, and tortas. They have some breakfast dishes as well as some specialties such as enchiladas and fajitas. Similar to many Mexican joints, they offer free chips and salsa for each table. You order at the counter if you are getting it to go, but you take a seat and are waited on if you dine in. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided I was pretty hungry and I ordered the chicken fajita dinner, which came with rice and beans. The food came out very quickly, but unfortunately, our waitress was MIA after that. My fajitas were good: lots of onions, tomatoes, and peppers, and a good amount of chicken, too. I wanted more water and more of the salsa that came with the chips, but alas, the waitress never showed up. The place wasn't super crowded, either. They even had two waitresses but they were super slow. Oh well... Also, I ordered corn tortillas with my fajitas and I believe I got flour (they were white; I'm not saying they weren't corn but more commonly I see a yellowish hue with corn tortillas; could be way off here). My coworkers got burritos and they seemed satisfied. I wasn't amazed by anything with my meal; the food was 4 star but the service and price (13.50 for my plate; no drink included) was 2.5 star-ish. I won't be rushing back here but I won't actively avoid it, either.

I was introduced to Los Burritos by a family member, after moving to the area. Outside of the nice looking front landscaping, the old Pizza Hut converted building really did not impress me at all. Got to give credit though to good ole American entrepreneurship, they something successful out of nothing. Just as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Without comparing other local Mexican restaurants that I have been to, the food here is one of if not the best. In fact, I am considering quit trying other ones and go with a known quality. I have actually looked forward to getting home from a work trip to go to Los Burritos. I enjoy their food that much. Every time I have been here, I cannot make myself order anything but the 3 steak tacos. Sometimes I add the dinner portions. They have all the other meats (even tongue, tried it,...eh like low fat steak IMHO). The atmosphere is a little lacking affecting the star rating. Its just your typical diner setting, but it is usually clean and there is always a place to sit. When you walk in the staff always smiles and says "sit where you like", or makes a arm sweeping motion across the room. They follow you to your table to bring chips/salsa plus 3 other varieties of hot sauces. My favorite is the creamy green verde. They have beer and margaritas . There is usually about 2 gals serving the entire place and somebody at the register. I've never had a service issue or getting something I need. Once you order, its usually out before a family of 4 can empty the basket of chips. I see quite a few people come in, order, and wait a few minutes for their to-go orders. When you are all done, you go up to the register to pay the bill and leave. Family of 4 can get a full happy belly for only about $25-30 (including tip). The other factor affecting the star rating is getting in and out of the parking lot due to the median in the center lane on Main St./Rte 64. Without sounding selfish, I might consider it a mixed blessing in that it probably keeps the crowds out.

Love it always go when I can to go get a steak burrito very good steak best of any mexican place I ever ben to and not expensive either hate places wherr you have to put salsa on your food for flavor but they have the best salsa verde its too good
(5)pbarp M.
Steak Ranchero is my favorite. The flan is very good.
(4)Joe B.
I order a steak burrito every time, and it is the best, the fastest and the most consistent. The staff is exceptionally nice and always ask you if you liked everything upon paying. In my opinion, this place is only second to El Farol on Archer Ave. in Argo-Summit.
(4)Evan K.
Nothing gourmet here. Just good, tasty, and pretty fast Mexican food. If you're looking for tacos, tostadas, burritos, or any of the normal stuff, this place will hit the spot. The chips were pretty good. I only cared for one of the salsas, but that one was pretty good.
(4)Jakub W.
Good Mexican food served fast and hot. Not the best by any means but worth checking out.
(3)Sofia D.
I get an horachata and 2 chicken tacos every time I go there, and my bf gets the giant steak burrito with horchata. We are never dissapointed when we eat there, maybe it's because we always get the same thing... One time I did have had one of their steak dishes and it was also great.

I have been to all three locations of this family owned Mexican/Mexican-American restaurant. The other ones are located in Lombard and Villa Park. I have tried just about everything on the menu and enjoy it all! I typically get the steak fajitas with a side of sour cream...cause I'm fat like that. And I have also had their tacos de al pastor (pork), Mexican style on a corn tortilla with cilantro and onion...MMMM!! I have also had their burritos and nachos which are also amazing! And to drink, I always get the horchata...it's really good from here! A definite must try! Any location is good...the food tastes the same at all three!
