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.

Don't get me wrong, that chicken is AWESOME! But the accompaniments are...how do I say this nicely...not. I tried their newest location on Lake Street in Melrose Park and I was so happy to finally find a good chicken place that served juicy, crispy, delicious bird. I was just disappointed by the beans, rice, salsa, and tortillas. Let me just briefly say this: hard and flavorless rice, boring beans, salt and garlic-less salsa, and dry, gray (although house made) tortillas. The service was fast and good, the restaurant was fairly clean, I just didn't like that the chicken's succulence was knocked down a peg because of bad friends, nah-I'm-sayin'?

When the company I work for acquired a large property in downtown Aurora, my reaction was, sweet an excuse to eat at all those authentic tacorillas. I was not disappointed. The outside looked the part. Nothing fancy, just some sign's advertising their menu. I got five tacos and they where delicious. Lengua, and El Pastor! Tender meet and perfect small corn tortillas. Great salsas to add to the tacos. I have to go back here to sample more of the menu, but my first experience was brief and wonderful.

Really good grilled chicken at El Pollo Giro! Go hungry, there are basically two dish sizes to choose from, half or a whole. I ordered a half, it came with beans, rice, some tortilla and a cup of fresh salsa. The chicken was grilled to perfection and really juicy. The rice on the other hand was a bit dry.

Really enjoyed this place! Nice alternative to other fast foods. The chicken is made to order on their grill with great seasoning!

This place is heaven for your tastebuds. The chicken is usually fresh off the grill. I get the half chicken with rice, beans, salsa, tortillas, and I make little tacos with it.... And then I have leftovers. :) Yea the place seems like a little "hole in the wall" restaurant, but that's just part of the experience. Sometimes my coworkers and I get the whole chicken and split it. It is always so good!

When I moved to Chicago I missed this place so much. I get it anytime I'm anywhere near Aurora. They have the best Mexican grilled chicken on the planet. With those grilled onion and peppers...oh my god.

This is the chicken of my dreams! Full of flavor and tastes even better than a charcoal backyard bbq. You can see the cook preparing it right in front of your eyes, with a big meat cleaver to cut the bird into pieces for you. I crave it all the time. One whole chicken with the most basic package (1 chicken with tortillas and salsa) is 12.99, and serves 3 very hungry people or four regular hungry people.

Good grilled chicken, good price, and even though some others don't like the sides, I think they are pretty good. There are only four booths in the place, but since I get takeout, it isn't an issue. Sometimes you have to wait 10 or 15 minutes for them to prepare it, but that just means it is fresh. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I was drawn to this place mostly because of its name, which evoked fond memories of the El Pollo Loco chain, which is to chicken what In-N-Out is to burgers--mostly a West Coast food phenomena. Anyone who knows me or reads my reviews know I'm a whore for bone-in chicken, whether it's Greek, jerk, BBQ, or Mexican-style, as is El Pollo Giro's specialty. This place did not disappoint. While it's not the best chicken I ever had, they fire up some pretty damned good bird pieces. I received my food quick, and the chicken was fresh off the grill. The restaurant isn't much to look at, but the service is great, it's a warm atmosphere, and the prices are right. Next time I'm in the area, I'll try the beans and rice. Or maybe buy a soccer jersey, a rhinestone belt buckle, or quinceanera cake next door.

The chicken is amazing. I get cravings for it! my mouth is watering right now just thinking of it

The best way to describe this place: The chicken is good... not great. Timing is everthing here. If you arrive and they are just taking the birds off the charcoal grill, they are moist and flavorful. If they are in the holding pattern and waiting to be sold...not so much! This is relevant as well to the pre packaged rice, beans etc, always in the holding pattern! The aroma of the grilled chicken from the exhaust fan as you arrive in the parking lot is incredible, and worthy of 5 stars alone!

All I really have to say is YES. Yes please, yes now, yes more, yes wheel me home! The chicken is great. The smell will make you hungry 30 minutes after a big meal. There really is only a couple choices... chicken quesadilla, chicken nachos, half a chicken or a whole chicken. Get the chicken! The salsa is made fresh and delicious. The price is reasonable... about $7.50 for a half chicken with tortillas, salsa, beans, and rice. You will be full! Don't be chicken, go to this place!

Not great for area Mexican food. Better chicken at other area taco shops. Don't waste your time.

The smell of the charcoal chicken is heavenly. This location is definitely more of a take out place, there are only 3 tables, so be prepared to take it to go. I went with my kiddies cause we were in the area and as soon as we opened the door---we were salivating! Not gonna lie the location does look a little sketchy cause it's in a strip mall, definitely a local type of place--theres nothing else really around the strip mall area. We ordered the whole chicken with all the fixins'--it included rice, beans, corn tortillas, salsa, roasted jalepenos and onions, and a side salad (the #4). The salsa was fresh and had a little kick to it--definitely complimented the chicken very well. The salad itself was nothing to get excited over--but the pickled red onions that were on top of the salad were excellent with the chicken. I thought the rice alone was on the bland side--but with the beans was great. The beans are whole and in a type of thicker gravy sauce--very tasty. Would definitely eat there again. Hooray for awesome chicken!!! The best way I can describe this is like being at the lake near montrose harbor in the summer time grilling away with the family and friends. Yum.

Delicioso Pollo! This chicken is charcoal style on the spot I usually call ahead and place my order especially on weekends. Everything is delicious the salsa, rice, beans, grilled scallions.. Yummie you can't go wrong. For those watching your weight make a salad verse the rice and beans :)

Amazing chicken. Don't pass it by.

This place might have the best grilled chicken I've ever had. Staff was friendly. Not much else, but the chicken is awesome. Went back a second time.... It's so good. Find this place and go.

Delicious charcoal style chicken. They make it fresh so sometimes it can take a while for the food to be ready. Worth the time. Great price. Forget KFC or Popeyes!! The place is more of a carry out than a dine in. Friendly service. Great parking.
