Amazing food and great drinks, I'm honestly shocked that this place has a drive thru, kinda makes you wonder what it used to be before... Tacos are STUFFED and very flavorful, service is fast and friendly, and the drinks are STRONG. You won't be disappointed. read more

Didn't enjoy it at all. The mango pineapple refresher was undrinkable, and they only offered bottled water instead of a simple glass. The queso fundido was mostly chorizo with very little cheese. Disappointing experience. read more

Great service, get the loaded fries, they really load them up. Super convenient to go thru the drive thru on the way home.

Let's taco-bout it! This place is very vibrant like a beautiful red flower! Place is cozy and small but , the service is super friendly and attentive like a golden retriever and a tennis ball. Food was phenomenal very flavorful and a good proportion, I will say wish the Mexican rice had a little bit more flavor to it. But all and all delicious and will be returning soon! - have you try the tequila! read more

Never disappointed in their food or service. Highly recommend this restaurant for good authentic Mexican food.

I've been through the drive through a few times and it's a quick and easy way to get an authentic taco in minutes! The food is always fast, hot and delicious! I would highly recommend this fantastic taco shop! I prefer the shredded chicken but my son absolutely loves the carne asada street style! read more

The service was really good, I had the Quesabirrias I didn't like the fact that the cheese was hardly there, I could hardly see it or taste it, I thought it didn't have any at first, a lot of meat but hardly any cheese, i personally did not like the flavor. It was my first time therebut I am willing to try it one more time just because of their good customer service. read more

By far the BEST place to go for authentic carne asada tacos! Their salsa verde is simply amazing! And, the only place in this area that does horchata the right way! Prices are a bit steep but you definitely get what you pay for! My family and I eat their tacos once a week! I highly recommend eating inside for the freshest and most delicious food, however, eating it at home is also heavenly. The perfect night? Pick out a favorite movie, order 3 carne asada tacos on corn tortillas with cilantro and onion and a horchata, enjoy the best Mexican food watching the movie with your family! Service is also incredible and the employees are incredibly courteous and dedicated to making sure your experience is enjoyable. Believe me you'll be back!!! -A Loyal Customer read more

We have been here multiple times. The food has always been good and the portions are generous.

I finally got to try this place not too long ago after hearing how good they are! I'm all for supporting local businesses so we were pretty excited to try it! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and got seated right away. Our server was very friendly and helpful with anything if we had questions about the food or menu. The shop is very small so there is limited seating. It has a lot of bright, warm colors that feel inviting, like you're visiting a friend's house. They provide you with their house tortilla chips and salsa, which was pretty tasty. It's not too hold, more of a mild salsa, so everyone can enjoy it. I also ordered the horchata, which was really good! Nice and sweet and not too watered down like some other horchatas I've tried. I got the shrimp ceviche (ceviche de camaron) and they were so good! Everything tasted so fresh with some nice size shrimp. My fiancé loved her birria tacos and they were drenched with the oil and consume. I tried a little bit of it and thought it was tasty, just a bit too overwhelming with the oil for me. The place is a bit expensive and they charge you for sides such as rice and beans and even for water. They don't have water in a glass, but will sell you bottles of water. Overall, the food and experience were great! read more

Disappointed that the tacos we wanted to order were only available in a dinner- some people don't eat all that other stuff. The Birria and the shrimp tacos specifically. Also, only have big bottles of water for purchase- would not give a glass of water. They would rather loose the business of 2 dine in customers plus a tip than serve only tacos. We ended up leaving even tho we wanted to try it. read more

Very slow service. Would not recommend. So many better places. Disappointed several times

Im not mad, but I was not provided extra toppings that I paid for. Still got love for you guys.

I ordered the birria because so many gave it great reviews. It was very good! I also ordered rice and beans which were excellent. I mixed them all together and added some of the dipping juice from the barrias. My husband had 3 regular tacos and said they were good. I learned from other reviews not to order water because I didn't want to pay 3.00 for a bottle-thank you for that. We shared a bottle of Coke and all was good! read more

Both dine in and take out are amazing! My wife and I are sticklers for good chips and salsa and they don't disappoint. The breakfast bowls and Quesabirria read more

Finally got around to trying this place, We picked up on a Friday night Son had a chicken burrito it was mediocre I had a Burrito Birria it was not very good and really boring. I didn't even eat 1/2 of it I also got a side of the rice & it was really dry without much flavor Well, We tried it once read more

Bright Cheery decor.Nice outside eating area. Service friendly and very helpful. There is a drive thru or you can order at counter and the staff will bring food to you. Extensive menu with lots of options.Kind of a chipotle feel with bright colors.We were given a huge bowl of chips with salsa.We split a pollo bowl and a cup of street corn. The street corn was sooo good.The chicken was very tender and the side of red sauce was really spicy good.I wish the Lime rice had more flavor.Note: they do not give you water you have to purchase bottles.Great location across from Library. read more

I have been here several times and have ordered carryout online and ate in with my family. Its not the cheapest but it is really good. I always get steak tacos. Out of 10 visits 9 of them were great. I'm still giving 5 stars but I did have a problem last time when the girl I placed my order with in the drive thru totally got it wrong. But that happens sometimes. I recommend not leaving until you check that they gave you what you ordered. Otherwise its very clean inside and friendly staff, good service, and great food. I recommend giving it a try if you like Mexican food. read more

Been here a few times now. Finally decided I better write a review. This is a small place, but the service here is great. They pay attention to their guests and are able to turn the tables quickly. I'm a stickler. I keep ordering the same thing and last night was no exception. I ordered my daughter the kids quesadilla. She is really picky, but in this case, she ate every bite. My wife and I shared the nachos with chicken appetizer, which was delicious, and the birria shredded brisket taco. My absolute favorite and this definitely didn't disappoint. We were stuffed. The only hiccup was when the server dropped off our margaritas, my wife and daughter were in the restroom so he said he would be right back. He forgot and I flagged him down to place our order. He apologized and all was good. When I asked for my check, they really pushed for me to get a desert. I refused and he brought me a check with two shots of tequila. I'm pretty certain he wanted to buy me a dessert as an apology, but since we were too full, bought me the shots instead. I'm a tequila snob and I can tell you that these were definitely not bottom shelf. Perfectly chilled and a nice end to a wonderful meal. I will be back and I highly recommend you try this place. I almost forgot, the margaritas are the best you will find anywhere. I had the regular and my wife has the mango read more

What stood out the most was the excellent service! Would definitely recommend Andale's to friends and family. Food was flavorful but careful with the sauces, some could be spicy! read more

My take on this new taco shop: a fresh, modern boutique restaurant with semi-authentic Mexican cuisine at semi-affordable prices. This is tiny place in a great location - near to the library and the town's main street. The parking lot is small and can fill up fast. You also have to be careful when walking into the building from the parking lot as you may be up against a line drive-through line en route to either the front or side entrance. Seating is open - you're welcome to sit anywhere you can (if dining in). We dine-in, and easily found an open table for 2 at 12:30 pm on a Saturday. The décor is modern and cohesive. It almost felt like a chain at first, but I think they just have some solid Marketing muscle behind them and it paid off! Lots to look at and enjoy while waiting for your meal. We were provided complimentary chips and salsa and all drinks are bottled including water which you have to pay for (obs). Alcoholic beverages including margaritas are available for purchase. Nice selection of salsas including two homemade ones. I ordered vegetarian tacos and they were mediocre. Side of beans and a side of rice are also additional costs - the tacos don't come as a single priced meal. Both the beans and rice were WAY to salty. After two bites of each I had to pass. I was also hoping for refried beans not black beans. We also got a steak and chicken taco - you can have these dressed up Mexican street taco style or more America with sour cream and shredded cheese. The option is nice. We did one of each and preferred the Mexican street taco style. They have a lot of customizable options [think Chipotle bowls or burritos] on the menu. A few breakfast options as well which was nice to see. Service was friendly and helpful. We didn't have to wait a long time for anything which was appreciated. Overall, I'd say it's worth a try especially if you favor more American style Mexican food. read more

Andale is a bit deceiving, it appears to be a fast-food "Taco Bell" style joint as you approach, complete with the drive up window and a limited menu with Chipotle style "build a burrito" dining. However, what makes this place different is the taste. The pros include prompt and courteous table service, incredible tasting burritos and tacos, healthy portioned and affordable ceviche and guacamole, and best of all, cold beer, margaritas, and shots of mezcal. The cons, the tortilla chips are straight from the bulk bag, the salsa tastes like it's straight front the can, and there aren't enough tables in the nicely decorated and clean restaurant to seat the demand. Overall, I'd say it is worth the visit, even though the burritos are $12, they are bien sabroso! As Taco-nator once said, "I'll Be Back"! read more

I'd like to formally apologize to Andale for not trying you sooner. Quesabarria is now my religion and I bow down to it. read more

Very underwhelmed by the birria tacos. They weren't crispy and there was only a very small half filled cup of consume. Their al pastor and steak tacos are just ok. They were kinda dry. Black beans were ok. Nothing was bad but nothing was great. Very lackluster especially for their prices. The Horchata was good. read more

Above and beyond the most underrated tacos around and for no reason! These are amazing and the staff is so friendly!

everything here is more than perfect! food, quality, service, music, price! love it! i wish i had one closer read more

Tried this restaurant today for the first time and it did not disappoint. My husband ordered their signature dish beef stew tacos and I ordered a carne asada bowl. The portions were a good size, the prices were fair and the food was delicious. We ordered a piece of flan for dessert and it was also deliciously huge portion. They are also open for breakfast and additionally sell alcoholic beverages. The owner visited our table to make sure we were satisfied with our meal and it was a good experience overall. read more

The best quesabirria around! The cochinita pibil tacos are also delish. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I took my girlfriend here, thought the place was a little small and crowded, the service was friendly, the food was hot and amazingly delicious. The quesabirrias are amazing. I would totally recommend this to anyone that is hungry and looking to get quessabrrias read more

I was there recently and loved it. The tacos are tasty and a nice size to pick up, not too big, and that way I could try different styles. Guacamole is very fresh and a good serving size for 2. Great Margarita and super nice and helpful staff. This is a wonderful addition to downtown Sycamore. Very nicely decorated as well with bright warm colors. read more

Cool place that I will revisit often. Table service, beer, cocktails, and terrific food. The staff is awesome. Service is quick and pleasing. The food selections are great. Our party of 6 was seated immediately and made to feel very welcome. It was nice to see it busy, and with the service and food it will stay busy. I can see myself using the drive through too. You owe it to yourself to give this friendly place a try. read more

Great food and great service / a great addition to all the terrific eating places of Sycamore. I'd recommend dining in for the first time or two get get acquainted to their menu. Great vibe / ambiance - job well done read more

I bounce all around the DeKalb and Sycamore area for Mexican food. It took me awhile to try this place--but after trying different items I decided I have to write some reviews about this place and share the good news ! When I went thru the drive thru the first time, I mentioned I finally got around to traveling to the east side of Sycamore to try them and they gave me a menu which I keep in the car. When I'm over that way, I have to stop in or drive thru and try a new menu item each time. I have never been disappointed ! All items have been fresh, prepared quickly, and are delicious. The atmosphere and service is so very friendly. It's a place I'll keep visiting. I rarely write reviews, but man, when we get a delish place like this, let's patronize them and keep them around for years to come ! read more
