I wanted to like this place, it's so close to home and i love tacos, but nope. I got steak tacos to go. they come with lettuce, cheese, and tomato i think? i added cilantro and onion and was told it would be an extra charge. that's fine. i waited a little for my food, checked out the salsa bar, looked interesting. when i got my food she asked if i wanted mild or hot salsa. i picked hot and after she walked away realized i should have asked for a container to get the green salsa at the bar, but oh well. once i got home and ate my tacos i realized i definitely should have asked for the salsa. the meat didn't have any real flavor to it. this place definitely fit my "bigger isn't better" thoughts on taco places. it filled me up but i don't ever see myself going back here. very americanized chain. read more

This place is not authentic Mexican food. I rather go to El Burrito or Cilantro in Addison.

First I have been going to this restaurant since it opened - but yesterday was my last as I had gone 10 miles on my bike to eat a late lunch at 1:30PM. Place was dead and I put my bike next to a vacant table (only 2 other patrons in the whole place) ordered my food and sat down when this manager came up and she told me to move my bike out. I told her that there was no rack or any place to put it and asked if I could just keep it next to me for this time she said no as it is a restaurant and to move it. I complied and went outside (50 degrees it was) since my bike cost me over $ 1,500 and ate outside - as alone my bike was not going to be. She was such a snot nosed witch with no people skills that I will never go there again, it ruined my lunch and just made me so angry - and all for going out to lunch at her shop! read more

Love their guacamole here too bad the chips are extra. The food is completely tex mex and what i have tried has been good but the prices are a little up there. The restaurant itself is pretty big, nice decor and they have a small salsa bar. I have never had an issue finding parking either. read more

I expected lot more from this highly tauted taco joint. It was cold and dirty. Service was pretty good but the sloppy tables and left over lettuce on my tray made for a horrible impression. Don't see a big reason why I would come back so I offer that to you...they don't seem to take pride in perfection. Go to the next taco taquieria because they just don't seem to care very much. They get their office crowd but no pride in being awesome! read more

Translates to bland flavorless pretend to be Mexican food! Worst Burrito suizo I've ever had! Never going back! Tastes like boiled chicken lettuce and sour cream in a tortilla ! Taco Bell has more flavor! Quick RUN FOR THE BORDER! read more

It is impossible for them to get an order correct. I have given them 3 chances in the drive thru and they always send me the wrong food out. I'm done! read more

Love this local spot. Good food, good service. Wish they were open later to hit up after a long night. Everything is good. Love the steak burritos, awesome taco salad, great tacos. A good idea to call ahead for pickup and you get your food thru the drive thru window. read more

I was feeling a little underwhelmed by the reviews I read on this place, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Decided on the Steak Taco Salad and Horchata. By no means is this "authentic" Mexican food, but it ranks up there with Chipotle and Moe's. I was very pleased with my selection. The taco salad had a TON of steak on it. Great portion, decent price, and the drive-thru is a pretty sweet option. I waited no more then 5 minutes for my food. I will definitely come back! read more

The enchiladas were pretty good, very hot and had lots of shredded chicken and sauce, and that's coming from a person who considers herself a Mexican foodaholic. The Spicy Chicken taco salad was a lot of food for the price, but there was too little spice to it. This was a prime example of a ton of lettuce and some other stuff thrown on top. Also, when you have a specialty salad on the menu, usually there is a specialty dressing to go along with it...not here. Overall an okay experience, but I'll stick to my southside taco joints, thanks. read more

I'm going to pump this place up a little bit but at the same time I gotta tell the powers that be (if they're reading this), that there are plenty of other Mexican restaurants with more than 2 1/2 or 3 stars in this area. One thing I would suggest is to put chips out by the salad bark. You shouldn't have to pay extra for chips when you've got a salsa bar. The chile relleno was good. The red sauce was great the green sauce was great. The place is clean & the staff is nice. One more suggestion would be to offer a bean chimichanga. read more

I did a drive thru this time. Service was quick even though just a few cars ahead of me. Shredded chicken tacos was my choice. The chicken was tender with just the right amount of juicy. Fresh veggies and flour shell. I went with mild salsa when asked, which was very mild. No zing at all. Good overall! read more

The food here is always good. I usually stick to the 2 taco plate, and it comes to the table within 2-3 min! So quick. I also love the fresh salsa bar. Not authentic Mexican, I don't even think anyone here speaks Spanish, but they still have good food read more

Waited about 30 minutes for a chicken torta and 2 ground beef tacos. The manager made it seem like it was our fault for the food we ordered. After getting back to the office and unwrapping my order, I come to find I received the wrong food. Ugh! The food is tasty but the service was awful. read more

I am a fan of the food here. The drive thru does take a bit of time but I think that the food makes up for it. I usually get the enchiladas platter and it has yet to disappoint. read more

Update: We catered a birthday party from Besa Mi Taco for 30 people recently and everyone absolutely loved the food! The quality is unmatached and beats expectations. Most importantly, the manager, Anna, is the nicest, most caring person who goes out of her way to make her customers feel at home and feel like family. We love this restaurant and everyone should give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

I visit here on occasion whenever I'm in the area. They have been consistently good with the items that I have ordered. My favorite is the Grilled Chicken Burrito. What I like is that it isn't too spicy so you can modify it to your liking. I have never had a bad experience and the food comes out very promptly. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a decent, quick meal. It's a fast food style restaurant that doesn't have servers. They do have a drive thru if you are in a time crunch. I will keep eating here when I'm in need of a meal. read more

Not bad food for the price. I ordered the fajitas through the drive thru and by the time I got home everything was still hot. Nothing too special about the food itself. If you are looking for your typical local Mexican restaurant go here. read more

I went there last week with my family,we were not impressed with the food choice. Girl that worked at the register was really mean And not very professional. We had to wait more than 15 minutes to get a burritos. Will not go back. read more

We always relieve excellent service and the food is always tasty!! Love that they have loyalty reward for an extra bonus.

I think this is better than baja fresh. Good taste with out the greese of authentic Mexican food. read more

What you think is what you get. Real authentic food. Fresh and reasonable. Tamales are a 10!

I can't believe this place stays in business. The Manager is by far the worst restaurant manager on the planet. How he has a job in service, God only knows. He never welcomes you, never smiles, literally dumps your food on the table and walks away... he's miserable and for the owners to not read all the other bad Reviews and keep this guy running the business... yesh, go elsewhere. p.s. this little place could be such a great restaurant with new leadership... WAKE UP OWNERS AND GET A NEW MANAGER!! read more

They charge 30 cents for a cup of ice water. Seriously. What's next... Are you going to charge for plastic-ware and napkins? Left a bad taste in my mouth even though the tacos were good. read more

Pretty good place to eat at. The portions are way bigger than they appear on the menu. Very reasonable wait and flavorful. They even serve margaritas. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling through Itasca. read more

Great place for fast Mexican food. If you are looking for fast, don't even consider Taco Bell when you can come here. Quality is 10000000% better than Taco Bell. The tortas are delicious and the salsa verde is also very good. read more

I walked in and enjoyed the ambiance...not too busy and congested, but a good crowd of people and friendly staff. My cashier Olimpia was fantastic. She helped me pick out a dish I liked and the process was nice. The food was brought out by her and she was friendly throughout the transaction. Food was hot and good...would definitely recommend for some medium priced Mexican food. read more

Very disappointed. You have to pay extra for chips and salsa, and while there is a "salsa bar", they give you one small styrofoam dish for salsa. If you want additional types the only choice is little mini paper cups (like ketchup cups). The chips were bland and not warmed, and the regular mild salsa was soured and inedible. The quality of the food was less than mediocre, especially for the price, and the service was quite perfunctory. The margarita was a low quality mix, a wasted $5. Not a good experience at all. read more

Still looking for GOOD Mexican food. Stopped trying to find the best. This place is okay. Had one each of the ground beef, chicken, and steak taco. The steak taco was better than the ground beef. The ground beef tasted like it came out of a can. The chicken was too stringy. It looked yummy, but...At two bucks each, I guess you can't expect too much. A guy in the restaurant ordered a burrito. When the server delivered it, he said "I ordered a burrito". The server said it IS a burrito. I have never seen an open-faced burrito. I don't think it was a burrito. The guy sent it back. read more

Tasty tacos and salsas. For some reason the drive thru does seem to take longer then running in and carrying out. Staff is usually friendly and the food is good. read more

Okay, after reading these reviews I must think that the previous reviews are from individuals who don't know real authentic Mexican food. There is no way one could believe that Baja Fresh or a place like Chipolte comes even close......yes this is not upscale Mexican gourmet but is very good authentic Mexican at extremely reasonable prices! Oh....and the most important point , if you truly know and like good Mexican once you have had their " Tacos Al Pastor" you will never go anywhere else for those...as far as I'm concerned Al Pastor tacos (marinated Pork) are the best tacos ever and this place makes them better than any other location in the Chicago land area!!! read more

Pretty good food, decent prices, however, no one ever seems to be in a rush. Not sure what that's about. I appreciate that it's authentic-ish mexican food with a drive thru read more

i should of listened to the bad reviews on here for this place....even El Burrito Loco is better than this place....I got my tacos and I've never seen so much grease on a taco before....the flour shell seriously was wet....I work down the street and I don't think I'll ever go here again. read more

I love this place. Chicken fajita plate is my fav! The meat is cooked perfectly and tender. Good ambiance and friendly staff. Good prices. Good salsa bar included! read more

For the second time in 2 weeks I went through the drive up and have received an incorrect order. A salad, no onions, ranch dressing on the side can't be that difficult, can it? The food is good here, but the help is something else. I'm not going there again. read more

My family and I used to be regulars here. We would come for dinner about once a week. You would think seeing the same people every week would prompt the manager to at least acknowledge you and say "hi". The food is ok... it was close to home and convenient. However, we have stopped going due to the poor service and poor management. I can only guess the manager is a relative because he has no personality and no business being a manager of a restaurant. read more

Enjoyable burrito but on the small side and a bit pricey. I like the taste of the steak though and the ingredients are fresh.

I've been coming here since they first opened yrs ago. My favorite is the grilled chicken tacos. Side of rice and beans. All at a very decent price. Absolutely a little not well known about gem. On the last few visits the quality has really bottomed out. The last time the tacos were cold and hardly any cheese on them. Smaller size also. Gonna be hard to find myself returning again. It's sad and I'm sorry to say Taco Bell now has you beat. read more

Yum! Very good not so authentic Mexican food. They have an great salsa bar with multiple selections. Also their queso is to die for! Decent food at a fair price. read more

Considering this is not technically a sit-down Mexican restaurant, the food is outstanding. For the same price, if not cheaper compared to Taco Bell, you get authentic food made quick to order. I usually get the corn tortilla tacos with beans instead of meat. They are very tasty and the hot salsa offered at the salsa bar is the best around. My husband will get the chicken quesadilla which is also unique and very flavorful. Another plus is that they have $3.50 frozen margaritas. I would not come here looking for a dinner date or sit-down restaurant style meal, but for a quick dinner or lunch it works very well. read more
