Usually the food is very good, but seriously, tacos without lime?? I thought they were supposed to have lime to taste better.

I got a Tri dinner and a supreme Nachos to go. Food is great! But the online payment service is not pretty convenient. One cannot pay directly online while having to go there to pay instead. The serving is good tho. read more

The transformation of this local institution is impressive. The lengua never disappoints, the shrimp diablo is fire and delicious. Service was excellent , our host Rudy(I think that was it) was very friendly and I can't wait to get back. Totally a different scene. read more

Better communication. Charging for extra food that wasn't ordered. Very disrespectful and rude. When calling to do a price check and still charging me more than they said. read more

This is a review for the Burritoville Food Truck My wife surprised me with a big party for my 50th birthday. She hired the Burritoville food truck to serve food at the party. They were on-time and very friendly. The food was very good too. Tacos, burritos, nachos, torts and more. There were about 45 people at the party and everyone loved it. We will definitely use them again later this summer for our neighborhood block party. read more

Burritoville - Mexican Near Me - Dekalb, Illinois

Great food. We have ordered from here for years. Always good food. Great prices and they are open late.

We've been going here for years and the food is always great. The staff is always friendly. Prices are fair. Their salsas are great and I love the peppers and vegetable garnish they bring. Chips are fresh too. No negatives at all except I wish they were located in my town since I drive 45 minutes to eat their food. I highly recommend this place! read more

RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL AFTER GETTING MY ORDER WRONG! I ordered a steak burrito, steak cheese beans and rice only, I told the order taker 3 TIMES no lettuce and she informed me it does not come with lettuce which was good to hear. I get my food home and it is filled with lettuce. I called and was very respectful because I'm someone who understands aggression and anger gets you nowhere in life even if you have been done wrong. The owner told me very rudely you will have to pay again because the lady who took my order didn't say no lettuce. I tried to dispute the claims and he hung up in my face. I drove back up there with the food (which I did NOT take a single bite of) and the owner aggressively told me it was my fault and tried to reach for the bag saying do you want another. I said no I want my money back because you hung up in my face. He says fine you can have it back while still telling me it was my fault sayin the burrito comes with lettuce you didn't say no lettuce. I looked at the lady and said did I not tell you no lettuce??? She says while he standing there "I told you it doesn't come with lettuce". I look at him and said she just said it doesn't even come with lettuce, you are lying. He looks stunned because he was caught in his lie then literally SNATCHED the bag out of my hand and stormed to the back, opened the burrito and looked at it I assume to make sure I didn't eat any of it. Please town of Dekalb, Illinois, DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. I just moved to this town and it was a horrible introduction to the service of the restaurant business here. Awful experience. read more

The owner of this place really knows what he is doing. The food is excellent. I got a tostada and I think it's the best one I have ever had. I also loaded up my tacos with whatever extras they offer and I cannot recommend it enough. Spectacular. read more

Burritoville - a table full of food in a warehouse - Mexican Near Me - Dekalb, Illinois

Ordered some tacos dorados and got Ortega taco shells. Chicken was alright, taco al pastor was not good. Had some steak tacos as well in which the tortillas were hard not steamed in a sense. This place was our go to Mexican restaurant. Unfortunately it had gone downhill. We won't be going back $ 25 is too much for such crappy food. Waitress was ok. read more

Great food. Fairly priced and great staff. Fast service and never an issue with ordering. Delivery, takeout and dine in are all great

Good tacos ( steak are a favorite!) & good Jamaica drink & the horchata! Don't get me started !!! DELICIOUS!!!

The environment always seems fun and friendly and food is definitely tasty only small complaint is it is pricey for basic Mexican food.

I was a bit reluctant to take some clients here based on the reviews but I found the food and service to be excellent. They brought out some chips and two types of homemade salsa along with some spicy pickled vegetables and took our drink order. The salsa were both very good with one being milder and the other having a rich, spicy, smoky flavor. The pickled carrots and jalapenos were outstanding, plenty of heat and a nice herby/vinegary flavor. For my lunch order I had one al pastor, one barbacao and one fried fish taco. All three were served on double corn tortillas and were dressed with minced cilantro and onion. The barbacao and pastor were fantastic, the barbacao had plenty of slow cooked filling that was thick and rich while the pastor was slightly crispy with a complex flavor, just how they should be. Prices were good for what we ordered and our server was very friendly. read more

Burrito was wack, steak was terrible quality and unseasoned. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is for the benefit of the doubt that other menu items of theirs are better. I actually only even ended up here because I thought it was the taco place across the street that I looked up. read more

This place had three strikes on our first visit. The third is the one people should focus on. The price for each of our lunch meals on their website was $6.49; however, when we got there to pick it up, the price they charged for each meal was $8.83. No correction. No apology. They said, that's the new price. Nothing we can do. TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH. This place is criminal and should be boycotted because of it. My thought is, What other laws are they breaking? Health codes?? No thank you. read more

This is a great authentic Mexican restaurant close to NIU campus. I like that it's a sit down place and they come and take your order and bring you chips and salsa right away. The amount of salsa they give you is barely enough for the amount of chips they give, but it's free so you can't complain too much. They food comes out very quick and they have a taco Tuesday deal! read more

Burritoville - Tacos, rice and beans, chips and salsa! #TacoTuesday - Mexican Near Me - Dekalb, Illinois

Although I had been coming here for a number of years the policies have lately changed. Now they charge a percentage fee for using plastic. The policy is very deception if you read the notice at the cashier counter. This, along with the quality of the food going down has made me no longer want to patronize them. read more

Best mexican food in DeKalb! I love burritoville. Owners are local and they care! The food is outstanding. I try to visit several times per month. They use fresh ingredients and I have never had a bad meal. The staff is friendly and attentive. Free chips and salsa while you wait. Jukebox is loaded. Try everything you won't be disappointed!! Hands down best Mexican food in town. read more

Food an staff are garbage . Me and my son went there to eat they skipped us didn't bring us chip had to go to counter to order buh they were serving other even one that just came in if they wanted or looked like they drink. Modelo read more

It's good if you order it drunk or for delivery so you can fix the flavor! I ordered the Sopa de Mariscos and that was overly salty, yuck! I added water at home and put some limes in there and it was much better. I ate it with the corn tortillas stuffed with beans and rice and it was yum the next day. If I had been there I would have poured the ice water in the soup. Next, the ceviche tostada was GROSS, I want my money back! I loved the shrimp tostada. Maybe I can get that again and I'll bump up the stars :D The taco de lengua was too fatty this time, I used to go there when I was 22 so hahaha 15 years ago after the clubs or so called Amnesia and before after parties and yes the place was on point. The lengua has changed. SO, go for the shrimp tostada with crema! That's it or order for delivery so you can suite up the flavors! read more

I love Burritoville in DeKalb, IL! This place has been a DeKalb stable for the 20+ years that I have been in the area. They are open later than most other restaurants in the town also and they serve beer and have a touchtunes jukebox. Oh yeah, the food is authentically awesome AF! read more

Torta dinner with beans n rice, both of which were gross AF, I'm not one to pass in beans and rice at all, they found the garbage. The Tortola was tolerable because I was hungry, thank god for hot sauce otherwise bland and boring. read more

Good spot for cheap and tasty Mexican food with a good number of vegetarian options! Personally I get the Veggie A combo and they never skimp out on avocado. Recommend! read more

Check your orders, they screw up A LOT!! Save your money!!!!! Inspect your orders, or they'll blame for their screw-ups, expect you to to fix it What I don't like is when I place a order for chille relleno's and in the description it states you get 2, I expect 2!! I paid for 2. I questioned the man on the phone, be couldn't give me a answer, so I knew what to expect. They don't care Again tried this place BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!! Said no rice ( I'm allergic to it) . I get home and there's double rice, no beans.. WTF people?? So today I order a taco salad and a fajita meal. In the bag there was a taco salad. The fajitas meal was to be taken to work, but something told he to look. Surprisingly no rice. I made the guy behind the counter check. But, now, no taco shells. I called the guy made a snotty remark, and suggested I drive back there to pick up shells. THIS IS THEIR MISTAKE, and should fix it!! This place is so inconsistent each time I/we have been here. I also found out they pass the credit card fees to the customers who pay by any credit/debit cards. Those are their fees for the company allowing them to use their machines. I will NOT be going back here. Check your food and check it before you leave, they don't care about customer service, by the tone in the young guys voice. It tried to blame me for their mistake read more

My first time here was just a few days ago. My parents raved how it was better than Taco Bell and just as good as every Mexican restaurant in town. Yet, the food was not worth the money. While I'll give them kudos for big portions, that's about all I enjoyed because I took the rest home for my dad's lunch the next day. The quesadilla was way more greasy than I'm used to eating. In fact, it was a struggle finishing just one portion of the quesadilla. The chips had a bit of grease but not as bad, but this place doesn't even have a real cheese dip. The waiter brought out nacho cheese. After she dropped off our food we never saw her again until the bill. No check backs, no refills. Don't worry Burritoville. I won't be back. read more

I mean it's drunk person food. You eat what you get. You shouldn't expect more than that.

We moved to Dekalb last August 2017, we are always trying new restaurants, my husband was hungry and checked the restaurants around , he was happy that they close at 3am, he ordered and the food was pretty good, we live only 2 blocks away, we were ordering every week, my husband have that if he likes a place he becomes a regular customer, they started messing up on the orders, we will have to always call because they will not have the order right, finally we stop ordering, it was a while and we said let's try it again, what a mistake I am Hispanic from Costa Rica and I know how to make ceviche, is a traditional dish in our Country, at first when we started to order it was good, then they stop been good not fresh and they never put jalapenos to the ceviche today we order and the ceviche was full of jalapenos as you can see on the pictures, I call them up to ask and they are such a liars, the lady who answer said they always make that way when is a lie, I had it before, then she says oh I am going to ask the cook, then she says oh no he says he didn't put any peppers, well there you go they are there, had ceviche in many other places they never put any jalapenos or hot sauce unless the customer order that way, the fish is as puree, you cant tell if is fish or what, what a way to impressed good customers we will order even twice a week, we got the message you don't want us as customers, rasist thinking that I am American because I don't look Indian or dark skin, horrible, I will contact Ice to see if they even have papers, that food is a disgrace, and they know us too, horrible. read more

Honestly this place only survives because of it's location right next to all the NIU greek houses and partly apartments. It's always packed late an night with drunk hungry college kids, but I was at NIU for 4 years and never knew anyone who would eat there sober. There are better Mexican eateries in the area with low prices like El Burrito Loco or Tacos Salsas Y Carnitas. Also, be careful as the staff is not above overcharging the occasional drunk or two... read more

I absolutely love Burritoville! Prices are certainly reasonable and the food is great. I always get delivery and they're always honest if the wait is going to be awhile. I even had them cater a friend's birthday party earlier this year! read more

Sadly like any other place, people never seem to voice when they have a good experience, but if they aren't quite satisfied they are very anxious to voice a negative opinion.. so I decided to jump on here today to give my take on local food / entertainment / etc... I have been living on and off in Dekalb my entire life.. I'm what they often call a "townie of dekalb"... I have been to Burritoville more times then I will ever recall.. I even have a record of the most taco's ever ate in a single sitting there (which is 36 btw)... Burrivoville is by far my favorite place to get authentic Mexican food. Rudy (owner) has devoted much energy to keeping the quality up product up. The one down side to this place for me is service.. especially on the delivery side if you don't speak Spanish... I've had multiple issues with delivery, but never dissatisfied with a visit in person. LOVE Burritoville.. in fact, I'm about to order food from them now just, just thinking about it makes me crave it! read more

This place was great and authentic. Salsa options were fantastic. Chips were great. Portions are huge. They have good vegetarian options. Only downside was the lady read back my order to me multiple times, with no mention of black olives, yet mysteriously, my burrito was riddled with black olives. read more

Everyone always talks about how great this place is after a night of drinking. Well, people, it is an amazing place to eat any time of the day. The service is great during the day. You come in, sit down, and get free chips. The waitresses are really friendly. Meals are inexpensive. This is just great authentic Mexican style food. Hit it up during the day, you'll be surprised. read more

There are two groups of people who go to Burritoville. The first group are the students who sometimes come for lunch but more often come when the bars are closing and they are looking for Burritos and Nachos. These students will order steak burritos, chicken burritos or even a burrito filled with French Fries. However, those Mexican families and other foodies in the know recognize that on Friday-Monday, Rudy is ready with an array of foods that includes oysters, whole red snapper, tilapia, robalo (snook), octopus, squid, and the best Tacos Al Pastor that I have tasted from California to Florida. Order some chilled raw oysters that are covered with a mix of shrimp, octopus, peppers in a vinegary marinade. Perhaps you should try the Hauchinango, a whole red snapper deep fried and covered in a spicy sauce. Besides the seafood you can find half a chicken marinated for two days and prepared on a grill or some extra large steak tacos also prepared on the grill. If you are not adventurous you will stick with the combination plates, tortas, tacos and burritos. However, if you are interested in authentic Mexican cooking by people who care about their food, try some of the weekend specials. read more
