Favorite fast food in town. Located across the street from Taco-Hell, I haven't been back there since discovering this wonderful one stop shop. I haven't had a thing on the menu I didn't like. Pork tenderlone is the best in town. Chips and chese will change your view of cheese nachos. Both chicken and beef tacos rock! French fries are to die for. Horseshoe is killer. Infact I plan on getting one tonight. My favorite item on the menu, fish tacos. Available only on Tuesdays and Fridays but well worth the trip. I usually do the buy 5 get 1 free on these and eat them during the week. Great employees! Great food! I have zero complaints about this place. read more

Been here a few times and cannot recommend this place at all. Ordered a bean burrito and it had beef in it, my order was repeated back to me so somewhere between taking the order and making it there is a huge disconnect. Staff is friendly but the small portion sizes, high prices and lack of basic attention to detail make this place a fail. Would give zero stars is allowed. read more

The food was great, we got the food fast, but the portions were tiny. Same price as other places but 1/3 the size.

Me and my fiancé ordered from here we got some basic tacos but they had the best flavor and were built fantastically would recommend to anyone looking for Mexican food in Springfield read more

This place never disappoints. Love the fish tacos!! Today they accidentally gave me fries instead of fish tacos and when I called, Chad was very helpful and kind about getting me some tacos for next time I come in. Such a great small business. read more

My family is vegan so our choices for drive thru options are limited; however, we enjoyed going to Chaditos 1-2 times/week and getting corn tortillas with just rice and beans. The first handful of times we went to Chaditos and ordered this specific item we made it clear that we understand we are asking for a special item and are happy to pay any price to recieve the accommodation. Unfortunately, today we could overhear the kitchen employees complaining about our special request. "Is that on the menu? NO! How hard is it to just order oflf the menu.". My child was in the vehicle and had to overhear an adult employee degrade our families choice to be vagan. We wanted to support a local business and didn't feel asking for a taco with two ingredients would be such an inconvenience to the employees but since they made it clear our business is unwelcome, we will happily support the other businesses in town that are much more kind with their accommodations. read more

Where do I start? The taco burgers, tacos, taco salads and horseshoes are always amazing and fresh! If you love crispy French fries, they are the best you have ever had. I love everything about this place and their food. read more

my favorite of all the mexican american places in Springfield and the owner Chad and all the people that work there are all really cool and very friendly not feeling like Mexican well they also make a mean horseshoe its the best takeout horseshoe around just for the fact they put it in a foil pan with a clear top (I hate eating anything messy that you need to cut up out of styrofoam) Chicken dishes are great they use big pieces of grilled chicken spiced up just right Go there and tell em Bigred sent ya you'll see read more

We stopped at Chaditos on our drive home from Chicago. This was a nice treat, a step above fast food restaurant, where you don't have to drop a fortune or a lot of time. You can drive through or walk up to the counter. There is limited seating inside and a hand full of tables outside (perfect for us with our dog). We ordered a sampling of foods and shared. The portions are very generous. We had a beef taco, a bean tostado, a chicken supreme sancho and beef supreme tacos. Everything is made to order and delivered hot and fresh. They season the ground beef with lots of chili powder instead of lots of salt; very tasty! We thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The small order of nachos was huge. The sancho was probably my favorite, but everything was really good. I'd highly recommend this for a quick lunch when on the road. The burgers also looked really good! read more

Chadito's Mexican American Grill - Beef nachos supreme, this is a small order! - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

See all

They used to cater to my high school and I would always look forward to it!! Good American/Mexican street food :)

So terrible. In no world should it take three staff members 30 minutes for two burgers and two tacos when you're the only people in the establishment. Food was dipped in a vat of grease before serving, I think. Got overcharged. And it tasted awful. I really don't know how it could be worse than that. Avoiddddddddd. read more

First time in Springfield and we searched Yelp reviews and chose Chadito's. Excellent food, large portions but it took an unusually long time during a very quiet afternoon. read more

Food is great..... Clean..... Friendly...... Reasonable prices..... Will definitely be hitting this spot a few times a month. read more

For Athens location: One of the worst customer service experiences. I can deal with slow but the two staff members I encountered were very rude. There were also only two other people in there but they acted like they were swamped and we were a nuisance. Shrimp tacos were okay. Frozen popcorn shrimp with some pre-packaged shredded lettuce and cheese with their special sauce. Wouldn't return. read more

Went to the chadito's on Andrew road. This is our second time going there. First time, used the drive-thru and service was slow, didn't get half of what we ordered. Decided to give them another try but this time went in to order and take home. Server was rude and yet again, did not get our order right. Will not be going to this restaurant again. read more

I went through the drive thru at Chaditos today because I didn't have enough time to stop somewhere because I'd used up my lunch hour running errands. I was pretty skeptical of a place that has both horseshoes AND tacos on the menu but boy was I mistaken. Chaditos has awesome tacos!!! I tried a beef and a chicken, both were excellent but I'd definitely recommend the chicken over the beef. The tacos don't come with sour cream but add it - it's definitely worth a few extra calories. Chaditos is definitely better than Taco Bell and Taco Gringo, the other drive thru alternatives in town! read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. Pulled up to carry out with one car in front of me with no one behind me and the girl at the window took that order and simply shut the window. She could have EASILY taken my order and got both at the same time. It took five minutes to the complete the order and then I pulled up to the window, waited another minute and left. They must be flipping coins inside to determine when to open the window to the land of oz! bye bye. read more

Good food but portions very small compared to price. Will definitely stop by again just to see if I had a lazy cook. Tacos and nachos were good though read more

Food was cold. Lackluster service. Didn't get what I ordered. People outside were more helpful than those inside.

I've been living out of town for a couple years now and have not found a fish taco like the ones I used to loooove at Chaditos, so of course, getting one while back in Springfield was on the list of must do's. I realize it's a Friday in Lent so the demand for fish is high, but really they might as well called them lettuce tacos. In the past, I remember getting three fish strips in each taco. Today there was one measly fish finger and gobs of lettuce in each taco. Disappointing for sure. Not sure what was going on there today but I would have rather been told that were out of fish than have spent $7.00 on two lettuce tacos. read more

The best tacos in town. Even though the guy who served me looked like he was extremely high, the man knew how to make a burrito.

Good food, Good prices. Not great. they have horseshoes and pretty good tacos. I think they have a day where the tacos are super cheap.

I want to be fair .the man said they make most the food fresh. But I must say if your looking for real good Mexican food they are one step better than taco bell .they are a fast food place with a real chance to make food with more real Mexican ingredients like steak or chiuaua cheese .but it's the same old hit and get. The staff was friendly and the price was cheap.but you pay for what you get.this is Perfect if you don't like real Mexican food. Hopefully they change there menu a little and really bring authentic Mexican food.:] read more

I used to be a huge fan of Chaditos and would recommend them to anyone. In the last year or so they have really gone downhill. Prices have raised (but that's everywhere) however food quality and portion sizes have gone down. The cheese sauce isn't the same, the beef is greasier, the fish is almost always ridiculously overcooked. Employees are dirty and look like they don't bathe regularly and they are often rude. My most recent example is from today, I ordered a bean burrito. Chadito's used to have the best bean burrito in town, hands down. The last two times I have ordered this, it has basically been a flour tortilla filled with lettuce and one tiny scoop of beans. Complete rip off. Beans are cheap Chad, come on man... either put up or shut it up. When you were there everyday the place was awesome. I haven't seen you there in over a year and well... it's very likely that I will not be giving you another chance. I've been burned too many times, and your employees are rude. read more
