I used Yelp to help ;-) with our decision and El Barrio looked promising. It didn't disappoint. The place is a small, clean, plaza restaurant with a polite staff. The menu is typical for a Mexican restaurant and we ordered taco dinners (mix-n-match choice of meat, with rice and beans). We cleaned our plates satisfied and headed out. If you're in the mood for some Mexican food and are in the area, check out El Barrio's. Peace!

In picking our date nights, my wife and I alternate between trying new places and revisiting a dozen or so "greatest hits". If we find ourselves in the mood for tried-and-true margaritas, we'll come to this family-owned restaurant in Romeoville about a mile south of I-55 on Weber Rd. Their house chips & salsa are awesome--the green salsa is milder while the red salsa is hotter. You can get a large margarita frozen or on-the-rocks ($15), but expect them to be strong either way. My wife enjoys their Michelada ($9), a drink similar to a bloody mary that's made with beer instead of vodka. We always get the queso fundido con chorizo ($10.75), a marvelously greasy appetizer that comes with corn or flour tortillas. Sometimes our tummies are fine afterwards, sometimes the grease goes through us like an angry lightning bolt. It's so good I'll happily suffer the consequences the next day, IDGAF. Bread = 4.5 Circuses = 4.5 Tacos al pastor ($3.50/ea) get a thumbs-up, however the tampiqueña ($22) was a little disappointing. I know skirt steak is generally a tougher cut, but this was greyer and chewier than what I've gotten at other places. It was served with an enchilada, rice, beans, lettuce and tomato. The best thing on the menu is unquestionably the burrito suizas ($11), a gigantic 1-1/2lb burrito filled with meat, beans, veggies and sour cream with melted cheese on top. It's as tasty as it is massive and will feed a hungry person for two meals! Their vanilla flan ($4.50) is pretty good, too. * TL;DR * Burritos Mi Tierra is one of our favorite Mexican spots in the area, and the unexpected closure of Naperville's On the Border (R.I.P) means we'll probably come back here more often. Service has been consistent, the décor is cute, and their margaritas are some of the best around. Queso fundido and burrito suizas are standout dishes, authentic and fairly-priced. We hope these guys remain in business for a long time! Muy recomendable.

I usually get the taco plate, skip the beans and get extra rice. I would love if the platters came with chips, even just a few would be a nice touch. The elote is quite delicious, as well. I did notice that on my most recent trip it appeared the portion size was quite a bit smaller for everything I ordered. They amount of rice was pretty sad considering it was supposed to be double, my parents mentioned the burritos were noticeably smaller and the elote cup size changed, as well. I know food costs are at a high right now, but they already raised their prices so it was a bit frustrating to see them lower the quantity of food, too. Nonetheless, I'll still get my late night tacos here, but no longer consider this cheap. Love that this spot is open late night. They're also adding a stoplight by the intersection it's located so it will be even easier to access once that's complete.

Oooooh did we hit the jackpot last night! Our family was on our way to a restaurant in Orland Park…read morewhen we spotted this beautiful, colorful taco truck setting up in the parking lot across the street from where we intended to eat. We decided to check it out because it was a new and fresh option. Thank goodness we did! Holy Toledo these were THE BEST tacos we've ever had ever. BEST. Did I say BEST? Good. Lol.. meat was soooo tender, juicy, full of flavor, perfectly seasoned. Presentation was beautiful. They were overstuffed with meat and you certainly get what you pay for! We tried the chicken, steak, pork, and tongue tacos. All of these exceeded our expectations. Rice and beans, salsa roja and verde , as well as sautéed green onion bulbs that melted like butter on the side. Ooooooh it was so good my mouth is still watering. They decorated the taco truck so beautifully it was very fun and inviting. The people working were super sweet. I wish we could go back but I don't know where they'll be next! Which the only reason I couldn't give 5 stars! I am in love with these tacos but have no clue how to find the taco truck every night! But, thankful we found it last night. If you see this colorful taco truck driving around I highly recommend you follow them no matter what! Skip that work meeting, skip that baby shower! Follow that truck!

From the outside it looks very unassuming as it is tucked away in a strip mall. However, upon entry the restaurant is expansive and dimly lit. We later found out it doubles as a type of nightclub restaurant some evenings. Fun! Les was the bartender there that day, and she was so helpful and friendly. She advised what type of drink we should order according to our tastes and she promptly brought out chips and salsa. Beware of the super hot one, ha ha! I can handle heat, but this knocked my socks off! Les also allowed me to taste test a couple of various samples of different drinks in order to see what I would like. So friendly and professional! The margarita was delicious, I cannot refute that! A majority of the menu contained a lot of fish, hence the name of the establishment. However, since I do not eat fish there was only a quesadilla for me. I therefore did not order anything for myself, but got the children a fish and chips type of meal. They absolutely loved it! We will definitely return. The vibe is ultra cool there!

Someone must have taken a big dump in the restroom that made the whole place smell like poop. The music was so loud that I had to move tables to find a spot where my ears could bear the volume. While ordering the food, the person at the counter had no clue about the menu and couldn't answer any questions, also didn't care to check with another person working. Now coming to the food, I really liked the rice and beans. The tacos were OK but I was disappointed by the 2 salsa options. They tasted good while I was sampling them but didn't do anything when I added it to the tacos, so I had to over drench my tacos in the salsa. My stomach felt the heat, but my tongue didn't. My husband got a chicken bowl and said there was a funky smell that led him to speculate that there is a possibility of cross contamination of food in the kitchen. Over all, poor experience but I will try the same vegan tacos at a different location. My excitement of finding vegan tacos so close to my house has been dampened for sure.
