Apple Pay? Yes please. They've leveled up since my last review. Food is fast and good and priced well. Been a few years since we've been here. Son was a baby and now he's a big boy! He enjoyed the tacos and burrito and a serving of beans. Burrito is nice and big and very filling and tasty. Will be back. There's some searing but it's pretty small space. When you eat in, they give you chips and 3 types of salsa at your table. You order at the counter but they deliver your food at the table. read more

Stopped in here late night as it was the only thing open at 1am on a Tuesday night Wednesday morning. I grabbed a carne asada taco and a vegetarian burrito. The carne asada taco had a generous amount of meat but was caught off guard by the lettuce, tomato, cheese and such toppings. I was expecting meat, onion, and cilantro. I got the meat cheese and lettuce. Again ample meat and good flavors. Perfect accompaniment to the burrito. For the burrito I really just wanted bean and cheese but you have to buy the vegetarian and pay a higher price then take off all the toppings. No simple bean and cheese option. The burrito was hot and well seasoned. Honestly very delicious all around and the sauce just adds another layer of perfection. The staff was friendly and fast, I couldn't ask for anything else. This would be 5 star all day if they would have a slightly cheaper "bean and cheese" option for burritos. read more

This is our "go-to" restaurant after a Cubs win, even though the establishment lies next to a noisy EL stop. The staff is friendly and patient as we sort through the food options. The tacos are delicious. The chips come with three tasty sauces. The cost of a lunch is reasonable. Try it! read more

I'm in Chicago once a week, and this place is pretty close to where I stay. Its pretty tasty and I can get in and out in under 10 minutes with my to go order. My go to is the chicken quesadilla. It's full of shredded chicken and fills me up. The place isn't very big and I've never stayed and eaten inside, but there are a few tables. read more

work in the area and I went to Subway across the street. There machine was down and taking cash only. So I went across the street . I ordered two burritos. Upon taking my first bite I could tell the grade of beef was not very good. I added salsa to get better flavor and the green salsa was light green and not spicy at all. Tasted like cold water. So they are even skimping out on the salsa by water it down. My two burritos has avocado and sour cream. My total for two small burritos with unflavored carne asada and watered down green sauce $28.70. Wth. You be the judge. Next time Im going to La Biznaga on Broadway. read more

Used to think this place was very subpar but the past 2 times I've been, I really enjoyed it. I think the food can be a little oil-y occasionally but it depends. I also got an Al pastor taco but forgot the photo, which was great with their green salsa! Workers are great here and love to crack jokes with you. Atmosphere here is great and you can see the people grilling actively. The quesadilla is actually huge compared to what I think you'd get at a normal restaurant. Very cheesy & lots of meat, so if that's your mojo, I'd go-jo read more

My favorite burrito in the city. I don't know what they do or how they do it, but I'm glad they do whatever they do to make these burritos. I can say that the tortillas are wrapped tight and grilled to perfection. The ingredients taste fresh. And get this: their beans and rice are delicious. These items are usually afterthoughts for Mexican restaurants. I've been to "high-end" Mexican joints before that had tasteless and bland rice and beans. Not here. These guys are the best. They're right under the Red Line stop at Addison, too, so their location couldn't be sweeter. read more

What a great location for a quick game day meal to go or eat in. We wanted something quick to grab and go so we went with a chicken tamale and asada taco. The tamale masa is moist and the chicken is good. Feel like some Mexican food for the game? Stop here and give them a try. Happy to report that the tamale is good! They wrapped everything nicely with extra napkins and two forks and a knife. I appreciate this level of care. I wish that I had ordered a burrito because we can only eat so many Chicago dogs. We walked right over from the train station. read more

Right by Wrigley; stopped in for a quick bite before the game. Service was prompt and fast. Ordered the steak burrito and it was ok....hits lacked a good seasoning flavor. Not much cheese or beans in the burrito. My order did come with complimentary chips and (3) types of salsas. Those were all real good. Place is clean....and a nice little cute place. read more

I noticed as other white customers left they were giving the have a nice day. My last time. No have a nice day for me after spending money. None of the black customers got the have a nice day!

Asked to substitute rice and beans with fries. Guy said yes. The food came out 2 minutes later and it had rice and beans with it. When I told him, he said no substitutes and that he couldn't hear. Lie. They just didn't want to fix their mistake. read more

Best drunk 2am burrito spot in the neighborhood! Dining area is a little outdated but food is good

This place is nasty beyond belief. They mopped the floors, then grab your food. They count the money then grab your food. They clean the tables and grab food. They stock the fridge with beverages then grab your food and one thing they don't do is wash their hands and I just walked out. All of this is my fault because I was warned now I'm warning you. As I was venting to a stranger, they told me more things about the restaurant that I won't mention because I didn't witness it for myself. read more

I LOVE this place. I have passed by El Burito so many times and never went in. Well, Im glad I did. I was running errands and decided to get off the Addison redline stop. This place is small, quaint and quiet. The gentlmen behind the counter were so nice and friendly. It was very clean and organized. I placed my order and sat at my table. I was so surprised to have the cook bring me chips and salsa ,at not charge. I ordered Beef Nachos. The nachos were so DELICIOUS. So cheesy, full of beef and lots of chips. Not greasy at all. The menu was HUGE and has something for everyone! PROS: Food was great Large menu Clean Staff was so friendly Great Prices Not greasy CONS: I wanted more, but to full. read more

Nice quick lunch before the cubs game! A group of 7 of us came by for a quick lunch! This place was great! My wife and I shared the 3 tacos dinner with 2 chicken and 1 Al pastor with rice and beans! If you dine in you also get free chips and salad! The chips were just ok nothing impressive! The salsa was pretty good! The mild is the best! The rice and beans were excellent! The tacos were all authentic, fresh and delicious! We definitely recommend this joint for a quick lunch before any cubs game! read more

Asked for light cheese and they loaded it with cheese.The food was soggy and way too greasy.

I ordered the burrito de lengua and a taco al pastor. Both were amazing. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. This is right by a cta redline stop, a very good location. Try it if you are ever in the area in Chicago! read more

How the heck does this place have such a high score...The food is beyond mid. I'm being nice by giving 2 stars and that's for all the ingredients being so fresh. Let's go down the list of all the mediocre things I purchased here. 1. Chicken Burrito...dry and flavorless...Taco Bell could make a better Burrito...Half was eaten and the other half into the trash can it goes. 2. Skirt steak dinner for a little over 20 bucks...Meat was greasy and gross with weird texture and this is a dish i adore...Meat was thinner than beef jerky just not as good as beef jerky and once again flavorless except for the taste of grease...The only saving grace was fresh avocado and lettuce and spanish rice wasn't half bad. 3. El pastor tacos...dry and pretty much flavorless pork...I needed a glass a water to get this down my throat...if it wasnt for the taste of cilantro and onion this would be dead on arrival. I will say the look of the taco makes you think it will be amazing until you take a bite...lol Overall I won't be back...Maybe I caught this place on a bad day or something or judging from the crowd if you are coming in from all the many bars around being drunk is probably the best way to enjoy this food. You've been warned. read more

When I entered the restaurant the instant aura I got from it were of high quality. I was greeted by friendly staff who helped me get my food fast. The tacos were amazing! Good flavor with a great green salsa. The quesadilla was a bit bland for my taste but overall not bad. read more

So I'm in Chicago visiting my close friend Rick. You might have heard of him from my other reviews. I'm already on mental overload seeing all the beautiful architecture and eating the amazing food in this city. We were on our way to a Cubs game when Rick recommended this Mexican place right near Wrigley field. I'm extremely biased when it comes to breakfast burritos. I'm from Los angeles. We do breakfast burritos the right way. I always contended that there was no way Chicago could have comparable Mexican breakfast burritos to LA. Rick just said wait till you get here. We arrived at El Burrito Mexicano an hour before the game and ordered two chorizo breakfast burritos. We took them to the stadium and found a great place with an awesome view to enjoy what would turn out to be a quite delectable breakfast treat. As I commenced eating this burrito I was pleasantly surprised. The chorizo was extremely flavorful and mixed well with the cheese, rice, beans, and sour cream. My first impression was that everything indide worked really well and was extremely tasty. When I drizzled both the green verde salsa as well as the more spicy red salsa on each bite, the flavors enhanced and the spice to zest ratio was off the charts. Begrudgingly, I started to concede that the Mexican breakfast burritos in Chicago were indeed as good as the ones in Los Angeles. Shayna, I agree that this place is pretty epic. For anybody reading this review, stop by Wrigley a few minutes before the Cubs game starts and get a delectable piece of Chicago Mexican cuisine. read more

Got the torta lengua. Very fast service. Actually spicy salsa roja. Close to home and the L. Will be back! read more

Ehhhh is all I can say about this place. Honestly, there are way better places in Chicago for Mexican food, but if you are immediately in this area near Wrigley Field, I guess this works? The pros are, location and hours. They are literally right under the Addison L station, so this place is very easy to get to. They are also open really late on the weekends (not sure of their week hours), so if you're leaving a bar/club in Wrigleyville, Boystown, etc you have a place open at 3am that is not McDonald's or Taco Bell lol. That's why we came here. Our experience with the cashier was nice though. It was refreshing to speak to him in Spanish considering the demographic of the area, lol. Would I come back? Well, if it's 3am and I have the drunchies? Sure. But never intentionally would I go here during normal day hours. read more

Great pricing, delicious pastor tacos, friendly crew. Big thumbs up! And I forgot to mention the Diet Coke was ice cold and tables were cleaned regularly. We will definitely be back! read more

I just stopped in here with my boyfriend on the way to the CTA because the smell of them cooking was too good to resist. We came earlier in the morning around 11, there was no one else there but the staff was nice and they got our food out to us super quick! We each tried one taco, the pollo and the carne asada. Meat was tender and delicious and they gave us some free spicy sauce. Best taco I've had in a long time. read more

In my opinion, this is the best Mexican restaurant in Chicago. Very fast service, great staff, everyone food! I go here all the time.

Was told this is the best tacos in wrigleyville, but the service this young man provided was less than perfect. First he couldn't give the lady in front of me the correct change he then proceeded to give her an attitude for correcting him on the change. He was very aggressive and rude. Even if the food is delicious his attitude is enough to turn anyone around. If you see this man proceed with caution. Also if these are the best tacos in Wrigley... Wrigley needs to do better. The tacos lacked flavor. They were greasy. Just mediocre. read more

Prices are insane and have gone up tremendously. Charging $3.50 for two sides of sour cream is ridiculous .

Great spot and was my go to for the better part of a year. The carne asada burrito was amazing, service is great, and not that expensive. I'd definitely recommend. read more

El Burrito Mexicano is on Addison just to the east of Wrigley Field and the Red Line stop on Addison. I met my friend, her husband & one of her sons there just before the game to grab a bite to eat before the game. We all grabbed a few tacos. I ordered 3 steak tacos, they were very good. The meat was very lean cut into tiny pieces were seasoned very good. They were cooked in such a way that they had a crispiness to the meat that gave it nice texture with each bite. I really enjoyed them and will go back when I'm in the area next time. Who knows WORLD SERIES? Is it 108 years already? read more

Amazing food! Authentic, fast, very reasonable price (especially for Chicago) but the quality of food is not compromised! Would definitely come back again. Not a lot of space to sit, especially for groups larger than 4-5. Just a heads up, 4% additional charge for credit card use. read more

Right near the Addison CTA train station on our way back to the hotel. Was hungry for a late evening dinner and decided to stop in. Was craving some tacos and they had hard shelled. Not bad, but the shells were store bought and not home made "tacos dorados". Pricing is moderate as you could tell they changed all of their pricing by their wall menu. Limited seating so you might have to opt for take out when it is busy. read more
