El Burrito Mexicano - This is my Chile Relleno and jalapeño & carrots, it is absolutely the best made perfectly. - Mexican Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

Excellent tacos here, I grabbed 2 to go, one chicken and one al pastor. Comes with lettuce, tomato, cheese. I had them add cilantro as well. The chicken was my favorite of the 2, great flavor. I'll have to try more stuff from here! It's a small place, tables along the wall, you pick up your order at the counter. read more

SOUR meat! This place is disgusting and I was actually served sour carne asada that ended up in the trash. I ordered 1 steak burrito and 1 al pastor taco. The burrito was rancid,I thought that maybe my taste buds were off so I let my partner try it and he immediately said "What did you do to this,stop ranking me",Gross steak,and even my 2 bites were full of gristle(see pic),so they use a cheap cut of sour meat. The Al pastor taco had no flavor in the meat,and was also full of chewy parts that were inedible,also ended up in the garbage. These reviews must be from people who don't know any better and that's sad. Don't waste your money here on cheap cuts of sour meat. read more

Everything. Food and service are great. Also the prices are very good. They do not disappoint

We've been coming to El Burrito for years and it's been consistently good. You order at the counter and take a seat if you can find one. It gets pretty busy at lunchtime. The restaurant itself is no frills, with mostly booth seating. The menu is in the wall and they offer everything you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. The Al pastor is awesome and my husband raves about the steak. My daughter loves the salsas and soaks her food in the red. The employees are kind, the food hot and fresh, and always delicious! read more

For $18 I got nachos and a picadillo burrito. Both were large and very good. I took the burrito home for the next day; I ate most of the nachos there because they're best hot out of the oven, and I ate the rest of them when I got home, adding white onion, green salsa, and sour cream - making the leftovers sort of like chilaquiles since the chips get soft by the time you get them home. The nachos were made with a melted white cheese - maybe Chihuahua - and there was plenty of that as well as plenty of refried beans and tomato, and a smallish amount of sour cream and guacamole. I asked for lettuce and was given a large amount of it - perfect. The burrito was mostly meat so at home I added lettuce, tomato, white onion, avocado, jalapeño, and sour cream. Compared to other restaurants of all types, this was the single best value I've had in recent times - terrific food at a terrific price! read more

This is my go-to Mexican restaurant for Lisle, IL. My typical order: *Tortas - pastor, no sour cream *Burrito - ground beef The portions are generous and the food is flavorful. Also I appreciate that the food isn't too spicy, but the sauces (which can be added as-desired) are spicy. Green seemed the spiciest and red was mild. If you dine-in, then you get free chips and salsa. The staff is friendly and it seemed family-owned/operated. We did takeout though my interactions with the staff made me wish we had dined-in. They were patient and helped explain the options. read more

This place is a dive. (Some might call it a dump.) cramped with no ambience. I don't think I would dine in unless I was drunk. But their burritos are thethe bomb. They' make the BEST burritos for miles and miles!!! I highly recommend this place for take out. You won't do better anywhere in the Naperville area. And don't be confused. The restaurant a block away with an almost identical name is a nicer place to sit down and eat, but their food doesn't hold a candle to this place. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. They never disappoint. I rarely eat in so it's 80% takeout experience

Date: 24-May-2024 Time: Late dinner Total (before tip): $12.06 Payment type: cash Server: Take out order Grade: A+ I was in the mood for some Mexican and it was very late, so I knew this joint would open and had decent food. I placed an order of a chicken burrito, I like mine with only rice, beans, cilantro, onion and sour cream, double wrapped in the burrito shells (trust me, you will never eat burritos the same way, if you have never doubled wrapped!). It didn't take too long for it to come out, so I was on my way home! I got home and it was still hot! The chicken was excellently grilled and all the components played well with each other! The sour cream gave a cooling effect to the salsa. It was a great burrito! Overall an A+ experience! Will definitely be back! read more

I love this place. Their steak and egg burritos are perfect in the morning. They're fast, good, and have reasonable prices. Favorite local Mexican place for sure, they're my go-to if I need a dinner plan on the go. read more

Good. Overpriced tacos for what you get. Paying 3.50 for a tiny street taco is excessive.

My wife and I used to go to ElBurrito about once per week to eat inside. The food was always good until on June 26 when our tostadas arrived at the table and all four smelled horrible. One taste and we confirmed the hard tostada shells had been fried in rancid oil. How the cooks didn't already know that by the sheer stink is beyond me. We handed the shells to both the cashier and to the two cooks who all smelled them, agreed, and then simply shrugged their shoulders. No apology, no making it right, and no refunds. It's now been three months later and neither of us have been back, nor do we intend to ever return. Mi esposa y yo solíamos ir a ElBurrito aproximadamente una vez a la semana para comer adentro. La comida siempre estuvo buena hasta el 26 de junio que llegaron nuestras tostadas a la mesa y las cuatro olían fatal. Una probada y confirmamos que las duras tostadas habían sido fritas en aceite rancio. Cómo los cocineros no lo sabían ya, por el simple hedor, no lo entiendo. Entregamos las conchas tanto al cajero como a los dos cocineros quienes las olieron, estuvieron de acuerdo y luego simplemente se encogieron de hombros. Sin disculpas, sin arreglar las cosas y sin reembolsos. Ya han pasado tres meses y ninguno de nosotros ha regresado ni tenemos intención de volver jamás. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the Lisle-Naperville area. I absolutely love their red salsa!!! It's so good and it makes the tacos taste so delicious! I always buy a large salsa whenever I stop by. Amazing! read more

My favorite authentic Mexican food on the planet! I live in ATL and travel to Chicago often, but I always head to Lisle for this gem!! Steak burrito, sour cream, extra cheese no tomatoes! read more

I've been going to El Burrito for over 35 years. I've had problems with mistakes in my order for at least a year. My last 3 orders were either incorrect or forgotten items! Tonight, I placed an order for 3 tacos and multiple sides and salsas. When I got home, I discovered I was missing 3 items. When I called them, I requested my tacos be remade since they'd be cold by the time I picked up my missing items. They did that. I picked up my order, and when I opened my tacos, they made them incorrectly. When I called them back, the woman said I changed my order, which is absurd! She argued with me, and I finally hung up. Their customer service is terrible! read more

The food tasted the same and the service was the same but everything was about 2/3 the original size and 50% cost increase if not more so another situation just telling me to make my own food at home and save the trouble and save the money read more

What a Freaking great burrito! I've had several recommendations to try this burrito which I finally did! Sooooooooo goooooood!!!! Just order the Steak Giant Burrito with everything you will be fine! The location, decor and ambience lead a lot to be desired, but for a take out order, this place is fantastic! My only problem is that the Giant Burrito isn't really that big for me. Maybe I ordered the regular size but I will make sure it's the Giant size when I order again next week! Free parking in the lot, decent service from the staff, and plenty of tables for seating. Take on the Burrito challenge! read more

Very unassuming from the outside and clean but doesn't look like much while inside, but WOW the food is delicious! The menu seems very authentic, not totally Americanized like many places. Order at the counter and the food was brought to our table in less than five minutes. The chips and salsa were good and seem fresh. We had one steak burrito, one chicken burrito, and two tacos. The steak burrito was the most delicious of all. I thought most of the prices seemed reasonable. The guac was a little expensive, but not unusual for the area. Don't come here expecting anything fancy, but come here if you want tasty, fairly authentic food. I would definitely come back. read more

The fat cook winked at my wife, the cashier ladies are always super sweet. Been going here for years and disappointed that the cook would do that when I was with her too. Lucky I didn't beat his ass. I'll pray for him instead and go to Los burritos taps instead read more

Used to go as a kid all the time and is still the best in da 630. Ordered a chorizo and steak burrito, wife had a steak Milanese torta. Better then Los Taps.

The food is fine. We've always enjoyed the selection and prices. Lots of competition in Lisle. Apple Maps has the place listed as permanently closed. Not true. Although they have cut back hours. read more

Really good and tasty as usual. I'm a frequent diner here and I can't recall a meal here that wasn't fantastic as usual.

Food was pretty good a bit greasy but good. The chicken quesadillas had good flavor but feel for the price should of came with more then just lettuce and tomato. The steak tacos and Steak burrito was way to greasy and the meat had tons of fat pieces, tomales was okay way to much dough not enough filling, Al pastal tacos definitely wasn't a go to at this place. I would return just for the steak dinner in sauce to be honest. read more

Fabulous old school Mexican. They make it all fresh and tasty. Come grab a great order anytime- breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night. Staff is friendly so stop in and say hi to this great family owned business read more

I'm very picky about my Mexican food. And I was very surprised to find this little gem in a strip mall in the middle of Lisle. The food is delicious! Authentic Mexican food. None of that tex-mex you unfortunately see everywhere these days.Pretty much no matter what you get, you're going to be happy with it. I love the tacos and quesadillas myself. A friend of mine has tried the chalupa and loved that. I've tried cecina for the first time and enjoyed that as well. Their guacamole was a bit mushy as if the avocados were old, but I'd still give it a 3.5 out of 5. Their horchata is delicious. If you go in, you're bound to get exactly what you want, and you can either enjoy it at one of their booths or take it home. It's a small place, a bit of a hole in the wall, but clean. I would not do Uber Eats with them. I had a bad experience. The woman from El Burrito Mexicano was extraordinarily rude. Come to think of it, she's very rude when you go in and order as well. But this time, I told her something was missing, and she told me no, I know I put it in there, you need to call Uber Eats because I know it's in there. When I already went through every single thing in the bags and it was missing. Suffice it to say I did not get a refund or even an apology and we all had to put in some so that one of the children could eat. Bottom line, put up with the rude service and enjoy some delicious authentic Mexican food! read more

Got a steak burrito from here one day. Steak burrito with cilantro, onions and cheese, hot peppers and carrots on the side Very good. I bit into it without sauce to see if it had flavor. It did. Lots. Verde sauce brought out more flavor to it. And the peppers just added goodness to it. I know if you eat here, free chips and salsa. On television: Telemundo (just informing ya). Bad parking lot. And this review is based upon steak, sauce and chips...only! read more

El Burrito Mexicano - Steak burrito - Mexican Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

The chicken was raw and pink, and the pork was old and expired, the steak was chewy and hard to bite. The cashier was rude and resistant to refund. I would advice to look somewhere else to eat. read more

As much as 20 years ago, this was always a wonderful late evening spot to pick up some tasty grub. On my recent visit, it seems that still today, the food and service is consistent. It's quite a testament to be able to come back that much later and feel like nothing has changed. My burrito suizo and horchata seemed almost identical as what I remember, even down to the green sauce. Thanks for keeping this tradition alive! read more

Eh, poor service. Sub par tacos and I don't understand why I keep thinking that maybe the good old el burrito will come back. Been going here for years, but it's not as good anymore. Will probably consider going to Taco Dale from now on. Sad. read more

Tiny place. As for customer service. Well, don't expect great service. At the very least Got mine as it is on the menu with steak. The meat was like many others out there, a lot of grizzle and chewy. I'll never understand why these people think you open a restaurant, service terrible food, cheap products used to make low priced food. I tried it once and threw away half of it. Nothing fancy about this review, just being straight forward. read more

This IS THE BURRITO place to visit, it's a must try. I've only been going there for the past few years but it's been a staple for over 30 years. I know it's changed hands here and there but its always so good. Sunday night was no exception, they will make the burrito you want, multiple ingredients, I like steak and chili relleno, their salsas red and green are awesome. This place was open till 3am, during covid its 10 during the week and 11 on fri/sat, this is a great little family owned burrito place. We also had the nachos with a couple meats, it was so darn good. Keep visiting this place! read more
