I ordered the shrimp taco dinner onions and cilantro with/sour cream. Plus 6oz guac. It was pretty good and it hit the spot. I'm very picky about my guac as well because a lot of taco spots aren't good at all. The guac hit the spot. However there was tails on the shrimp hopefully it was a one off thing ‍. The service was ok. The atmosphere was cool and the ambiance of the place was kinda lowkey. read more

I love the tacos here. Great choice if you are in the Oak Forest Area looking for some great Mexican food read more

Hard to gauge the quality of this place seeing one review is 5-star and the next is 1-star, which leads me to believe it's not the food quality but rather the service and employee problems. So I ordered a Steak Fujita Burrito which is a rare item to see because most burritos are made with lettuce instead of peppers and onions as the way the fajitas are made which is way more nutritious and better tasting! Glad to report that it was very good and the steak was good too with very little gristle. The place only has like four tables but can accommodate several more. The employees were ok and had no problems with their performance. So really I have nothing bad to say and will return with hopefully the same experience many times to come! read more

The chicken tacos were not fresh. The customer service is great. It's a quick to go establishment.

I've dined at El Burrito Rey in November and December 2022 during dinner time. This small restaurant is located in a strip mall across the street from Super Walmart in Country Club Hills, IL. There is ample parking. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. There were a few tables to dine in, which is appropriate for small groups. The first time, I ordered a Beef Burrito and Fries. The Beef Burrito was delicious and made to order. It was fresh and the ingredients were plentiful. I would order that again. I ordered the Chicken Burrito the second time. The Chicken Burrito was very flavorful and moist, but the burrito lacked ingredients. It was just a bunch of chicken. I won't order that again. Both times, the food was prepared quickly and fresh. Both burritos cost around 13 dollars and the portion size of the burritos are huge. The fries were skimpy, and I wish the portions were bigger. The customer service was average. The cashier was a bit impatient and wasn't friendly, but she did greet me. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was good and the food was fulfilling. I would definitely return. read more

Portion was very small, I ordered 2 steak tacos but I got 2 unrolled unfried taquitos. I paid $8.90 for this, never again.

This will be the last time I come to this restaurant, when they first opened they were good and now the food is not even appetizing. The service sucks ass because the lady at the register had a lil nasty attitude when I told her my food was cold, so it was remade with very little toppings the second time. The flaming hot nachos barely had chicken on the top for a 13 dollar plate. Then to lay it out my child and I had to use the bathroom and she pointed to the sign no public restroom, how the fuck is it no public bathroom and I'm paying for food. ............. The 2 cooks basically talked shit in Spanish so I wouldn't understand FUCK THIS RESTAURANT read more

We ordered two steak taco dinners and a horchata. The portion size of the tacos were decent. There was a nice amount of steak. However, there could have been a better portion of rice and beans considering two meals and a drink costed us $30. It was pretty good though. Friendly and fast service as well. read more

lost count of how many times I've been here now! The taco dinner is a really good, filling deal for what you get; but their tacos are so good that I always end up ordering an extra few on the side. I recommend you do the same. My steak taco dinner SMACKED even though I went in at 1:30 am on a Saturday, knowing they close at 2am. Usually you get trash food and trash service at restaurants when you do that, but I was greeted as if it was the start of their shift. I Was a little irritated because the cashier said she was new and they didn't train her on how to take coupons, which I believed, but it was disappointing nonetheless because I'd saved it for this occasion and ordered a bunch of food just to not get to use it . Overall great service and food. That's just my two cents :) read more

Being a Southern California native I have high expectations on what good Mexican food is. I judge a Mexican restaurant by two things, the horchata and the rice. El Burrito Rey is on point. Their horchata is the best horchata I've had so far out here in the burbs. I ordered the two taco dinner, shrimp and fish. It was yummy! Rice was good, the beans I could've done without. In so many words, I think I found my new taco joint. I wonder if they'll be open to doing a California burrito one day:) Thanks el burrito Rey! October 2016 El Burrito Rey just made my day, they brought the California Burrito to life!! Ty El Burrito Rey for listening to the needs of your customers! My husband came home with the California burritos tonight. First bite brought me back to Southern California. read more

I would rate the restaurant but they didn't even get my order correct. Open your meal before you drive home and be pissed.

Upset that I ordered a chimichanga and got a container FULL of grease!! In fact so much that the chimichanga was wet and soggy from the grease and not crispy at all. See for yourself read more

I just off the phone with the manager.. He has horrible customer service. There is a problem with their door dash and uber eats and he literally said "it's not my problem." He was extremely rude and dismissive! I would never spend another dollar with them! read more

Got a Breakfast Burrito for dinner, this is great, veggies are fresh, steak and eggs cooked perfectly

The lady at the counter was very rude today it's a shame because me and my friends patronize this business frequently. The lady was so mean to us and we didn't deserve that. It's a shame to see how this business treats their customers. I'm disappointed because I actually liked this place. Oh well they just lost customers read more

1st the food is always good no issues there BUT I placed an online order because I work nights so it will be fast and easy to pick up for lunch. I drive 20 minutes from my job on lunch get my food drive back 20 minutes just to get back to work to eat lunch to find out they made me the WRONG food. I called back they stated they could not give me a refund and that I had to drive back there so they can swap it out. That is very unprofessional an unacceptable I spend money an now I have to take time out my day to fix their problem that they caused. That does not sound professional to me. I'm very disappointed I don't know if it was because there was a different cashier and cooks than before because I've never had this issue with this place. Never had a issue at all with this place but the one time I do I'm the one that has to fix their mistake... No that's not ok. Then I take my time to go back there an they stated that they thought I was lying , I get it now a days gotta be sure but come on now not the way they handled it that was very disrespectful. Super disappointed in this place. read more

This place offers a variety that I think pleases a young community as well. They posted a video on Facebook of their burrito that contains hot cheetos in it and everyone seemed so excited about it. Not many mexican places around here do that so it definitely makes them different in that way. Their tacos are good. I get the steak tacos everytime with a side of elote and I'm never disappointed. This place has okay prices for their food. Their menu has a good amount of options to choose from. There are constant pick ups and people are always in and out no matter what time of day. Everytime I have been there, the dining room is never full though. read more

Their menu says burritos are 5.70-something, they charged me 7.something. I asked them about it and they said they raised the prices, their digital menus say 5 something. In either case, no refunds/no exchanges, and they make sure to announce that. The place smelled bad to begin with, but I just moved to the area and I'm looking for hidden gems. I told the cashier, how am I supposed to know if their prices are not announced and I managed to get my money back. read more

So I have tried this establishment a few times ( food was delicious) after noticing shady business practices with my order and straight disrespect of employees in front of customers from management/owner I had to take my business elsewhere and had to write a Yelp review. management / owner You have to remain Professional whether your customers is at fault or not.(And this is not about the customer being always right.) read more

Took 15 minutes for a simple steak burrito. Only 3 people ahead of me with small orders. The mild sauce was water with green dye coloring. The burrito taste like unhappiness. Had no flavor and kinda small. El famous burritos is done in minutes with a packed building.And with flavor having life. Gave some to my dog and my dog spit it out and hid somewhere. Still can't find him. I won't be back.. read more
