They have great burritos and Horchata definitely recommend this place if you like Mexican food

El Burrito Tapatio in Addison is a solid choice for Mexican food. Our group ordered the steak burrito, menudo, and Carne a la Tampiqueña and every dish was flavorful, fresh and filling. The Carne a la Tampiqueña stood out with its grilled skirt steak, cheese enchilada, beans, guacamole, and rice, a well-balanced and satisfying meal. The complimentary chips and salsa were a great way to start the meal and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, El Burrito Tapatio delivers great food, large portions and a welcoming experience. Definitely a place we'll be returning to. read more

Went here for nachos. No menu online or on the wall. They have TVs displaying the food items, but you have to look at the dine in menus for takeout orders. Got the xl horchata which was 3.99 And the nachos with steak for 9.99 Horchata was great they even asked if I wanted ice which I opted for no ice since they asked. Nachos, we'll check out the picture. Very weird. No nacho cheese on them just some sprinkle cheese. The tomatoes aren't even chopped up and it's mostly just tomato skin it almost seems like this was the scraps from cutting up a tomato. Came with a tiny side of sour cream and guacamole which was mostly tomato. Green salsa was good for their "hot" salsa. The mild is just a standard salsa also good. Overall I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

They don't listen to the orders. They do whatever they want. I order no onion, they added onion. Ask zopes with no meat, they added meat. I order in Spanish so it's not a language issue.. It's a they don't care about ur order. They will give u what they want. Called to complain about it. I was left on hold for over 10minutes. read more

El Burrito Tapatio - Onions on the chilaquiles. Eggs how ever they decided to do them. Never asked how I wanted my eggs. - Mexican Near Me - Addison, Illinois

Best decision I made all week! So happy to be back after all these years. Large burrito chips and salsa and a large Horchata for $14. Absolutely delicious. Packed with beefy flavor. Amazing salsa, hot sauce and crispy chips. Looks like they've done quite a bit of remodeling since I've been here last. Very clean, and very sharp, very up-to-date. If I lived in Addison, again, I swear I'd be here every day. 100% read more

My veggie burrito consisted of 4/5ths head lettuce, 2 tablespoons of beans, and some tomatoes. There was no rice in it at all, and there was a small piece of beef in my veggie burrito. My husband's chicken burrito and my veggie had no flavor whatsoever. We had dined there several years ago, and the food was good at that time, so evidently, they have new owners. Never had such terrible burritos ever! read more

Been going here since high school for the last 10 years and quality has not changed. Always been my top place.

I love El Burrito Tapatio!!! Food is outstanding and service is excellent. I'm definitely going back. This place is one of my favorite places to eat. read more

Steak in burrito was cooked so long it was crunchy instead of steak. I asked for sour cream and they didn't put much of any on.

5 older ladies in our group. Option for table service or order pay and sit down. Since we wanted separate checks we were asked to order and pay first. We did mind this but didn't understand the logic. Especially As we were dining at least 7 tables of 1-2 people sat down and where the server took their order at their table, delivered their food to the table, gave the table their check and the bill was paid before leaving. No pre-pay required. Other than this the venue was clean. The food was delicious. read more

Been coming here for over twenty years. This place used to be a staple. It is really gone downhill through the years. Last night was the last straw. My wife and I got steak burritos. The shells were stale and crumbled when I picked it up to eat it. This ended up being a blessing in disguise for my wife. She got guacamole in her burrito. The avocado seed was put inside of her burrito. Had her burrito not falling apart. She could have bit into it. Also the steak quality has really gone downhill here. Also the burritos are always lukewarm and not hot. read more

Excellent food, outstanding service, reasonable prices. I have eaten in a lot of Mexican restaurants, including a whole bunch in actual Mexico. This place has authentic tasting and presented Mexican food. If you want to try something a bit different, order enchiladas with chorizo sausage and salsa verde, a cup of pickled jalapenos and carrots, and a bottle of your favorite Jarritos soda! Yumm! read more

The service was really good food was good just need to ease a little bit on the salt on the meat. The salsas definitely need more flavor but not too bad though. I would go eat here again. read more

The food was delicious, service was excellent and we got the food pretty quick, the huge burritos are delicious aswell and the overall atmosphere is a bit bland but you can tell it's meant to not be overwhelming read more

Haven't been here in a while and it used to be great food and service! Horribly disappointed with my experience tonight! Awful service, rude employees! Ordered take out.. 2 taco dinners.. was very careful and did not shake or drop the bag so i was surprised and disappointed once we opened our plates (see pics).. like wtf is this?! Quality and service is gone! Definitely will not be back!! read more

I've been going to this place for the last 11 years. Ever since the price hike of their giant burrito, the steak quality went down. The tortillas were hard due to being under a sun lamp, the steak tacos have too much gristle and were heavily salted. The burrito's cheese was not even melted! Was going to give it 3 stars but I had to drive back because they gave me the wrong enchiladas ( not pictured, I asked for mole but got salsa verde). Sad to see the quality drop. *UPDATE*** Downgraded this place to 1 star, got sick after eating this and only this the day after. read more

It's been awhile since we last ate here. Unfortunately their prices have increased while the quality of the steak has decreased. There were way too many fatty/chewy pieces in our tacos. Seasoning was good, and portion was large, but due to the quality I will not be coming here again. The guacamole, however, was still great. Also, please note they now charge a fee for paying with a credit card. I hate that more and more places are doing that these days. read more

Horchata Steak Tacos Kind Friendly Service Seriously everything you'd expect from a local and widely known taco joint in Addison! Worth the money and worth the time. Not quite sure why the negative comments before but this place has character and definitely good food! read more

El Burrito Tapatio - Traditional Steak Tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Addison, Illinois

Not a bad little spot! I kinda actually like it. The prices are what I consider fair and the people are friendly. It's a little late night hidden gem in these burbs since most of the restaurants shut down at 10 on weekdays so it's nice to see that this place is open for late owls like me...I only had the tacos when I was there but I liked them. It's your typical taco sleuth good flavor read more

I love the food so much!!! It is the best Mexican food around..even my bf and best friend agree (she's Mexican) !! The chips and salsa are hands down the BEST I have ever had. It is open late too, which is awesome!! read more

Ordered a torta and it was cold asf, at least it had flavor but still for the price it shouldn't be cold for any reason. I ordered a side of fries and never received it. The horchata was watered down and overall didn't taste great. It was such a terrible experience and I will never be going here ever again!!!. Don't come here unless you want to eat cold food and get your order wrong :) read more

Just had this awesome, big-ass steak burrito with rice and beans on the side and can't be happier! I was very hungry and now I'm not! It wasn't a gourmet burrito by any means but it tasted pretty good! Better with the salsa on. The hot salsa is moderately hot. Take it from a Gringo. The beans and the rice are goooood too. The service was very fast and the cashiers were nice. Now, check this out.. They are open till 2 am! In the burbs! It's a typical Mexican fast food eatery for working class and love the type. The only con was that the table where I sit was a bit dirty. Recommended! read more

Wow. This place has gone waaaaay down hill. I've been frequenting this treasure for the last 20+ years and let me tell you, whatever decisions were made this year as far as the steak goes, it is a restaurant KILLER. I thought it was a hit or miss depending on what chef was making with the tacos, burritos, sopes, etc, the last few months, but it turns out that increasing the price, nearly two dollars for a steak burrito, also decreased the quality of the steak cut. What used to be a delicious, marinated skirt or flank now tastes and feels like a stew cut usually used for a slow cooked barbecoa, except there was no slow cooked, and there's noticible hunks of fat EVERYWHERE. There is no longer a place for nostalgia with this place. Get better food across the street at Cilantro, a block away at la placita, or literally any other taqueria on lake Street in Addison. Another landmark Addison eatery has killed itself. read more

Food is overall great love the place been going there for the past 3 years! But not sure what happened their old menu and style of food was great it's slowly gotten worse after the new ownership but still ok! Prices have Increaed a lot as well couldn't mind them to go back down in the future but not likely! read more

Worst burrito I ever had. I have been going here for years and recently the quality has gone done and prices have gone up. Figured I would try it one more time....big mistake!!! I ordered the steak burrito with sour cream and avocado. What I got was a lettuce and tomato burrito with a few morsels of dried out, gristle steak. Didn't taste any sour cream or avocado. Needless to say, I will NEVER be coming back here again. read more

It was terrible! New owners, it's not the same. Will not go back. It used to be good, not anymore.

By far the BEST tacos I've ever had! Their tortilla is amazing! I get mine with only avocado, cheese and sour cream and they do not skimp you on any of it! It's a bit far from me but sooooo worth the drive! And the staff is all very friendly and fast! read more

El Burrito Tapatio - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Addison, Illinois

It's easy to find a deal on Taco Tuesday, but last night was Monday and I wanted some Mexican food! We drove by and saw a sign for $6 burritos. Sign me up! I ordered the steak burrito, and we got a side of guacamole ($5). Since we dined in, we also received complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was spicy (nice!) but watery (not nice!). The guac was seasoned alright, but was too purèed for my liking. Too bad it had chunks of tomato instead of onion. And the burrito? Okay, but a bit too much gristle and kind of bland as another reviewer mentioned. I braved the bathrooms, which were surprisingly clean. In all, it was A-OK, but I probably won't make a second stop. read more

Long time customers but the food has changed since the COVID-19 crisis. We have placed two orders in the last two weeks and both times the portions have shrunk. The flautas are no longer flautas now they are but a fold over fried thing. I mentioned it when I phoned I the second time and she said nothing had changed. But it did and we won't be back. read more

Drove passed and saw the place packed with people. We ordered a pastor burrito and s steak torta. One bite and we were both done and disgusted. Walked right out. The meat was so horrible. Both have bad stomach aches I really didn't see too many normal Or sober people in there. Maybe some people done care at that point. Just so puzzling how the people could have been eating that meat there. Ewwwweeeeee read more

I've recently discovered what I like to call Far West Pilsen. It is a secret to no one that I adore Mexican cuisine. After hitting Bigby's my buddy and I were in the mood for what else? Tacos. My handy dandy yelp app directed us to Tapatio. The food is inexpensive but that doesn't hamper the quality. Another bonus is they are open late. Like late late. I feasted on an al pastor taco and their chips. Chips and salsa are the superior equivalent to an italian restaurant serving bread and butter. Pop in, no matter what time it is and get your taco on. read more

El Burrito Tapatio - Al pastor. Open late so you can sober up great. - Mexican Near Me - Addison, Illinois

I'm a fan, but only for the once-in-a-while-pig-out-after-a-night-of-drinking. I have been coming here for as long as I can remember, which is surprising after crazy nights. Instead of recanting the already stated pleasure of the food, instead I will regale you readers in a tale of murder that took place late night in 2006. A street fight in the back lot of El Burrito left a 24 year old man to die in the hospital of several skull-crushing blows to the back of his head. There is a small shrine outside on the back wall (North East corner) to mark the incident. Just an interesting story that few people are aware of. read more

I live close by, so I go there when I'm craving Mexican food that is quick and cheap. Their burritos and tortas are great. Steak anything tastes good. I always get takeout because it's not the cleanest restaurant around. Steak burritos are staple here. Great steak tacos also, or try some cow tongue if you wanna be a bit more adventurous. The salsas are made frequently, although a few times I have picked up an order that gave me bad heartburn or a bad stomach ache. English and Spanish are spoken with ease. Stop in and try. Expect to see the tough bar crowd later at night. To summarize: cheap, good Mexican food, but not great. Good service with a smile, and always fast. read more

This is a favorite place of our family that we would frequent at least once a week before the remodel/quarantine. Totally fine to raise your prices, but the burritos we ordered were significantly smaller with less steak. Just a heads up to those who have been loyal, long-standing customers! read more

Not good. Flavorless meat. The salsa is good though. I got a giant chicken burrito. Was super disappointed. It was all very bland. I don't know how I feel about lettuce and tomato in a burrito. This isn't like the awesome burritos I'm used to. :( I think I'll pass on this place. Huge burrito, but that doesn't cut it. :/ //Edit I ate the leftovers later in the day. I think what I most didn't particularly like was that the chicken wasn't really well-flavored and the beans did not add much to the taste. The lettuce and tomato reduced any flavor there may have been. I did use the salsa to add more heat but it didn't quite help. Maybe the other meats are better? Good chips and salsa though...even if it's pre-made or store bought (if it's not, they taste like it). read more

This place has amazing hot sauce. If you dine in your get free chips and salsa. What more can you ask for. They even have the extra large cups which is a huge plus!! And if you ask you can get a free refill. The food doesn't take long and it is a big portion. I've had the flautas, tacos, and burritos. They are all really good and flavorful. One of the few good places. Only down side of this place is the dessert menu. Most Mexican places have really long lists of desserts. But I guess I can't complain. read more

It's been nearly 14 years since I last had this burrito and it brings back so many memories! So good! We had the vegetarian giant burrito. Order was ready within 10 minutes of calling. Last time I came I was in high school and this time I got to share this meal with my husband! Never change El Burrito Tapatio! read more

My son went and picked up 2 steak burritos from this place and these were the worse burritos we ever had. We threw most of it out. It was nothing but fat and gristle. Makes me sick even thinking about it. Like eating pieces of rubber and slime. Not kidding at all. Terrible. How do they even get business with food like that ? read more

I went here the other night because I had a very similar name to the Los Burritos Tapatios in Streamwood. Unfortunately this location (I am pretty sure they are related) fell quite a bit short of my expectation. I got my sure fire staple the steak burrito dinner with the chips and salsa. While the food was not bad it just tasted like it was missing something. The steak needed some more seasoning and was a bit dried out. There was a good amount of it but I have definitely seen more. As for the chips and salsa the chips were great but the salsa was pretty much tomato water. It was in need of some serious help. With so many choices for authentic Mexican food up and down the street I would pass this place up and try a new place next time. Or I will just make the truck out to Streamwood and get some good steak burritos from my fav Los Burritos Tapitios. read more

- "Can I have 4 tacos and a shrimp stew" - Are you sure? It's a big bowl - "Oh really, then I'll have one taco and the shrimp stew" Shook his head as in annoyance for about 4 seconds not even kidding. Like ok??? Was I rude? Did I make you do so much extra work for reordering ? Damn dude As for the food it's regular nothing crazy. Also it took me a 25 Min drive to receive this kind of treatment. read more
