Great breakfast. Had the huevos con chorizo. Really good. Good coffee The service was great as well. read more

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. Always game for good Mexican, but this fell a bit short. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but seriously lacked seasoning! Meat was super tender, rice was well-cooked. Beans were oddly orange but still good. Guacamole would have been perfect if it had some salt in it... Maybe it was just an off day? read more

The food wasn't bad at all. It could've used a bit more flavor. All in all the food was good & presented nicely. Just be careful when you get the bill. We were charged for a few items that we didn't order. I'm sure it was a mistake but it took quite a while to get it resolved because I don't speak Spanish. The margarita was very delicious. So, it's definitely worth a try. read more

El FestÍn Restaurant - Shredded beef & a shrimp taco - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Another great dinner here at El Festin!!!!!!!! Service is perfect, people are kind and food is just as you order.

This is my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in the area - and there are a TON of great options. Whether picking up food to go or eating in, I have never had a bad experience with Taqueria Muniz. For years, I got the same order of a steak torta because it is so delicious and I found myself craving them and had to return. Recently, me and my husband have started to order outside of our usual selections when visiting this restaurant, and we have not found an option on the menu that we have been disappointed in. My most recent order was a steak chimichanga and it was amazing. Their red and green hot sauces are both awesome. The service is always quick and courteous. The atmosphere is nice and simple. There is a half wall running down the middle of the restaurant so it feels a little more private when you are dining in. They serve soft drinks by the can instead of with a fountain. They don't serve alcohol. read more

The taco bowl is delicious, also the jamaica drink ..............................................................................////............ read more

Their prices have gone up. 2 alacart tostadas $11.95 with less pork and not warm. Menudo $12! Charged for coffee refill. We'll go somewhere else next time. read more

I used to love this place and it has since changed; the menu went up in price by 20%. I asked for a guacamole today and they said that due to avocados going up in cost they are charging $8.50 for a small when it is $4.25 regularly. Jalisco's down the street on Galena and Elmwood does not charge more nor is there a commodity increase on avocados so I am unsure where they procure their's but it is ridiculous to charge double. That sounds like gouging to me. The food is not the same, the owner is not here and they really went down in quality. The pictures on the wall do not match what you get i.e the Flautitas, as a 6 count are pictured and the Flautas are in the menu and you get 3. read more

Went with coworkers for lunch. Most of them ordered three tacos, but I ordered two. When food was brought out, there were three tacos on my plate which I told the waitress. She looked around, took my plate towards another table, took one taco off my plate with her bare hand and put it on a napkin. When we looked towards the table later, the taco was gone. Maybe it was her mid-morning snack? When we asked a busboy for more chips, he looked at us like we were crazy and copped some 'tude. One of my coworkers said something to him in Spanish and he returned with a half-full basket of chips. 3 stars solely based on service. Food was fine but not memorable. read more

Taqueria Muniz has opened a smaller location off Rt. 25. The old location of Tacos Maria's which was one of my favorite locations for Mexican food, breakfast, lunch or dinner. When I first arrived the atmosphere had changed completely. The outdoor patio was gone, the walls repainted, I was excited. But when we got inside although things got a big upgrade the staff was very confused about what bacon was. I used to order bacon egg and cheese tacos before. I understood they didn't have any so we tried steak egg and cheese tacos. Our waitress didnt even know what Orange Juice was and asked us if Orange Crush was a better option. The food was served and to our surprise there was hair in the food. The chips and salsa they served were partially burnt. The salsa was the only great feature to this small, depressing hole in the wall. Please give this place a little bit more time, the wait staff are very inexperienced, and the cook is very unprofessional. Wearing gloves and hair net out onto floor and touching register. read more

El FestÍn Restaurant - Chips are half burned half decent. - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

I am disappointed in this establishment. I went in to pick up an order to go. None of the workers were wearing masks. I find this troublesome; as it's still a state mandate. Our numbers are going up which means at a minimum in public indoor places masks should be worn. They are not in compliance with this mandate. I think this begs the question what other health department rules that they don't like aren't they following? read more

One of my favorite Mexican place.. this place is nice, everyone is friendly and food is very good!

Walking into the restaurant you notice it is not fancy but it is clean. Super clean. Greeting by friendly hostess/server. Food came out super fast and was quite good. Although not specifically on the menu, they were happy to make me a veggie chimichanga. Food is not spicy but you can add heat with their sauces. Really enjoyable experience-we will be back. read more

I really like this restaurant. The food is good, and the service is also good. I have told many of my co-workers about this place and they order from here frequently as well now. I use to only go to Fajitas Mexican Restaurant in Lagrange for Mexican food. That was the only mexican restaurant that i trusted. I'm from romeoville and bolingbrook, and i haven't had a good experience with el burrito loco in bolingbrook and Ruby's burrito's in romeoville is even more racist towards black people. So if my mexican family members didn't cook dinner at they're house. I'll would just eat a salad or I'll go all the way to lagrange for Mexican food (i love mexican food) but i found this place, because it is close to my job and i like it. I feel comfortable here. read more

El FestÍn Restaurant - Delicious - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Always outstanding food and Service. Tacos El Pastor are amazing. Very family oriented. Highly recommend.

Very very rude staff. Everything is priced individually & not mentioned until you get the bill. Went in for 6 tacos & got an bill for $60 for food that's the same quality as Burger King. The staff yells at you if you want water, question the quality, & yell at the elderly who can't see the print. The 5 star reviews are from the staff. read more

If me and my husband could give 0 stars we would. We ordered our food and sat there about 40 minutes until finally deciding to go pay for the 2 sodas we had. The girls upfront seemed confused and unsure about the order being put in. Never bothered to go check if we needed another drink or anything. Meanwhile a family of 4 that walked in and sat down at the same time as us 2 had already finished eating. Disappointed. Specially because we always come here. Never coming back again. read more

The food is ok. Nothing special about it. Nothing to do with Mexican food. The service is good. But sopes was uncooked and the meat was hard and chew it. Not recommend read more

If your looking for tacos, this is the place . I will definitely keep coming back to this restaurant. Very friendly staff and both times I've been here, waiting time for food is short! read more

Please update your hours of operation. I'm sure you're food is very good, but I drove to try it and you're closed on Sunday when it's stated you're open. Thank you! read more

These are some the best hard shell tacos I've had in the longest time!! Shredded beef perfection!!

Another taco spot within walking distance of home? I'm in love. We headed here for dinner on a Saturday night and it was busy! Dining in is a lot more comfortable here than Jalisco Tacos, there are more tables available and you won't shiver every time someone opens the door. There's music playing, so you're not just subjected to episodes of Sabado Gigante. The Cochinita Pibil (shredded pork) are to die for! The steak were also very good, and my husband really liked the chorizo. Chips and salsa are complimentary and delicious. We also ordered guacamole which was too creamy for my liking and didn't pack much flavor. The horchata was okay too (sorry, but Jalisco is much better). No complaints. No major dislikes. Food is inexpensive, comfortable environment, service was good, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Everything we ordered from our Steak Burrito, Ground Beef Chimichanga, and down to the Al Pastor tacos were all impeccably delicious. I will definitely dine in this establishment again and again. By the way, this family-owned restaurant has the best customer service which makes the dining experience extra special. read more

Love this place! The menu is amazing, you'll even find "Cochinita Pibil". Recently we catered food for a grad party. Everybody loved the food! Very authentic, friendly and attentive atmosphere at a reasonable price. read more

This restaurant serves some of the most satisfying food I've ever consumed. Everything is super-fresh and flavorful at great prices (the taco dinner I'm getting ready to rave about was $7.95!) You really want to eat at Taqueria Muniz! Yesterday, I headed south on Lake Street with thoughts of a taco dinner dancing in my head. I walked in the door, was greeted by a couple of friendly employees, and sat myself down in one of their simple old-school restaurant booths. They brought out some very tasty chips and salsa for me to munch on while awaiting my taco-based feast. Their taco dinner consists of three tacos with rice and beans on the side. I got three different meats: chicken, shredded beef, and shredded pork. It's impossible to say witch one was the best: all three meats were delicious (and so was the side of rice and beans!) This is the kind of food you just keep eating long after you're totally full. Resist the urge to lick your plate clean... The Aurora area has many excellent options when it comes to Mexican food, but in my opinion, you'd have a hard time finding anything better than Taqueria Muniz! read more

Wow! this place get so much respect from me. I did a return visit and ate in rather than took out. That made a world of difference. I got to see first-hand how good (and friendly) the service is. The other part of that good service is that I was kindly guided through the normal toppings for tacos I had never had before. Nicely done, I didn't feel foolish at all the way they took care of me! I can honestly say the Conchinta Pibil was a treasure, however I loved the Taco de Alambre. I can't go back to Asada anymore. It didn't need anything but what it came with. I also liked the Chipotle salsa (in the bottle) very good. I am grateful that the meal was great, inexpensive and served with so much Aloha Muchas gracias! read more

Liked that they offered regional specialties that I haven't seen in that many taquerias. The conchinita pibil, was one of them, which is a type of shredded spiced pork that I got in some tacos and tried some cabeza tacos while there. Hate to say this, but I was let down by both. The conchinita pibil and cabeza meat texture were kinda soggy and lacked flavor. I did like the red onions what were with the conchinita pibil, which gave it a hot/sweet flavor. Also ordered a pork burrito, which was better than the tacos. Good combination of all the ingredients, solid! Jamaica (drink made with a hibiscus tea leaves) was pretty good as well. People there were really nice as well! read more

Love the steak tacos here! Horchata is made in house along with all the salsas... at lunch the salsa is still hot to the touch... the burritos are the perfect size and filling to my tummy! Cops eat here so it must be good!! read more

Okay so I go here often and I will admit that the food is really good! the meat is very tasty I love it. The only reason why I'mm not giving 5 stars is because the portions have gotten smaller and keep getting smaller and prices keep going up. I had a torta, 5 tacos and 2 drinks my total was $22 plus tip. The owner has become more greedy I remember when his portions were at least normal. I noticed the bread for the torta is smaller. So the things that get me mad is the small portions and the high price. Also the restaurant can use some renovations, the restroom is just nasty there's some sort of wall paper peeling off. Before I forget, the salsa is cold and the chips are hard, you will be way better off going to a different restaurant that serves bigger portions and same quality meat. read more

Just moved here from south Texas three days ago. I love the food here! Prices are fair, customer service is great, and the food is delicious! (Reminded me of home!) I will definitely be back read more

Amazing tacos! Best I've found in Aurora and some of the best I've had anywhere. I had the Barbacoa, Al Pastor and Carne Asada. Then I ordered another Barbacoa and Al Pastor because they were that good. The sauce they give you with the pastor tacos is incredible. Highly recommend this place! read more

Always amazing food. I have been coming here for years , they have never let me down. Staff is always friendly and welcoming

Stopped by for lunch and was satisfied with what I received. Had the taco dinner ($7.95) which was 3 tacos accompanied with rice and beans. Meat was tasty, slightly on the dry side and rice and beans were typical, but nothing special. Chips didn't seem to be made inn house , but salsa did. Also, two homemade hot sauce options on table (red & green). Tried one of the huaraches with the pastor...this was excellent. Service was great and food came quick. All in all I was happy and will be back. Definitely recommend the pastor, next time I will try a specialty dish. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

I went here tonight and this place is great!!!! We started off with chips and salsa, which was very good then we had guacamole that was made fresh and we added jalapenos and onions and it was absolutely incredible! I had the enchiladas and all I can say is WOW! So good! This place was cheap too so worth more than what I paid. I would definitely go back here it is so much better than other places I've been. Definitely give it a try. read more

This is the family-owned Mexican restaurant that has been around for years. They have always been fresh and excellent quality. Burritos chimichangas tacos are all very very good. The guacamole and chips is real good usually get that with whatever we order. It's a combination of people coming in for lunch that are working people that are coming in with kids at just draws in the whole population. Somebody said might take me to the best restaurant Mexican restaurant that you know of I would take them here read more

Food was terrible!!! Chicken was dry the steak had no flavor!!! Chimichanga had no sour cream!!! Pictures are deceiving! Waste of my money! Too bad I had to give it 1 star because it deserves 0 read more
