Gary really knows his way around a burrito, highly recommend! You will be so happy say hi to Gary for me

I stopped in around 1pm today and ordered a steak burrito. It took them about 5 minutes to make it. Burrito was huge and tasty. $11 and change. Is it fine dining? No. Is it fast, hot and good food for cheap? Yes. This place is definitely going in my rotation! Keep up the good work y'all!!! read more

They have expanded their footprint in the building. Very large inside. Service is good and friendly. Food is good too! Safe stop for some Tex Mex! I had their chicken burrito and the wife a couple of beef tacos. All the food was good. read more

The background includes a stainless steel surface and a brick wall below the counter. Shadows of people are visible on the brick wall. - Mexican Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

If you live within 20 minutes from here and aren't eating here, you're definitely missing out. Food and service are fantastic. My son is a picky eater and said he was giving this place 5 stars! We've been missing great Mexican and we now have our spot. The portions are nice and the quality is superb. The steak on the tacos was tender. read more

This place is a filler more than anything. If you're from the city & you know good Mexican food, this ain't it. My burrito barely had any steak in it & the salsa was watery & weak on spice, typical suburban Mexican fare if u know what I mean. The complimentary chips & salsa were lacking, the salsa was watery tomato sauce with cilantro & onion & the chips were not homemade. Skip this place but if you're looking for a good one, La Rosita Supermarket on North Ave has a good taqueria inside! You're welcome lol PS - additional star was for the friendliness of the staff read more

Great place to stop in and get your Authentic Mexican Food fixed! Great service and are willing to accommodate anything to your liking. Noticed that the staff already knew everyone's order before the customer said anything. Clean and spacious spot! read more

Gary Burritos - Plate of Birria with a nicely seasoned tomato based salsa. They serve this only on Saturdays and Sundays. - A plate of birria, featuring tender shredded meat in a rich, reddish broth, is garnished with chopped onions and cilantro. The dish is served on a white plate, with a side of tomato-based salsa visible in a small bowl behind it. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment, with a red beverage can partially visible on the right. - Mexican Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

I love this small family run burritos place. Ive been here dozens of time and the service and food is always great. Their pastor tacos are the best so tender and flavorful, better than any other local restaurant. Their salsa verde is so good I always get a big side to go. The chilaquiles are fantastic too. I am sure everything on the menu is good but their pastor is so outstanding I just keep getting that every time I go. Support this family business, you won't regret it. read more

Our family is huge fans of Los Burritos, but we decided to try out Gary's because of how close it is to our new house. We arrived at around 12:30. If you are eating in and there are tables open, you may take a seat and someone will come by to help you. If you are just looking to get it to go then you can order from the counter. We both ordered the steak burrito. The server brought us chips and salsa to start and two other salsas. The service was quick and we had our food shortly after ordering. The burritos were both really good. The meat was juicy and flavorful. We both agreed that the dark red salsa was the best and added some heat to the food. Also the prices are extremely reasonable. You pay a small amount for a good amount of food! read more

When you sit down to eat, you get free chips and salsa. I got 2 fish tacos with no onions or cilantro. The fish was very delicious and goes well with the tomatoes and avocado. It tastes amazing with their hot sauces and limes. Definitely must eat it while it's fresh and hot. The steak quesadilla is good too. I personally like flour tortillas over the corn. Delicious tacos for a good price. The servers were super nice and friendly! read more

I had the steak chimichanga, which was excellent! Great flavor so I didn't even use the two different sauces they gave me. The chimichanga was stuffed evenly with plenty of filling...try it, you will not be disappointed!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! I've been going to Gary Burrito ever since I moved to the area over 5 years ago. I've tried multiple other places in the surrounding area and nothing ever quite gets that "at home" Mexican family meal feel than this. I like to keep it basic on most days with tacos but the tortas, burritos, and horchatas are also amazing! I'll keep coming back read more

My husband and I have recently moved to the area and we absolutely loved Gary Burritos. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The chorizo tacos and torta were fresh and tasted amazing!! Found our new spot for good authentic Mexican dinner. YUM! read more

My daughter and I were staying nearby and went to Gary Burritos based on the Yelp reviews. The gentleman behind the counter was kind and helpful. We ordered a burrito, 1 steak taco and 1 chicken taco. All of it was delicious. The chips were not my favorite but the salsa was amazing. The people were friendly and the place was clean. We've talked about the food ever since and cannot wait to go back. read more

I have driven past this little strip mall restaurant over 1000 times and today was finally the day I decided to see what they have to offer. I have been missing out! The staff is very attentive and eager to please. The serving size (I had tacos) is very generous, the pricing is competitive, and the service is exemplary. Overall an excellent experience, and most importantly the food was fresh and delicious. I am impressed and looking forward to treating myself to their food again (and again...and again...). read more

Food is great. I always get either the chicken or steak tacos and they never disappoint. They give large portions and have reasonable prices. Just wish they had longer hours as they close kind of early. Definitely recommend. read more

Back again at Gary Burrito's, named after a street not a guy, for their sensational tacos. Why are the tacos so good? Well because they offer them the real Mexico City street food way where they grill two tortillas along with your choices of meat and then serve the tacos very simply with onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Thats how they are supposed to be served so you can really taste the delicious meat! Of course you can get the americanized version with shreded lettuce, cheese and tomato but the people that come here are not the type looking for a Burrito Bell Grande so I haven't seen anyone order them the Taco Bell way. I will say that the grill and kitchen are spotless and the cooks are good at making this food. My favorite meats for the tacos are the cubes of steak or the marinated pork. The steak is simply seasoned and seared and the pork is marinated in a red sauce with cubes of pinapple and is delicious. If you want Taco Bell then I will never see you because I will be at Gary Burritos. read more

A hop skip and a jump from my work. I literally have never driven here to grab lunch, it's that close. I come here at least once a week. Sometimes three.. I've tried their taco dinner, quesadillas, and a couple of burritos, as well as chips and salsa. My "go to" is always their tacos, as it's easy to work while eating them. Steak is the way to go! Their red sauce is awesome. I've never tried the green. Their rice and beans are great. Everything is full of flavor and VERY fresh. Also, the service in here is great. All of the employees are super nice. Five stars from me!! Stopped in today for lunch and saw a menu on the counter.. Yay!! Pics posted!! read more

Love this place. Little hole in the wall, food is always great. Service is excellent and it's cheap

Great food and service! Gary's has been our go to for Mexican food. I LOVE the poblano burrito which is a burrito with your choice of fillings, wrapped in a roasted poblano and topped with cheese. The nachos are fantastic as well! Super friendly hard working staff. They expressed their appreciation during the pandemic by writing a short note on our take out order bag one night. They are definitely a neighborhood gem! read more

Little gem and authentic to the core. Reminds me of all the places available in the city. Only down side is not open late. However they do it right so if you want some good steak tacos or anything to be honest, try them out and support a small business so they don't go away. outstanding. read more

I've driven past hundreds of times, but today was the first time I ordered from them based in a friend's recommendation. I enjoyed a couple of their steak tacos... delicious and generous portions. Will be going back to explore the menu further. read more

Ok this is going to sound funny but the BEST thing about this place: they serve both Coke and Pepsi- I think this is pretty important just because no one ever serves Coke products it's always Pepsi. This is a local place by my house and I love trying privately owned Mexican restaurants, I always find the food more flavorful and authentic. Ordered a steak burrito and a side of guacamole and it was bursting with flavor. The steak wasn't too chewy and it was well marinated and the guacamole was obviously freshly made with cilantro and lime! I recommend that you try the red and green sauces that are at the table on what ever you order-- they are a bit spicy but fresh and flavorful! I am excited to come back to try some tacos! My mouth is watering thinking about that steak tacos! read more

Gary Burritos is a small mexican restaurant located off of Gary Avenue in Carol Stream just a little bit North of North Avenue. It's a clean restaurant with a small amount of seating on the inside. I decided to try both a chicken burrito and a steak taco. The steak taco I received was excellent, the steak meat was juicy and not too grizzly and had a nice flavor to it. The tortilla used had a nice taste, the lettuce was fresh and the cheese was good. This was a very solid steak taco. The burrito I received was a slightly different story. First off the burrito's here are huge, if you're very very hungry for only 4.50 this is one huge burrito. However, it has a much higher percentage of rice and bean dip than other places I've tried. There's onions in the burrito, which I wasn't used to seeing mixed in with the lettuce. The chicken inside was nice and like the steak was soft and juicy. Overall the taste of the rice and bean dip overpowered everything else on this burrito. Overall and especially considering the value, Gary Burritos isn't bad a place to go. I liked the taco and I would come back here, though I would be unlikely to try the burrito on a future visit. read more

I've been going here for years and i have been to many mexican resturaunts and this is the best by far everything about them amazing employees amazing setup great drinks and even better tacos. read more

Gary Burritos is a no frills Mexican restaurant on Gary Ave. It's a small place that I imagine gets fairly full at lunch time. It looks like you might order at the counter and then seat yourself, but they do have servers who will take your order at your table. Everyone but me got a burrito. I had a couple pork tacos with just onions and cilantro. I was surprised to see that the pork had pineapple in it. It was good, but not what I expected. The food was good and the service was quick and friendly. I'm sure we'll be going back here fairly often. read more

Driving up and down Gary Blvd I saw the development of it from the start. I didn't try it right away when it officially opened as the name kind of threw me off as it did for another poster until my boyfriend pointed out that it was named "Gary's Burritos" because it's on Gary...DUH. Okay so with that aside, I have to say, that as an avid authentic mexican food seeker from Southern California, I was so abundantly pleased when the green sauce was actually tangy, fresh, and flavorful!!! I usually get the red sauce b/c it has more kick but even then i tend to watch how spicy the red sauce can be...but at Gary's...it's pretty damn good - either way: green sauce, red sauce, they are both a win. The service staff have been nothing but friendly, courteous and willing take orders when they had already packed up with purse and all! for the night! I say that's some dedication. I love that I live close to it but it can also be a bad thing since I've been going there once or twice a week since my boyfriend ventured there the first time a few weeks ago! The other noticeables that I appreciate about the steak tacos (cannot imagine eating it "american style" - ALWAYS have to have it in its original glory: cilantro and onions! it seems that there is less sodium than in other Mexican authentic hole in the walls I've been too which is nice when I'm drenching my steak tacos in the green sauce. Also, the jalapenos and carrots are very spicy and tangy. I made the fatal mistake of biting into the entire jalapeno after eating the mild marinated carrots and onions...i bit into a whole jalepeno, drooling from the carrots and onions and i went to another side of the world. I had to guzzle milk to soothe the heat in my mouth for 10-15 minutes, then a fudgesicle to cool off a still burning mouth. The Jalapenos are no joke! I highly recommend this local and new restaurant. Give it a try, it's very affordable! read more

Not a bad joint by any means. Very authentic! They were super friendly and polite. Trying to do anything to make me happy. Ordered 2 steak and two chicken tacos. Very filling. Plenty of free chips and salsa. Ate so much I'm back at my hotel bar and I am trying to choke down a shandy. Having a tough time. A must try next time when you're around the area! Next time I will do burritos. read more

Decided to try this place out after reading reviews. There are better places in the area, it's not worth it. Nachos have some weird squeeze cheese. Tacos are ok, burrito suizo was yucky. It wasn't so much the burritos fault though, but the salsa. The salsa is just bad. It doesn't taste like salsa, it tastes like spaghetti sauce. However, in spite of all the bad, their guacamole is excellent. Fresh, and with big chunks of avocado in it. I wouldn't go back, but if you're in the area and jonesing for some guac, it's good. read more

Go get a big burrito & smash it against your face because they are that good. First it is definitely worth it to come & eat inside because the free chips & salsa are delicious. They have a red & green salsa & they are both very good. The inside isn't that big & the booths are the hard plastic/wood kind but at the end of the day all that matters is that the food & service is good. For the most part every time I have been in here the place seems pretty clean. The staff has always been pretty friendly & they genuinely seem happy & appreciative for your business. My personal favorite here is the steak burrito. The burrito is very big & the portion of meat is generous. The chips are homemade & always fresh when they bring them to the table. If you come here at lunch there might be a little bit of a line but they work very fast so you won't have to wait too long. The prices here are always very reasonable & you can have a big meal for under $10. Overall the food is fresh & tasty & the service is good. I would definitely eat here again if I was in the area. read more

Thought it only be fair to share a positive experience as well. Picked up dinner the other night after work, and the food was decent., The tacos and rice were good. I've had worse. Sometimes you'll get steak tacos that aren't even chewable.. but these were decent. Worth it to go there for some quick Mexican food. I'm sure we'll eat from there again. read more

I live right by here and see it all the time and had never went in, I'm glad I finally did. The menu isn't super large, but that is probably a good thing. What they do, they do well. It is a family owned joint, I went there when a mother and her son who couldn't be more than 14 was helping out. It is great to see a family trying to make their own way and doing it the best they can. The tacos and for that matter the rest of the menu is wonderful. I ordered extra to put in the fridge and I am glad I did to have a little late night food. My only beef is their red "mild" sauce like most other smaller taco places was a little weak. If that was better, honestly, I would never go anywhere else for a taco or burrito. If you haven't gone there yet, try them out. They are not super easy to find, in a little strip mall next to West Suburban Bank. Support this place so they can stay around and provide great food and support their family. I will probably be back tomorrow. read more

Went here tonight based on the Yelp reviews...I was very glad I did! The food was absolutely fantastic! I ordered three tacos; Pork, Steak and the Chorizo & Egg, sooo good. The meat on all three was tender, juicy and packed with flavor. It was also abundant, for a $2 taco, you sure do get a lot of meat! We were also given complimentary chips and salsa while we waited for my tacos, three types of salsa! We were the only people inside at the time, the place was very clean and the staff was attentive and very polite/friendly. I am already looking forward to my next visit! read more

This place is excellent! The steak here is so flavorful, the best around - better than any other Mexican restaurant in the area. Also enchiladas are awesome here. This is the place you want to go for great Mexican food and great prices! read more

This restaurant has changed a few times over the last three years. When I saw it was called 'Gary Burritos', I was a bit hesitant to try it, until I realized it's located on Gary Ave and it's not a Mexican man named Gary claiming to serve authentic Mexican food. Anywho, I met a friend here for lunch last week and was pleasantly surprised! I thought it was tasty, authentic Mexican food. The complimentary chips and salsa were really tasty and I really enjoyed the chicken taco and steak taco that I had. They also brought us several different whole jalapeño peppers. I'm looking forward to dining here again soon. It is a very small restaurant so watch out for lunch rushes. read more

Well you always start with chips, but these were old and the salsa tasted like watered down ketchup with cilantro. Nasty. The steak was super tough, I ordered 3 tacos de asada. The service was ok. The price was fine, but I would rather pay a little more for better quality. read more

It's been 4 years. Good time for an update. Today, I got a chicken taco and a lechon taco with chips and a drink. I ate in and wasn't aware that I got free chips and salsa as part of the deal, or for that matter, table service. Next time I'll leave a tip when I pay... or pay after the meal is done. Whoops. Total cost: $6.10. The chips are still homemade and still fantastic, and the salsa that comes with the chips is just as good as ever (today, I particularly noticed the crunchy raw onion and fresh cilantro). The tacos in particular have taken a step up in quality. I love that the small, soft corn tortilla shells actually taste like corn. There was plenty of meat and veggies on the tacos. And speaking of the meat, I deem the lechon taco 100% Filipino-approved. What a fantastic, smoky cut of meat. Diced small, crunchy bits where some skin made its way in. This the perfect taco. The chicken taco didn't lack, either; it was pulled dark meat, so far as I could tell, seasoned nicely. Combine this great food with awesome prices, and you have a place that I'd recommend to anyone in Carol Stream. read more
