I order 6 special tacos, thinking i was going to get a good meal, turns out i almost die. There was a twist tie inside one of the tacos!. I don't know if it was on purpose or accidentally fell in there, all i know is that i will be avoiding this establishment.

Huevos Con Chorizo
Jeff V.

I work nearby and stop in often for lunch. Service is always quick and attentive. I love that every table has a container of pickled veggies to snack on while I wait for my meal. I love their steak tortas, tacos, and huevos con chorizo. A colleague gets the taco platter on Tuesdays and raves about the value and delicious food. Today I enjoyed huevos con chorizo and could not even finish it since they are so generous with the servings!

A delicious torta ... but they didn't cut it in half all the way.

Service is great, the servers are so friendly. The food is good and is better then other taquerias. But the quality of the food has gone down a lot and the prices went up.

Torta de milanesa
Diosmery R.

The torta's meat was chewy and had a lot of cartilage in it. Terrible quality meat. The vegetables were fresh though.

3 taco dinner and guac

This place served high quality, authentic Mexican food. I liked that there were 17 different choices of meat and that you could mix and match for your meal. There were also spicy carrots and peppers on the table for you to enjoy. Homemade chips came with the guacamole, too. The place had plenty of seating but also offered curbside pick-up via their app. We dined in and our service was prompt and friendly. We had two 3 taco dinners, chips & guac, and 2 drinks for $41. The prices were a bit high but the food was great and worth the money. We'll be back.

This is absolutely disgusting from los Comales in Elgin. I get if there's a little browning but this is basically black ! They apparently don't do refunds either which is absolutely ridiculous. Just beware. And they don't even care. This food was for my mother. She's such a sweet lady and didn't want any problems so she told me to drop it and not call or bother. But how can I not ?! Thankfully she listened to me and didn't eat it cause she would've without the avocado of course. They only offered to replace that plate of food. I also wanted a refund because that's disgusting but no. Sooooo here is your yelp shit review!

Late night snack

Good Taco, great value and a nice looking place. Added a star for the fact that the young lady who took my order(Annabel) had a smile on her face and was extremely pleasant at 1:30 am. El pastor Taco tasted great. Skirt Steak so so Will revisit this review after trying the food again. But will definitely visit again

As you can see, ALL FREAKING BEANS! SERIOUSLY?!

We're originally from Arizona so our bar for Mexican is ridiculously high. We've had a lot of…read moretrouble finding comparable food out here. We finally stumbled on No Manches and we can say without reservation that they have the best Mexican food we've had in the 20+ years we've lived here. The Tri Color Burrito is my absolute favorite and I recently commented to a friend that its made my "if I could only have one food on a deserted island for the rest of my life" list. Its that good. The margaritas are excellent as well. In terms of negatives, the prices are high and the music can be very loud if you want to have group conversations. Our server even got our order wrong the last time we were there because she couldn't hear us! That said, any cons are definitely outweighed by the pros. Everyone we've taken there has been thoroughly impressed.

We stopped in for the ribbon cutting of No Manches' new expansion. The extra seating will come in…read morehandy on the weekend, but on as it was Monday morning we took the opportunity to try something new to us in addition to our normal tres colored burrito (fantastic as always): the chile relleno tacos off the brunch menu. Simply spectacular! I've had the dish before at multiple authentic grills, but as usual No Manches took a standard and adds an extra level of sophistication. The service as always was great and the additional space is destined to increase the ambiance.

I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.

My wife and I are pretty stuffed right now! I had the quesabirria tacos and she had a spicy shrimp dish with avocado and tortillas. Oh, and we had the nachos with a flight of 5 delicious salsas, as an appetizer. In the end, Orale felt different. It had a city vibe to it. We dug it and will be back for more. Near Hanover Park and in the mood for some Mexican cuisine? Check out Orale!

Found myself way down Randall Road and in the mood for pollo rostizado but given that it was close…read moreto 8pm I knew the likelihood of that happening was very low if I headed back home so I did a quick search and found that Elgin had their own (original?) Casa del Pollo Asado that stays open until 9pm. I took that as a good sign and headed that way. The restaurant is pretty big with a good amount of tables and booths. It's counter service with self-serve fountain drinks and salsas. They also have beer for sale. I originally was just going to order an 8 pc of only chicken but since I had driven out I decided to make it worth my while and get the 12 pc meal. They were unfortunately out of corn as a side so I got mashed potatoes and beans. They have big TVs in one section of the dining area and a World Cup match was on. My order was ready in about 5 minutes and I'm happy to say that the roasted chicken was still steaming hot and delicious when I got it all the way back home. The salsas are all very good although I didn't get any pico de gallo because it looked pretty soggy. The beans are good and the fries are fine but the mashed potatoes and gravy could use some revamping. Also, I felt like I we didn't get very many grilled onions or chiles with our order. Those things in combination with the slightly high price is what make me not so confident I'll make the trek back to this Casa del Pollo Asado soon.
