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. read more

Taco Thursday? Don't mind if I do! Los Comales is a staple for my coworkers! I've had it numerous times in the past, but this was my first time having it in years! I ordered the Taco Combo that came with 3 tacos with your choice of meat, rice, beans, and a 16oz beverage of choice. I ordered a cesina taco, a carne asada taco, and a pollo adobado taco. It was my first time ordering a cesina taco and I'm so glad I did. It was delicious! Usually my go-to is carne asada but it was a little chewier than usual and it just didn't compare to the tender cesina taco. The chicken was alright, but the cesina was amazing! And I chose their refreshing and perfectly sweet jamaica as my drink! My favorite! Check out @taqueria_loscomales for your next Mexican food craving! And if you've never had them before, try the cesina tacos!! Yum! read more

Dude... my friend was adamant on coming here one day because he was hungry and was a huge fan, so I was like ok whatever right .... Turns out this place it literally possibly the BEST quesadilla I've ever had.. and I'm actually Mexican. Got the chicken quesadilla- again, on a whim - and holy shit, I'm gonna be actually telling people about this damn quesadilla. Very happy new customer here. read more

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! read more

I had a good experience at Los Comales until I tried one of there Burrito combo , I noticed the burrito was much smaller and barely any meat and I ordered extra avocado and I didn't notice any extra avocado, I just know that I will stay away from the combos on my next visit, besides that the service was very good and my food was made quick and the carrots were really good read more

Amazing but it's kinda expensive for just four tacos And not really nice customer service read more

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. read more

Los Comales Elgin - A delicious torta ... but they didn't cut it in half all the way. - Mexican Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

Always amazing food and service! Love the chips! So good and fresh and you can always count on great service!

Muy mala atención al cliente, me trajeron la orden mal dos veces, y esperé 20 minutos para que me la trajeran otra vez y nunca llegó. La mesera fue muy grosera al atender y quiso cobrarnos por cosas que no consumimos read more

What the... I like their food but tonight I called for a pick up order and talked to a woman who didn't speak much English and she treated me like she was offended because I didn't speak Spanish. I was NOT patronizing, insulting or anything at all. I was nice. I never thought I would see that in an English speaking country where you're made to feel like you don't belong because you don't speak Spanish. They should have a designated employee who will take the English speaking calls if the person doesn't want to deal with them. At the close of the call, I thanked her and she just said uh huh like who cares and hung up. And I didn't even complete the sentence. If you don't want white English speaking people there, put a sign on your door and a message on your system. They weren't like this before; she pretty much makes me not want to go back. read more

The food is really good. The only reason I can't give them five starts is because they won't refill sodas. Come on, guys. What year is this? Every sit-down restaurant in the country will refill your sodas. But not this place. Sorry, that's a deal breaker. Could have been great .... read more

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. read more

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! read more

Honestly WORST service ever! Unfortunately I couldn't leave 0 starts thus the reason for the one. I'm not going to waist more time on this restaurant just please trust me not worth it. Prices are too high for the quality of food and service. read more

I'm surprised the rating is so low. They serve some of the best steak tacos I've ever had - love that they serve so many different types of meat. My faves are the suadero, milanesa, cesina and bistek. All especial (sour cream and avocado). My husband gets the al pastor too. We get it every time we're in the area. They've never gotten my order wrong but I always order to go anyway so I can't comment on service. read more

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 read more

I had high hopes on this place as there's so many positive reviews. So my husband and his friends just went here an hour ago to have some tacos. I texted him that I want a burrito but NO beans and avocado. I patiently waited for him to come home and gives me the burrito. Guess what?! My very first bite is beans. I didn't even want it anymore. How can this restaurant be open still if they cannot comprehend a simple instruction? Or they just love to piss off customers?? I told my husband about it and he was also pissed. Well, never again! Keep it up though. Maybe someday a customer who has an allergy to beans sue you guys and then you'll take the requests seriously. read more

Los Comales Elgin - As you can see, ALL FREAKING BEANS! SERIOUSLY?! - Mexican Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

Always great. Every Mexican I know recommends this place. Been going since the first one opened in Melrose Park about 30 years ago.

Honestly. This place is the bomb & they keep getting better. They've gone to electronic ordering & before our waitress even finished taking our entire order, the chips & guac we ordered was brought out. And the rest of our food was out in no time at all. Freshly made, delicious food mind you. Hands down, my favorite local Mexican food joint. You guys are superstars!!! read more

Place should be shut down! Price gouging in the middle of a pandemic is an understatement! I was charged $16.31 for 1 steak taco dinner! Sorry this isn't Vegas, Miami or LA. What is going on! I've ate here for 10+ years it was always under $10. STAY AWAY! You lost a customet for life! Hope you go out of business read more

Excellent tacos! Their response to serving during the Covid-19 pandemic has been phenomenal and extremely efficient.

One of the Places to stop for some Mexican Cuisine and Snacks! Open LATE!!! I believe they offer delivery now through some Apps

Food is good and the cost is very reasonable. The service is always warm and friendly.

Good tacos, not the best I've ever had but steak was flavorful and fresh. There is practically no wait for the food which if hungry and can't wait is awesome. Love the carrots and peppers on the table and service was so nice and friendly. read more

I'll be frank, this place is not easy on the eyes. Don't go here if you need a swanky atmosphere to enjoy your meal. My boyfriend is Mexican so he's always making me go to Mexican restaurants. I say making me because I have yet to enjoy a Mexican restaurant in Chicago. After getting food poisoning at Uncle Julio's, I vowed to never eat Mexican food in Chicago again. Seriously, I kicked and screamed but finally relented because it was a celebratory event for him. Service is decent. It took a little long for the waitress to come to our table at first. I had to flash her a death stare to finally get her attention. The food was pretty good. The rice and refried beans were delicious and the meat tasted good but was a bit chewy. Also, I believe some if not all of it is pre cooked. I asked for carne asada and she said the only carne asada they had was the kind you stuff in a taco...meaning it was cut into small pieces already. I didn't think about it at the time but if they're cooking from scratch they should've been able to give me a whole one. Either way, it's not a huge deal because places like Chipotle cook in bulk but I do question how long it was since the batch I ate was made. Especially, since I had a terrible stomach ache about 2 hours later. read more

Los Comales is good but not the best tacos. They are open late, so good for late night tacos (after drinking). My favorite thing to order is the lengua taco dinner with sour cream and avocado. One thing I do love from there is the pickled jalapeños, carrots and cauliflower! read more

This is a very family friendly restaurant to eat in, the service is very good, the food is tasty and I'll definitely come again, highly recommend! read more

PROCEED WITH HEAVY CAUTION. Every time I've been here something has been wrong - whether it's by being overcharged for entrees I didn't receive - or by having entire burritos just fall apart because of the poor quality. Either the cooks don't care, or the management doesn't care, and here it looks like a big mixture of both. Save your money, even el parasio down the street has given me better service than this. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Don't make my mistake read more

Food outstanding. They are terribly unorganized. Losing orders, people waiting 90 minutes past their order times. If I did not prepay I would have left. Ordered at 4.45 and now 7.20 and still no food. read more

The food was okay, not really good though and still, the bill was much more than I expected for a place like this. The bistec taco were very, very, greasy. The meat had a lot of fat even though it was one of their premium meats. The same for the pastor tacos. Service was poor too, the waiters seemed as they didn't really want to be there. Overall wouldn't recommend and will not go back. read more

I had the steak torta and my son had the steak burrito. Best torta I've ever had. Service was super fast and everything was delicious.

Literally it seems that every single time I order from this place they get something wrong, I used to swear by this place and now it's a miracle if any of the food tastes okay, whenever we call to complain they tell us to come back the next day to fix it and whenever we do they say they can't help us? If you even think about going here just know that none of the people here care about the service they provide you, I wouldn't be surprised if we found out they were spitting in our food read more

Every time I purchase any meat there it is always super dry and hard. The tortillas for the tacos feel like they just took it out of the bag and didn't warm it up. I go back once in a while to see if they improved but I still get the same mediocre quality of a taco, torta, or burrito. It is so unpleasant to take a bite out of a taco and struggle trying to chew it. They also chop their meat way too big and on top of that it was probably left too long sitting on the comal. I would like to have fresh tacos with meat that I can chew and enjoy. read more

With so many Mexican restaurants in town how do you choose the best one? Easy, once you go here you may not want to even try any other places in town. The first hint you're in a local favorite place is the tables are all filled early Sunday morning. Then suddenly you look behind the register and see 8-10 carry out orders waiting for pick up. As fast as one goes out the phone rings at the same time another order is ready. From the minute you look at the tortilla you know something is different. Once you bite into one you're hooked. These are the usual store bought and microwaved tortillas these baby's are home made and make everything taste better. The steak burrito was like heaven, loaded with meat and everything it takes to fill you up. I've eaten bigger burritos but not better, don't get me wrong they're not small. Some places like to brag about how big there's are and like that guy who did it just isn't as good. Chilaquiles with salsa verde and chicken would be the most requested last meal on death row if the only knew to ask for it. The flavor is a party in your mouth and even once you've eaten all you can you'll want another bite it's so good. read more
