We have been on the "greatest taco in our area" hunt for about a year. Memo's is one of our top faves. My husband and daughter tried it without me one Saturday afternoon. They described in mouth-watering detail how good it was. I forced them to take me the next week. We have been back many times since then. The tacos are always good, and we have tried quite the variety. The barria tacos are a favorite of both my adult-ish kids (19 and 17). The tortas are fantastic. We haven't had a bad meal. The hot sauce is perfect. Service can be a little slow, especially if they are busy filling to-go orders. Silver lining... food is freshly made and hot! The restaurant is always clean and quiet. read more

Memo’s Tacos - First time ordering from here for me to get an extra ingredient on my damn taco "hair" - Mexican Near Me - Cary, Illinois

I absolutely love their food here!! Especially their flautas! Large portion, absolutely more than enough for one person. I've also had their cheese enchiladas and their nachos and both are absolutely amazing too. Definitely no complaints on the portions. Even the small nachos. I consider large. I've been here many times to take food home as I live pretty close. The food is always hot when I get home and it is extremely fresh. I've never been disappointed with them. Thank you memos!! read more

Memo and his wife are always cooking up something good for us to eat! Their fish tacos are insanely tasty and portioned very generously. The counter service is always a pleasant experience! Very polite and helpful ladies at the front. When you're sitting inside Memo's Tacos, it makes you feel like you're at a taqueria in the Motherland! Very cozy inside. read more

Went here tonight with my husband, as we wanted to try them out. We decided to eat in, and we were able to sit right away. We were given chips and salsa, and the chips were good and crispy. However, the salsa could have used some more salt and lime, but it wasn't bad. I got three tacos, two asada and one al pastor. The tacos were good! The tortillas were corn and had good flavor. The meat wasn't fatty and it was cooked well. I even enjoyed the pork, as some places make their al pastor too wet. The only thing that could have made them better would be the price; $3.50 per taco is expensive! Especially as these were street tacos. My husband had the burrito dinner, and he ordered a chili relleno taco. He did order his burrito with avocado and sour cream ($1.00 extra), but there was no avocado and sour cream in his burrito. That's okay, as we realize that the workers are still finding their flow with everything. He said the burrito was good, and the rice and beans were not bad, as well. He really enjoyed the taco, but also said the price was too much ($5.00). Overall, we definitely hope this place sticks around, but they do need to lower some of their prices, as there are other places where you can get a taco for less than $2.50. read more

i just tried the quessobirria for the first time. i am a fan. amazing taste and aroma.. read more

I went here one night for carry out and was surprised as to how well the dinning area was (very quaint) The hostess was very pleasant. I ordered (3) chicken tacos and then i went over to Cuco's and ordered 3 chicken tacos to see if there was a difference ( I love Cuco's) I was plently surprised that I like the Memo's tacos a little better and one of their hot sauces was tastier also , the tacos from Memos cost more but were larger in size so I beleive the codt evened itself out . to summerize the visit Good service good tacos graet sauce. I'd say Thumbs up its a good clean place and I do recommend read more

We were so excited when this restaurant opened. We decided to give it a try and were beyond disappointed. The interior was beautiful and the service was excellent, polite and friendly. The food on the other hand was just awful. The ranchera sauce tasted like tomato paste straight out of a can, all the food was greasier than it should have been and after finishing our meals, the food sat in our stomach like a concrete block. read more

After driving past Memo's countless times, I had to try them. In comparison to several other Mexican places in the area, it's clean, smallish, so no large groups. I ordered a steak burrito suizo dinner, in a perfect world, it would have more sauce, but it was still good. The rice and beans didn't stand out in any way, good or bad I ordered the chips and salsa, which I use to measure against other restaurants. The salsa is solid, not my favorite, but better than many. Knowing I would be chilling the next day, I ordered a few al pastor tacos to reheat the next day. Again, good but not particularly standing out in any way. I would definitely eat here again. Nothing wrong with anything that I tried, but nothing to woo me away from my favorite local places either. read more

Great tacos and fajitas. Homemade recipes and fresh ingredients. Salsas and homemade guacamole are outstanding. Might have to wait a bit, but worth it. read more

Memo’s Tacos - Taco Al Pastor with avocado. Yummy. - Mexican Near Me - Cary, Illinois

Came here for lunch one day looking at try new spot. Tacos were good I would get again. The guacamole was not so good... You can tell they used hard boiled eggs in there which made it taste more like an egg salad. It was quiet as we're the only ones in there and service was slow would like to try again at dinner time to see if anything changes. read more

Memo’s Tacos - Steak tacos and one el pastor - Mexican Near Me - Cary, Illinois

Drove by this place and decided to give them a try. Food was made ready fast. I enjoyed the guacamole. If you do not like cilantro then ask not to have it included. I like that they chop up the tomatoes small. It just needed to be smashed a little better because there were two large avocado chunks. I also got the cheese enchiladas with red sauce. They were mild which I like. I know another review said the food could use my flavor. I think that is true but I would rather it be made mild then too spicy. I will go back. read more

Drove by for past 2 years. Finally stopped in for an enchilada dinner! Wow! It was excellent. Food was delicious and everything tastes fresh, like home made. The red sauce was delicious as well. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

It's the day after the Cinco de Mayo themed birthday party and everyone raved about the tacos. The tacos and the accompaniments were plentiful and well presented. The menu at the restaurant has some interesting choices and from what we witnessed when we were there, huge portions. There are many many choices when it comes to Dining Mexicana, but this is above the others in taste and value. read more

We went to Memo's a week ago. We waited over one hour while dining in and the service was so slow that we had to get our dinners to go and eat them at home because we had to get to a play in Crystal Lake. Decent food but horrible service which is too bad when we want to support a family business. read more

Great local family spot. My wife had taco combo loved the chicken and chorizo beans and rice on point. I had Al pastor burrito it was delicious homemade sauces a great addition. If you enjoy great food at a wonderful hard working family spot check out Memos read more

The burrito here is decent and their red sauce is smoky and delicious. That's about it though. Sope was chewy, anything fried had a fishy/shrimpy flavor that I assume was from the grease, and everything needed salt. Refried beans were ok, rice was flavorless. read more

I was traveling for work and trying to avoid chain fast food. This place was great. I ordered steak tacos and a chicken burrito with a coke. The steak was a little grisly. Everything else was fine. Food was served quickly. Very nice people. Would come back again. read more

My wife and I have dined here twice. The first time they had Tamales (not always available) and they were excellent, I had a Sope dinner and they were fresh and delicious. It appears to be a small family owned place that has the owner and kids sometimes working. A nice throwback against all the chain places. It's pretty nice having such a great little Mexican place close by. Like most places that have the owner working there at all times it's good and they seem to care deeply about the quality based on the conversations I have had with him. They didn't have Tamales the last time we were there and my wife picked up the Enchilada's instead. They were excellent as well. I can't speak to the affordability of the place as I am not really sure what I would compare it to. We have had a lot of chain food and it was less expensive than the larger chain places I guess. Also I am not sure they have alcohol, but they do have large Mexican coke in the bottles so you won't hear me complain! read more

Delicious tacos - recommend the fried poblano taco (can't recall the exact name). Really friendly people!

I was excited to try this place. We were a table of 3. Our server brought us chips and salsa. Chips were good - salsa was ok needed more lime, salt and some heat. We ordered: 3 steak taco dinner, 2 Al pastor and a chicken burrito. Everything came out fresh. Taste wise it lacked flavor. The salsa verde was very spicy and the red salsa was tasty. I understand they are still new and works the kinks out. Food is authentic but in order to comete with El Sombero or Cuco's they need to adjust their flavors. Perhaps it was an off day. read more

I wish I had taken pictures but the food smells and looks so good and well I was hungry. I ordered the grilled fish tacos and they were very tasty and tons of fish. My husband had the chicken fajitas and they were great. Tons of food and now he's has leftovers. My son ordered the steak tacos and he gave them two thumbs up. Overall we give them Out of five tacos. we will be back sooner than later. read more

My wife & I went there today. We both had the 3 taco dinner with chicken. The taco's were very good, but then we got the bill--- The meals were $12.99 each which seemed pretty much in line with other places, but we didn't expect them to add to the prices for the lettuce, tomato, cheese & avocado. An extra $3 for mine because I ordered what it showed on the menu. Extra $.75 for my wife because she said no avocado. To top it off, they added $1.28 to the bill for a "checkout fee". With a 20% tip and taxes, we paid $42.39. If you go, be careful of the "add-ons" read more

Thought I'd give the new place in town a try. Was brave and ordered the steak tampiquena and ordered it medium. I received a steak that was tough, well done, and looked like it was stepped on and I had to fight with it with a butter knife because a steak knife wasn't provided. Flavors were ok, but their red salsa was gross. Chips were clearly not even fried in house, store bought. Should have just gone to Cuco's or El Sombrero in Fox River Grove so that mistake won't be made again. read more
