Ala carte tacos
Jaslyn S.

In the area and decided to try. The outside does not look so great , very simple place and the inside has about 10 tables . Upon seating you are served with tortilla chips and get to choose your choice of salsa , there are many options. There was 3 of us , one order was of three tacos ala carte (pastor, steak and chicharron) which was rated an 8. Another order was the enfrijoladas, never heard of before but was very fresh and delicious, I was offered a sample. I had the quesobirria tacos , the meat was very tasty and consume was good. Glad we stopped in this place and will Definitely be back to try something else!

Awesome salsas at the salsa bar!
Joan S.

I adore the salsas on their salsa bar!!! I had a hard time deciding what to get, but ended up getting skirt steak and eggs. I added some of the items on the salsa bar and it was absolutely delicious! They also give complimentary chips and little cups to get salsa at the salsa bar. One star off only because she forgot to give me my 10% Yelp check in discount.

Chilaquiles
Mike M.

Mexican breakfast? Yes please! Quiet and unassuming, this is the quintessential hidden gem. I had an appointment at the VA nearby and decided to stop for breakfast beforehand. Had a little trouble finding the front door and it was jammed so I thought maybe it was closed. A tug on the screen and I was in luck. It was quiet inside but it was a Tuesday, so. Service was quick and attentive, and the coffee AMAZING! Tasted of cinnamon added to a good hot cup of diner java, and the mug was so cool made me wish I had one in my cupboard. The chilaquiles were quite delicious, maybe could've used some shredded chicken to earn the extra star. I'd come back again, and bring friends.

Enchiladas
Betsy N.

Wonderful food and friendly service!!!! Dad's fish was awesome. Corn tortillas were amazing. Green enchiladas were best I ever had. No rush, sit back and enjoy!!!

Al pastor taco dinner
Mia H.

The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly! The salsa bar was a very interesting feature and made the restaurant feel more welcoming. Probably one of the best al pastor tacos I will ever have and I will definitely be coming back!

Jay F.

Highly disappointed. Taste was good, service is good. But i found a hair inside my taco and my family got food poison. I have to belive this was just a fluke. As they have so many good reviews. But unfortunately this was my experience

Cheese enchiladas with guajillo sauce topped with chorizo and potatoes and just a few of the fantastic salsas.
Michelle M.

Great food, prices and the owner is very nice. Love the salsa bar! Pictured here are cheese enchiladas with guajillo sauce topped with chorizo and potatoes (and just a few of the fantastic salsas). The owner mentioned they also offer take out, delivery and catering as well.

Breakfast Burrito and potatoes with some chips at the top and 2 El Pastor tacos and some chips at the bottom. Fresh guacamole between the 2

Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more! Appetizers Selected: Mac & Cheese Bites, Bacon Wrapped Dates w Honey Citrus Sauce, Cocktail Meatballs, Bruschetta Bar Salad Selected: Mixed Field Greens w Pears, Goat Cheese, Pear Infused Vinaigrette. *Alts: Candied Walnuts & Second Balsamic Dressing to offer Dinner Selections: 1. Filet w Red Wine Demi Sauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, & Asparagus 2. Garlic & Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Vodka Sauce w Bowtie Noodles, & Grilled Veggies 3. Butternut Squash Ravioli w Sage Brown Butter Sauce, Grilled Veggies *Kid's Meals & Vegan Meal offered otherwise at no upcharge Dessert Selections: 1. Mini Cookie Tray- Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Sugar, M&M, Double Chocolate, Peanut Butter 2. Assorted Chocolate Truffles- Oreo, Buckeye, Aztec

Disappointing experience despite a fresh and new business relationship. We have used this catering…read morecompany for multiple corporate events and have spent considerable money with them. Historically, the food and service have been very good, which makes our experience with our most recent BBQ event particularly disappointing. The weather was questionable the morning of the event, so we understood the decision to precook the burgers and brats. However, the weather ultimately cooperated, and the event proceeded as planned. We specifically requested that we use at least one large gas grill we provided, even if only to keep the grill/char lines going, but that did not happen. The catering team arrived on time, but the setup was not completed as expected. Two chefs who had originally been scheduled to be onsite to cook the food ultimately spent much of the event standing around with very little involvement. More importantly, the food was served lukewarm to cold even though it arrived in hotboxes, and some food was undercooked/raw. The sternos were not lit until well after the food had been set up and less than 10 minutes before mealtime, which did little to address the temperature problem. For the price we paid, the quality of service and temperature of the food were simply not acceptable. I immediately raised my concerns with the event planner after the event. When I didn't receive a follow-up, I emailed to express our disappointment. To the event planner's credit, she responded and said the owner wanted to address the matter personally and would contact me after returning from out of town. That was over a month ago, and we have still received no communication. A coworker who also helps coordinate our company events separately contacted her point of contact at the company, but also received no response. What is most disappointing is not simply that one event did not meet expectations. We have been a significant repeat customer, and we expected our concerns to be acknowledged and addressed professionally. Instead, we received no follow-up at all. We have had good experiences with this caterer in the past, which is why this situation has been frustrating. Unfortunately, the combination of cold food, a lack of attention during the event, and zero follow-up afterward has made us decide to seek catering elsewhere for our corporate events.

We had the challenge of trying to do a COVID-era memorial for our mother, and the way Donna helped…read moreus pull it off was nothing short of miraculous! I'd heard from a few members of my mother's club about Taste of Home. I haven't lived in the area for quite some time, so all I could do was trust their experience; and I was so glad I did. I explained the need to put our socially-distancing guests at ease with a range of outdoor, afternoon finger food that was individually-wrapped. Donna recommended an array of appetizer sandwiches and cookies that turned out to be real crowd pleasers! Eliminating the use for any utensils was certainly the way to go, and as if to underline that point, trays of non-wrapped cookies and cakes that people brought were hardly touched. My family is so pleased with the outcome, my area siblings are all looking into using Taste of Home for family dinners. We believe in keeping our purchasing as local as possible during this economic uncertainty, and Taste of Home has provided another great Hinsdale option for when cooking is better off done by someone else. Their menu offers great variety for any sort of audience or occasion, so before you order a pizza for the umpteenth time, give Donna and her team a go! Thanks ever, Donna! On a day when I had zero bandwidth for orchestrating a light meal for 40 people, you came through brilliantly! (Insert hearts and stars here!)

i really hope this place will never reopen again! Half of my Baby Shower guests got food poisoning…read moreafter eating their food!

Had my wedding over the weekend and while I loved it, I can't say it was stress free (tears were…read moreshed, hair fell out, etc.). I can say Marie's Catering saved my wedding... trust me... I am forever THANKFUL. Their experience, organization, and just willingness to commit to making this day so special. From the start, we loved their food and knew immediately they were it. We even did an additional tasting to look at other options on their menu. Wedding day ... everything that could have happened to us ... happened (never returning to our venue ever). Luckily none of the guests found out because they were all distracted about the food. During contrail hour, the staff was nonstop bringing appetizers because people were taking thirds, fourths, etc. & I'm still hearing about it! Then dinner was exquisite. The portion of the food is very notable... GENEROUS and FILLING. Even my pickiest family members were asking for more. We had a lot of DIYs and they accommodated all of them. Even the ones I brought last minute. And the staff -- every single person -- was so kind, friendly, and just lovely to be around. The bartenders were absolute champs. They even went above and beyond to make us happy while our venue was being EXTRAORDINARILY difficult. Stephanie even came to help us de stress us & the bartenders were just phenomenal - trust me, our 170 guests do not mess around with an open bar. In conclusion, our venue.. never again. Marie's catering would choose all over again! Thank you again!! I don't have photos of our food at the moment, but wanted to share photos because it ended up being such a beautiful day

Everything went well!! The food was amazing!! It was a touch of heaven on earth!! From the food to…read moredrink to the customer service, all I can say is everything was a cut above. I am excited for them to comeback.
