I used to go to this place every day almost for my lunch break when they first opened their location in aurora next to the guitar center. Let me tell you I crave their steak tacos to this day, it's truly no joke. And I've travelled far and wide since then. Every location is pretty consistent too which I'm impressed by. The service is always great when I go, and they're always more than happy to help if you have questions. I'm pretty sure it's been over 10 years or close to it since then and I've moved out of state since then, but I still bring everyone I come to town with here. read more

I drive by this place all the time so we decided to come here one night. After walking in, my first thoughts are that this place is way more authentic than Burrito Parrilla Mexicana (Lisle location). That place is white people Mexican food. Taco Dale, it's good to see Mexicans eating there and getting takeout orders. I ordered the milanesa platter and one al pastor taco. My girlfriend ordered the taco salad. Service was very friendly and the place was clean. Prices were fair for what you get. I first ate the al pastor taco. I loved how they were generous with meat. Before I put any sauce on it, the meat was well seasoned. I got milanesa with breaded chicken. The breaded chicken was very tasty. The platter comes with some flour tortillas that you can make tacos. You'll definitely be full after eating this. I recommend getting the horchata or jamaica drinks. read more

The food was great. The menu was very extensive. I had the Carne Asada Dinner. I can't recall ever having a better one. The steak was large, perfectly cooked (medium rare) and although a lesser cut of beef was flavorful and tender. The extra beans and extra rice options were worth an extra $2, I appreciated the many customizations that were available. My wife had a Steak Fajita Taco and a Kids Quesadilla which she enjoyed. The only negative was that I had problems trying to set up an account. I shall have to try again. read more

Sope - 4/5 - good taste fried jelepeno- 4/5 spicy read more

Taco dale in lisle is a must try place for great Mexican food at a reasonable price. The staff of Miguel and Henry go out of their way to make sure your dining experience is excellent and your take out order is always complete and accurate. Great stop for Mexican food. read more

Tremendous neighborhood restaurants. Attentive service. Innovative dishes. They asked if I wanted American or Mexican seasoning... of course Mexican. I love that they carry lengua tacos. Autentico!!!! read more

Can't recommend this place more! Great kids menu, super fast service, the nachos were awesome, big portions. The establishment was VERY clean (even the bathrooms). The staff were friendly and kind. Such a gem for a hole in the wall! I just wish the Lisle location had ice cream! read more

Taco dale please stop being skimpy with the salsas for the to go order meals especially when you ask specifically for extra and get home and there's only one or two. I come here frequently because it's my favorite local Mexican restaurant and even hype it up to all of my friends nearby. But I'm starting to not want to come here because it's expensive and then they don't even give you enough salsa for your tacos. It's sad that I have to change my review from 5 to 3. read more

I had the chicken enchiladas. They were on the drier side. Tasted good but nothing I'd get again. Rice and beans were good. read more

Ordered the tacos quesabirrias and wow- they were great! Fresh, flavorful and now my go to favorite. And the dip was phenomenal too. Definitely a lunchtime popular hotspot for carryouts and online orders. Owner goes above and beyond too. A+ all around read more

This is a wonderful place with excellent food and friendly service. I had the mixed taco plate. Yum! read more

Not what it used to be - food was subpar- taste should reflect the prices. Fountain drinks are not worth the cost, all flavors were flat.

First time going here tonight. Just ordered pickup and my first impression was very good because the man who gave me my food was super nice and we had a little conversation. I'd love to dine in here sometime. As for the food, I got the Chile relleno dinner and it was very good and filling. This is only my second time ever eating Chile rellenos but to me it seemed very eggy. Like there was a lot of extra breading. Not a big deal, I'll just try something different next time! Overall good first experience! read more

Taco Dále - Mexican Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

The menu here is almost overwhelmingly expansive. There's a lot to choose from so you need some time to look over the menu. Everything that you get though is delicious!! from the chips and salsa to the homemade Horchata, to any entree, you will leave absolutely full on top of that. The service is absolutely terrific and the prices are pretty decent as well especially for the portion size that you get. I told them I was a new customer and they went above and beyond to make sure that I liked everything and that they also checked in throughout the meal to make sure that I was satisfied!! WOW!! Actual hospitality !! you don't see service like that anymore, and they have earned my business Not only this time but moving forward! I would give them 20 stars if I could read more

I've been here 2x and both times the steak burritos were fantastic. Tender marinated steak w the perfect ratio of lettuce beans rice cheese & cream. The mild salsas are fresh & light. Not too much heat. Delicious! read more

I'm giving it 5 stars because aside from Garcia's on Western and Lawrence in Chicago, I believe this is the best Mexican food in the Chicagoland area. The staff is far more friendly than the location on 59 in Aurora. I haven't had anything from this location that I haven't liked. read more

Fantastic food and service! Both my boyfriend & I got the Chicken chimichanga & he got a side of fries. We both think a good cheese sauce over the chimichanga would have made it better tho! Otherwise everything was magnificent, from the overall vibes of the restaurant to the staff & food read more

So, I'm still not sure how to pronounce the name of this place (I want to say Dah-lay but the accent is in the wrong place?), but I have seen a few pop up around the area and finally decided to try the one near me last night. Don't know if it was a typical thing or everyone wanting Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo, but the line was out the door when I arrived. The staff were all hauling butt to get everyone served quickly. There seemed to be quite a few regulars in line so they must have a local following, and the two peopleI interacted with were very friendly. Since the sign by the register says "no substitutions" i wanted to be sure to get something simple and went with the fajita tacos in steak and shrimp. It says served with bell pepper and onion and i confirmed with the girl on the register that this was all that came on it...she said yes, but when I got it home it had tomato as well. Not sure if this was a kitchen error or not, but if this is intended to be part of the dish they need to specify, because leaving off one ingredient can be a problem for people with allergies. There are many choices from tacos and tortas to enchiladas and soups. One lady in line told me she just picks up chips and salsa, and that when the chips are fresh cooked they're "like popcorn." Since this place is nearby I will likely visit again. read more

Great food, amazing service, and the food is always consistent. This is one of our go to Mexican spot in the Western suburbs

Just stumbled across this place while looking for another Mexican food options. We shall look no further, Taco Dale is the best Mexican restaurant in the area. We have ordered from them twice this past week and we are extremely satisfied with our options both times. Their Mexican nachos are outstanding, the tamales are huge and seasoned perfection. Our family is quite excited to try many more options from this new addition to our food rotation. read more

My husband and I love this place - the food is delicious, online ordering is easy and prompt, and the people are friendly. Can't wait to order again! We moved to the area about 6 months ago, and Taco Dale is by far my favorite Mexican food we've had nearby. read more

Very nice people and food was pretty good. You can tell its authentic. Its a nice little quick date night spot if you're feeling mexican. I also liked how clean it was. read more

We ordered a handful of tacos al pastor with traditional toppings. It was our first time trying this place as Lisle has many Mexican food offerings. We placed the order to go along with an order of chips and salsa. The tacos were quite good and enjoyable. We tried both the mild and spicy salsas on the tacos. Neither was overly spicy. Neither were particularly memorable. The tortilla chips were delicious! Warm and crispy and fresh. Loved the chips. Our knock on the food was the salsa that came with the chips. Seemed thin and watery. We prefer a chunkier salsa for dipping. The service was good and staff friendly. The order was ready at the time estimated on the website. Only had to wait a minute, but I'd rather wait a bit than have it sitting around getting cold. All in all we'd order from here again. They are local for us, so why not? read more

Don't go here. The food smells like Burger King. Weird. Then if u order for pick up it always takes 10-15min longer than what they say it will take. read more

My family went here tonight and we all really enjoyed it. The food was fresh and made to perfection. The staff are kind and helpful. Looking forward to returning. read more

Great food but add an extra 20 minutes to your wait time everytime. They are notorious so taking FOREVER to fulfill an order. Other than that the place is great, but unreliable timing is a constant. This just happens EVERY single time I order anything or eat in. read more

I've picked up food from here, and also used delivery service (DoorDash). Food is priced competitively, and what sets it apart is the freshness of the ingredients. Their beans are homemade and not from a can. There is a small dining area inside and the place is very clean. There are a lot of Mexican restaurants in the area to choose from, and I've tried a few, but Taco Dale is number one with me... read more

Taco Dale became our weekly restaurant in the lisle area. We would bowl every Wednesday night and decided to find a spot near the bowling alley. As the alley itself didn't have quite appetizing food. It's quite easy to order. Just go up to the counter and place your order then take a seat and munch on chips and salsa while you wait. Very easy I must say. The girls at the counter where always super nice, and helpful. They knew their menu and gave us recommendations as to what they thought was the best on the menu. They pretty much told us everything was good. Lol. But that's what it's about, you sell the food not by signs but by word of mouth right. The owner was also very nice. He noticed us after the first couple weeks that he saw we would come consecutively. He would ask how we where and how our day was going. I like that about homey restaurants. I would comment on specific foods that we tasted but we had most of their menu items . So just know that the food is extremely good and tasteful. Give it a try my friends. read more

I'm not sure why I've never reviewed Taco Dale because it's truly the best Mexican food in the area! The food is consistently good and very flavorful. The owner, Miguel, is one of the kindest people I've met and he truly cares about his customers and the food he is serving. Great chips and salsa too! read more

I love this place. It is our go to carry out Mexican food restaurant. The food is great and always fresh. Good sized portions. The burritos are huge. The staff is friendly too. The dinning room is good size for a small place and always clean. Give it a try, I bet you go back!! BillO read more

The best Mexican food place. 5 stars explain everything! The nice staff. The selections and reasonable pricing. Renovated dining area too.

Great Mexican food and even better service from Miguel. We eat from here every friday

Downgraded my review based on stupid business decisions I just wanted a veggie breakfast burrito and they said I had to pay for each vegetable as an add on. Stupido. They used to do it for me all the time. Now i will never return! Don't be penny foolish. Last time you made it simple and I gladly payed. This time you want to get every penny and charge for each veggie as an add-on. That is crazy. I will now eat at the Mexican restaurant across the street read more

Tacos are very good here and prices are fair. Taco salad underwhelming, I will be back for a tacos but that's about it. The staff is very friendly but you definitely have to order ahead. read more
