I loved my chimichanga though they said there was sour cream in it along with lettuce and the fixins which I thought was strange for a chimichanga but no sour cream and lettuce on the side. My hubby said is burrito was just ok and the sauces were boring. But the prices were decent so I'll be back. Though the people behind me who sat down to eat got their food before I did and they had 4 meals so weird. read more

We like to go here for lunch. I usually get the taco salad with chicken. My boyfriend gets the flaunts with steak. The service is always good. read more

Best steak quesadilla ever period end of story. Best guess they grill the meat first prior to making the quesadilla. We also had the shrimp and Al Pastor taco Mexican style. Both good but the shrimp is better. The Nutella churro was excellent. This is whole in the wall restaurant gives you honest good food with humble prices to match. I don't usually Yelp suburban locations because no one reads it. We'll it's your loss. If you're ever around Bolingbrook come visit this place get the steak quesadilla and don't forget to thank me. read more

¡¡EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! There's a good reason Taco Dale is one of our favorite Mexican spots. Back when we lived closer to the city, my wife and I went to a few different places to enjoy chips + salsa while getting hammered--Margaritas on Oak Park Ave, Maria's on Harlem Ave--but have yet to find a suitable replacement in Bolingbrook (best we can do are tequila shots at home). We later found out about this delightful place in between Jewel Osco and Panera Bread on Boughton Rd. Though unassuming from the outside, over the years we've grown to love Taco Dale's commitment to authentic, tasty Mexican food. I'd estimate we've been here 10 times since moving to the area in 2020. Chips & salsa are free if you're dining in, otherwise it's $5.50 for carryout orders. Their house margaritas are delicious and fairly priced (starting at $7), plus you can add fruit mix-ins like mango, strawberry, and kiwi. Get 'em frozen or on the rocks! The Mexican style nachos ($5.25 for a 1/2 order) are terrific: individual chips topped with beans, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Add meat for $3 more--I recommend steak. Stop wasting your time with lame "American style" nachos, which are 80% dry chips and 20% soggy mess! Enchiladas Suizas ($13) have been my go-to: three tortillas filled w/beef, chicken, carnitas, or cheese, topped with salsa 'rojo' or 'verde' and served with beans, rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. The individual tacos ($3.50) are excellent, especially anything 'al pastor'. So far the star of the show has been the 'quesabirria' ($14), a trio of tacos with shredded beef, melted cheese, onions, cilantro, and a cup of consommé. This consommé is a broth similar to an Italian beef gravy or the 'au jus' served with a French dip sandwich, very dunk-able stuff. Bread = 5 Circuses = 4.5 You can get an elote (corn w/mayo, cotija cheese and chili powder) at the adjoining counter, regular ($4.25) or large ($7). They also have walking tacos (bag of fritos w/chili, cheese and onions) for $7. A large horchata is $3.25, bottled Jarritos are $3. Desserts include churros ($3.50), flan ($4.25), and scooped ice cream. They've got a freezer filled with paletas (frozen fruit bars) which come in two varieties: water-based for $2.75 (mango con chile, watermelon, strawberry) and cream-based for $3 (piña colada, pistachio, chocolate). The staff have always been kind and do their best to keep up with high demand of hungry patrons. I can't think of a single instance where our order got messed up or we were less than satisfied with something off of the menu. This Taco Dale has a VERY consistent track record.....they're basically batting 1.000. * TL;DR * There are other Taco Dale locations in Aurora, Lisle, and Romeoville, but this one is ours and we absolutely adore them. Taco Dale is several orders of magnitude better than whatever refried nonsense gets served at Casa Margarita. For what it's worth, I think Taco Dale also has better food than On the Border (although I dig the atmosphere and drinks better @ OTB). Food and drink are a good value and the dining area is brightly lit. Cinco de Mayo gets NUTS (avoid May 5th unless you're cool with tons of people and/or a ridiculously long wait) and weekends can get crowded at times. Clearly, we're not the only ones who love Taco Dale! read more

What a disappointment! That last time we came to this establishment was when it was called Taco Diner and it was excellent. They had the best El pastor tacos I have ever eaten and I was hoping it would still be the same. Well it wasn't sadly. Their chorizo was the worst I've ever had it didn't even taste like chorizo and their steak which got rave reviews as well as their pastor just stunk. Makes me seriously wonder where people who think it's great have ever eaten Mexican food outside of this place. All the meats to me had the taste and texture like they weee boiled or cooked in water they were like mushy in texture and no taste. Kind of like canned dogfood. Cost us $47 for one enchilada dinner and 3 single tacos (asada, el pastor and chorizo) and 2 drinks which they were out of Coke Zero really the only diet soda we will drink. I think o would have enjoyed Taco Bell better seriously and for less money. We will definitely not be back. Too many other places in the area that are far better than this place. Sad because they used to have the best ever pastor. read more

Amazing food in an unassuming strip mall. When you walk inside it is a lot bigger than you would imagine. I got the Birria Taco dinner that included refried beans and rice. The tacos dipped in the consommé satisfied that birria fix. The rice on its own was really flavorful. I have been to a lot of Mexican restaraunts where orange colored rice just tastes like regular rice. This had a limey zesty flavor. My wife ordered a virgin pina colado which looked beautiful with its garnishments. Looked like the fancy pina colada I had ever seen. We got the original nachos. The guacamole was nice and chunky. My only suggestion would be to ask for less sour cream, unless you like sour cream. read more

Taco Dale - Birria Taco Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

I loved my food and it was really good but the horchatas need to be served to order. My horchata was one of the worst i've ever drank. They all just sit there in the fridge while the big container has the liquid moving at all times. Seriously this needs to be fixed why would you use a shortcut when the rest of your food is basically perfection. Do better! read more

I have been eating here for the past 4 or 5 years, and I must say tonight I was very disappointed in the taste of the beef tacos. They were very dry and the cilantro was hard to find. This is the second time in the last month that I have had not so good tacos. By the time I got home, the bottom of the bag was dripping, grease. This has always been my go to taco restaurant, and I hope that things will improve soon..... read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants for tacos. The food is always fresh. The restaurant is very clean and tidy.

My go to Mexican food in the bolingbrook/ naperville area. Delicious tacos and nice service.

Wow, I drove an hour away for this delicia birria taco and I was not disappointing. plus the customer service 10 out of 10 will be back next time not just my daughter with the whole family read more

Clean, friendly, great food. Tried the Chilaquiles and they were wonderful.! Tacos were good , as well. read more

Got steak tacos for my husband and I one day for lunch. I had ordered flour and they gave us both corn, but no big deal. They were good so I decided to go back for dinner recently. My husband ordered a burrito and a chicken quesadilla. I ordered a chicken burrito bowl. The chicken used for the quesadilla and burrito bowl had pretty much no flavor. It seemed like boiled chicken, not grilled, and was just lacking seasoning. I was expecting something like Chipotle for the burrito bowl and you can see from the picture, that it looks nothing like that. The quesadilla was soggy, the guacamole not good. I don't think we'll be back again. read more

This place is so good that I've been to it 3 times this past month at two different locations! I cant believe it took me this long to try this place. The food is incredible, the prices are relatively inexpensive, the restaurants are always pretty clean, service is outstanding and there is always parking! Now lets get to the stars of the show, the Char-broiled Steak/Asada, the El Pastor and the Chorizo. The Char-broiled Steak/Asada is soooooo good, I could eat this with anthing! I would recommend to try this or the Pastor in a burrito, taco, or torta. I will be back to try the Birrias and the Shrimp. The menu is pretty expansive, everything that I have tried is good. Even the Complimentary Chips basket. Service is very good in the Lisle location and pretty busy all of the time. I would recommend ordering online for pickups if possible unless you are dining there. The only drawbacks for me so far is the Hot Salsa and the Nachos are average at best. The Medium Salsa is good, the Hot needs some more flavor. There are a lot of very good Mexican restaurants in this area, make sure to try Taco Dale first! read more

Had the shrimp tacos and would never go back for them again. Very disappointed in the food but the service was really good. The space itself was great and huge. I only eat seafood so I Dont know if I would try it again but if you eat meat it might be great. read more

Food is good no question. The service is terrible!! My first margarita took awhile to arrive. I had to cancel a second margarita because we were pretty much done eating and it never came. They offer no apologies. The people next to us had to get up and ask for chips and salsa and again they had to ask for their dinner. It's one thing to be short staffed but to offer no customer service is another. I felt like they were doing me a favor starting from my order at the register. I don't think I'll return if I'm in the area again. I will add the person bringing out the food was very pleasant. read more

Every time I get take out it's wrong. Asked for no sour cream, took a nice sized bite and almost threw up on the floor because they can't follow simple instructions. Money in the garbage. Went to a competitor and got better service and better food. Long time customer no more and will not recommend to others for takeout. read more

Good food, quality food and service with the visit and enjoy the look within. Clean and comfortable.

Go to place for tacos!! Absolutely love it. I have Celiacs also, I have not had any issues with the food.

I used to come here when it was taco diner. The food was great. Not sure what happened.

Top quality in the fast casual space (don't you hate that expression). I think I had a 2 taco platter. Served quickly, food arrived hot and tasty. You should go. read more

The food is good here, however every time I go here they get my order wrong. I've visited this location 7 different times all to go orders, every single time I go to open my food it's either missing ingredients. the beans or the rice. Today was no different as I order the mix taco dinner and ask them to add cheese, well once again they gave me cheese only and left all other ingredients out. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!! read more

Came in here for lunch and I was really happy with the taco/enchiladas combo. Plenty of seating and they have an ice cream shop attached. I didn't have time to get the ice cream but the look is fun and inviting. I definitely wanted it. And this summer will likely have the drive for it read more

Taco Dale never fails to deliver! Tacos are amazing and they tolerate all the edits my family wants. I love the steak burritos, but will never pass on a torta! Shop small business this year end. Tom K read more

We love Taco Dale! Highly recommend the carne asada burrito, al pastor quesadilla, and traditional Mexican nachos with steak. The service is always welcoming and friendly. We've catered from this location too and had a great experience. Check it out! read more

I've been wanting to go here since they are a big supporter of the Fountaindale library. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the lady at the counter was very nice, and the ambiance was clean, casual, and friendly. I will definitely go again.

Amazing authentic Mexican food! And the catering is outstanding! Plenty of food, and always delicious

Now that Taco Dale took over Taco Diner, when can we expect Menudo on the menu, i find myself along with many others going to another restaurant on Saturday and Sunday so we could enjoy Menudo, while everyone else with me is eating what they like, I think Taco Dale has great food and i would love to go there on the Weekends along with all of my family if they served Menudo, im curious to know why the owners continue to omit Menudo from their menu, i hope you will rethink your options and add a favorite of many to your already awesome menu read more

Taco Dale - The salsas are very tasty and if you like heat they have jalapenos - Mexican Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

This is a very cozy place. Looks more like a cafe than a Taco place. The lobby is clean with the contemporary decoration. I was on the way to see my Dr. and found this place from yelp app. This place is not easy to find in this shopping mall. In the end, I found the Payless store first then see this Taco Diner. You will need to order the food at the counter first which is in the back. I know my favorite taco is fish taco. So I quickly decided on the two fish tacos, one steak taco, and rice water (wanted Jamaica but they don't have). The complimentary chips and salsa were great. The tacos came pretty quickly. I loved the fish tacos. The fillet was grilled to a nice brown color without breading and seasoned just right. My favorite type of fish taco. The steak one was pretty good but a bit greasy for me. I actually mentioned this place to the nurse during my appointment. She actually knew this place and said the fish taco was the best. I am just glad to find another awesome place for fish tacos. read more

Since they came to Naperville (off Boughton/Weber) have been enjoying their food for all that time..their posole is AMAZING!

This place used to be great and never got anything wrong, that is no longer the case. The last few times we've ordered, they either forgot to send something or got the order wrong. Tonight I ordered a Carnitas Burrito. I said NO lettuce, because warm, soggy lettuce is not fun, they added lettuce. I ask for sour cream on the side because I am not fond of sour cream on my Mexican food, I got sour cream in the burrito. I asked for avocado slices to be added as well as onions, that I paid extra for, and didn't get either one. My wife got a taco and said to add onion and NO cilantro, she did not get onion, but did get cilantro. She also got the clad de rey, and they put lettuce in it. Lettuce does not go in that! I'm tired of not getting what I order, and on top of it all, they ask for a tip. For what? To get my order wrong? Is anyone paying attention over there? This is the last time I order from this place! If you don't want to pay attention to what I order and pay for, then I won't give you my business anymore! read more

The food here never disappoints! I LOVE their steak taco salad!!! Their rice is the best i've ever had! The staff is always so kind and gives excellent service! The restaurant itself is very clean, beautifully decorated, and organized! I love eating here! 100% recommend!!! read more

I love this place. So consistent. Carne esada is great, taco salad is great, burrito bowl is great, ice cream is awesome.

Easy parking. Pleasant interior with comfortable booths. Free chips and salsa- excellent salsa ! Husband says best guacamole ever!! Generous portions- chile rellanos quesadillas all great! Tacos with good amt of filling! Save room for ice cream! There is a full ice cream selection with over 20 flavors! Also full bar !! Love this place read more

I really like good authentic Mexican and Taco diner definitely brings it. Have you ever had really bad Mexican? Well, I have and it's nothing worse than finding yourself chewing a nasty gristle in every bite of your chicken burrito. You won't find that at Taco Diner. Instead, you'll stumble upon all white meat chicken and authentic Mexican flavors. I've had their tacos, burritos and flautas, all delish! The guac is extremely fresh and super chunky, with hints of lime and cilantro it's one of my favorites. Even the rice and beans are flavorful, which are a total plus in my book. read more
