    This was a great michelada (clamato, beer, tajin spiced rim) and for a fair price, too
    Eric S.

    ¡¡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!

    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.

    Mago is our Number One restaurant! Everything on the menu is delicious but don't miss the mole…read more Every day they make FIVE different kinds of mole, which no one else does because it takes so much time. Our favorite is mole de coco on salmon but you can put any mole on any type of meat. This visit I challenged my husband to order something new. He's vegan so he got the fajitas de vegetables and I got a chicken tinga burrito. Both were delicious and we'd order them again. This is authentic Mexican food in an elegant style. Try it!

    We got a referral from another business in the area. I'll tell you, it didn't disappoint!…read more The chips and salsa were very good to start. Then we had to order some table side guacamole which was so rich and delicious. Then we ordered our entrees. The California Steak Burrito. This burrito had a sauce on it that had a hint of lime that was so delicious and the portion size was large. The presentation looked desirable as well. The two tacos with rice and beans were a hit as well. The first bite of the Pastor taco had a bite of pineapple that made it so tasty and delicious, but that was the only bite. Not saying the remaining taco wasn't bad. The Carne Asada tacos though, this one was on point with every bite. I'm not sure what was crunchy, but I just couldn't get enough so we ordered four more to-go. Man those were so delicious! Don't skip on those! Hands down those flavors in that Carne Asada tacos made it the best tacos I've even eaten. The service was great and he was very attentive. The restaurant was decorated nicely. A little dimmer, but not too much. And the location is very nice as well.

The kitchen might not be as manned up as it should be but that's okay, just be patient for your food, I promise its worth it.

We orderer a Taco Pirata, Chicharron Botanero en Salsa Verde Gorditas and Deshebrada en Salsa Verde. The Taco Pirata is a quesadilla with Carne Asada in a flour tortilla. The cheese is delicious and the asada is juicy making for a delicious bite. The Botanero in Salsa Verde Gorditas were delicious too with the meat being cooked perfectly in the salsa and the Deshebrada was surprisingly the best thing we had. So simple but so delicious with great flavors. The food was all so comforting. We also ordered a Piña Agua Fresca that was so refreshing. Ibadan had other Agua Frescas here before and we wanted originally ordered the Pepino but the server politely informed us they were out.
