I've been meaning to review Taco Dále since 2018 but I always forget to take pictures to add to my review. My family and I probably have Taco Dále at least 3-4 times a month. We either make the hour round trip to pick up, or we'll look the other way and pay the up charge to have it delivered via Uber Eats-- it's that good. We have had everything from their tacos, flautas, tamales, caldo, burritos, quesabirria, chile relleno, potato tacos, you name it--we've had it and it's all been incredible. The chips and salsa are a must, we always joke about wanting to drink it lol and their salsa verde and red sauce as just as great. Their horchata is some of the best around in my opinion as well! We stop in for lunch so often that Maria (who is awesome) knows our lunch orders by heart. We are so excited to have an Oswego location opening up soon, but when we're in the Naperville area we will still continue to stop in and eat here because we love the staff so much. Taco Dále has turned our family into Mexican food 'snobs'. Nothing compares to this place, it's the most authentic and best tasting place we've tried, and we've tried many which is why we don't mind the drive or paying extra for delivery. We even catered for Christmas last year lol. Don't let the strip mall deter you, Taco Dále is worth the stop! read more

Came for the quesabirria tacos and have been craving the guacamole ever since. I brought my parents here because describing quesabirria just wasn't enough, they had to try it. The tacos were delicious, generous portions, but then my dad say they have Caldo on the menu so he had to try that too. I decided I wanted guacamole after we ate the entire basket of chips within 3 minutes of getting there. Sorry no photo of the guacamole even though the presentation was beautiful, because everyone dug right in. The perfect amount of chunky avocado to salsa ratio. Needless to say we all left stuffed and happy. read more

Taco Dále - Quesabirria - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

We go here at least a couple of times a week for the friendly service and great tacos/quesadillas. Maria always has a quick smile and some friendly words for us every time we come in. My husband LOVES her Lime Margaritas and they are very economically priced for what you get. I love the steak quesadilla because you get plenty tasty steak and guacamole, sour cream and salsa. My husband is a steak taco guy, but I got him to try the steak fajita tacos and he's hooked. Elias (I hope I got his name correct) is always friendly and moving at the speed of light. Just love this place! read more

Received the most disgusting service ever over a 1.00 lime. Spent over 45.00 on food to receive 3 slices of lime. I asked for more and the young lady with the terrible attitude said I had to pay. Her attitude was terrible. read more

Do not get the veggie tacos. It's the same price as a meat taco except you get almost nothing. There are some onions, peppers, zucchini and maybe a tomato. Ridiculous pricing! read more

Taco Dále - Veggie taco - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Love the quessabirria tacos with dip! Super fresh, super flavorable. Nice new updated restaurant great for a group since you can each order and pay individually and then sit to eat kind of like Paneras. Plenty of tables and booths for all size crowds. A little confusing finding it from the street, best way seems to be to go from rt 59 but worth it. Quick service and you can tell the people who work there take pride in their work and in their delicious food. Next time i want to try their enchiladas! read more

I like Taco Bell. I'm a vegetarian. Food is always good. Love the Hibiscus tea. I live in De Kalb County, IL. To far to visit location on a regular base. Will visit on occasion when I'm in the area. read more

We have a great first meal at Taco Dale a few weeks ago. Ordered the Taco dinner of Al pastor, carne asada with an horchata drink. This past week we went again and were disappointed by the rice and beans. They were bland and needed some seasoning and salt. I will try them again because the tacos were some of the best we've had near 59. Otherwise we head to Aurora for more authentic food and great taste! read more

When someone mentions tacos, I immediately think of Taco Dále. I'm a die-hard fan of their three-taco special, especially the steak tacos . And don't forget the rice (minus the beans )! The portions are so generous I can never finish it all, but hey, no complaints there. Definitely the best I've had yet. Catch you on the next taco run! #Yelp read more

Very well kept restaurant! The manager was so nice and made us the most amazing strawberry margaritas. I had the steak taco plate and everything tasted so fresh. Not sure where they get their steak from but it was sooooo good. They also have a cute patio with string lights. Thankfully it's near my house so I will be back frequently. read more

I'm from Indiana and every time I'm at Aurora Illinois this is one of my favorites restaurants they have amazing food especially their quesadillas Carne Asada. It's so juicy and their meat is thick. I really recommend it read more

Kind of disappointed. The taco Dále in Lisle is way better. There's definitely a difference in the quality and freshness of the food. Rice tasted a bit old. Even the chips were stale. The salsa wasn't the same as the Lisle location. The Paloma was not a true Paloma. The taco was the only thing that was decent. I don't know if they have different owners but something is not the same. read more

We ordered from here using Door Dash and wasn't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised how delicious everything was! The vegetarian burrito dinner was HUGE and very tasty! There was a lot of sour cream in it so you SC lovers will be in heaven lol - next time I'd have it on the side. The chile relleno was super tasty and the portion was huge. My boyfriend ordered steak tacos which he said the meat was delicious but he'd like to go back in person to enjoy next time. Me too but to try their margs! read more

I work for target and we have gotten multiple big orders of tacos in the past from the Aurora location. Today 9/18/25 when I called to place and order of 200 tacos for this upcoming Monday 9/22/25 I was turned away because I was not a regular customer and couldn't order them, so thanks to your manager on duty we had to take our business elsewhere. We love the food from here but we can't be giving our business to them if they are not interested in our busines! read more

Went back today to redeem by $30 voucher and first thing cashier says is "you again" ! Not a very happy welcome but was very pleasant over the phone. Total came out to 35.99, she asked if i was paying cash for some reason and proceeded to ask for 5.99. I asked her to put the voucher in because the company is responsible for the taxes not the customer! She hit button which infact reduced the total to 2.99 and she gave me 14 dollars back on the 20 I gave her. Questioned it and she said nooooo we don't do the taxes. In no mood to argue at that point I said you can keep it but very dishonest way to do business and will follow up with a review today and a phone call tomorrow with manager. In a positive note, I tried the food and the quality is spot on. New cashier needed please and I wonder how many other times this has been pulled and not noticed!! read more

I stopped there 4/2/25 for the first time. Ordered two Burrito dinners. The Ground beef was excellent 4 star. The El Pastor was a 1 star. Burnt. I will go back and try other food items. Not El Pastor anything. Service was good. Nice clean place. Lots of locals says a lot for the place. read more

Food is really good. Background music is not too loud as in other restaurants. Brought a friend from Arizona and loved the meal. Service was very good. We dropped a for on the ground and we had a replacement before the second bounce. Pricing is good and fair. Pretty large meals. read more

I got a steak burrito from here. It says the steak is charred steak but I didn't really taste that. There was not very much steak and the entire bottom half of the burrito had no meat so I only ate half of it. It wasn't nasty or good. Just felt a bit cheated for spending that money on something that wasn't great. I use to work really close by and ordered them at least once a week and it was delicious. I also wanted to add that the flour tortilla clearly wasn't cooked at all so it was a dry and kind of hard texture. Nothing soft about the burrito. Dare I say I would have been more satisfied getting a burrito from Taco Bell. read more

Really great food when it's done right. But, they're so inconsistent. A third of the time the food is prepared wrong and I always have to look at it in my car and go back in to get the right thing. Here's the amount of meat and everything else on my six dollar (including tax) tostada. Kind of sad. read more

Taco Dále - Small - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

We were out shopping and didn't want to stop and ruin the shop till you drop vibe but we were starving and a drive thru wouldn't cut it but both agreed a quick taco or quesadilla would hit the spot. We decided on Taco Dale since we'd never had it before, it was a Friday night and again wanted something quick. Our initial thought or plan was (as it usually is) was to just get it to go and eat in the car and keep shopping.... we went in and ordered a cheese quesadilla and a steak quesadilla I asked if they could cut them in half (so we could split them) to let us each try both. They come with pico, guac, and crema. We didn't get the pico - just guac and crema. The girl was easily accommodating. As we were waiting for the order we quickly realized it may be greasy and we should probably stay and just eat it there. Once we got the order we told them we were going to stay and Christian was extremely accommodating and kind - he brought us chips, salsa, hot and mild sauce and drinks since we weren't going to initially stay. He also kept checking on us to see if we needed anything as well.s Christian was also very kind and friendly to the other patrons that came in as well. The menu is abundantly full, there is something for everyone and the menu can be easily accommodating if needed. The ladies were very kind as well (I didn't get any names though I'm sorry). The restaurant itself was clean, warm and inviting. It is also ADA accessible. We will definitely be returning customers. read more

I ordered to go a burrito bowl in this place and the food was cold, a little bit of rice beans and meat probably one little spoon of each the rest was filled with lettuce and tomato. I wouldn't recommend this place for a burrito bowl. Chipotle burrito bowl is much better. read more

I have huge mixed feeling over this place. The meat was good quality, rice is pretty tasty, but the beans have a weird taste. The soda taste too syrupy and is $4.99 for a large! That's crazy. read more

Taco Dále - Outside looking in - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

I ordered for lunch and for the 2 fish tacos combo. The price is good for the quantity. The rice and beans I felt could have used more flavor. I accidentally picked flour tortilla instead of corn which is unfortunate because I think these would have been better on a corn tortilla. The fish was cooked nicely and tasted good. The green salsa was yummy, but I felt the red on tasted too tomato-y. Staff is very nice read more

Excelente lugar! Después de un largo viaje buscábamos con mi familia buena comida y este lugar no decepcionó. La comida estuvo muy rica y las personas ahí fueron muy amigables mostrando un excelente servicio. El lugar está limpio. :) read more

Good food and fun environment but it's pretty clear the woman at the register does not like white women. Each time I've ordered food she is super rude and not friendly at all. I've witnessed the change in her behavior many times with a mexican woman after me and then another white woman after her. It's like a lightswitch and it is very unfortunate. The first thing I get when I come in is an attitude and I'd rather take my business elsewhere. My money is the same as everyone else ‍ read more

Very solid Mexican food. Service is quick. They bring chips to table after you've order at the front counter. Very friendly people. Clean & comfortable atmosphere. They also have a nice patio to eat outside. The prices are a little high in my estimation, but obviously not too high as I've been several times for lunch in the last few months. This is an update to my previous review. I wanted to pass on the word that this restaurant does a very good job with following the CDC guidelines. Their employees are wearing masks, they have the plexiglass shield at the cashier. Customers are very aware of the social distancing and practice it. I felt very comfortable visiting this location. read more

Double check your carry out orders if you want something a certain style such as American style. Quality is slipping since years past. There is a smell like moldy water before you walk through the second door. They have the "opening soon" poster on the window even though they have been open for years. read more

There was absolutely nothing about taco dale that would make me return. I've had better from Primos taco trucks. I had shrimp fajita on corn shell. It was just a lot of lettuce with 3 shrimp read more

I hadn't really planned to visit Taco Dále when my husband and I found ourselves there. But we've been exploring various places since we moved to this area, and we just happened to shopping near Taco Dále when the lunchtime hunger pangs struck. To some extent, upon entrance, one might get Qdoba or Chipotle vibes from the set up, but this restaurant has much more to offer than your typical fast casual establishment. Off top, you'll notice that the menu is much more extensive. I knew pretty quickly that if we liked the food, then we'd have to return because there was so much to offer. And as luck would have it, we loved our food. I got a torta, and it was probably one of the best ones I've ever had, full of tasty, flavorful beef. It's a good thing that I don't live right around the corner from this restaurant because I probably would have gotten that sandwich at least ten times by now if I did. One extra nice bonus that we didn't expect going in is that you also get free chips and salsa. That is extremely handy perk on top of what was already a delicious meal. read more

Taco Dále - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

People that take your orders are rude and act like they're doing you a favor by allowing you to order there. They need to take into consideration why they have jobs. Your jobs are provided by the patrons ordering there. Food is good, but the food is also good AND so is the service at the Taco Dále in Lisle. Talked to a person at the Lisle location about it and the person said they have heard that several times and they have experienced the rudeness themselves. read more

Came here for lunch and it was fine. Nicely made and clean. Good concept. Give them a shot of you drive by. How do you pronounce Dale? Like the babe Dale or dalay, or something else. read more

Had the carne asada taco dinner, meat seasoned to perfection and the beans and rice were an excellent compliment.

We ordered online to pick up, and they gave me the wrong order. I called them, and they started giving me an attitude for no reason, even though I told them many times I'm deaf, and please be patient with me, but they kept interpreting me. They had no apologies or anything. Disappointed in how they dealt with that. The beans tasted like they came from a can. I ordered chicken tortas, but they gave me steak tortas instead. The whole meal was absolutely disgusting. I didn't even eat it, just threw it away after having 1 bite. Also, when I went to drinks foundation to fill the drink and I saw a lot of tiny flies. I'll never go back. No call back or refund. read more

Starting with the ladies in front. They have wonderful service. The food is delicious. I've had the birria and steak tacos. You get a lot for your $ and it's delicious. I'm gonna try there breakfast tacos next read more

Taco Dále - Steak taco with beans and avocado - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

24 cents. This is the price that this restaurant is willing to lose customers for life over. My wife and I have come to this place a few times, usually for take out. In fact, we had just gotten food here shortly before. This time, we stepped up to the counter to place our order. I noticed the employee at the front was not making eye contact with us and was staring at the floor instead. When I was able to order, I also asked for one small drink. I had to repeat the whole order at least three times and was originally rung up for two drinks, which I nearly paid for. All good, I didn't complain. At the drink area, I filled the cup with a white drink that was located near the other beverages. I had never tried it before, and later learned this was horchata. We took our seats and after about 10 mins, our food was brought out. Another 15 mins passed and we were enjoying our food and conversation. At this point, one of the employees returned to our table. "You ordered a fountain drink?" I confirmed that I ordered a "drink". "Fountain drinks and horchata are not the same, two separate things, in separate containers. They are different prices and we ask which one." This unexpected part of our meal got served up with a big ol' helping of attitude, too, as if this was done intentionally--it wasn't. Seriously? First of all, nobody asked which kind when I ordered a "drink". There was no followup question. The employee taking our order never even looked us in the eyes. They just handed me a cup. Second, the soda and the other drinks are all dispensed from "fountains". Lastly, nobody said anything when I filled it up and there is no sign posted in that area. What's more unsettling is that I was obviously being watched. Why, to see if I was counting cards? That is incredibly weird. This is the moment where something could have been said, not 30 mins into our meal and rudely interrupting us. I work in customer service, and that is unacceptable. If this distinction is so critical, put up a freaking sign in the back. FYI, the inside of the restaurant smells like Shaquille O'Neal crop dusted the dining room. I went in the bathroom and there was diarrhea in the toilet. Perhaps these issues should be addressed instead of making the sequel to "Get the Gringo". On my last visit, I also left a $5.00 tip at the register on a $15 order. Since the accountants here are working overtime, that's 33%. I've tipped on many other orders as well. Not to mention that each time we have dined in there, we have cleaned our plates and trays ourselves to try to help out. Most customers just leave it for the staff. Oh well, I guess that's the thanks we get. Never again. I found out the price difference is $0.24 as of this posting. I wasn't even planning on getting a refill. I hope it was worth it to have us never come back again, to tell friends and family, and for this to get posted. At least, the house is still up $4.76. read more
