The food here always comes out extremely fresh. I go here a lot since I live close. Unfortunately there other location closed down after they had a fire but this place rocks. I've had quesadillas. Tacos. Enchiladas. Highly recommend read more

We are originally from Chicago, and this is our go to place for Mexican food since moving to the burbs. Nothing else around here competes with Taco Express. Food is always delicious and consistent. Gorditas are delicious! read more

They have the best Horchata around, but their food... meh.... Their Chorizo and egg burrito is adequate, and the Al pastor Tacos are decent, but the only thing that stuck in my mind was the Horchata. Grab a drink and go somewhere else if you want to be WOW'ed. read more

Absolutely the best Mexican restaurant around. Enchilada suiza dinner was delicious. And they give you 4 enchiladas. read more

Came here for take out one night, wasn't busy inside the restaurant. Came almost 30 mins after ordering and the girl didn't even put in our order, she said in spanish for them to make it fast. The cook was literally pressing the meat onto the flat top grill with BARE hands. Disgusting. I couldn't enjoy my food with the thought of someone's hands touching my food. read more

I just recently moved to the area and have been desperately searching for a go-to Mexican place. (I've had a few in the area and still am not a huge fan of any I've had.)Tonight, I had the chicken enchiladas suizas con salsa verde. SO GOOD. The salsa verde was spicy but not so much that you can't enjoy the flavor. Not to mention the fact that with the dinner you get 4 enchiladas! Also had the guac and it was tasty as well. Although they're not open very late, it is definitely going to be my go-to! read more

Can't believe they only have 3.5 stars! I went in today as a first timer and ordered a steak burrito with only cream and cheese (my usual steak taste testing ingredients) and it was really really good. I will be back for sure. read more

My burrito had beans on it and I only want steak cheese lettuce and sour cream in it that's why it gets 1 star

This is a great mom and pop restaurant that you should absolutely try. I love the steak fajitas and think they are the best in all the suburbs. I'm pretty stuck up when it comes to my Mexican food and I was a little disappointed in their chicken burrito the first time I came but I gave them a second chance and they've become my favorite Mexican spot! What made me come back was the attentiveness and friendliness of the son working the front counter. He told me that his mom makes a peanut sauce and a avocado green sauce from scratch and they have a little cart by the counter with the sauces and free spicy carrots. I've never seen this before and I swear that avocado sauce is one of the best things I've ever had. My friend orders the steak burrito and he says it's the best one he's ever had. I'm a big fan of orchata and they do a great job with that as well. When I lived in Downers Grove I would come here about once a week. This is the only restaurant I miss from the area. I was in Naperville today and it was close enough for me to stop in for some lunch. read more

Fantastic food! Best Mexican food that I have ever had in freshness and sauces. We ordered a big order for our staff and everyone loved it! The rice is fresh, the steak is tender and the chicken is delicious with the sauce that they make. read more

Their burritos are huge! Come on an empty stomach if you want to finish yours. The guys there are friendly. Always love coming there to get my authentic Mexican food. read more

Everyone I go here it takes a solid 5 minutes to figure out what to order because everything is perfectly authentic Mexican food. The cooks do a fantastic job day in and day out. Definitely recommend everything on here but my specific favorites from here are the pork tacos - can't go wrong though. read more

I never thought I would say this, but I think I have found somewhere that is faster than Jimmy Johns. Yes folks, its your local Taco Express! It was truly an express stop as I was in and out of the shop within 2 minutes max. I only ordered a simple taco and tostado for a small snack to hold me over till dinner but I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. The tostada was delicious and would recommend it. I am looking forward to my next stop at Taco Express to try something else on the menu. The whole decor is underwhelming but who needs it when your food is yummy and the service friendly. read more

Good place to eat. Staff is always friendly, food is always delicious. Our favorite local place to grab tacos. Nothing fancy here but it's very good food. read more

Food was great rice just the way it supposed to be .alot of homemade things but charged for chips and salsa for dine in...

I love this place! Everything is delicious. I recommend also getting the Michoacana ice cream bar things. The cinnamon/rice flavor is amazing. read more

Food took forever to prepare and was not good at all. Tacos were bland. Ordered a meat quesadilla and received four mini ONLY cheese quesadillas. Worst Mexican restaurant I have ever ordered from. read more

Absolutely love the steak burritos and the steak tacos!! I think my boyfriend and I order from there at least once a week and of late we always get the steak burrito. The meat is not greasy or fatty. When they have them, the chicken tamales are amazing as well. I have had the chicken enchiladas, taco salad, and the chicken tacos as well. I have not found anything there that I didn't like. This place is much better then the other surrounding Mexican places in my opinion. Oh and the staff, especially the young girl at the register, is so sweet!! read more

I have been eating taco express for many of years now and love eating the steak fajitas and the bistec ala Mexicana! I prefer the fair view location but either one will do! It's a must stop for good Mexican food if your in the westmont area! read more

enchiladas had no flavor. sauce tasted like pasta sauce. chips were stale. i was hoping for much more considering the reviews but was definitely disappointed. read more

Me and my family wanted to try a new place for Mexican food. When we walked in, we were excited about the variety of foods offered on the menu. We have a baby and we were going to put him in their high chair. Me and my wife noticed the high chair was filthy. So we cleaned it with some baby wipes. After this we ordered our food. I ordered the 4 quesida, my wife ordered the chille rellano dinner and my mother in law ordered a torta with ham and cheese. My quesidas were steak meat and the meat was very dry. My wife's chills rellano was soaked in grease. She could only eat the chille and cheese. My mother in laws torta was microwaved and tasted very old. We were all very disappointed and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

We used to frequent El Famous, but found the food to be a little greasy. Figured we'd try this place as it was so close to home. What a pleasant surprise. My husband loves the steak tacos. I used to get tortas, which are great, but I'm now addicted to the chicken tacos! There's a delicious sauce on them and the meat isn't hidden under a ton of lettuce. I get the corn tortillas because they are the best I've had. I tried the fajitas, which were very good, authentic. But the chicken taco can't be beat! The guacamole is good, the salsas are good, especially the verde and the tomatillo! Even the jalapeno/carrot mix is great and actually has a nice kick! Good prices, quick service, friendly staff! read more

I don't have much to say. They have lower than average Mexican food. I would advise going somewhere else.

We are lucky to have many solid choices for good Mexican food in the area and this ranks right up there. Generous portions of tasty basics are what keep me coming back. Fast and fresh, they have a large selection. I always get take out, but there are several tables for those who wish to eat in. I recommend the flautas, tacos and tostadas. read more

This is my favorite Mexican food place in the western suburbs, The staff is always welcoming and the food is second-to-none. Chile Rellenos tacos are delicious and filling; I'm a big guy and can barely finish two of them. Tortas are very good and the Menudo (weekends only).... my-oh-my the Menudo... it's sooooo good. Family owned and operated with pride. read more

I absolutely love this place! I am from the City and work out here in the burbs and when I ran into this small friendly place, I was in heaven. Talk about finding a needle in the haystack! The prices are very reasonable and the food is absolutely delish! read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant around! My favorite thing to get is the quesadillas. They are really nice and friendly there and the place is clean. It's fresh ingredients every time and the hot sauce is out where you can take as much as you want (unlike taco express 1 by the tracks). Overall it's a good place to eat without spending a ton and it's way better than taco express 1. read more

My first time eating at this place. I ordered a taco dinner with 3 steak tacos to go. So to be fair my review is only on the items in my order. Tacos - Average. Nothing special, they were not bad, but not memorable in any way. I've been on a taco binge, lately and my biggest issue with these tacos, was at the lack of meat in the taco. There was literally about a tablespoon of meat in each of the three tacos. The meat was of average quality, with very little fat. Beans - Average, not bad, not good. The 3 tortilla chips they put on the beans were very stale. Mexican rice - Very good. It has a great flavor and you could taste the chicken broth it was cooked in. It was a little underdone, but the flavor was among the best I've had from a restaurant. Price - I paid about $9.56 with tax for the 3 taco dinner, which is comparable to most places, but the lack of meat in my tacos made this more expensive. Personally, I think Taco Diner has better tacos and beans, but the rice here was better. read more

OMG! This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant around! Great tacos/burritos/quesadillas. Although my personal favorite, and I highly recommend, is the taco salad w/pork! I don't even like to eat pork, but this sweet & spicy authentic Mexican carnitas is to die for. Served in a warm Taco bowl is the cherry on top! I also recommend the avocado salsa! Bright green shit! Great alternative to salad dressing, and great on tacos! Gotta try it, so good I could drink it! read more

wonderful customer service great food no other taco place can compare to this place just all around a wonderful experience this place is a little hidden but once found you will enjoy every bite you can taste the marinate thats being used on the steak and chicken everything is here will be enjoyed and the food is enough to make you full on top of that the food and customer service together keeps you coming back for more read more

The quality of th food here we get here is way below standards.Please stay away from here this does not deserve a single try as the food which I got had nothing much in it and salesperson there is too rude when asked about it.Please don't waste your money here read more

We used to eat here regularly but the quality has been slowly going down. The flavors used to be like you were in Pilsen but now it's become much too suburban. The pork is now more sauce than meat and it's lost it's punch. The steak burrito is become very basic. On the plus side, the steak quesadillas are still pretty good and the kids like them. Hope they go back to the old recipes and attention to detail. read more

This is great quality, authentic Mexican cuisine at its best! I have been coming Here for years and have found that the service and food are much better than the Westmont location. Everything is homemade and made to order. For a great price you can get delicious food! Definitely recommend it read more

Great food and excellent people. The tacos are always amazing. The Mexican corn is very good as well. They are always friendly. The establishment is very clean and well maintained. I am never disappointed when I get food here. read more

The name isn't the most original, the environment is modest, but the tacos are ridiculous! They are the best in the area, and their sauces make them even better. It's owned by a family who loves what they do, takes pride in their product, and makes you feel welcome every time, whether you're eating in or taking out. And as always, grab a Jarritos, it makes a great taco experience even better. read more

Rip off ! Menu board shows " burrito suizo dinner - $9.99" - yet they add $2.00 for the 'suizo' -- not 'extra suizo', just suizo so item costs $11.99 Why would the menu board say suizo if it wasn't included in the $9.99 ?? We have been victimized on a few occasions and I finally contacted the owner - Luis - who told me that the $2 charge should NOT apply and assured me of a $4 credit on my next visit. I visited them last Saturday and sure enough, no credit was going to be issued and the extra $2 was going to be applied. Needless to say, I left without ordering and went across the street to Beggars. My last visit and my last attempt to work with them ... I am gone for good which is a shame as I live right down the street. read more

I had no idea there are two locations. I like this one better. The service is always friendly and the food is always good. Give them a try.

The food is very generic and tasteless. Most of the time, they just throw some meat cooked over an hour ago onto a tortilla, and heat it up on the griddle for a minute. If you want something much better, go a mile down the road to Los Burritos Tapatios. Los is far from great, but it is the best in the Downers, Darien, Westmont area.The service here is decent. The kitchen doesn't look very clean for a place that just opened a couple months ago. The one upside to this place is that they have a sauce bar next to the counter so you can grab all the sauce you want to-go, although I found the flavor of the sauce to be very lackluster. read more

Great food, the soup is some of the best I've had (especially the Menudo). The owners are great and super friendly/innovative. The steak used for tortas, tacos, burritos is very good and the sauces and salsas are really unique and delicious. read more

Have been eating here for over 4 years, and the food is consistently GREAT! Love the chicken fajitas especially. There are few places you can go and have unlimited carrots & jalapeños! The staff is always friendly! read more
