I came on a Sunday night with a pre-order for the Aztec shrimp and chorizo burrito. It was honestly the best burrito I ever had. At first I was concerned I would feel like $15 for a burrito wasn't worth it but let me tell you it was worth it! They wrapped it perfectly everything in the burrito was perfectly spread out you could tell they actually cared and thought about how to make this burrito the best burrito this guy ever had and they did it! I think I might go back at halftime! read more

Love to see Taco Madre in Saint Charles! I was just a bit disappointed with the quesabirria tacos yesterday. They were soggy, small, and not as flavorful as anyone would appreciate. I'll definitely be back to try out other items because I do love the Naperville location. read more

I wished I lived closer because this place has a drive thru. Although I chose to dine in, (seat yourself) the idea of this caliber of tacos can be obtained in a drive thru excites me. I love the variety of tacos, I usually leave places with a to go bag, but I did not here. Order at counter and they bring food to the table. It is a small restaurant at the corner of the plaza. Several people picked up orders during my visit as well. read more

Taco Madre is putting out delicious, high quality food consistently. I love stopping in for a quick lunch when I am working in the area. My recent go to is the shrimp burrito bowl. There are plenty of big, grilled shrimp and the other ingredients are fresh and plentiful, as well. They also bring out complementary warm chips and their delicious, warm, house made salsa. I will be back soon! read more

Best place in town if you want an over priced small Burrito (IMO). But they are open later than others in the area, so they have that going for them. For me, I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

To me the experience was only ok. I had a chicken tinga taco and ground beef. I didn't feel like it had much seasoning/flavor. The ground beef was a little greasy. For 4 tacos and a burrito it was about $30. For the price I felt that it could have been better. Chips and salsa were given to us for dining in. Salsa was super watery. I ended up pouring some on my tacos to pump up the flavor. Staff was friendly. They also have a drive thru. read more

Wow! Great and Affordable Mexican food does exist beside Taco Bell or El Paraiso. Taco Madre has cemented itself in my mind aa the budget Bien Trucha, and I absolutely love them for it! I had the 3 tacos plate with Steak, Al Pastor and Fish, all were delicious and unique! The tartness of the Carne Asada, the fried citrus bite of the succulent fish, and the tangy sweetness of the al pastor with the right bit of pineapple. Awesome! The rice and beans were also perfectly seasoned and portioned as well, and their house made tortilla chips and salsa were well seasoned and the chips weren't greasy or over/under cooked. Not to mention that my meal was under $15 and included a drink. What's not to like?! Bonus tip: the Chimi Churros are out of this world if you're craving something sweet after your meal. Highly recommend! Will definitely come back soon! read more

Don't know what is going on here. Maybe they are in the middle of a renovation. Seems to be closed, but there was a handwritten sign saying you could go through the drive-through. Unfortunately, I couldn't go in. Lots of good recommendations so hopefully they will be opening up again soonfor dine in. read more

Another great item added to their menu. They have several birrdia menu items. Tonight I had their Birria Ramon soup and it was amazing!!!! Got to try it! read more

Taco Madre is quickly growing into a chain-like restaurant! They are popping up everywhere! I first had Taco Madre about 2 months ago and my family and I had a great experience! We decided to "dine-in" and the orders were served to us on a tray. The food was extremely fresh and delicious! My sister and I went last weekend and decided to take our meals to go. That was a huge mistake. When we got home we realized we were over charged for the amount of food we received, the quesadilla I bought was covered in grease, and they forgot to add our guac. It was a complete 360 from our previous experience. I am leery of coming here again. Maybe I'll try another location? read more

Taco Madre - This was the first quesadilla I had when I dined in! It was great! The second one was too greasy to take a pic of :/ - Fast Food Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

Great service and very delicious. Very clean and comfortable dining experience. Love the chicken tacos. The meat was very tasty and plentiful. read more

Super small portions for the price and almost $4 for a fountain drink to-go with no ice available.

Vegan paradise, my friend called it! He was so happy with his fried avocado tacos that he went back for a third. I loved sitting outside on the patio enjoying my burrito bowl. Service was good with free chips and salsa while we waited for our dinner. We're planning to visit another Taco Madre location soon! read more

It's been hit or miss in my experience. I've had some really good food there and then the next time not good. The time after that, delicious. So confused as to why there isn't consistency. Staff generally seems very pleasant. I just wish I could go there and know I'd get delicious food. read more

The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. I love to stop in after work to get the chicken tinga tacos.

4.5 stars if your looking for a spot to fill your taco itch Taco Madre is the spot! Each Taco Madre has their own flare. From delicious tacos, specials, and good service. Small but inviting place. Love that they have outdoor seating too. It was a super rainy day but tacos made it better. We had the two taco dinner (al Pastor tacos with rice and beans) and the three taco dinner (which I had the 3 speciality tacos: chicken tinga, Mayan taco sub beef for pork,and Aztec with rice and beans. My favorite was the Mayan and Aztec. They have an self serve salsa bar which was cool and we were able to try the pineapple soft drink and horchata before hand. read more

Let me tell you, I love taco madre taco, but man the prices are high. I have explored pretty much all the taco. Each are great, have yet to try a taco that I didn't like. With that being said, you can get food taco for half the price from any local taqueria. Cheers. read more

I've been here a few times while on my lunch break, and the times I've been here it has been packed! I've dined in both times and it has been a challenge to secure a table. First time there I was craving huevos con chorizo, I saw it on their breakfast menu. It was 1 pm and I was glad to hear that they could still serve me breakfast. It's nice that if you dine in they bring you chips and salsa, the salsa is a warm, not too spicy salsa. My breakfast plate came with beans, rice, and tortillas. The eggs were cooked perfectly and everything tasted great! I love that they have a salsa bar so I was able to try a few different salsas out. Second time there I had three tacos. These were not your average tacos. I ordered the Aztec taco, it came with Marinated Grilled Shrimp, Queso Blanco, Chorizo & Cilantro. I thought shrimp and chorizo were a weird combo but it was DELICIOUS! I also tried the chicken tinga, Shredded Chicken Marinated in Tomatoes, Chipotle, Chilis, in Adobo and Sliced Onions Topped Off With Pico De Gallo, Slice of Avocado & Sour Cream. That was also good, so full of flavor, and it enough chicken, no skimpy taco here. I also tried the Barbacoa taco with onions and cilantro. That was my least favorite one. I absolutely loved both of my visits here. I will continue to visit them on my lunch breaks. read more

Delicious tacos! The shrimp! The steak! Yum! Be sure to enjoy the salsas too. Guacamole is made fresh and is nice and chunky!

Went in this restaurant and the cashier was on the phone, then once off the phone he began taking a drive thru order. Once done taking the drive thru order he still hadn't acknowledged me AT ALL. He actually rolled his eyes in a weird way briefly and continued working. So I left. He also did not have on a mask. The place did not smell of the lovely Mexican food aroma real taquerias have when you enter. Lack of food aroma aside, I would Never spend my money, or encourage others to spend their money in a restaurant where I ( a Black Woman) is not greeted and is made to feel unwelcome. read more

We go there every time we crave tacos, the tacos are a bit overpriced (4 dollars a piece) but they are definitely nice. We like the elote, chips and salsa here the best. read more

Having been here many times before, I thought it a little odd that we were the only people here on a Tuesday at dinner time. First thing we noticed is it is not as clean as it has been in the past. Second, the menu changed and it is a lot more restrictive. I used to get the mini burrito with the enchilada sauce and my wife would get the taco platter. Those choices were gone. My wife ordered a fish taco with a side of rice and a side of beans. I got two tacos. With drinks, it was about $20 which I would not have minded had the food been whaat we were used to. But it wasn't. The portions were small, and lacked the rich flavors of past visits. I know they've recently expanded and maybe that contributes to the issues. That said, I'm not sure I will be back. read more

I had a grilled chicken burrito... Uneventful but my son liked his tacos.... I took the food to go because every chair was disgustingly dirty... I wouldn't sit there read more

They changed the food for some reason. The burritos used to be better and bigger. All of there sauces seem watered down now too. What happened? What happened to the red chipotle sauce? Used to be great food here. Not so much anymore. read more

Some of the best tacos I've had ! 11/10 definitely recommend. Pastor and shrimp tacos are my favorite.

Sorry. Loved the original menu and everything we tried. The new "modern menu" is nothing like the original. Not only have many menu items disappeared , but the quality is much lower now. The steak burrito bowl which was one of my favs is better at taco hell at this point. Ickkk... What used to be a lot of meat and vegetables is now 80% rice. No thanks i can do better at home for the money. So sad, was one of our favorite chains. I was wondering why nobody was in the restaurant when i showed up today. Matt read more

Normally not from this area, but happy I found this place on Yelp! It was smaller than I expected inside but they do have outdoor seating. Unfortunately it was a rainy day so didn't get to take advantage of that. We had a large party and the owner was very accommodating! My husband enjoyed the steak taco plate and I had the chilango & mahi mahi taco. Both equally delicious and so full of flavor! You could order the tacos Mexican style (grilled onion & cilantro) or American style (shredded cheese, lettuce & tomato). When you dine in, you also get fresh chip & warm salsa (a little spicy) on the house! The owner was so nice to offer us desserts on the house to try: flan & a raspberry creme filled churro type fried goodness that was phenomenal! The owner took the time to thank us and check on us to see what we thought of everything, as he has several locations of this restaurant so was happy to receive any kind of feedback! The only regret I have was that I was too full to try the other items on the menu. Great food and SUPER customer service!! read more

Disappointed, Saturday night heading home from a long day wife wants tacos I want pizza. Stop at taco madre can't deny tacos are good but service or attention to detail is a fail. Ordered 2 shrimp tacos a fish taco 2 steak tacos American style. And a guac and chips. The bad. Received 1 shrimp taco and 1 fish taco. Received 2 steak tacos but they were Mexican style. Do not like onions on tacos wanted lettuce cheese and tomato why I ordered American style. And they forgot the chips for guac. Thought had a bag of chips at home turned out I didn't. So that failed. This place is not cheap good is good but when you don't get what you ordered actually less food that I ordered and paid is very disappointing to say the least. Smh!!! read more

Love seeing a place making sure social distancing is in place and masks are being worn at all times. They have the best tacos and the carnitas meat employees make sure to wipe down cards and pens after use! Brittany is the best tell her i sent you! read more

Taco Madre is a classic example of "Taco Impressionism"...attractively controlled flavor enhanced portions served Taco Bell style at the drive-thru window. And yet, comparable in quality to the snob ass Taco joints up the road in Tinsiltown Geneva; probably a step above because you get decent customer service minus the attitude. That drive-thru window is amazing! And that's OK. I'm more than happy to "drive thru" for specialty items like Mahi Mahi and Shrimp tacos "dressed to impress". These are good! Then again, I doubt Taco Bell has anything to worry about. read more

Instant favorite! Just a couple miles from our home, this restaurant has been on the radar for awhile. We have several local Mexican spots..this one is among the best. The menu here is pretty standard for a fast food~quasi restaurant. One thing that jumped out as unique were the mahi mahi tacos, so I went with those. Three of them to be precise...they're on the smaller side. They were delicious. To be fair, I added extra guac to step up the flavor. Meals come with a small bowl of free refillable chips. Guac is extra. Since it was beautiful out we chose to sit outdoors. They also have several indoor tables. Another thing I liked were their specials. I'm glad I went with the mahi mahi taco's...but I noticed a couple dishes on the specials board that also sounded really good. We'll be back for sure! Cheers read more

I was the only person in the drive through but waited 14 minutes for my order. What got me was the girl attending the register. No manners. I placed my order. I said thank you and she said "yep". Then she handed me my charge card back and I said thank you and she said "yep". After the long wait (with no interaction like "sorry it's taking so long or it will be a few more minutes"), she handed me my food and I said thank you so much and she said "yep". I mean, what is wrong with her? She can't even say the words Hello, thank you or you're welcome? May I suggest you train your help to be polite to your customers? Something more than "yep". I was very offended and what is with the wait? That said, the food was good. A bit overpriced. 10 tacos for $35 is a bit steep. read more

After reading so many positive reviews on Taco Madre's Montgomery location, I was excited to see that the North Aurora location opened its doors. I finally had the opportunity to visit on a Sunday at around 6 pm. My very first impression was not good, as I discovered that they were out of margaritas. At a Mexican restaurant? Say it ain't so! Anyway, the lady was very friendly and apologetic, and ended up comping us an order of guac, so all was forgiven. Our order included chilango, ground beef and carnitas tacos, and all were excellent. The guac was good, but a little too much lime for my taste. The chips were also good, with a nice salty corn flavor. The salsa had a deep, earthy, tomato and roasted pepper richness and wasn't too spicy. The chicken quesadilla was also good, and loaded with cheese. The "hot" (red) hot sauce was also very good, with deep pepper flavor, some kick, but not overly hot. My kids wanted to try the fried ice cream for dessert and it did not disappoint. The vanilla ice cream ball was the size of a softball, coated in crunchy sweetness and sitting on top of fried dough, drizzled with chocolate and caramel, and topped with whipped cream and a cherry...fabulous stuff. Welcome to the neighborhood, Taco Madre! If I get my margarita next time, you just might earn a fifth star. read more

Love this place! There were so many good choices on the menu, it was hard to decide. I had the burrito bowl with chicken and it was delicious. My husband had the beef fajitas and he loved it. The food was fresh and delicious. The fried ice cream was amazing (thank you Michelle!...our favorite manger) and was large enough for four of us to share. The restaurant is very clean and organized. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. We will be back for sure! read more

3 words... Chicken Tinga Torta! Just kidding. We like sooo many things here. The menu has many unique items that we have tried but here are a few of our favorites: Taquitos - sorry José Olé! Fresh is the best! Any of the La Madre's tacos - Chicken Tinga or Mayan are personal favs Salad or Bowl - both are delicious for a lighter option I even get the kids burrito sometimes with a small horchata for a nice treat. The drive-thru is on point right now too! Can't wait til next time. Gonna try me some Dulce De Leche Churros! read more

2 Stars for me, food wasn't too good, Not a lot of food for the price. Heard really good things about this place so I was really excited to try! I won't be returning. read more

Taco Madre really needs to get his act together after waiting in the drive-through for over 20 minutes to pick up an order that was ready the previous 20 minutes I called the restaurant to say can you please move the car to one of your designated drive-through spots so that I can pick up my food they weren't very helpful on the phone. Do you need to run this like McDonald's if the foods not ready put them in spot 1. As a result I'm 20 minutes late picking up dinner we only have five minutes to eat I'm not going to enjoy this and I'm really not sure I'm never coming back read more

This is a casual, fast food Mexican restaurant in a strip mall. They have outdoor seating. Inside there are 6-8 tables. You order at the counter and carry-out or grab a table. They'll bring you the food. If you dine-in, they'll give you complementary chips and salsa. The carne asada and steak fajitas were both excellent. They came with rice, beans, and choice of corn or flour tortillas. The carne asada also came with guacamole, sour cream and a grilled jalapeno pepper. The employees working the counter were nice and provided exceptional service. Taco Madre has multiple locations. This location in North Aurora has online ordering and also a drive-thru. read more
