We were here once right when they opened and I didnt remember much and we have been meaning to come back. We got take out, ordering was super easy on Toast (Love Toast). We ordered online from across the street at Target and were given a pick up time of 10 minutes. I figured it may not take that long so after about 5 minutes we went over and it was ready. Super easy, super fast! My wife got Al Pastor tacos with cilantro and onion and I got an Al Pastor torta meal with rice and beans. Everything was fresh and tasted great, good portion sizes and good prices. Their Salsa verde is very unique, very fresh tasting, we liked it alot. The Al Pastor was as good as you're going to get without a spit. Its cheap, good and fast....can't ask for much more read more

Grabbed takeout for my family. We all loved their chips and salsa and their guacamole was amazing! The gorditas were tasty, grab at least 2-3. They are small enough to NEED more. Overall, will go back. Try it. I think you will too. read more

Hidden little gem in Elgin super clean and not crowded at all. When you walk in menu is right on the top with all their specials, and you order and have a sit. I tried the asada burrito and order a side of chips. They have 5 different salsa and all of them were great. The burrito was ok, not much meat on it and small compare to other places I have tried. They also sell liquor and beer to accompany your meal if that is what you prefer. They have tons of Mexican soda and your regular horchata, Jamaica waters. Will be back to give the tacos a shot! read more

Food is generally good here, and I am a regular at this restaurant. But I just took a bite of my steak burrito and found a pretty big piece of bone in there (circled in red). I bit into it and it was painful. Quite disappointing. The rest of the burrito was fine and tasty. read more

Great spot for lunch. Fast service, ample seating, and good quality meat. Definitely my top choice for tacos in Elgin. Highly recommend stopping by some time. read more

Yum. Flour & corn tortillas (meets everyone's preferences). Crazy busy at lunchtime & it was well managed. Everything we ate today was delicious (it was a mishmash, we ate & I was planning for leftovers for the rest of our family later in the day). A neighbor recommended shrimp tacos, that'll be our next meal. Hope to explore the breakfast menu, it looks great - I'm hungry thinking of it read more

Cool new spot in a busy strip mall...The menu is large. There are tacos, burritos, sandwiches, tostadas, and more. You pick your item and then pick the protein. The cashier was so friendly, very welcoming and patient when explaining all that they have. They have agua frescas and horchata to go for $3.75. That is a fun option. I ordered a single tostada, keep it vegetarian. It was $3.99 plus tax. For keeping it veggie, I was disappointed that there was only one slice of avocado. It also did not have much flavor. Salt is needed for sure and salsa was a must. I asked for green salsa. I receive two and a fork and napkin in a separate bag, stapled to keep that all separate from the warm food. I'll try them again, they are so close. But, I really need more punch to my veggie options. read more

We are so glad there's a new, fast casual Mexican place in the neighborhood. We have never eaten inside, but have done take out many times. It's quick, delicious and priced well. My go to is the shrimp tacos. I love the sauce that they use for it. I also love that you can get corn tortillas for their quesadillas and the corn tortillas for the quesadillas are quite big- especially for a corn tortillas. read more

The food was tasty, however the portion was very small. The carne asada taco had barely any meat in it. I can literally count 5 pieces of meat in taco, 6 pieces of shredded lettuce, and 4 pieces of tomato. Very disappointing. It will be a desparate day before I order from them again. Mark these words, they will not last if they do this to their customers. I was ripped off! read more

Severely disappointed... was looking forward to tryin a new place & based on reviews chose this. I ordered torta special & burrito special. Both come with a drink which I waited to grab until the meals were done so drink would still be cold. The cashier says to me as I grab the first one... uhm it's only one drink with each meal... yeah?? Ok? And I've only gotten one. She then proceeds to LOOK in my bag to verify I'm telling the truth. lol THAT was tacky & pissed me off.... Anyway- Then for my burrito I said no lettuce or tomato.... Apparently they thought I said no meat too! I can count maybe 2 pieces of meat in whole burrito. Thanks for the flavorless bean burrito!!! Not pleasing to my appetite whatsoever!!! Don't think I'll be back. Tasted like dough & beans lol read more

Maybe come to the window when the car pulls up to the window and take their payment. because sometimes people wanna add an extra taco or more to their order but you guys wait last minute when the food is all done and then you guys take the payment and then give the bag right away. read more

Top notch! I came on a Taco Tuesday wanting to satisfy my Mexican food craving. I enjoyed the flavors of my pastor tacos and a steak sope. To my surprise they offer 5 salsa options, each with its own unique flavor. I appreciate the great service provided by the friendly staff, thank you. read more

It's great if you want good Mexican food quickly (they have a drive-thru!) and I've been consistently happy with their tacos. They lose a star for their beans and rice though...maybe it's just my personal taste, but those could've been better. read more

Customer service here on 1/17/26 at 12pm was completely terrible. First off, we ordered 3 meals and they messed up one out of three orders and then we asked for both red and green salsa and they proceeded to only give us 3 green salsas. I attempted to ask for some red salsa and they wanted to charge me for it. Mind you they only gave enough salsa to be begin with for 1 meal and I got three meals. Went home and found a hair in my loaded fries and I called them and they didn't apologize, they asked for a photo of the hair and proceeded to ask me to drive back to their location and bring it back in for proof that there was hair in the food before issuing me a refund. Upon arrival, no communication and no apology for the inconvenience or anything. Everyone working there just stared at me and grabbed the food from me and grabbed the hair from the food and examined it for a few minutes and then just gave me a receipt stating a refund for that one meal would be issued. This location sucks so bad. The one in rolling meadows is much better, they don't mess up the order and they are kind and pay attention to detail. I advise everyone to not get food from this location. Take the extra drive to get better service. read more

The restaurant is new and clean, a nice casual environment with a good amount of seating. Staff was friendly and highly focused on quality. Finally, a restaurant that gives more than a ramekin of salsa with an order of chips! The veggie burrito was elevated with fresh ingredients, including green leaf lettuce! The guacamole and salsa are both fresh and delicious. My food order came out in just a few minutes, but while I was waiting, I was told the cucumber/lemon water is a must try! read more

I had a bad experience. The food is overpriced I spent $18 on birria tacos that had no conseme. When I went back In to ask for conseme they tell Me they ran out lol. Th lady at front desk had an attitude about it too. Why wouldn't they tell Me when I placed the order? I would've never got it. The food is overrated and I will not be back there. Learn to have good customer service. read more

I've been here 3 times already, the location is extremely convenient!! Here's what we've tried and would rank out of 5: -beef Taco: 5/5 the seasoning of their beef is the best beef taco I have ever tried -chicken taco: 3/5 the chicken tastes more Mediterranean to us it's okay but not my favorite (normally chicken is our fav) -shrimp taco: 4/5 -steak taco: 4/5 -rice: 5/5 perfect for my picky toddler Breakfast: -Menudo: 4/5 -chicken breakfast bowl: 4/5 would have been 5/5 but chicken tastes more Mediterranean so should have went with steak or beef -steak chilaquiles: 5/5 very spicy but very good The staff is friendly and the place is extremely clean, the kitchen staff is extremely clean as well and you can easily see in to it to see what they are doing which I enjoy because it makes me feel like I am eating a safer meal. read more

Ordered (6) 3 Taco Dinners. Guacamole and chips. Everything delicious. This is our 3rd time ordering. Yum.

I had a grande breakfast burrito with Steak and it was delicious and at a great price. Will return next time I'm in the area

I havent had any problems with this Taco place here at Elgin. I have been here many times and I always been satisfied with the service and food. The tacos in the area to be honest is priced about right compared to the competition and the options here are greater than other places. The food is also honestly in my opinion better than a lot of the competition. read more

This is the second time I have had to wait for my food. I asked for a taco with shell she gives me on without then I tell her to tells me to park and I have to wait for over 10 minutes. I tried giving them a second chance. Then they give me attitude. Sorry won't be back and I loved their food read more

Tacos was extremely small. Barely any meat in each. $17 for four small tacos is crazy. Never coming back here. Very disappointing. I would go elsewhere. read more

Jan 31, 2025 Never order from this place. We ordered food for delivery totaling over $40. They use Uber drivers to deliver the food...in which we never received. Got a text that food was delivered but we have ring security and no evidence of delivery. Called Tacos Jerez and they said they cannot do anything as they use Uber service and it was up to us to contact the driver. We did text the driver but since this was not done through our Uber app, no one could help us. Taco Jerez never apologized or offered any help or compensation. Extremely disappointed with this place, such a scam for them to take our $ and not get anything in return. We will certainly tell all our friends and neighbors to stay away. Had to give one star to post review but actually ZERO stars is more like it! read more

Beautiful restaurant, great service, and honestly the best steak tacos I've ever had. I'd eat here three times a day if I could. read more

Very disappointed. We were craving authentic mexican food. Ordered an asada burrito. By the first bite I knew it was going not going to be worth our money. All I could taste was the cold flour tortilla. Half of the burrito was tortilla. There was berly any meat. One slice of avocado. The aguas frescas were good. read more

My girlfriend and I like going here, and it's a good authentic Mexican restaurant. The chips are good, burritos are good and salsas are good and they have a good variety of salsas. read more

When I ordered from here, I was optimistic from the reviews..BUT when I got the food.. full disappointment. Felt as if I was given the leftovers or last remaining of the batch for the day. Tacos had little to no meat.. what did not help was the rice and beans. We all know rice and beans are cheap as is - but seems like they just gave me their leftovers of throughout the day. 0/10. Taste wise, I would rate it a 3/10. I've had bland tacos with no flavors that I would chose over this place, even Taco Bell.. Never again. They are cheap, skimp, and just not worth it. Paid $14 for a plate that cost no more than $5 to make. read more

My significant other and I have been waiting patiently for this place to open near us to try. Absolutely!!! Amazing!!!! I had the Birria Torta with the Consume and it was just mouth watering, perfectly seasoned and lots of cheesy goodness. He had the California Burrito made with steak and a side of beans and rice, the burrito was delicious as well. It's a cute small place to go and get some good tacos. I enjoy them having a grill viewing so you can see them work their magic on the flat top. I would absolutely go back. read more

I don't want to say anything bad about Chipotle, but I think I just might like the flavors of the burritos here better. Of course, I like how they bring you a variety of hot sauces, complimentary chips, how everyone who works there (and the one in Rolling Meadows) is always nice and friendly, etc. But the burritos? I think I have to give it to Tacos Jerez. read more

Absolutely delicious! Finally, good authentic Mexican food in Elgin! The staff was exceptionally nice as well. The chicken tacos are slightly bland, seasoning-wise, but still good. My husband said they have the best tamales he's ever had. read more

Barbacoa tacos are delicious. Cute restaurant and the bathrooms are immaculate. Happy to have a new taqueria around.

Burritos are smaller than most places in elgin, but very good. Salsa are amazing. This place is definitely quality over quantity.

Stopped by for an order to go for the first time. Portions were extremely small for the price. Basically three dime tacos with a child portion of rice and beans. Got three kinds of salsas and only the green one had a decent flavor to it. The rest tasted really weird. Got the pastor and chicharron tacos. Pastor was dry and flavorless. Chicharron was decent. Rice was mushy and beans tasted like it came from a can. The inside of the restaurant looked clean and bright though. read more

Great food- fast, friendly service! So glad we live around the corner. Using the toast app was seamless. read more

I ordered the pozole and I was disappointed, Golden Corral down the street had better pozole. My son ordered burrito dinner and when it arrived there was no rice beans and when we asked that this wasn't we ordered, they gave us the rice and beans and actually asked us that we have to pay for it $4.50 for rice and beans. Will not recommend or going back to this place!! read more
