It's the last day of my visit in town and we decided this is where we had to go. We were welcomed by Nataliaa and treated as if we were eating in the family home. We all had chilaquiles with a side of al pastor and tried the asada tacos It was AMAZING! So flavorful; the best smokey spice, tender meat and huge portions. I will be craving Atotonilcos for a long time! I highly recommend. I wish I would've taken pics but the food looked so good we all dove right i ! read more

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! We need food like this in KY!!! I'll be back when in Chicago area!

First they got my order wrong, then the Steak burrito was full of grease, it was actually dripping out of it. The chicken taco was dry. My girlfriend actually got food poisoning for 2 days after. NEVER again. read more

Came here after the glow lights show at slammers stadium. Staff was very nice and checked in often. I also liked the tables carrots and limes. Al pastor - super flavorful and spicy Chorizo - very fatty. A little soft. I think I like crispier chorizo Atotonilco - steak was super flavorful and I loved the creamy sour cream Carne - atotonilco was better Birria - a little dry read more

This is a great taco, the very best in the area. Two tacos will fill you up. I had that plus a torta de arrachera(Skirt steak sandwich), and I was stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey. Really good place, pleasant atmosphere, clean, and the service was excellent. read more

Now this is one of my favorite Taco spots in Joliet and it's a little pricey but worth every penny . I been eating Atotonilco since I was a little kid on 26th street and I must say that the food still tastes the same . I will never stop eating here because it's quality food you can taste the difference between regular Taco and quality tacos and don't listen to the fake reviews Atotonilco is one of the best places in Chicago and Joliet and let not forget stone park location read more

We were headed to the Rialto for a show and looking for a restaurant convenient to the theater. We saw Atotonico's on the map with great reviews. It was a great decision. The food is excellent, and the service is friendly and fast. I had the steak tacos. I had them with no cheese because I like the taste of steak. The steak was delicious. I highly recommend them. My wife had the steak burrito and said it was very good. We will be going back. read more

Comida muy rica, y gracias a Juan Carlos por el excelente servicio! Con gusto regresamos! Lo recomiendo. read more

First time customer at THIS location. We drove 30 mins. Bc I wanted your tacos, usually we would have gone all the way to 47th or 26th st. But it's too far for us. And I was hangry! I must say it was great! I was skeptical. Hands down totally recommend. Thank you! read more

Everything about Taquerias Atontolico was fantastic! The guacamole, tacos, tortas, chilaquiles -- all of it was so fresh and absolutely delicious. We also tried the churros -- homemade! They were crispy right out of the deep fryer, so good. And fried ice cream, yum! And to top it off the service was 5+ . Kind, attentive, funny! It was truly a fantastic experience! You will love it! read more

Very good experience. Our party of 12 came in after going to the Glow light show at the Slammers stadium and they sat us right away. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious! I highly recommend this Atotonilco! read more

Food is phenomenal, vibe is amazing, everyone is so welcoming and nice, overall best Tacos I've ever tasted in my life, meat tastes like meat is supposed to taste, and authentic. read more

Opted to dine in. Friendly service and food came out hot and fast. IMO the tacos al pastor are the best I've had in Chicagoland. My daughter loved her carne asada tacos and order of freshly made churros as well read more

gracias a Juan Carlos por el excelente servicio, comida muy rica y auténtica. regresaremos pronto read more

This was a great find after 9pm on a Wednesday!!! Had the signature taco trio and it was superb!!! Next time I'm in Joliet I would definitely make a stop here. read more

Ok this location been here twice many years ago and now but this one just doesn't feel like the real atotonilco though hmm the food is decent but don't taste the same as 47th 57th or the one and only 26th street locations. The horchata was bad to be honest they need to make it in house taste like it made from a bag and if it's made here then they need to stick to the original way of making it like the other locations. And no baskets for your tacos??? Come on guys keep it classic!! read more

Food is very good, especially the al pastor and elotes. However, if you cannot speak fluent spanish expect bad service unfortunately. They have marinated carrots and limes complimentary but I found it odd no complimentary chips and salsa. We ordered chips and salsa but also do not expect actual salsa. .its just hot sauce in a bowl. Hubby said his steak fajitas were average. Horchata tasted like vanilla milk. I would pass on that next time. The beans and rice were very tasty. read more

See all

Stopped for a quick lunch. The service was good but the food was great. The owner stopped by and gave the history of this and all the families restaurants. He ended with some samples of the Al Pastor, which is the house favorite. It was worth the trip. read more

My favorite tacos de pastor in Joliet! We order from here all the time and it's always delicious!

Great food and amazing service! The tacos al pastor are delicious. The meat is perfectly marinated and the salsa enhances the flavor making it even better tasting. I enjoyed coming here with my family and how accommodating they were to our group of 10. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Great taco spot in Joliet. Not fancy nor large inside, but the restaurant is clean and sanitized between customers. Staff is nice and very helpful. The al pastor tacos are spot on. Carrots and limes are a nice touch. read more

Excellent food! It was delicious and the prices were fine. And very clean establishment. I would suggest eating there before a show at Rialto, and get your drinks maybe closer to the venue. Only because you have to drive a few blocks. I would go back. Very authentic Mexican food, and great service. read more

Tacos are great but the tortas are too pricey and lack a lot. Overall the milkshakes are to die for. There's a lady there who always takes care of me and has a great personality. Whether it's takeout or dining in this spot is great read more

I hadn't been to this Joliet location in a while since I don't live nearby. I used to go to the 26th Street location in Chicago. The food was fine, but I feel that it is way overpriced. 5 steak tacos, one burrito, one milanesa torta, 4 drinks= $71. Tacos are $5 and Jarrito bottle drinks $4. We paid $2.50 to add cheese to my daughter's tacos, they first said they couldn't add it directly on the tacos. We said we would pay the extra charge but wanted it melted. Our waiter brought the tacos with the cheese not melted. Then a waitress came by to remind us again that the owner changed the practice of adding cheese directly on tacos. Then we can hear her complaining to other employees about this. I gave it 3 stars because we don't understand the big deal of adding cheese and overpriced food. read more

Friendly service. Plenty of meat in my tacos. The chorizo was really really salty to me, but overall it was good. I had some rice and refried beans also which offset the saltiness. If you pay cash it will be cheaper since there is a fee if you use credit card. Overall I would come back. There is parking and a drive through. It is near a Dollar Tree. read more

Best Al pastor tacos I've ever eaten Steak tacos were excellent as well. Be sure to get red sauce on Al pastor, it is optional but it is extremely recommended!!! read more

Super friendly service and the Al Pastor was very good but way too many misses on the other tacos and food for me to go back.

Stopped in tonight with a friend before a concert at the Rialto. I've dined at this and the Stone Park location previously. The staff was friendly and very quick to take and deliver our order. The steak tacos were delicious, the shells were very warm and slightly crisped. Heavenly. Loved the garnish with the spiced carrots and fresh limes. The taco sauce was a hit too. All of this was washed down with a couple bottles of Jarritos Orange pop. Yummy. My friend lives close to here and I'm sure she'll be back! Wish I lived closer to the locations. I'll definitely be back when I'm out in Joliet or Stone Park. Most excellent. read more

Love this place! My new place for authentic Mexican food! The owner, Scottie, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet!

I didn't realize this Jen was so close to home. Always went to the original in Cicero until I was told of this one on Cass Street. Excellent Al Pastor. read more

One of my favorite taco spots in Joliet that also just so happens to serve the most delicious milkshakes. They're unlike any shake I've ever had and they top them with cinnamon which just gives it that extra flavor. I highly recommend the chocolate or strawberry shake! They are cash-only but have an ATM available onsite should you need it. read more

Amazing staff! Amazing service! Went in and made a to go order. For the amount of food it was fast service. They even gave us a birria taco to try while we waited. It was amazing! Will definitely be going back! read more

Had the taco truck for our annual 4th or July party for the second year in a row. Once again, UNBELIEVABLE! Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend for parties over 100 people. You will not be disappointed! read more

Highly recommended Mexican restaurant. Owner and staff are all top notch. Some of our families favorites are the Gringas special on Thursday nights, the lemonade and the fish tacos. If you're in the area grab yourself a quick meal. Even if you're not, it's worth the travel. We drive 20 minutes every Thursday to meet up with friends for some tacos. read more

The tacos and tortas are delicious. Super authentic! Great service friendly staff, the best in joliet!

Heard about this place from a friend. We got the birria. It was delicious. Totally recommend them. They are a bit pricey. But worth the money. read more

Greeted by friendly and prompt staff. Enjoyed on the house new menu item; baked potatoe served with your choice of meat. We enjoyed the baked potatoe with carne asada. Thank you to the restaurant for providing great service! Happy we found a place near by that serves good tacos. read more

Best Tacos in Chicago, owner asked me and my daughter to try a possible new loaded baked potato dish they are thinking of adding to the menu. It was awesome!!! Please add it to the menu! Thank you read more
