Fair warning that this place opened fairly recently, so my experience could be quite different from…read morehow they operate in the future. I went to Tacool the first few days after they opened hoping to find a new spot right in the center of campus for a quick lunch. I ordered an al pastor torta, which was about $12 after tax. After waiting a bit, I finally got my order and was satisfied, but felt that it could have been a lot more flavorful compared to other tortas at similar or cheaper prices around campus. I have yet to try other items on their menu, like their tacos or flautas which I've heard were decent by word of mouth, but my experience here was only average at best. Given the amount of similar food on campus, I'm not planning on re-visiting, but since this restaurant is also in the middle of campus I may eventually come around to it anyways. Overall, I think one would still have to try Tacool for themselves and decide.

I will say that the only thing negative I could say about it. Is they made you pay for water they didn't even give you a glass of water made you buy a bottle. That was kind of ridiculous. Otherwise tacos are delicious. If it wasn't for the Water thing they definitely would've got five stars.

I do miss DR and in fact go into somewhat of a case of DT's every time I drive past it. I'm going to have to drop in soon. In the 25+ years we've been going there never once have we had a bad experience. However it's best to avoid during U of I home games.

My husband, 2 year old, and 4 year old decided to try out this restaurant. I ordered my children…read more(from the kids menu) two chicken quesadillas. Our waiter said to us "the grilled chicken quesadilla?" I said yes because there was only the one chicken option on the kids menu so I assumed that's what he's talking about. After we got our bill we were charged $2 extra for each kid because of the way the chicken was cooked. I asked him what the modification up charge was for and he said it's because I asked to have the grilled chicken and I said I never asked for that I just pointed to the kids chicken option and he said that. (Again I had no idea there's more than one option of cooking the meat for my 2 and 4 year olds meal). He told me he would be right back. At this point no one is angry. He came back with the manager who asks what the problem is and I told her the same thing I was unaware of the modification up charge and she then said everyone just knows that and it doesn't need to be put on the menu because everyone just knows. I said we've never been here before, how would I know that and she then decided to question if I was lying to her and questions if I'm lying to her while rolling her eyes and smirking at me, and says whatever and walks away to make the adjustment. After I went to go pay, I confronted her saying that was very rude to question if I was lying to her and to roll her eyes at me. She then continued to laugh at me and roll her eyes and say what do you want me to do, just leave. I have never had someone who I'm assuming is the manager be so rude before. I guess make sure you are not being charged for something random because if you want it taken off you will be laughed at and called a liar for not just knowing it's an up-charge. Also the food was just okay.

I came in looking for Dominican or columbian soup because I'm a soup girl, and even though they have soups on Friday and Saturday, I stayed to try the chicharon con arroz. Chicharon, white rice and avocado are pictured. Their lemon pickled onions were delicious. The pork meat melted off the bones and avocado brought all the flavors together although it was extra, avocado for any Latin meal is essential! The service was efficient and the food came out hot and quickly! Shred the meat, spoon a lil rice and avocado, add a little picked salad and boom, the perfect bite. El Paraiso gets my stamp of approval. The bachata music in the background added a special touch to my meal.
