Totopos - Veggie Tostadas - with chickpeas - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

1-Star Review -- This was one of the WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCES I have had in Naperville. This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in Naperville. It is not the first time I have had a similar experience at a Mexican restaurant in Naperville. This is now the fourth Mexican restaurant in the area where I have experienced problems with my order and poor customer service. Yesterday, I ordered a veggie burrito and a cup of elote. Before placing my order, I specifically asked what vegetables came on the burrito. I was told spinach, tomatoes, grilled onions, and rice. I then asked if they could add green bell peppers, raw onions, and cilantro. I was told there would be an additional $1.75 charge, and I agreed. Because I wanted to make sure my order was correct, I actually called back a second time before leaving my home and asked again what vegetables were included. Instead of simply answering my question, the employee responded in a rude and irritated manner, telling me, "Ma'am, you already asked me that." I explained that I just wanted to make sure everything was correct, and she confirmed the additional vegetables. When I got home and opened the burrito, it was extremely disappointing. There was mostly rice and spinach, with only a few pieces of bell pepper. The green bell peppers, onions, and cilantro I specifically requested--and paid extra for--were not there. The burrito was also very small considering the price. The elote was also incorrect. I specifically requested cheese, mayo, and the chili seasoning. Instead, it had some type of green onion or other ingredient that I did not request, and the taste was horrible. The food was terrible. The burrito was mostly rice and spinach, and the flavor was awful. The elote was also incorrect and tasted horrible. The total was approximately $24 for a small veggie burrito and a cup of elote, which I consider very expensive considering the quality, portion size, and the fact that my order was not prepared as requested. I then called and asked to speak with the manager because I wanted to explain what happened and give the restaurant an opportunity to address it. Unfortunately, the manager was extremely rude, dismissive, argumentative, and would not allow me to finish explaining the problem. She repeatedly interrupted me with "No, no, no" and insisted that the order was correct because she had been there and watched the peppers being prepared. That was not the issue. I was explaining that the ingredients I specifically requested were missing from MY burrito. Instead of listening to the customer and trying to resolve the situation, she argued with me and ultimately told me she didn't care when I said I would report the experience and leave a review. She then hung up on me. I am not someone who expects perfection, but I do expect a restaurant to prepare what I ordered, especially when I specifically confirmed the ingredients twice and paid an additional charge for them. More importantly, when a customer calls with a legitimate concern, the manager should listen and attempt to resolve the issue--not argue with the customer, dismiss the complaint, and hang up. The food was beyond disgusting, the order was incorrect, the price was excessive for what I received, and the customer service from management was unacceptable. One star because I cannot give zero. The food was disgusting, the order was incorrect, the price was excessive for what I received, and the customer service from management was unacceptable. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again. Regardless of anyone's background, every paying customer deserves to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. read more

I was thrilled to find this Vegan Mexican place right here in the Naperville area. They have not much place to sit and dine; but the food is fresh and satisfying. I loved the fruit flavored tamales (especially pineapple). Thanks for bringing vegan options to this area! read more

Tamales were so dry like eating a flavorless cat turd that's been sitting in the litter box for too long. The quesadilla and taco chicken tasted like shredded plain boiled chicken. Bland. No flavor. They don't give you any salsa, apparently. Unless you tell them specifically which kind you want, you dont get ANY. But as a new customer ordering online, how would you know what types there are to even choose from if there's no options or selection? What kind of a taco joint doesn't give you a couple tiny cups of salsa with your $50 plus order? Specially with your corn tortilla that is so hard and dried out that it's like eating a 120 grit sandpaper. Unfortunately, when you call to ask them what's up with that nonsense, they don't seem to care and just make up lies that they don't want to give out the wrong salsa because somebody might have a food allergy. Lol what? It's like ordering from Chinese and them not giving you any soy sauce packets cause somebody might be allergic to soy sauce.... I will not order again. read more

DON'T SKIP THIS PLACE. We all love Mexican food however, the problem with Mexican food is that each place tastes too similar to the next place. Totopos at this location is different. Their food is outstanding and I think it comes down to whomever it is that's doing the cooking, she's always doing the cooking and she is excellent. Anyway, if you carry-out, you'll notice the weight of your food because their portions are generous. There's a dish of a kind of breaded pepper that I never had before. Smiling, the chef cautioned me that the pepper is, "quite hot" and I thought, yeah right. When I got home to eat, they were hot... deliciously hot and I've since ordered them again. They also serve griddled onion bulbs which I've never seen on other menus. Anyway, you must check this place out. read more

The staff is terrific and their food is phenomenal. Best chorizo tostadas around. I live in Florida most of the year, but when I am here, this place a must! read more

Amazed, their vegan options are amazing. Something about the good brings back great memories.

We visited Totoro's for an early dinner on a Wednesday night while in Naperville. When we arrived we there was only one other family seated inside so we were able to order right away. The friendly cashier greeted us right away and offered menus. I ordered a chicken Gordita, rice & beans and small chips and guacamole. My friend ordered a Gordita, 2 tacos, and esquites. We were offered any salsa we wanted for our entrees and asked for an assortment. The chips and guacamole came out first. The chips were a large portion. The guacamole was creamy but was missing something. The food came out next next! Everything was super fresh. The Gordita was larger than expected and piping hot. Well stuffed with chicken, cheese, beans and topped with lettuce and tomatoes. It was fresh and hot but the chicken was lacking in flavor. The side of rice and beans was a generous portion (I was able to share it). My friend loved the tacos. The esquites were a little heavy on the cream so that made the temperature lukewarm to cold. As we sat inside the dinner rush started. I would return again in the future. The service was friendly, the portions were generous, and the location was convenient. read more

We stopped by last night, to dine in this time. There is only one table and some counter seating. We grabbed a couple of seats at the counter. We got the chicken tostada, 3 taco plate with rice and beans - two chicken and one chorizo. We also got chicken tamale and pineapple and coconut tamale - which was new to us. It tasted sooo good, I could've easily eaten three of them. All the food tasted good. My only complaint is about the salsas, they only give a couple of small salsa containers with the food. Each time we wanted some more, they only gave us these two small containers. Would love if they have some other salsa option when dining in. Otherwise, the food is really good. read more

Tastes like Taco Bell, waited 47 minutes for a burrito, no seating area, go somewhere else burrito costed $18.00 better off at Taco Bell, than this joint. Never returning. Save your money for a place that deserves it. read more

Food: the veggie taco was ok but when I opened the to-go package the corn tortilla fell apart from all the liquid from the veggies I assume. Try grilling veggies then adding to tortilla. Guacamole lacked salt was just ok. Steak in the steak burrito tasted funny according to my 13 yr old daughter and they put rice in burrito when I specifically told them what I wanted. I Never mentioned rice. Service: I felt sorry for the young lady who took my order but she needs better training and lacked knowledge of the payment system and became flushed and nervous when I asked questions. Price for 2 veggie tacos, large steak burrito with added avocado, 8 oz guacamole, chips (extra charge), jaritto soda----$49.18 !!! The hot sauce was watered down with zero "hotness". I know this place been open for a while and this is Naperville. But the food and prices for me was disappointing. I'm born and raised Latino American from Chicago and when I experience this type of food and service its sad. Never did I hear food cooking on a grill and this is a small place. read more

Legit Mexican food in Naperville. I lived here a few years and yearned for good Mexican food. Totopos opened the year I moved. Happy to now have a great place to go when I visit. - Located in a strip mall. Only one table in the corner and a high bay against the window - the lady working the counter was fantastic. Talked with passion and knowledge about the menu, prep style, seasonings, etc. - I had the chiliquiles and y'all...they were legit. Over easy eggs, extra sauce (my request) and a well prepped chorizo (good flavor and not greasy). Flavor of the sauce was fantastic. - chips still were firm, which allowed the sauce to hold the eggs and chorizo when eating. Beans and rice were well flavored (assuming the beans were cooked w lard - which is the only way to go). - my companions had the steak breakfast burrito and the veggie breakfast burrito. As you can see, they are seared on the grill after prep for a nice crunchy outside. I will be back - every time I am near Naperville. Kinda wish I was there now. read more

Fresh ingredients and oh so good! Picked up 3 orders of barbacoa tacos combo and brought it home. Wonderfully fresh and flavorful. A family favorite. Newly painted and decorated for dia de los muertos too. Never disappointed when we get carryout from here. If i could i would give 10 stars. Love totopos! read more

Great spot for Mexican food. Everyone there is friendly and everything is made fresh. I've had quite a few of the tacos, the vegan tostada, quesadillas and pazole and enjoyed all of them. It's a small place and looks like most people order to go, but there is seating to eat there. Make sure to read the signs because that is often where you will find options that are not on the menu. read more

Very small inside. There were 3 other guests inside and it felt very cramped. Menus were on a table. It took a few minutes for someone to take our order. There is a 4% service fee for paying with credit card. Food was ok. Very greasy and oily. Meat was flavorful. read more

Super friendly service and great prices. One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area for casual dining! highly recommended read more

Còmo se dice, Gawd Dayum! We had a great time in this little gem. The food was excellent, the decor was bright and adorable. We tried three different tacos, chips and guac, and a sope combo. I had a super tasty horchata and the hubby had a watermelon water. The horchata wasn't overly sweet which I appreciated. This isn't fast food, you're reminded of this when you walk in but in our experience it didn't take long at all to get our meals. Every protein was well seasoned and prepared. We had chicken, pork, steak, and shrimp so we could get the heartbeat of the place. They take their food seriously and it shows. It was a meal we were sad about. Sad we haven't been there sooner. And sad that the meal was over. read more

Great lunch spot for speedy service. My coworker had a torta and I ordered the steak burrito. I enjoyed the red sauce. My belly was happy when we left. Small but quaint. I will return. read more

Totopos - Steak burrito - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

We received a coupon in a mailer for this place and decided to try it for carry out. The tacos were reasonably priced and I had 2--steak and Al Pastor. Both were excellent and had a good amount of meat on them for tacos. They had a number of sauces to pick from and I liked the green better than the medium red which added some additional flavors. My husband had the (huge) Crazy Burrito with hot Christmas sauces on his, and it was also excellent. We ordered chips and guacamole also, and the chips were not greasy (a previously review noted they were) and the guac was huge and wonderful. I love Mexican food and we will be back to this new find for us. read more

The place is small form inside a couple of outside stealing but big group will have hard time in seating. But the food is great. There are so many options for vegetarians and vegan. They have soy meat varieties which are so good. There are menu items that are authentic and different than you eat anywhere else. We tried taco combo with 3 different options grilled veggies, soy chorizo, and soy sausage. We tried tamale with black beans and soy chorizo. Tried Gordita with soy chorizo and with cactus also. They make food fresh so really hot which you want. The server was very sweet and helpful. They offer specials which change so we will surely return to taste other dish. read more

Totopos - Taco trio with vegetarian rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

We had a taste for tacos and decided to come here for lunch. First thing, this place is extremely tiny. There was 1 guy and 2 other guys waiting for their food, and it was crowded! I ordered a chicken burrito and a beef gordita. The positive is you get a lot of food for your money. Overall, the food was okay. It was extremely greasy, and the flavor was lacking. They do give you a green sauce, but it didn't do much for me. The employees were friendly, and the one employee did bring us ice water while we were waiting. The temperature inside was hot and very stuffy. You could feel the fried foods in the air. The stools we sat at were greasy from people touching them. I think I used the hand sanitizer to clean my hands multiple times. It didn't look like they had a public bathroom. Overall, okay place. It's not a place I would return to, though. Definitely one and done. read more

Loved this place! It's a cute little place - it has one small table and counter seating if you're dining in. We got a variety of tacos steak, al pastor, and Mexican sausage all were great! Definitely good portions on meat and they have some tasty salsa options too. Service was amazing! Which seems funny given that it's a small little place and I'm sure a lot of people order to go, but the person working the register was so kind. She checked in on us multiple times to make sure we were good. The place had great vibes and great music too. Would definitely come back! read more

We ordered for carryout: Al pastor tacos Chicken tacos Posole The posole was a bit salty for me since I have to watch my sodium intake. My husband liked the posole though with the included condiments of chips and veggies. The al pastor was on the greasy side, but they were enjoyed by my family along with the chicken tacos and the two salsas. Would return with a taco craving next time I'm in the area :) read more

We came to Naperville for boba at Vannies, but we couldn't leave the town without trying new food! I was surprised by their vegetarian menu! It wasn't just a veggie burrito! There's more! We ordered tamales, a tostada, and a chalupa. I thought the tamales were creative. I loved the black bean filling in one of them. The strawberry tamale was for their February special menu. It was my first time trying a sweet tamale, and it was good! I guess I'm just used to the taste of regular tamales, my taste buds are not used to the vegan kind. (I'm vegetarian-ISH lol) I enjoyed the cactus salad tostada! It was fresh and filling! It was also my first time trying cactus. I'm glad I tried it on the tostada. I would order it again! My husband ordered the chalupa. He said it was okay. He plans on trying something else on the vegetarian menu. The service was great. The lady was very helpful and she shared a little back story about how she wanted her mom (the owner) to be more inclusive for plant based customers. She said that almost half of their clientele are vegetarians, which is pretty cool! We look forward to coming back and trying something new! Also, we got all this food plus a medium pineapple water for $28 & some change. Not bad!! Enjoy :) read more

Ordered food from here today over Grubhub, our driver had to wait for the order for quite a while, but we weren't in a rush so it wasn't a big deal. We also got notified that the restaurant delayed our order. Me and my sister both got the veggie burrito with no sour cream for me and no sour cream or cheese for my sister. We also got guac on the side. The side of guac is huge! We had plenty left over. The burrito looked really good on the outside but it was like really bland. We put so much guac and salsa on it to give it some flavor but it just felt like biting into plain white rice with lettuce. Also spinach is one of my very favorite vegetables, but it should not be in this burrito, it made it sort of stringy and threw of the texture. The salsa and guacamole were good though, but don't think I'd go for a burrito again if I return. read more

Totopos - Veggie Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Just another vegetarian swooning over their giant vegetarian menu (with easy options for vegans). It isn't just the same options you see everywhere - if you don't want burritos or tacos, how about sope or gorditas? There are also non-meat options on the regular menu, and at least when I've been there, vegetarian tamale options which don't require pre-ordering. The fake chorizo and fake beef are both fine (I'm not usually a big fake meat fan) and everything I've had here is delicious. I just wish I was in the neighborhood more often. Tiny seating area inside; upcharge if you use a credit card instead of cash. read more

Outstanding customer service! Delicious food - we ordered steak quesadilla and pozole with horchata. Highly recommend read more

Great authentic Mexican restaurant in the burbs. Small little place but great food! There are three tables inside with about room for 2-3 people on each table. They have two small outside tables if you wish to sit outside and eat. The ladies working here are super friendly and you can see they enjoy what they do. Great items to pick from on the menu and they are made fresh. They have a lot of traffic going in and out (carryout orders) but the food we ordered arrived what i consider quickly. They have a separate vegetarian option on the menu which is nice and makes it easy to order for those who are vegetarian. Give them a try, I would highly recommend. read more

Solid Mexican tacos a la carte! Tried the chicken, pork, and barbacoa, and all were tasty. Nothing extraordinary, but the generous portions of meat were a good plus. The rice and beans were also very good. I just wish there was a bathroom or at least a sink to wash your hands after eating. We will be coming back to try their breakfast burritos! read more

Definitely should have paid more attention to the recent reviews. The place must have changed. Came in for lunch today and picked up a steak Milla, Nessa torta. And it was Terrible. The meat was dry and no flavor. The avocado was not ripe and hard. disappointed. So many more choices in Naperville. As for atmosphere. Walked in the restaurant. It is super small. But the music was so loud they couldn't even hear my order. read more

Love the steak burritos here, always a solid meal very authentic. I've eaten here multiple times back to 2020 and I will continue as my go to Mex takeout. read more

Quality is a bit hit or miss but overall excellent food! I don't know that we have had anything bad persay, just that it's almost like have you ever tried to make a family recipe grandma used to make? It's still good, it's just missing something. It's like that some days it tastes like Grandma made it, sone days it's like someone is reading grandma's recipe. Highly recommend the shrimp ceviche when they have it as a special! read more

Went to pick up 6 tacos with no toppings and saw a sign that said prices on menu do not match current prices. $35.00 for 6 tacos is absolutely ridiculous. I can feed a family of 5 for $35.00. Never going back. read more

This is the kind of place everyone wishes they had in their neighborhood. Absolutely authentic, made to order, great value Mexican food. The flavors are familiar but not Tex-Mex. The quesadillas are the chickeniest chicken flavor. The grilled vege quesadilla is as satisfying as meat. The cemitas and tortas will be a revelation for those who think Mexican "sandwiches" are always in a tortilla. My favorite is the Arabe Taco - spicy peanut sauced Beef morsels. The posole is hearty and delicious. Tamales are excellent; especially the pineapple / coconut! Guacamole is silky and flavorful. There are numerous vegetarian options. No liquor license. Only a few tables. This is NOT fast food. You will see your order prepared in front of you. DO NOT BITCH because they don't turn or order around in 2 minutes. It is worth the wait. (Especially if you sip a horchata while waiti read more

Small place but amazing food and staff was so welcoming and offered to let us try their special dessert that day. Probably best for carry out rather than eating there. read more

Cute, small carry-out place. Ordered the Sopa and it was very good food. Recommend. Service was friendly.

Hidden gem! Found this spot when the taco craving hit and it's got such a homey feeling as soon as you walk in, like I was walking into my grandparents house when grandma was cooking up some goodness. The smell alone is fantastic. The space is small so not great for a big group but take-out was quick and easy. While I'm a carnivore they also offer a large vegetarian menu which is nice. Chicken tacos hit the spot as they are more tinga style (without heat) instead of plain grilled chopped chicken., soooooo good! The rice and beans were also really tasty and fresh. The only negatives I have were the guac for one, way too onion heavy. Also the pork tamale while flavorful with some good heat it was on the dry side and lastly the steak taco, was decent but nothing special, would definitely go chicken all the way next time. read more
