    WORST PLACE!! This place use TO be A greaT PLACE TO GO EAT! I starter tO have the worst costumer Service my orders were Always wrong and all they did was point fingers at each other instead of accepting fault and fixing it. A few weeks ago I ordered mixed fajitas chicken and shrimp and that's an expansive order since they charge extra !!! My husband picked up the order and when we open it up at home the fajitas had no veggies!!! I called and complained and the manager stated it was the cashiers fault, she said I had a credit for next time just to give my name! Well I tried ordering the same dinner and gave my name and my name was no where to be found. The cashier transfer me to the person In charge and she said she couldn't do anything about it, that I had to call the next day when the manager I spoke to about my credit was their !! Which I believe was Lisa.That she wasn't authorized to give me the credit nor could no anything about it. Later I found out that the person I spoke to that said she could t do anything because she wasn't authorized was actually the OWNER!! Wow!!! I was in shock to know that the owner could care less for the costumes that make her business run. Mind you I am pregnant and had the worst experience twice and the worst was speaking to the owner. If I was you I would think it twice before going their to eat. If the owner doesn't lift not one finger to make things right little the less the cashiers and staff no wonder the service their has gone down the hill. It's sad to see a restaurant that was once good end this way.

    Great Steak Tortas & tacos! Been coming here for 10 years! I have had wrong orders when I called for pick up but they always fix it by giving extra free food and giving my food really fast!

    I've been coming here since I was red-eyed teenager getting the munchies at 1:30 in the morning on a Friday night back in the late 90s. First thing you should know is that they have more food than any other Mexican place that I've ever seen. I like to describe it as the Mexican equivalent of a Greek restaurant. Most of it is pretty good. You should definitely a variety of things on the menu. Back when I was a night owl, I would only ever get 2 things: either the nachos locos or a burrito. The nachos locos are amazing, but be prepared for the chips to get soggy by the time you get to the bottom of it. On top of the chips is ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and some refried beans. I've never been a huge fan of lettuce on nachos, but I make an exception for them here. The burritos are, or rather used to be, huge. They're still really big, but they have definitely gone down in size. I like the burritos, but they're not my favorite. They're very often under seasoned and the lettuce is too finely chopped so it mushes up quickly. They also have a variety of weird stuff that you just don't find anywhere else: freshly squeezed orange juice, a machine that makes a variety of hot chocolate drinks, corn in a cup (which is a delicious mix of corn, mayonnaise, and parmesan cheese -- trust me it's good). And it's reasonably priced and open late. That's what keeps me coming back for more.

    So I usually order from El Burrito Loco in Bolingbrook and even recommend it to friends. I am a disabled customer and all of a sudden, today they refuse to bring my order out to the car like normal. The rude attendant on the phone told me the order was ready and the price, in perfect English, but when I politely asked if the order could be brought to my car, she said she couldn't understand what I was saying, and abruptly hung up on me! Not good service from a place I have long supported and ate at quite frequently.

    PINCHE COMIDA QUE NO SERVIR. oh sorry translate that in english., FU#$ING NASTY ASS FOOD!!! Why 2 stars might u ask?? Because I like the all you can drink horchata!! THATS IT!! Let me start by saying I live close by so I take the back route behind the restaurant, and what I found was NASTY!!! So I drove behind the place and standing next to the dumpster in his apron was the cook with other employees smoking. I mean his apron was SUPER dirty and appearance was awful, standing next to the dumpster talking!! The only thing I kept asking myself was OH LORD does he at least take it off to use the bathroom??? Whatever I take my risk go in and order. Place looks like crap but still take the risk and order. Staff is super friendly, no complain there. Now the menu has a good selection but maybe a little too much. Too much can be bad, find a few good things and stick to that, but what do I know. Back to my food, I ordered 2 steak tacos and one pastor taco (rice & beans). I literally was spitting out the chunks of fat on the steak, it was disgusting! My pastor taco was ok but I've had better. The rice had no flavor and the beans im pretty sure are from a can. My husband ordered the steak burrito, he also said he has had better, he's not that picky (he'll eat about anything) lol so yeah I mean I haven't tried much but honestly I don't think I want to. Mexican restaurants are every where, and if you suck the first time.... I'm moving on!!!

    The steak burrito was amazing but the service was sluggish and the place needed to be wipe down (like floors, door handles, tables, seats the hot sauces). I've worked in food service to know some people are lazy when it comes to cleanliness but when we asked for the horchata dispenser to be refilled..... She scooped it out of a large dirty bucket of horchata using a smaller bucket and half her arm was covered in horchata. My boyfriend still drank it but would have like to have never witness that.

    I have been a fan of El Burrito Loco for years. It's a no-frills, storefront restaurant that has excellent food! We've had soups, tacos, guacamole - it's all fresh, tasty and affordable. The service is fast and friendly - even though they act like they've never had anyone order bean (frijoles) tacos before - it's an ordeal to explain that I don't want any MEAT on my tacos and that happens every single time we order from here. Their food is great when carried out but they have a nice sized, comfortable dining room if you want to eat in. Great local place.

    My fiancé and I moved to Illinois recently from San Diego. We have tried a couple of taco shops in the area to remind us of home. El burrito loco is pretty good. This is our second time, where we discovered they will deliver in a certain radius from the store.....score! My better half ordered a chorizo and egg burrito, three chicken tacos, and I got a veggie burrito. His chorizo and egg burrito was very good, and I know this because his burrito was misplaced in my labeled veggie burrito container. My burrito was missing one of the key ingredients, so I was rather disappointed. Finally, three tacos were ordered, but we only received ONE. One. The one we received was very good. We know this shop produces great food, and we spent extra to get it delivered. IF we go back, we will pick up the order. I only eat Mexican food every few months, so I was really looking forward to my dinner... But man, I'm more disappointed than stoked due to the experience...

    This place is awesome. I had the steak burrito--it was massive. The rate was amazing and the salsa verde was just the right spicy.

    My husband and I had a taste for Mexican food and seeing as I havent been to El Burrito Loco since my "I need to sober up food" days we decided to give this place a go. I remembered it being good...but really after alcohol what DOESNT taste good? First off, maybe it was the time we came but I will call it unorganized chaos. I needed to pay with my card and got the "you dont have cash??" question from the woman ringing us up. After awhile someone comes back with my card, I signed, and we waited. And waited. We see a take out bag on the counter that was picked up and put behind them in the warmer. My husband assumed they were waiting on something else for the order. So about 10 minutes go by my husband asks about the bag that apparently they never gave us bc they thought we hadnt paid yet. They asked for the receipt...never got. So for about 10 minutes we were waiting for our food that was just sitting there, with our one year old, oh yeah it then starts to pour outside. Lovely. Get home and my taco tortillas are so soggy it was so hard to eat. No sour cream in the bag, hope I didnt pay for it....let me check my recei...oh thats right. Never got one. My husband liked his food but I think overall I may pass next time. What a mess.

    Called this establishment once to talk to the manager Lisa. Lisa was very unprofessional, rude, and not friendly. I have been coming to this location for a while now, I never had a bad meal here, but now I won't ever come back or spend my money at EL Burrito Loco. I don't know what it is about women managers, but they have this attitude they own you and the world. I won't ever come back here or eat here at the bolingbrook location. I would rather go to the bloomingdale area anyway.

    My husband loves this place. This is the 2nd time I've eaten from there. Last time I had nachos and guacamole, which both were excellent. However, tonight's meal was less than stellar. I asked for mild stuff, as chilli peppers and me do not agree. However, I guess mild means bland to them. Everything tasted so bland and non-descript. The meat was tender, but under-seasoned. Not to mention they had run out of guacamole tonight, so I got a tiny bit on my burrito bowl. Their store is about 100 ft from a Mexican grocery store, which either a. sells avocados or b. guacamole. I won't be eating there again, but I'm sure hubby will be back.

    Great Steak Tacos & Burritos, and great Horchata! Nachos Locos are excellent! They've cleaned this location up nicely, and it's a bit larger than other ones I've visited. I have to agree with Bill O., however----he is correct about the comments made by some of the "men" there, especially during late hours. I've also noticed it was sometimes hard to communicate with some of the males there taking orders behind the counter......

    Holy VACA, Batman! This is the hot spot for family night on Fridays. Lots of Hispanic families in here. I sensed this was a good thing. I could not believe how busy this place was at 7:00 p.m. I ordered a chicken chimichanga suiza and some chips with a side of guacamole. This was way too much food for one person, but I'm not complaining. I spent $12, and I ate more than 3/4 of the chimi and I have some chips and guacamole leftover. The chimichanga wasn't as crispy as I'd prefer, but I think it de-crisps a little when they melt the cheese. The guacamole was good, but not Chipotle good. The to-go service was slow. If I wasn't as hungry as I was, feeling like my stomach was eating me from the inside out, I would've been a little more patient. I noticed another customer being indecisive when ordering. I overhead the manager/owner tell her, "It's okay, if you don't like it, we will change it." A few minutes later, the guy went over to her table to ask how she liked her food. Next time I'll try the horchata. What was I thinking?

    I liked it! With respect to some of the previous reviews, I'm not sure how some found this to be expensive. My wife and I had a filling dinner for under $22. The ingredients tasted fresh. The meat was just fine. Not crazy seasoned and spicy, but good. I liked my sopes very much. I was sad that I didn't see the hochota (sp ... rice water) dispenser (almost about to poke me in the eye), until after I filled my cup with soda. Extensive menu. Great service! No, we didn't order french fries. But, then why would someone go to a Mexican place and expect excellent french fries? McDonalds is across the parking lot. Go over there. This was my first time here. We were probably the only patrons there, who spoke English as our first language - many Latin customers. I might be a bit simplistic in my view, but I take it to be a good sign. Also had the bonus of watching soccer on two of the TVs in the restaurant.

    With the exception of the CRAZY high sodium.. In the meat... Yummm. It is so salty you taste that before the flavor. But dollar for dollar... Soo with it. Large portions... Good presentation. Huge variety. 2. Types of poppers. Clean. Our order taker knew the menu and walked through out order with us. Nice. Ppl in and out.. Constant flow of take out. 2 ckn taco w/cilantro added, lg quac w/chips, med pop & a beer, chimichanga dinner (w/ beans & rice) side of sour cream and order of poppers. $33.77 do worth it. Salt & all.

    I'm new to Chicago. My husband and I are from California. We were in Bolingbrook and stop at this place for Lunch. This place was pretty authentic. About as close to the border as you could get. I had the Pozole and my husband had a el pasdor burrito. For one thing the burrito was huge and full of meat not rice and beans. My Pozole tasted just like homemade. very good. If we are in bolingbrook again I will definitely go here again. I only gave four stars for not having a salsa bar.

  • Christopher F.

    The most authentic mexican in boilingbrok and one of the best in the Chicago area. The food is great and very well priced, their burrito's are the best I have ever had with no gringo rice filling. Also their salsa's are made fresh, they have a milder red salsa and a hotter green tomatio based salsa. In addition their Nacho's locos is out of this world using queso blanco instead of typicl Nacho cheese sauce. Their sope's, enchildas, and ceviche tostada are amazing, also for real authenticity their menundo is a must try. Unfortanetly, Bill O's comment is true, late at night their are a lot of blue collar drunk Mexicans that will give your date some unwanted attention. May want to eat their in a group late at night, however, from 11am to 7pm I have never run into that problem.

    2 1/2 stars at most. After reading some reviews, I decided to come in and try this place myself. The people (staff) were very nice to deal with. The meal came out pretty quick. The baby burrito was good-sized and sour cream was an extra $.40. No problem. The place itself was clean. My order was done pretty quickly as well. So far, so good. I ordered the chicken burrito. The size was decent. The ingredients (onions, lettuce, etc) were very fresh (and cold to give the hot-cold contrast). The sad thing for me is that the dressings were better than the meat. The meat was BLAND!!!! In fact, it tasted almost watery. It was almost like it was boiled and not seasoned. Heck, you can boil a chicken but still add some seasoning after the fact. It wasn't done here, at least on this visit. The hot sauce was OK. Not the worst, but there are better in Bolingbrook. Taco Diner, Bucho's & Zacataco's come to mind. I haven't been to Racho Santa Fe since its reopening but if it was as good as I remember, I'll be back there as well. In my humble opinion, Loco doesn't measure up to the others burrito places Bolingbrook has to offer. I'm not sure if this is privately/company ownerd or franchise so that may factor in.

    The reviews for this place kind of goes like "you might get touched by some drunk blue collar patrons, but the food is worth it." It's not. It's just gross. And when you go to a place like this the only reason you go is to find some good food, not for the ambiance or the service. It was edible, the vegetables were fresh, but the end result was a poorly seasoned greasy mess. Many better options in the area. Also, to clarify their French fries are not fresh cut, they are pre frozen unsalted Krinkle. The guacamole was good, but far from impressive. Also, everything is super overpriced.

  • Rachel G.

    Their chimichangas are so good! I love their Horchata, too. I've been going here since I was in high school (2000-2004) and their food is still amazing! Everything is fresh - I've never had stale tortillas or sour meat. The veggies on the side are fresh and crisp. Some of their staff seem to speak Spanish exclusively, so the language barrier exists, but the food is worth the hassle.

    My new roomie and I had to feed our hungry tummies before heading to Ikea to empty our wallets on new furnishings. This place more than filled my hungry tummy. I didn't even eat dinner that night. I think maybe I ate a popsicle...or that could have been the night I drank whiskey for dinner... anyway.. El Burrito Loco's burritos are huge, the tacos are jammed with fillings, and the small guacamole looked like some kind of avocado explosion. It also tasted great. This is an excellent, affordable alternative to the chain places directly surrounding Ikea. PS- Free refills on horchata

  • Jenifer B.

    Good? Yes, it was delicious. Worth the price? No way. Five dollars for a baby burrito that, for two dollars more, I could go to Chipotle and get a way better, bigger burrito. Also, when they ask you if you want avocado and sour cream, they don't tell you that its because they charge $1.50 extra. The horchata is good, but really, its rice water, sugar, and cinnamon. I can't speak for other locations, but the staff was very slow at this one too, and they charged us for an extra burrito and had severe difficulty refunding it. Definitely not coming back here.

    We had dinner and movie plans with friends that live in Bolingbrook. We ultimately ended up running late so we opted for this place as a sit down dinner would make us late for our movie. The place was pretty crowded and most of the people were hispanic and as such I took this as a good sign. However, I think the crowds and good reviews are in part to the QUANTITY of food you get. For 20.00 my husband and I got two steak fajitas, two steak tacos, a steak torta, rice, fries, an order of corn plus two drinks. Not bad at all for the price, however I didn't care for the meal. The fajitas were VERY bland and somewhat dry. I added hot peppers, sour cream, taco sauce etc to try and pull some sort of flavor out of my meal and ultimately was unable to do so. It basically tatsed like slices of unseasoned pot roast on tortillas. The staff was friendly and service was quick however they very slyly attempt to nickel and dime you. When I ordered the two steak fajitas I was offered sour cream, guac, avacados, and tomatoes. Each one would have been an additional charge. Most likely adding another one to two dollars to the meal total. I would not come back even if in the area. Large portions and very budget friendly but also not very good.I imagine if one were out drunk and partying till 2am this would be some good eatin! But I personally found it pretty bad.

    i didnt know how to rate this place. some days they have great food other days it tastes like shit. litteraly. i ordered a burrito one day and it was great. the next day i ordered a burrito and 3 tacos and they tasted like shit. i don't think they are consistant enough in making good quality food. i am not mexican so i don't know what exactly goes into the making of mexican food but when you eat it almost three times a week you'll know when something's not right. and believe me something ain't right here. they need to get more consistant with their food. i mean how do fuck up a burrito??? really come on!! if i had to rate this place 1-5 (1 being bad and 5 being great) i think i would lean to 2 or 3.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
