We stopped in at around 5:30 on a Thursday. The dining area was nearly empty, but the drive-through window was doing a brisk business. We got a veggie burrito with Mexican potatoes and guacamole, a chile relleno taco, a medium horchata and an order of carrots and jalapeños. We loved every item we ordered. The horchata was one of the best we've had. The red salsa was not that interesting, but the green was pretty good. We don't often get out to Bourbonnais, but since this is one of a chain of local restaurants, we'll keep an eye out for something closer.

Good food but the woman that takes your order should learn how to greet customers. She didn't say hi, thank you or even goodbye. Obviously not an owner.

El Burrito Loco quickly became a fave for me when I realized that Denny's and IHOP were no longer the only restaurants open late. El Burrito Loco could run circles around those places AND they are open till 1 or 2 on the weekends. Through the years, I've had a little of this and a little of that. My faves include the chicken fajita quesadillas, the steak torta and the verde enchiladas. My Mexican friend recently corrected me when she found out I was going in to Mexican restaurants and ordering "the green enchiladas." That's why I can be correct in calling them verde in my review. (Thank you Ruby.) Their verde is sooooo good. In fact, this might be slightly embarrassing to admit, but when I go there, I ask for extra salsa verde and save them up in my fridge. Then when I get enough, I make my own enchiladas. It's not that I'm poor-- cause the stuff is cheap at the grocery store--it's that I haven't found any that has the right amount of spice and taste as theirs. The food is all made to order so it's always piping hot. You can dine in for the nights you're coming straight from the bar or pass through the drive thru on the way home from work. The service is always passable but I would venture to call it 'good.' Whoever owns this chain must be some kind of Mexican fast-food god because I've also eaten at the one in BBrook and it was just as tasty as the location that I first fell in love with.

One star for being open damn near 24/7. Another star for pico instead of salsa. Third star for having a chicken breast option for everything. Fourth star for speed. Fifth star for good prices. Minus a star for mopping with pine sol when I was eating. Minus a star for waitress' name tattooed on her own boob.

Great food considering you get it through a drive thru. Nachos Loco, burrito dinners. It's all good. This is where I first noticed a disturbing trend. No Coke only Pepsi. Historically, it was either a coke, margarita or beer with Mexican food. I need to know why this has changed. Why? WHY?

I used to eat a lot at the location in Bolingbrook, so when I saw El Burrito Loco open locally I was happy. And I'm not disappointed. It's good, especially for the price. Everything is cooked fresh and the food is tasty. Call it above average fast casual Mexican. If you need a good, cheap and filling meal in town, this is definitely a place to consider.

I am visiting from Los Angeles and I must say. This is some of the best Mexican food I have had. It ranks #2 to anything in Los Angeles. If you are in the area and have a chance to go. Don't miss this place.

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.
