    This cheap hole in the wall has a vegetarian menu! I thought it was so funny that on Good Friday they had a huge sign reading "LENT SPECIALS." The vegetarian menu is up year-round. Oh whatever, I still like you. The chile relleno is the best I've had in this area, and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE chile relleno. Yeah, it's greasy and probably isn't all that nutricious since the pepper and lettuce and tomatoes are drowning in cholesterol, but it's a nice treat. What I do not like about you, El Famous Burrito, is that there is a minimum purchase order of $6.00 to use a debit card. You made up that ridiculous rule. I work at a bank, I know debit cards work even if you buy something worth a penny. If I have cash, I will visit you. You aren't taking more of my money, jerks.

    Those nachos were something different. I'm used to navigating through a jungle of crispy corn chips, mounds of cheese, beans, guacamole, and rivers of sour cream and salsa. El Famous took it to a level that made my life a lot more orderly and my hands a lot less messy. They topped off each chip with the necessaries and left it up to me to "choose my own adventure" by supplying the sour cream, guac and salsa fixins' on the side! Next visit I will do what I should've done in the first place and try the el famous burrito.

    Ok. I just moved back to the Chicago-land area, and I'm now working on Downers Grove. So, I've been searching high and low for an awesome Mexican restaurant that will take me back to the ones in Indy (never thought I would say that). Well, EFB was close, my coworker and I dropped by for lunch. The place was shabby and can use a cleaning. You order at a counter with a very overwhelming menu that is not necessarily a good thing. I was hesitant when I saw that burgers/fries were also an option along with a combo of 2 tacos w/ a side order of fries! Regardless, I mustered the courage and ordered 2 tacos and 1 chicken quesadilla. The food was speedy, and it looked okay. I took a bite out of the chicken quesadilla and all I could taste was bland cheese! No flavor; not even the chihuahua cheese. Moving on to the 2 tacos, which were also bland as can be. There was barely any chicken, and I had to douse the red and green salsa to even get it down! Lastly, rice and beans....how can a Mexican restaurant mess up rice/beans right? Well, EFB managed the impossible! Refried beans had NO FLAVOR and the cheese was again not chihuahua! In addition, the rice has got to be from Rice-A-Roni or a minute rice cos it was hard and laked any flavor. The experience here was lacking, and I will not be returning. The food was horrible, but the people seem nice. By the way, the salsa is at the end of the counter kept in a tub/bucket.

    I reviewed this place before and I change my mind. I give it 4 stars this time, yeah there enchiladas were gross but I guess it just depends what you get. I've gone there a few times since my first review and their tacos are really good and so are their tortas. I recommend the steak, it seems to be the safest choice. This place is open really late which is awesome and a big reason why I will keep coming back.

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.
