Perhaps I'm sentimental (I grabbed food from here the day I moved into the neighborhood) but I think this is a solid, if unoriginal Mexican joint--and I've never even been here drunk! It's a great place if you're on a budget (a small chimichanga will cost you under $2) and the steak they use in their tacos and burritos is actually flavorful. I am also a fan of the cheesy nachos (totally unspicey, processed cheese but in a good way if that makes sense.) The staff is extremely courteous and helpful and judging from the long lines at dinnertime and large number of Hispanics that frequent the place, I'm not the only one who feels this way. One tip: Don't park in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot. They are NOT messing around when they say they'll tow. read more

I used to live about a block and a half away from Burrito House and frequented it quite a bit. It was the best food for after a long night of drinking. I would usually go with the beef burrito and guac and chips. I LOVED their guac. Yum. Now that I've moved away there are a ton of Mexican restaurants around my house, but none compare to Burrito House. read more

Huge burritos and excellent tortas and guacamole. This place keeps getting better each time I've visited. A couple of their items I didn't care for, but like I said they are improving. The inside is decorated in a traditional Mexican style. read more

Burrito House - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Simply great food and very friendly staff. They have good vegetarian options, too! Like the Avocado Torta. The late night hours are convenient! read more

This is my go to Mexican spot in the city. Their burritos are awesome, but I honestly gravitate towards their tacos and tortas. I don't know why. I love burritos otherwise, and it's nothing against their burritos, because they are fantastic. Oh yeah! Good fish tacos, even though I get them rarely. They got burgers and fries there. Always made me wonder why people go to a burrito joint for a burger and fries. I'm not one to judge, but still... makes ya wonder, you know? read more

For fast Mexican food, this place is really good. It's a lot better (and cleaner) than King Burrito on Addison and Western.

Food is consistent, of good quality , and reasonable price. The hours make this place that much better. The cheeseburgers get a bad rep, but I dig em with cheese fries. After all, it IS buritto house, not cheeseburger house. read more

I have been stopping in to Burrito House for the past 6 months with regular frequency. It's exactly what it should be. Whether it's for a quick lunch or a late night bite, Burrito House met all of my requirements. It's generally quick (but does get busy around lunch time). It's tasty (I usually go for the burritos or tacos of any flavor). It's reasonably priced (5-6 bucks for a beastly burrito). Temper your expectations and enjoy a decent Mexican meal. read more

This is a standard Chicago burrito/taco place. I have been here after bars and on a hungover morning. Both were pretty good. The prices are pretty good and food is made pretty quickly. Although I once had to wait a long time at night to order. I have had quesadillas and a burrito--both were pretty decent. My biggest complaint is that their salsa served with chips is TERRIBLE! I cannot believe that they served it to me. Gross. Pay the extra few bucks and spring for some guacamole with your chips. read more

A great late-night stop off. The nachos are fantastic, and pretty authentic. Don't ask me what the food tastes like sober, because I wouldn't know. Not to mention, I don't think I'll be finding that out anytime soon, either. read more

Great place to go for late night munchies - my friend swears by their burritos as the perfect drunken food and I go by their tortas or nachos. read more

Not the best burrito stand I've been to, but certainly not awful. There are no frills here, but the place doesn't need any. It's cheap, quick Mexican food. If you like spicy, try the red sauce. I'm not sure what it is, but it's hot and it's pretty good. If you prefer tangy, go with the green sauce. Also a mystery, also good. Or you can just get creative and dump generous amounts of both sauces onto your taco or burrito. The chicken is good sans sauce though - it's already pretty well spiced. read more

Heeeeeya Burrito House! Have you met Allende on Lincoln? They have the fastest service EVER after the bars close. It's impressive actually...you could learn a thing or two from them! Oy! In their defense, though, the people in here last night seemed a little more obnoxious than usual. Then again....I was sober, so drunk people just seem all types of insane then. We waited a LONG time to place our order and for our food. Like, probably 30 minutes total. (At 4am, this seems like an eternity!). When they FINALLY called our numbers, I basically devoured my 2 chicken quesadillas. They were GOOD, yo! Piping hot, nicely flavored chicken, cheese, sauce. Definitely worth the wait. read more

This is a great after-bar place to eat. The food is your traditional late-night drunk food. But it tastes fairly authentic, as opposed to just soakes in grease and over-processed meats. My favorite is the tacos cuz they're cheap ($1.75) and filled with so much stuff you can fold the soft taco around it. The food is very filling and cheap. I have had it sober, but it's definetly better for post-drinking then passing out nice and full! read more

I swear to whoever, this place would be delicious sober. I just know it would be! Coming back form $1 PBRs at Goldies and like, how can you not stop when it's just right on your way home? They have the BEST chicken nachos, and the greasiest, most delicious chorizo quesadillas (and chorizo-everything, I'm sure). Like, grease to the outside of the carrying bag. Whatever, the nachos were off the hook. We literally inhaled them and then wanted more. Next time, a thing of nachos for each person. Burrito House 4 lyfe. read more

I don't crave any food the way I crave Burrito House tacos. The horchata is good too. I have been coming here for years, at all hours of the day and night . This is a causal place, and perfect for takeout. I really like the staff too - fast and friendly! read more

This Burrito House is in my 'hood (!), so this is a go-to spot for that late night munchie. It's just a street away from the Addison Brown line stop, so it's really convenient if you are traveling over on the el. To be specific, it's adjacent to Dunkin Donuts on Lincoln Ave. The burritos come in two sizes: king or junior. I normally get a king size chorizo burrito for $5.20 (minus tax). I believe the junior is $3.65 - depending on what type of meat or if you are ordering a vegetarian option. It's pretty cheap for the size you get. I feel like I gain 3 lbs after one king size burrito! When you order on the phone, make sure you order from the right location. There is a Burrito House further west on Addison. This confusion happened to my boyfriend before and he had to go out of his way to THAT Burrito House instead. read more

Its open late, so stars right there. I didn't see this famous bathroom art, unless the other reviewers werre referring to the door handle in the restroom, which was indeed ornate. But the restroom was clean, which I've been taught is a good indicator of restaurant cleanliness. Friendly staff. It's not McDonald's fast, but I thought it was fast enough. They have lots of options on the menu, both types of food and fillings. They have junior burritos, which is perfect for a small meal, and you're not stuck with a messy leftover half of a burrito manage, so that's excellent. The California burrito was what I'm used to, with rice, beans, steak and onions. Most of the other burritos didn't include rice or beans. The tortillas were grilled and nice and crispy on the outside. There's a nice big seating space, and it's a comfortable late-night beacon on Lincoln. read more

For the price, this place is great for Mexican food. I have mainly had the ground beef burrito and it is always good. Staff is friendly. There is a fairly large dining area (counter service so no wait staff), but I usually do take out as I live nearby. read more

I love this place! I walk over for lunch near my office a couple times a month. The tacos are so full of great stuff that I have to eat some of the filling with a fork before I can fold it and pick it up to eat! Such flavors! YUM! At lunch time there may be 5 or 6 people in line ahead of me, but it is definitely worth the wait! I also love that the owner calls me "Mi Amiga" when I pick up my order! read more

Es importante escuchame. Tu necesitas los Tacos al Pastor. Today, the "Ceviche" Tostada on special was also delicious. It was no real ceviche but points for creativity! read more

I had a small chicken burrito in the place a few weeks back and it was delicious. Tonight my wife and i called in take-out and ordered a small Chorizo burrito dinner and a small chicken burrito dinner. The guy hung up before we could give our name, oh but not before he said 10 minutes.. We knew that was a bad sign. We drove over together and she went in to retrieve the order. First, there is no separate line to pay for customers that called in for take-out. She had to wait about 10 minutes in the line. Second, we arrived home and the burritos had zero lettuce, zero tomatoes, zero hot sauce and very little meat. Both burritos were basically sour cream with a small amount of refried beans and an occasional tiny bite of meat. They were a ball of slop that we were unable to hold together. I would not recommend this place for take out and for any type of customer service. Although the person that rings the register is nice enough, clearly he and the people that prep the food do not have an eye for detail. For the 2 meals we paid $21.00 and we ended up dumping most of the food. I would not recommend this place and we will definitely go to our favorite Mexican Joint in our hood for the delicious Mexican food, great service and awesome margaritas. No more corner cutting for our family when we need our Mexican Food Fix! read more

I came here stone cold sober two or three times before I found out that customers in my mental state accounted for no more than 3-4% of Burrito House's total revenues. This is a late night Mexican joint. When you roll in here after a night out, it has all the atmosphere of a titless strip club. There is a huge, mostly male crowd of inebriates who've forgotten what they've ordered. They're yelling at the guys behind the counter, who in turn are forgetting/overcooking/mixing up other orders. It's a vicious cycle. The food isn't anything special, maybe a notch above Taco Bell. There aren't many late night options in this neighborhood, though, so BH continues to thrive. read more

As a couple of the previous reviews said, don't come here sober. The quality of the food here is worse than that of Taco Bell, but somehow it tastes heavenly after a night of drinking. None of the people that work here know English, so having passing knowledge of Spanish (or having a friend that does) helps. Oh, and if you do eat here after a night of drinking, be prepared to spend the first couple hours of the next morning in the bathroom. Just sayin'... read more

When you've just got to have... a big A burrito, something fried / cheesy / saucy / spicy / gooey / crunchy - any or all of those - the Burrito House is there for you. On my most recent visit, I needed something a. cheesy, b. fried, c. with refried beans, d. ASAP. The good old Burrito House came through for me big time. To satisfy all of my food cravings, I went with the chicken chimichanga dinner - a good size chimi with a lot of cheese inside it, salad garnish with guac, beans and rice. For a quick in-and-out type of place, this was pretty good! I devoured about half of it, and saved the rest for later. This place does a lot of to-go orders, but there's a decent / large seating area in the back. (I live close enough to this place, but I had to have the food *immediately*, so we ate there.) On a previous visit, I tried the chicken burrito with a saucy / shredded chicken mix, and also enjoyed that. I shall return, Burrito House. read more

There are a lot of Mexican restaurants that are open late in the Chicagoland area but this stands as one of my favorites. Normally, you find yourself in these places late night but this is one that is good during the day as well. There are two items on this menu that most people won't order but I highly recommend; the chile relleno and lengua taco. The chile relleno is a poblano pepper stuffed with cheese and then breaded and deep fried. The chile relleno at Burrito House is unique because it is topped with sauce. If you are adventurous, try to the lengua tacos. If you don't recognize the name, it's cow tongue. I have had this several times at other places but Burrito House has the best lengua. It's tender and has really good flavor similar to slow roasted pork. Burrito House does more than satisfy late night cravings. Next time, ask for Samuel and say what's up. read more

I bring my out of town friends here for late night eats after boozing all night. The guys behind the counter are always really friendly, even when you're a complete disaster. The food is pretty standard for a late night, post-bar burrito joint. I usually go with the Jr. chicken burrito or the cheese quesadilla- and you should note that you get 2 quesadillas when you order plain cheese but only get one when you order it with meat. The rice and beans that they serve on the side of dishes are not so good, so I usually stay away from the meal options. I love their horchata, but no free refills. Boo. read more

We came here Halloween night around midnight and it was extremely busy. This could be one of two things. This is good Mexican restaurant or this is the only place offering food for drunk people at this hour. I lived in Humboldt Park for about a year and a half and lived with a roommate who loved Mexican food fourth meal. I do not. Call me lame or whatever else you want. I prefer pizza or a burger and fries as my intoxicated choice of food. I've been to Los Comales and Arturo's and my roommate finds these places to be of high quality. I don't know if it's the tortas lenguas or what but the food never quite hits the spot. Even though I don't enjoy the food I can appreciate it for what it is. Anyway on to my review for Burrito House. I got the chicken burrito and it tasted like every other chicken burrito that I have had at any other authentic Mexican restaurant in the city. Based on this I am going to say that this place was good. Not good for me but good if this is what you like. read more

Wow. You know a late night Mexican place is good when you get there after last call, stay until closing, and there's a line the entire time. The food itself wasn't exactly haute couture cuisine, but when you're drunk, it's 4 am, and you want a fajita burrito for 3 dollars, you can't go wrong with the burrito house. The nachos as well were almost too much food; I'm fairly certain we couldn't finish them all. Surprisingly though, we ran out of chips long before we ran out of toppings, which is the sign of some truly glorious nachos. And they even take cards, unlike most 4 am post-bar eateries, so you can save up the remnants of your cash for the cab ride home. My only complaint is that their "spicy" really wasn't, but I've come to terms with getting two out of spicy, cheap, and tasty pretty much anywhere this far north. It's still arguably the best post-barfood in the area. read more

A little update for you. Javier has returned to Burrito House (though I have yet to see him with my own eyes). Also, I now order the nachos without meat, but WITH guacamole and peppers. I'm broadening my horizons. And thirdly, but certainly not least, I found out that this place is owned by the uncle of a dear friend of mine. Nothing like showing some love for the fam. read more

YUMYUMYUM!!!! Went here after late night drinking and got the following. 1 steak taco - pretty big and def. tasty 2 steak tostadas - my hubby was impressed that they made the tostadas curl at the sides, so nothing falls out! He usually curses under his breath as the meat, lettuce and tomatoes fall out - but he was so happy everything stayed intact Side of rice and beans - SOOOO incredibly good. We doused everything with the green sauce and used a 1/4 of the bottle. Spicy and delish, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it again :) Everything looked good, got to get the Jr. burrito as it looks perfectly pan fried as well. read more

Delicious, affordable, reliable Mexican spot with burritos that will knock your socks off. The rice and beans don't hurt either. I'm a big fan of the atmosphere here where anything goes and come as you are. read more

Five Stars for a Burrito House?! YES... when you go in there stone sober and still love it?! It means it's a great place! I usually go for the Jr. Veggie Burrito plate (they even put extra avocado in for me) and my BF goes for the hamburger & cheese fries... and we're both always happy. On another note, they remember their regulars. :) Some new guys started heckling me and one of my roomies - and the guys from behind the counter yelled at them to hush it! It was kinda stellar (as we usually just handle any situations ourselves)! I love this place - and I definitely heart the guys that work there big time. I'll still be frequenting even though I don't live across the street anymore! read more

I staggered into this place one night, and ordered a burrito. It was good, the service was quick and friendly. And, I'll have to go back when I remember more. On the plus side, it was the only place open at that hour, which is another plus. So, if you're near the Addison Brown line stop, and get a craving for some good quick food, try it out. I plan to go again when I am capable of remembering more. read more

This is the perfect late night rendezvous... my girlfriend hates when I go here, but she always enjoys the food. Be prepared for a shit show of drunks and a 10-15 minute wait if you arrive between 1:45am and 3am. They are open til 4 (5 on Saturdays). I've been going to this place for years - I enjoy the banter with the boys behind the counter. Last year for Christmas - they gave me a Late Night at the Burrito House Tshirt ala Dave Letterman. I must be a preferred customer. I'm picky about my burritos - I like it gringo style and they never screw it up. Super King' Steak Burrito is the way to go slathered in the red hot sauce...mmmmmmm Also, the beef nachos can feed 3 people. They would have 5 stars, but I don't enjoy this place as much when I'm sober and I hate waiting in line. Don't park in Dunkin Donuts next door unless you want to be booted or towed. read more

you know what? I'm just going to go ahead and say it - I love their fucking steak tostados. Horchata is nice and sweet too. That's my order pretty much every time. And it's even good when you aren't drunk. read more

Out of the Thousands of Taco Burrito house 1,2,and 3, and every late night spot in my area, this would be one of my top picks! Consistency Consistency Consistency Consistency That all that I ask for out of my top Taco Burrito spot, and Burrito House come through every time. I want the same tasting food, that I fell in love with the first time back in the mid 90's. I literally drive by 3 other Tacos spots, which are closer to my pad, just to get the consistent Tacos, Burritos, Nacho's, and Torta intake. Definitely one of my top 5 late night taco spot's. Green sauce over Red sauce. read more

First time here. Came about 3:45am on a Saturday. Has the Chicken Taco Special (3 tacos for $5.95 plus tax). These guys only speak Espanol...which is Great! But they understand English! Only took him 5 mins to cook the tacos and boy....they were just perfect! Meat was tender and tasty! Ambience is not that great but...food was a hit! read more

If you just want a quick bite, this definitely hits the spot. I've pretty much have had most of the items on the menu. They make the best tostadas. My favorite is the avocado tostadas. The place has plenty of seating. Very friendly staff. And reasonably priced. Will keep going back. read more

Authentic it is not. Fancy? Not at all. Convenient? Indeed. The BH staff is friendly and the items are cooked to order. Most of the dudes behind the counter already know me - they know how I roll. I've been known to wax philosophical about my distaste for "gringo style" Mexican food. BH always delivers. FTR: Their greedy refill policy doesn't really bother me because I'm a Crest kid. I don't put that high-fructose corn syrup shit in my mouth (can I say shit on here?) read more
