The food was so amazing. My sister and I love coming here. Jose and Miguel were great! Super affordable.

I hadn't been to El Auténtico Jalisco in a long time, so I decided to try it again. It's a nice place. Looked at the menu on the wall. Sat down. Guy brought me a menu. Ordered a quesadilla and a drink. Another guy came around, looking like I was there to pick something up for Door Dash or something. I said, "The other guy already took my order." Not much response. He just left. The first guy came back with a bowl of limes, a Diet Coke and some sauces. He left. A third guy came by and dropped -- and I mean dropped -- my quesadilla and a plastic fork in front of me and left. That was the last I saw anyone. The quesadilla was fine, as far as it went. Would have been nice to get a knife. Still don't know what the limes were for. No chips and salsa like you'd usually expect. Finished eating, got up and paid. There are LOTS of really good Mexican restaurants in Aurora. I'll pick one of them next time. read more

We ordered take out and I decided to try something different from my typical Mexican order. I'd never had a sopes before so I don't have anything to compare it to but I tried the steak and chicken one and both were good but the steak one was the crowd favorite. The base was much thicker than I expected it to be! Two was plenty for one person. Honestly, I think I could have gotten away with just one. read more

Such good food and amazing service. Miguel and Jose were really sweet. The food was so good and affordable.

FOOD WAS AMAZING! I live in Chicago and can tell you that I think this place has better tacos then most places in Chicago I will definitely be back with family read more

Tacos really good. Rice and beans flavorless. This place when I walked in was all Hispanics and it was like everyone looked up when the gringo walked in. Ha! I don't care I'm here for the food! I grew up in CA and my best friend who lived across the street was Mexican. I only wish once the food was served the server would check back just once to see if anything is needed. read more

El Auténtico Jalisco - 2 Al Pastor and 2 Asada with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

We went on a Sunday...it was busy. I ordered 3 tacos dorados de pollo which were tepid, 2 tostadas de camaron it was served on 2 thin tostadas which made them soggy ( better brand of tostadas is El Milagros Caseras). The lemonade was too watered down, the Jamaica was good. Beans were too thick no flavor, rice was good. Prices were decent. It was comfortable to sit. We have to drive 35+ because where we drive from the mexican food is too Americanized. This establishment is authentic at its best. read more

What a perfect place for Taco Tuesday! First of all, great service. Our waiter was attentive and checked on us at a good pace. Second, the food was so good! This was my first time visiting and as a note, the tacos are individual taco orders and not like a set meal. So I ordered 2 Chicken Tacos Dorados, 1 Al Pastor Taco (I love Al Pastor), and a tamale. They were so good! I ate them quick because I couldn't get enough of a bite. Squeezed some lime over them, used both of the salsas they offered, and went to town on my food. I wish I didn't eat lunch because I really wanted more! Most importantly, the prices are very affordable! Great prices, great food, great service? And if you have time to, they also offer drinks. Next time, I'm definitely ordering more food and a margarita or two! read more

Is very gratifying when a restaurant is how you expected to be Food.- have gone back several times with my crew we ordered very different dishes all the time We are multicultural and we all really enjoyed the food Ambience.- depending on the time you go can be very crowded but thats good this place is Service is great food comes out on a very respectful time read more

Here is yet another one of these Aurora cantinas. It seems like these are a dime a dozen. Jalisco Tacos Autentico is certainly authentic though. Find some seriously straight from Mexico style food here. They got a lot of exotic meats but not a whole lot for vegetarians. Always margaritas are a good choice here. It's $8 for most. They have the common flavors like lime and a few other fruits like mango and pineapple. Know these are a bit saltier than usual Mexican American places because these are authentic. The vegetarian options are lacking but among these I like the Avocado Tostada. It's $7 for a pretty small ass one. This has avocados, beans, jalapeños, lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes. Leave anything off if you like. The avocado and beans are good though. Good representation of authentic Mexican. It would be a lot better with improved service especially when getting checks and trying to get out. They also could use more things for vegetarians. read more

I'm so disappointed of this place, food was not as I expected, menudo was way toó salty, service did not even meet half of what it was supposed to be, and ambiance! What ambiance? I look like if I were in a cemetery, I keep saying this to business owners that if service is not implemented well it will kill your business. Good luck read more

We eat here all the time. The food is very consistent and flavorful. The problems we run into is the checkout. They make you pay at the front and you have to wait in an extremely long line where people are ordering, getting takeout and other are waiting to pay. This should be streamlined when customers are trying to leave. Otherwise the food is great here, just hate to wait 5-10 mins to checkout. Last time we waited over 10 mins and then the credit machine was down and force to pay in cash. Luckily I had some on me which I usually never do. read more

Friendly staffing. Always busy! I had order tacos of tripe and both times I have said well done/crispy and the tripes were soggy and not well done. Very disappointing as I was craving well done tacos. The store is really clean and organized that would be my only positive feed back. The person who takes in the order should communicate to cook the customer request, if not written down on the ticket. read more

Came in on a Saturday morning. I'm not sure what took so long because the restaurant was empty and all my food was cold.

My all time favorite authentic taco restaurant. I always bring guests from out of town here and they always rage and miss their food. The service is good but don't expect too much when it is crazy busy. You seat yourself, they take your order and serve you. My families order is always the usual: hard shell taco with shredded beef, al pastor tacos w/ a side of rice and beans, guac and chips, and always an horchata! The staff is always so nice and friendly. Would highly rec this place! read more

Really really good tacos!! Both the cabeza and tacos dorados are out of this world good. Will not disappoint.

I love coming here with my family. The food is always phenomenal. My favorite thing to order is the steak torta. Oh my god this dish is just phenomenal. I've tried tortas at a lot of different places, but they never will compare to here. The bread is extra crispy and everything is perfected to my liking. The service is fast and the workers are very nice and accommodating. Overall very homey ambiance and the food is traditional as well as the environment adds to it. Must try you need to experience this deliciousness. We order a lot of things but this is my number one favorite go to. read more

Usually it is a wonderful experience but not tonight. I was so disappointed because I ordered fajitas and the food came immediately but the flour tortillas took forever! What Mexican restaurant doesn't have tortillas available for 10+ minutes? By the time the tortillas came, my food was cold! It also took too much time to get my 2nd Coke. Again, this is not normal but it made a dinner date awful. read more

Food always great. Get what you order and well made. Tacos were toasted with plenty of ingredient's. Now the customer service is another thing. Good thing we always order to go. This time I'm at register waiting to be acknowledge but the cashier but says that he is helping someone else. And asked 3 ppl behind him to help. They were all on phones getting the latest news on the weather im sure and waiting until they were ready. My bag sitting there waiting this whole time. Sad. Just need to work on service. read more

No flavor to the steak taco. It's just bland. Was looking for a new authentic Mexican spot and this was not by far the best

Food is so good. Nice seating inside the restaurant. Extremely affordable and extremely Fast service. 13/10 would recommend.

The burritos are amazing. Lots of beef definitely will be back to try more food. Very friendly cashier. Very helpfulBarbacoa Burrito

looking for a place to grab some take out on the way to a meeting. We really wanted al pastor there were some other places nearby that had real Pastor on the spit but my sister in law recommended that we stop here. Inside is fairly large, they have quite a few tables. We ordered a al pastor taco dinner for my wife and I had a large pastor burrito. First off, their salsa verde was very good, I love green salsa. The Buretto was large (as ordered) with a good amount of filling, it lacked a bit of texture but had excellent flavor. The pastor was on the saucy side and even though it was more like braised it was very good. I would come back and try some other things, they have a good sized menu with everything you would expect. read more

We eat here all the time. Love the food and service. Authenticity reigns. They have both small tables and booths and large tables for families. We have never had a bad meal! read more

They got hard shell tacos (tacos dorados)! Taco prices start at $1.50 and the specialty and hard tacos are $1.82. I came here because they don't have any food next door at DQ. I mainly wanted to try their lengua/tongue taco and it was ok, not much flavor. The hard shell tacos were decent. Prices here are pretty affordable: Torta $4.50 Burrito $3.50 sm/ $6 lg Tostada $3 Gorditas $3.50 Horchata $1.50 There's plenty of seating inside. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

We like coming here when we're on our way to the casino. Their food is good, fresh and tasty. It's typical Mexican fare. They do have a couple of specialties and we have asked for them. The tacos dorados are ok. Can't really complain. Super cheap and decent. There is a private parking lot and really close to the casino. Fits our needs. Will continue coming here. read more

This place has been our go-to for reasonably priced, authentic, Mexican food for years. Food and service is always outstanding.

Finally made it ! As I read in other reviews the chips and salsa is not free . Good news it's 1.65$ and its better than most joints . Tacos Dorados were very good ,2$ . It's a deep fried shell that is fresh and tasty especially when your burned out on flour and corn . If your a freak about grease , it comes with a little. You can only choose chicken or shredded beef on your dorado. I recommend the chicken it was damn good . Hey they serve a margaritas with a beer nose down in it , cost lrg 12$ small 7$ Pina colada for 5$ . bottle beer from Mexico 4$ . Domestic 3 $ , mojito 5$ . Burria ( Goat) soup on weekends 9$ . Clean , reasonable , nice place in Aurora. read more

Sorry to say did not go well. Food came out dripping oil, but far worse ordered burrito without sour cream. Came out with lots of it throughout. Also ordered it with avocado on it, but none on it either time. They remade without sour cream but did not put avocado on it. No break on price either of burrito even, group of 6. Not satisfied with service read more

I am not the type to complain or leave bad reviews, but the fact that we sat down and waited over 30 minutes there and never got served yet watched other people come in and get served is ridiculous to me. Never coming here again. read more
