    Beef tacos

    El Barrio II is Plainfield's best Mexican restaurant. Louisa is a sweetheart and makes the experience so friendly and kind. I prefer the chicken or beef but everyone I take here loves everything they get. 10/10 must try

    Al Pastor Burrito. Half of a junior portion. More than enough!

    Recently tried El Barrio II and was very pleasantly surprised. The Al pastor burrito is delicious. I've lived in Plainfield for two decades & never tried this place. It doesn't look like much from the exterior but the interior is cute and clean. The staff is polite and helpful, and the portions & prices are great. If you haven't tried it, definitely stop in soon.

    Found my new go to in Plainfield! The tacos were great. The Al Pastor was very very good, House made chips brought fresh to the table. Service was good, the decor on the inside is very nice. I love the chalkboard, the donkey prints, bar height seating by the window, no patio, carry out available and kid friendly.

    I am afraid to write this review for fear this "secret" gem will gain popularity. Yet - I have to write something about this place. The food here is absolutely delicious. My favorites are the breakfast burrito with chorizo and the Al pastor tacos. Everything I've had is tasty, but those are my go-tos. Their red sauce is awesome too. There is table service, but I wish they would just have folks order at the counter and deliver the food to the table. It might be more efficient for the small wait staff who get pulled in a lot of different directions.

    Recommend sampling various tacos (Chorizo, Al Pastor, Steak etc). Best with Traditional Style with soft corn cilantro & Onion. Good Value on Taco Tuesday specials as well. GF options available.

    I ordered to-go catering…read more... In this industry, and really in life in general, things are going to happen that are unexpected or unintentional... but it's how you react and respond to those things to rectify them that define you as a company. The restaurant's response of "we've been doing this for 13 years" certainly doesn't fix my dried out meat, browning lettuce and foamy, fermented salsa. Having worked as a catering manager, I am well aware of the markup percentages on food, so when they finally called me back to make a gesture towards the inedible food, I was again disappointed that you thought $50 on an almost $400 bill, was fair, especially considering AT LEAST 1/3 of each tray had to be thrown out! They use the most shallow pans I've ever seen (in the pic, it's the pan all the way to the right), they cut the steak into tiny pieces and don't put any sort of liquid in the pan so OF COURSE, it's going to get dried out sitting in a chafing dish! Bottom line to other potential consumers: I'd go somewhere else! The amount of food you get for the price you pay=terrible value of your money! Management DOES NOT stand behind their product and are extremely defensive when something negative is brought to their attention. They clearly do not care about the satisfaction of their customers.

    We have been here several times since they've opened. Each time gets worse. Tonight (cinco de Mayo)…read morewe ordered 3 orders of chicken wings and guacamole. 2 wing orders had 8 wings and one had 7. 2 wings were not even wings! They were round balls of fried breading with sauce! The guacamole is supposed to be "made to order". No way! I understand oxidation causes it to get brown but it should not be brown right when you receive the order 5 minutes after ordering it!! I make guacamole and I know how long it stays fresh. This was NOT fresh! It went right in the garbage.
