Avoid this restaurant around lunchtime any weekday. Half hour wait not uncommon. Be advised.

Awesome service, surprisingly good burger and great tacos. Always clean. I highly recommend

Yum, yum, YUM! I got the steak taco salad and not only was it delicious, but it was packed with steak! The meat was tasty, and the combination of toppings with the lettuce was fabulous. The young lady at the register was super friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean and orderly. Will definitely be back soon. read more

If you like your steak swimming in grease order the steak asada dinner. Rice was ok and beans....well beans are beans read more

El Famous Burrito - Mexican Carne Asada Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

Recently came here to grab a small meal after a long day at work. I've never been to this location but I wanted a place to try out. This place had a great selection of Mexican food but the one thing I found a bit odd unlike most Mexicans places was that there was no chips and salsa if you planned on dining in. I got the two - taco dinner and it was really good. Who came out really fast and the presentation was very nice. Overall, I thought it was an average Mexican restaurant read more

Tried them again, screwed up a simple one burrito order and only two customers. Said never again last time but really wanted give them a chance. What a mistake:( read more

Love El Famous Burrito. Very friendly people and very good food. Always a crowd pleaser.

Very good service, the food is very good! It's fresh and made just right, and the owners are great! Super friendly and keep the place immaculate. Will be back soon. read more

I was honestly surprised by the low rating because the food tasted way fresher than most Mexican spots I've tried. Everything tasted homemade and not like it had been sitting around. The flavors were really good and the ingredients tasted fresh. Definitely worth trying for yourself. Also the workers are super kind and it's very clean. read more

The food is delicious, had a beef burrito is to die for, also the service is very kind and listens to what your requests on the order. And it is very comfortable environment with good lighting and good music too. Would definitely would come back here again. read more

The food has excellent flavor. That's more important for me. Quality over quantity. The new family owners are super nice. I tried Xxxxxx taco's and tamales last week and though the size of both were huge, they had zero flavor. I ordered two of each and was trying to give the other half away. I won't do that again because I'm staying with the cuisine I look forward to. Especially on Tuesdays when taco's are at a discount. read more

Food was great, would recommend the steak tacos and had the best chips! Excellent customer service. Highly recommend for some solid mexican food. read more

We ordered steak burritos and the meat did not taste like steak. I also have never been to a burrito joint and my food too less than 5 minutes to be prepared. I won't be going back. read more

El Famous Burrito - This is my review - Mexican Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

"Steak" burrito wasn't steak and tasted awful. About a third of the size that they used to be, it was terrible. I thought my order was wrong since I thought I ordered a regular burrito. But I did get a random taco which wasn't the one I ordered. Extremely disappointing. read more

Food tastes okay. Service was nice. The place is clean. The value is awful as there are definitely better tasting places available that provide better taste and portions. Will not be back. read more

$12 for a "regular" burrito which is literally so small it's pathetic and makes you think you got the wrong order when you see it! I felt completely ripped off and disappointed. The steak isn't that good and there's hardly any steak in the burrito, mostly just bean! Total rip off. I will never come back. This place really went down the tubes! read more

Highly recommend the steak tacos! Not only great food but great customer service and friendly atmosphere. The new owners have really turned this place around and I can't wait to come back and try more!! I hear the nachos and loaded fries are killer read more

Great taco spot! Everything we ordered was so good and the service was amazing. These chips are the BEST. Will definitely be back. read more

The service and food were great! It was quick and tasty! Nice variety of options and everything was wonderful. Had tacos, quesadilla and chips and salsa. read more

Amazing Pastor Burrito! They do it different at this one! Much better than other locations!

Just terrible! Food is awful. No taste. Overpriced. They need a friendly face cashiering and some flavor. Last time I'm going here. Guy working there looks like he hates everything. Smile dude read more

Wonderful food. Orders were accurate. Ordered here at least once a week, without inaccurate order. Food is very tasty. I ordered pork JR. Burrito, Tacos, Taco bowl and many others. I over order so that I can have these tasty treats the next morning. Highly recommended. Enjoy. read more

The new management that took over had greatly improved the service, food, and look of the place! I could not have eaten the food quicker if I tried. The tacos were delicious and the service was amazing. I'm definitely coming here again! read more

We don't know what they've done here?! The food used to be so good. Now it's just bland and super salty. $40 dollars for a taco dinner and two burritos? No thank you! Also the big guy on the register needs to brush up on his customer service. He's not a friendly man. read more

Always great food, best chips in the history of chips and salsa. Very friendly and fast service. Prices are better than most other local burrito places. I especially like that they offer a small burrito option because the regular one, which is perfect for me, is too big for Mrs. Clown. Check it out! read more

Wasn't impressed. We used to go here regularly about 15-20 years ago and it was really good. Just went there recently for the first time in a long time for takeout. It was awful. Their al pastor was the worst I've ever had and the nachos we got barely had any cheese on them and were stacked on top of each other taking the cheese that was already basically non existent in the first place off the bottom nacho when you picked up the one on top. Maybe if they had put a layer of aluminum foil in between the layers it would've save the cheese from coming off. very poor packaging for takeout orders. They could care less. with all the Mexican joints in the area. We will definitely never be going back. read more

I am used to the El Famous Burrito in Elmhurst which blows this place out of the water. The burritos are lack luster and filled with everything but meat. The food is moderately priced but the man operating the register spends half his time talking with co workers and the other half of the time rushing to get orders done incorrectly. read more

Usually don't leave reviews but just wanna warn people so they don't get what I got. Got 2 tacos a churro and rice. Food was actually pretty good. Not amazing but it was good. Later that night though I think I either got food poisoning or I picked something up. Either way it sucked and most of the food I was yakking was from here. Can't really say it was definitely from the food but it had a part. read more

The Burrito bowl that my fiancé brought home was not really appetizing , I cannot even see beans and lettuce on the bowl and it's half empty , not even worth for the price , the Lengua is okay but omg nothing to eat and won't even fill me in . I told him never ever bring me food from this place again ! He rather spend his money going to chipotle ! No way I'm coming this resto at all ! read more

Good size potions. Burritos are huge. Chicken tacos with flour soft shells are good. Guacamole was a bit thin & probably too much citrus juice added, so it was runny. Chips were way too greasy, to the point of being super shiny. Hot sauce is HOT! Loved it. Authentic Mexican atmosphere. read more

BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT AROUND. I've been all over in the area and this one's honestly the best. I regularly come in and get steak fajita burritos with my boyfriend and they're always amazing. The girl that works at the counter and always answers the phone has above and beyond customer service skills; she brings u the food to the table and makes sure you have everything you need. (Keep in mind this isn't like a sit down restaurant so she definitely doesn't have to do that) so I think overall it's great for me. read more

Another wonderful shared small meal. Steak loaded nachos, chips and guacamole, and a shared steak burrito. Phone ordered, pickup, take home and eat. Two people $26. Fresh, tasty and a great price. read more

This was my first time here and my daughter ordered a quesadilla and she was told it was a large one. When I brought it home it didn't look like a quesadilla. When I called they told me that it was what I ordered. My daughter went to get her money back and they hand it to her and asked her to leave. Very unprofessional. I will not be back. read more

Still the best steak tacos around. Every burrito place has its tops. This one steak is great. The Fajita burrito is muy bueno. The chicken torta is also excellent. It's old style delicious. Make sure you ask for the peppers/ carrots and the salsa verde I don't know other things here but these are as good as it gets. read more
