a plate of mexican food
Ted H.

My expectation of this place fell short leaving me an unfavorable taste in my mouth. The place appeared to be just like any other average Mexican restaurant. I ordered a burrito without beans, but still received them in my burrito and on my plate. They also drenched the burrito in tomato sauce, which was unexpected and disappointing. There are no refills and it was costly for the quality I received. Service was poor compared to average Mexican restaurant. You can expect the following: Pick up your own food, no free chips, and prices are not listed on the menu. The rice was meh. Some better local options would be Taco Bell, El Paraiso, or El Faro.

Not enough beans on the torta
Angela L.

Ordered 4 tortas and they were dry with no beans won't go back and when I called to ask if he forgot or is this standard he said next time ask for more beans. Torta clearly is supposed to have beans on it. Customer service sucks

Great owner and homemade Mexican food. I ordered a steak burrito, steak tacos (Asada), chicken quesadilla and chips/salsa. Price was $18 for all four items. Everything was made-to-order and warm when I got it home.

Love this place. Great for takeout and prices are very good too. I order from here at least twice a month and have been for about 5 years.

El Grande Burrito is a rather plain restaurant, but the food is excellent, the prices are right, and the staff is attentive. We'll be back!

Just opened last week so had to try it out since not many places offer good carnitas (only Al…read morepastor) around the area but these were very good. The tacos dinner with rice and beans was great! I ordered it with 2 carnitas and 1 barbacoa taco and the flavors on both were delicious. My BF ordered steak tacos (they forgot one but oh well... We went back later and got a pound of carnitas with tortillas and rice and beans to go and they gave us extra meat without us even letting them know, which was awesome!!!) And I thought the steak was pretty fatty and didn't have much flavor like the carnitas and other meats we tried. Also got the chicken in my third visit yesterday and the seasoning was really tasty imo. Great flavor on both types of salsa they give you to go as well. Tried the tacos both the traditional way (onion and cilantro) and with lettuce and tomato (plus cheese) and both are great - the onion is diced perfectly enough to melt into the meat when eating. My son LOVES the rice but it definitely tastes exactly how I make it at home, which is a good thing honestly because he likes mine too haha! Tried the cheese quesadilla and it was good... Could have been on the grill longer and had a bit more cheese on it but hey, it's a quesadilla and it's cheap lol Their homemade corn tortillas are perfection tho!! I saw them making them yesterday when I was waiting for my order and the woman in back was hand flipping them on the grill... Love it!! The service is very friendly and you can tell it's a family owned business, everyone worked efficiently. The prices are reasonable and it was actually even cheaper to get a family meal with the lb of carnitas and sides for all of us vs individual dinners which I love - unfortunately even tho we live super close, it didn't travel well and was somewhat cold and seemed a little dry by the time we got home to eat... Will have to try the mix of carnitas vs meat only next time to see if that helps. They kept the diner vibes inside the restaurant and it's very clean with cute little pig pictures all over the walls. I'm curious to see if they'll open and use the drive-thru in the future, which would be even better! Can't wait to see how they do. We'll probably use them for catering. Gave it a 4 vs 5 for flavor... Just needs to be kicked up a notch I think. But otherwise the carnitas that's in the name, they're definitely do the best with! So far so good.

carnitas in south elgin??? ive been wanting to try this spot called carnitas 3 hermanos in south…read moreelgin and fun fact this was spot used to be a beef villa , but the inside still looks the same, red and very spacious, and off their menu i ordered 3 different tacos, their barbacoa was actually very good, and of course i got their carnitas which was packed with a great mix of tender meat and the fatty pieces i enjoy but this was had to be my favorite, and my least favorite was the al pastor.but the horchata was actually on point,overall id come back to try their torta and burrito!
