Juquilita Tacos - Mario Especial Burrito with a side of rice and beans (tossed some salsa on the beans) - Mexican Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

Found this little hole in the wall on Christmas Eve because the place we planned on going to was closed for the holiday. Sometimes things are just meant to be! The parking looks awful until you spy the public lot just one storefront away. The interior is simple, which I prefer. Some cute knickknacks but not too much. The menu is the traditional Mexican fare, tacos, burritos, fajitas, plates, etc. Everyone should be able to find something to please them. The waitress was so sweet and helpful. They were doing a lot of take out orders and had my party and another couple dining in. She did great making sure we all had what we needed. We all started talking to one another so felt like dinner with a bunch of friends. My friends had the steak tacos and the Americano plate. Both really liked their items. The tacos were well filled and the meat tender and juicy. The plate had lots of steak on it as well as rice, beans, tortillas, etc. The sauce was a tad spicy but not overpowering for my non-spice liking friend. The star of the night was the Crazy Burrito. Massive burrito filled with shrimp, steak, fries, rice, guac and more. And when I say massive, I mean MASSIVE. Everything inside somehow all went together incredibly well. But each bite was different depending on what the ratio of the items was. Probably 1 of the top 3 burritos I've ever had. The steak, meat and shrimp were all perfectly cooked. Will definitely go back next time in Chicago. read more

Juquilita Tacos - Crazy Burrito - Mexican Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

A hole in the wall joint with great food! Service was great, good music and delicious food. We had the sopes, burritos, guacamole, shrimp tacos and tripa tacos. Everything was delicious! Will definitely come back. My daughter who barely eats one taco, had 3 of the shrimp tacos. Highly recommend it. read more

Still the best steak burrito in the area!! I've been ordering since they opened and they never disappoint!!

Very disappointing getting what tasted like 2 day old meat. I'd be willing to give this place another try if it were free.

Incredibly good authentic tacos and Mexican food. Just tried some tonight and to put it simply.... They were delicious! I got the barbacoa tacos along with chips and salsa and I'm essentially speechless. They were fantastic. The tacos were juicy and tasteful. The salsa for the chips had a good flavor as well. It had a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy. They do have a super spicy red sauce that comes in a small container with your food, that sauce is very good but very hot. I think this will be my new taco spot whenever I have a craving. The food is incredible (at least the tacos are). You can't go wrong! read more

Juquilita Tacos - Barbacoa Tacos!!! - Mexican Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

The best chillaquilles in North Aurora/Aurora. We stopped in because we were passing by. We love chillaquilles but have a hard time finding good ones. With steak it's only 12.99. I'll be back with my kids to try it. It's a cute little quaint restaurant. I recently moved close by so I will be coming here often. The service was A1. read more

Best dive taqueria around! Lots of good, freshly made food for CHEAP! Pictured is a steak burrito and I dare anyone to finish it! (I couldn't at least!) hubs had the luncheon taco plate, Mexican style with beef asada. So good! The menu is the usual expectations but all delish. A bit divey but that adds to the authentic atmosphere... read more

Juquilita Tacos - Steak burrito, $10.50! - Mexican Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

Ordered lengua tacos, they were decent size and the price was good. Service was really fast, I would definitely be going back.

The place is a little dirty when you walk in they were making tamales in a booth. One girl didn't have gloves on, but I drew have to say the tacos were pretty good. That's why I gave it three stars. If the place was clean it would've got five. read more

A North Aurora GEM! This place deserves more attention. The service was great, prices are very reasonable, and food was delicious. We started with some complimentary chips and salsa and then added on some guac. It came in such a cute serving dish and tasted so fresh. I had the steak burrito which was huge and very filling. We also got some pork tamales on the side because why not. read more

Juquilita Tacos - Lunch special for $10 - Mexican Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

I love this place! They have thee best steak burrito and anything else that is on the menu is delicious

The crazy burrito is my favorite thing on the menu. Small restaurant with high quality food. Haven't had anything I wouldn't order again.

Great service!! The employees and the waitress were super friendly. It is a small cozy restaurant, which is what my husband and I were looking for! The tacos were delicious! We recently moved from Los Angeles, and we've been looking for some really good authentic tacos. Drove 30mins toward Aurora and found this Gem. read more

I love Juquilita Tacos! As a very picky eater it is very hard to find good places to eat but Juquilita Tacos is my favorite restaurant ever! I moved to Virginia 4 years ago and I miss Juquilita Tacos so much I want to drive back to Illinois just to eat there. As a vegan it is so nice to find a Mexican restaurant that is so accommodating and willing to meet my dietary restrictions. The employees are all so friendly and kind. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the establishment is very clean. read more

Great food and service. Love the different burrito combinations. My wife usually gets the tacos. Very friendly staff

Autentico. Small and charming. It's better if you eat in even though there's maybe only 8 to 10 booths and a few tables. Because you definitely want the free chips and salsa. We've had excellent tacos and burritos. I know we should get more adventurous and try some of the exotic tacos, made from I don't know brains or tongue I don't know. read more

Definitely a dive kind of feel to this place. The food was good but don't come in expecting it to be Americanized Mexican food. It is definitely more toward the authentic side. This means you can get things like beef tongue tacos, or head meat tacos. In our case, The service was less than stellar. We had to ask for water refills. We had to ask for to go boxes. In both cases we had to flag down the server and get her attention to get those things. The chips and salsa were excellent though there was a charge for any refills. Our entrées were also very good, with large portions. When we asked for ice water with lemon, we got tapwater, no ice, and lime. It didn't matter that it was lime rather than lemon, just noting that we had asked for lemon. While it was good overall, we didn't find anything outstanding enough to put it on our regular list of places, particularly for Mexican food, that's why it just got an average rating. read more

Very good street tacos in a hole in the wall location. Not big enough for a bar you can get a beer. I'd like to try more of the menu but I keep looking at the tacos... I've had there other items from their food truck at a couple of area events. The truck is how I discovered the store even though I've probably driven by that location dozens of times. Aurora and North Aurora have many many small family Mexican restaurants; it would be challenging to try to go to all of them in a year so, like most people, we find a couple and basically remain fans. read more

Really great tacos! The Al pastor tasted perfect. It was really lively inside. The guy who took our order was super nice. It was busy but the service was fast. read more

Let me tell you!!! As soon as you walk in the door. You can feel the love in the atmosphere! It feels like home Every time you come through those doors. You're met with a smile.! This family owned restaurant is a great local spot to chill and eat.The food was really good and well-priced. The horchata drink is the best I've had in years!!! The also serve beer and a lot of small local restaurants don't serve beer with drinks. The top has to be the steak tacos and horchata overall! Pretty small place, but I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. This would make you not want to go to any other Mexican joint! read more

This place is great. Don't know how I've missed it all these years. The owner is very warm and welcoming brining fresh chips and salsa to the table immediately. He gave us ample time to order and provided some options of what he felt was best. My dad ordered the fish tacos and he said they were great. Nice and flaky with a lot of flavor. My wife ordered the pastor tacos and she said they are very authentic Mexican and you can clearly tell. I ordered the chile rellanos and they were good. They were green chiles and the batter was very light on it. The cheese was flowing and extra gooey. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. It is very quaint and warm inside with only 9 or so smaller tables. Service and food was excellent. read more

I placed a walk in order for take out and i wanted 20 minutes for 2 tacos there was 2 tables that walked in after me and ordered and got their food right away. If i didn't get up and ask for my order who knows how much longer i could've been sitting there. On the other hand the tacos were okay, I'll give them another shot sooner or later but not a great experience for me read more

We have been going here for over 10 years. We only go there occasionally as the service has always been poor. Often slow table service is the problem. Food is good, but we consistently have had poor service. read more

We tried this place a while back and were not impressed. Didn't care for their food.. Even their rice and beans were weird. The pictures we had seen online looked different than what we had. There wasn't anything we really liked for us to want to go back. read more

This is our new favorite local spot! With so many options in the area, it can be hard to choose, but you can't go wrong here. It is definitely a hole in the wall with just a few tables, but the staff are friendly and the pickup works well every time. The burritos are huge and we love that they offer a vegetarian option. The guacamole is some of the best we've had outside of homemade and the chips are always crispy. We also love the refried beans... they have texture and aren't the brown mush you see at other places. We will continue to keep this in our rotation for Friday night takeout! read more

So today is Juquilita tacos 13 th anniversary of being in business at North Aurora.Congratulations on your success!! tacos ,Steak and chicken, Guacamole and Salsa, the Mario especial Pork and chorizo based...

The food was amazing. The portions of meat the best I've had since Covid started the flavors delish. The service are the friendliest people! The owner so friendly and good to his workers! Julissa at the counter is fantastic pure sunshine and steers you to the best choices !!! It's small but proudly done and it's homade. You're a fool if you don't come here. I think it's lovely and romantic inside . Run don't walk to the beat deshebrada outside of my Abualitas. read more

Decent place for Mexican food, nothing really stood out to me. The complimentary chips and salsa were good and the salsa had a nice kick to it. The $1.50 pork tamale in red sauce was average. The $2.50 tongue taco looked very nice, but was a lacking in flavor. The $2 elotes was on the bland side. Most of the tacos are priced at $2 and they have chiles rellenos here for $10. $5 minimum charge on credit card. There is both indoor and outdoor seating here. Small parking lot at the side of the building next door. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

Dinner time made easy. I've only been here once, but I've heard good things about this place from friends. The decor is lively and staff is welcoming. It's a small restaurant with flavor. We had the crazy burrito, al pastor taco dinner, chicken flautas dinner, churro (simple yet delicious), elotes, and horchata. They have monthly specials so make sure you check before you order and the crazy burrito was on February's special which I thought was great it consisted of steak, shrimp, fries, rice, avocado, and veggies. Great portion sizes and delicious none the less. This place makes my top 5 Mexican restaurants in Aurora. read more
