I used Yelp to help ;-) with our decision and El Barrio looked promising. It didn't disappoint. The place is a small, clean, plaza restaurant with a polite staff. The menu is typical for a Mexican restaurant and we ordered taco dinners (mix-n-match choice of meat, with rice and beans). We cleaned our plates satisfied and headed out. If you're in the mood for some Mexican food and are in the area, check out El Barrio's. Peace!

FUNDIDO FOR YOU & ME…read more Melty cheese is always a hit, and Burritos Mi Tierra does it better than most. In picking our date nights, my wife and I alternate between trying new places and revisiting a dozen or so "greatest hits". If we find ourselves in the mood for tried-and-true margaritas, we'll come to this family-owned restaurant in Romeoville about a mile south of I-55 on Weber Rd. Their house chips & salsa are awesome--the green salsa is milder while the red salsa is hotter. You can get a large margarita frozen or on-the-rocks ($15), but expect them to be strong either way. My wife enjoys their Michelada ($9), a drink similar to a bloody mary that's made with beer instead of vodka. We always get the queso fundido con chorizo ($10.75), a marvelously greasy appetizer that comes with corn or flour tortillas. Sometimes our tummies are fine afterwards, sometimes the grease goes through us like an angry lightning bolt. It's so good I'll happily suffer the consequences the next day, IDGAF. Bread = 4.5 Circuses = 4.5 Tacos al pastor ($3.50/ea) get a thumbs-up, however the tampiqueña ($22) was a little disappointing. I know skirt steak is generally a tougher cut, but this was greyer and chewier than what I've gotten at other places. It was served with an enchilada, rice, beans, lettuce and tomato. The best thing on the menu is unquestionably the burrito suizas ($11), a gigantic 1-1/2lb burrito filled with meat, beans, veggies and sour cream with melted cheese on top. It's as tasty as it is massive and will feed a hungry person for two meals! Their vanilla flan ($4.50) is pretty good, too. * TL;DR * Burritos Mi Tierra is one of our favorite Mexican spots in the area, and the unexpected closure of Naperville's On the Border (R.I.P) means we'll probably come back here more often. Service has been consistent, the décor is cute, and their margaritas are some of the best around. Queso fundido and burrito suizas are standout dishes, authentic and fairly-priced. We hope these guys remain in business for a long time! Muy recomendable.

I went back a couple weeks ago and of course they didn't have what i wanted (chicken birria taco meal) but I was starved so I believe I ordered the chicken enchiladas...

The guy says it never " went through " but it went somewhere , because I'm out of $30 ... They made no efforts to rectify the situation .. I ended up eating Wendy's that day. Never again.

Small mom and pop business with a few tables hidden away in a small strip mall. Could be a bit cleaner but overall pretty good.

They just got a new menu and prices of course have gone up but that's understandable. What I'm taking issue with is that the owners need to embrace that this place is a "mom" restaurant that's got a homey feel. They added another screen advertising drinks, etc that are too big and obtrusive for behind the counter. Bring the tone down. Instead of spending money on electric signs, spend your decorating dollars on making the place cozy so pictures in Yelp look more inviting.

From the outside it looks very unassuming as it is tucked away in a strip mall. However, upon entry the restaurant is expansive and dimly lit. We later found out it doubles as a type of nightclub restaurant some evenings. Fun! Les was the bartender there that day, and she was so helpful and friendly. She advised what type of drink we should order according to our tastes and she promptly brought out chips and salsa. Beware of the super hot one, ha ha! I can handle heat, but this knocked my socks off! Les also allowed me to taste test a couple of various samples of different drinks in order to see what I would like. So friendly and professional! The margarita was delicious, I cannot refute that! A majority of the menu contained a lot of fish, hence the name of the establishment. However, since I do not eat fish there was only a quesadilla for me. I therefore did not order anything for myself, but got the children a fish and chips type of meal. They absolutely loved it! We will definitely return. The vibe is ultra cool there!
