This is my go-to local Mexican joint. Everything you order is great - but make sure you get the fresh guacamole- totally worth it!

Love this place BUT please, please bring back the original fresh taco chips!!!!! You had the best chips for miles around- why did you ever discontinue them??? They are/were OUTSTANDING!!!! read more

Great authentic tacos!! Fast service! Great for carry out or dine in. Great spot for Mexican food lovers!

Geez, I'm surprised there are so many unhappy reviews. Honestly, if I want Mexican food, I come here. No question. I've been to the original location in Naperville as well. They have 4 locations now and are always very busy. Ignore the reviews because if its busy in the restaurant, you are doing just fine!! I love Miguel the Manager. He knows me by name and if my niece or son is not with me he asks how they are. Someone made a review that said if she lived next door to Taco Diner she would never cook. I would be here all the time if I lived next door!!!!!! read more

I really can't add to what I've said about the Bolingbrook location to anything here. VERY good food. It's worth a stop. There was a Burrito place across the street MANY years ago. It was run by a biker & his wife, That was where I got my love for giant burritos. I guess now you'll get the closest thing to that experience. I think there's a new sheriff in town as it relates to Mexican food. I told people who work in that mall that this place is legit. I told the guy at the gas station close by about Taco Diner & he checked it out. Later that week, he thanked me for suggesting it. Enough said. Keep up the great work!!! read more

Pretty good and popular mexican food spot. Ordered the steak taco salad, chips/salsa and tamale to-go. It is a busy hot spot durig lunch so plan accordingly for a few extra minutes. Excellent steak!! Loved that the salsa is home made chips served hot. Tamale was the only downside for me. It was a bit on the heavy cornmeal side and pork was tough/dry. I just prefer a creamier cornmeal finish and like beef over pork filling. Customer service is friendly and quick. Looking forward to trying something again. read more

The food and service is excellent! They have a great variety and it never disappoints. I especially love the shrimp ceviches the staff are the best. It feels like home! read more

I was surprised that Miguel in Lisle location was not the owner. Acts walks talks and treats customers as an owner would. You have an unbelievable great employee and he is the reason I return a couple times a week. read more

Love it! Friendly employees and more importantly great food! Non greasy meals that certainly satisfy! I live right down the road and have been there 4 or 5 days already since they opened last Thursday..... read more

This is a typical awful 'authentic' Mexican restaurant . Ridiculous high prices for some of the lowest quality rubber meat one could imagine. Complete with tasteless week old, made in a five gallon bucket mush that they pass as 'Spanish rice.' read more

Had the chimichanga not great thought it was salty till I tasted the bean holy crap do they have stock in Morton's do yourself a favor don't do a platter try a taco or burrito if that's to salty for you,think two times more for the beans.rice is another thing no spice just salt read more

Great food, very nice staff. Their chicken fajita tacos are legit! When dining in, they give you free chips and salsa which is awesome! Everything on the menu is tasty! Will definitely be back soon! read more

The food was excellent! I called our order in and picked it up about 20 minutes later. The restaurant looks clean and the staff was friendly. We ordered the steak taco dinner, the chicken enchilada dinner, guacamole and chips, churros and flan. It was all very good! My husband said the steak actually tasted like steak and not mystery meat like some of these other restaurants use. The chicken was also of good quality, they use white meat chicken in the enchiladas and I didn't come across any fatty, chewy pieces. The guacamole tasted fresh and they make theirs with chucks of avocado in it, it's awesome! Can't say enough good things about this place. I will not waste my time ordering from any of the other nearby Mexican restaurants anymore. If you want your food made fresh and with good quality ingredients, this is the place to order from. read more

Great service! They are very nice and care about the customer. Food is just ok. Kinda pricey compared to other places in the area.

Talk about not only great food, but this place has the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE. Miguel, who is the general manager, always remembers not only my name, my fiancé's name but many other customers names that walk in just behind us. He makes you feel right at home! The meat (we usually get steak) is always of top quality! I usually get tacos, my fiancé usually gets a burrito dinner. We never have anything to complain about! We go there every couple of weeks, LOVE taco diner! read more

Will miss this place. I'm moving out of the area which means I won't be able to come by as often. Normally I am here at least once a week since it opened last year. Miguel runs an excellent venue. Good quality always good and service is excellent too. The place is always clean and considering the prices it's a terrific value for a quick traditional Mexican bite. They serve Mexican beers too so that's a big plus. Keep up the great work guys! read more

My family and I love Taco Dále! Amazing food and the staff is always wonderful. The guacamole is our favorite!

We enjoyed the food, especially the beans were tasty. I got the (hot) enchiladas and they were great but not really very spicy. While I got wrapped silverware, my companion got plastic. They were happy to get real when we asked. Price was reasonable for lunch. read more

Made it to the actual location to see if the steak tacos were as good as the ones at the craft show. They were, but I was super bummed they were out of verde. How do you run out of verde? Then I realized it was the day after Cinco de Mayo so I will give them a pass, but so help me if there's no verde the next time I visit I won't be back because it really makes the taco for me! read more

The owners are super friendly. The restaurant looks pretty clean. I ordered the taco dinner special, hubby ordered the carne asada, sister ordered the Caldo de res, and it all of it was a pretty good order of food. The food is pretty decent. Yet, the complimentary chips were super stale and hard to chew. It's decent pricing but a little on the more pricey side. I probably won't be coming back to this place. read more

Better than average plus taqueria with a fairly wide assortment of food and drinkables; very friendly and helpful staff. Yet to find anything problematic on their food; recommend the various tacos, fajitas, their Cuban sandwich (torta Cubana) (quite good and filling) and their sides are good. Not a fan of the table salsas; not bad, just either way hot or not to my taste - go for the guacamole instead. Enjoy! read more

I was very pleased with my lunch here at Taco Diner. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. I ordered the combo platter. Steak taco meat was tender and the chicken flautas were delicious. Portions and prices were decent too. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Awesome burritos and tortas. Great customer service. Yay I found my new fast food Mexican food place.

My tacos are good but the chips are super hard. Would not try again due to the chips. Please make the chips softer

I had a flotus dinner here. Sorry for the misspelling LOL. It is kind of pricey but if you're in the Lisle area on Maple and 53 it is a good Mexican place. read more

Excellent burritos. I go with the steak burrito most of the time, but they are right on the money with the tamales. it's a popular place so the line might be long but I think it's worth it. read more

Yes! Wonderful food, friendly, nice atmosphere. This one definitely checks all the boxes!

I will be honest the food is great. But the service Is atrocious. The worst service in human history. I stopped eating there for six months bc of it. Two incidents happened; first incident six months ago i called in my order, and they host put me on hold for 5 minutes. Then I hung up calling back and again put on hold for 2 minutes. I called back a third time asking not be on hold and he said sorry I have line out my store. Not bloody possible!!! Bc it work week day, it's never ever that full. Second incident I ordered my usual two order of fish tacos, I said I don't eat raw onions so no onions and just lettuce cheese, sauce and I will pay for the jalapeños. She said we don't have a sauce. I'm like I used to eat there lot. I know it has a tangy sauce. Put me on hold until I got there. I was still on hold. There was nobody in the whole restaurant except a kitchen hand eating. This places food might be great. But the service is pathetic. read more

Super nice people but the food was just meh. I was hoping for more.. we ordered steak tacos and chips with guacamole.. sorry, just didn't like it. read more

This is definitely my new favorite local mexican place. Their salsa is great and their menu pretty comprehensive. However, could improve on the following: 1) definitely a bit pricier than other local taco joints 2) not great with accommodating special requests over the phone or online. You have to do this in person. The ladies who work there suffer greatly with the language barrier. 3) meat is often over salted read more

Ordered catering for a party of 25. Food was amazing and had a lot leftover. The al pastor was the best but also loved the chicken ranchero and steak fajitas. Package came with rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese, 3 salsas, chips, sour cream and guacamole. Food was ready for pickup exactly when they promised. Everyone at the party complimented the spread. Miguel and his crew did a fantastic job. Thank you. read more

Above average mexican food from what I have sampled in the area. I really think places need to focus on one great salsa instead of 3 okay to good salsas. Prices are fair. Chips and salsa are free if you dine in (yay!). You can get your tacos taqueria style (cilantro and onions) or american (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes) or both. I think having these options. Sometimes you want something more ameri-mex/ tex-mex. Refried beans and rice were run of the mill. My husband liked his tacos and I enjoyed my burrito. I wish it had just been stuffed with meat, beans and a crap ton of cheese instead of having lettuce, rice, sour cream and tomatoes taking up space. Overall we enjoyed our meal. Still trying to find something more like what we got back home in Texas. I want to give it 4 stars because it was better the the "A-ok" description that yelp gives it, but I can't since their description is "yay! I'm a fan". I think it is a solid 3.5 if yelp would give us half stars. Service was good. Order taken quickly and salsas/chips replenished. read more

We stopped in prior to catching a 7pm flick at Seven Bridges. Food is pretty authentic tasting and they have a large menu from which to pick. My only suggestion is they could use another server for the size of restaurant. read more

Very good food. I highly recommend it. Chips and salsa for appetizers and I had the Tampiqueña for dinner. The steak was really tender.

We were at the Taco Diner in Lisle tonight for the first time. The chicken tacos I had with rice and beans was very good. The Dinner my wife had was not so good but again the rice and beans were great. The salsa they have was not that good but I have had worse. The young person behind the desk must be new as she was having trouble keeping up as they got busier. I think she also had some language problems. We had to ask for more salsa three times and the staff was not keeping up with cleaning the tables for those still wanting to sit down. The menu looked interesting and we will see what it is like next time. read more

THE best tacos I've probably ever had. Ordered for the first time at work catering and I always go for lunch when I can venture off that way. read more

This place is AMAZING!! The food was marvelous. I ordered the chicken taco dinner. They manager/owner is always nice. The chicken tacos were great. I've tried chicken tacos at other Mexican restaurants, and they weren't good at all. The manager told me they make everything. They don't use frozen, or canned anything. I would definitely go back, and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants wonderful Mexican food. Service with a smile, and they walk over to ask how you are doing, and if you need anything. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Awesome steak tacos! My first visit- food was great service was friendly. Place is brand new and in perfect shape. Will definitely be back again! Can't wait to try the fajitas! read more

I am very particular about my Mexican food. I studied abroad in Mexico for four months and when I get food at a place like this it better taste authentic, or I'm moving on to somewhere else. I usually judge with an order of al pastor tacos, a tamale and an horchata. All three are AMAZING here and they're my go-to every time. I've had the al pastor torta too and that was also very good (and big). Green salsa is the best. We regularly went to Alfredo's in downtown Downers Grove before this opened, and it is still a favorite, but this place is more affordable and so, so good. read more

Two words. Pork Taco. This place was fabulous. Decently priced but good atmosphere for a tiny taco joint. When you go to a restaurant with 6 other people, usually someone has something bad to say eventually... It didn't happen. Felt so good about it I went up and ordered... two more pork tacos. read more
