Their steak tacos are really good. I usually just get steak tacos with only cilantro & onions. The meat is seasoned good & chopped to small pieces unlike some restaurants have chewy meat with big pieces. They can be pricey with their toppings like sour cream and avocado. They've recently expanded so the place is way more spacious and they even added a ice cream parlor. I recommend calling ahead for pick up because they're usually always busy. Service is sometimes slow because they only have one cashier so even if you called ahead you have to wait in line with those who didn't and take all day to order their food. Maybe they need to hire more staff or add another register. They also offer margaritas now. read more

Oh my gosh. This just isn't for me. I guess for people that like Taco Bell will like this place. But it just seems kind of generic. There are so many better real Mexican restaurants out there but again to be fair they're probably more like Taco Bell and I know Taco Bell has a huge following. We ordered four meals. I'll were disappointing. The portions were very small. The burritos were basically all shell. Bite after bite it was mostly flour tortilla. Nobody was really crazy about what they ordered at all. read more

Mediocre at best; waited 20 minutes for 2 tacos, 1 taco had a normal amount of ingredients the second taco barely had anything in it. Disappointed because I wanted to like this place since I just moved to the area, burrito parilla is much better in my opinion. read more

Great carne asada tacos! Really good rice and beans. Looking forward to exploring their menu and dining in once this Covid-19 nonsense is over! read more

It kills me to have to update my review, but I can't not let others know especially in the midst of what is going on with Covid 19. Yesterday while ordering our meal, we saw the cashier cut limes with her bare hands and place in a serving dish. She did this after completing transactions on the register. This is such a shame because previous to this, we have always enjoyed our meals there. Please wash your hands and use gloves when dealing with food. read more

It's a decent taco place. They have all the traditional fair and the staff seems nice. Every time I have a trip to Procam, I make a stop here. So I can also say that their consistent menu is something I trust. read more

This is by far our favorite place for Mexican dishes. The food is delicious, the staff is super friendly. Well worth it, every time.

So far so good. Good service. Only downside, my eyes are bad and it's hard to read the menu with tiny little font in a lighted screen. Love the tacos. I don't like much else so I don't order much else except for guacamole and chips or salsa. They have amazing fish tacos that are definitely the best I've had and come out pretty consistent. read more

The place is small so expect a wait. The food is unbelievable and way better than any fancy sit down place. Have the chicken enchiladas and a beer it will be the best Mexican meal around! The dress attire????? Forget it folks! You are here for the food not a fashion show! Enjoy. read more

This is my go to place for a quick meal and Tex-Max cravings. I am a steak fajitas guy and Taco Dale's offering is decent. I also like the steak quesadilla it comes with a generous size of guacamole. read more

Good Mexican food, but very difficult ordering with any food restrictions, no one there understands the concept of veganism, (it was impossible to order a veggie bowl without cheese or sour cream lastnight) it's 2019! People are more informed and conscious about what they are putting in their bodies, my family likes it, but I will not be going back. read more

I have been dining at Taco Dale since they opened. Unfortunately, they have gone way down hill. In my most recent visit, I ordered a steak burrito. One could hardly call this a "steak burrito. There was little to no meat in it. It was more like a "lettuce" burrito. Their prices have gone up which I do understand, but $10 for a bean & lettuce wrap with minimal traces of meat is ridiculous. read more

Best food ever! And great friendly service clean and prompt!! The food was exactly how it should be

Place is delicious. I'll either order their big size burrito or a few tacos. Sometimes you want a greasy burrito. Sometimes you want some Mexican food without feeling like you need a nap. This place is the latter. Everything here tastes clean. I haven't been here for a few months, but the only thing I don't like is their policy with giving salsa to go. Last time I asked for some more, they said you get 1 per taco and 2 per burrito. I hope that's changed because I usually take out from here. read more

Ordered through doordash. I'm really not sure how this place has such great reviews. The food mediocre at best... my chicken flautas were so dry and bland. Usually the meat inside flautas is seasoned but these were a huge disappointment. Even the sour cream and guacamole didn't help with the dryness. They didn't even give us any sauce to help add flavor. I ended up taking the bland meat out of the shell and feeding it to my dog who's on a bland diet because flavored food makes her gassy lol. We also ordered nachos. Now the concept of putting toppings on every chip was great but for the amount they give you we were disappointed. We were expecting cheesy sloppy delicious nachos. Not worth $10! We also ordered a chimichanga which was decent but again lacked flavor. It didn't make up for the lack of quality every where else. There are much better Mexican joints in town! read more

Trying to support a small business and was VERY disappointed! I ordered online only to find out is was pointless. When I arroved to pick up the food they said they don't take orders online and I needed ro reorder and wait again. Total wait time so far is 1 hour and 30 minutes. I sure hope that the food is good. read more

I have eaten Taco Diner food 5 times now. First 3 times food was very good. Now the burritos are terrible. The bottom falls out with watery fat and very messy. Not like before. The food was in a paper bag inside a plastic bag. When i took the food out of the plastic bag the paper bag broke because the liquid in the burritos leaked out and all the food fell on the floor. Will not be going there again ! read more

We love it. Our go to Mexican spot. Chorizo is amazing. Great staff too. Fun ice cream spot too.

Was expecting more after all the positive yelp reviews. We had burritos and guacamole. The meat turned out over cooked, dry and bland. Not much seasoning on the meat itself. The guacamole is mostly salsa with some avocado in it, heavy on the cilantro. Rather expensive considering it was mostly tomatoes. I suppose this may be considered "authentic", just not very tasty without the sauce on the side. Surprisingly run of the mill. I'd say meh overall. Tight squeeze in the dining area. It's a small place with too many tables for the space. Tables along the counter where you order are a bad place to sit unless you don't mind butts in your face while you try to eat. read more

I usually get the cheese quesadilla with steak or the streak burrito. The thing I like is you get the chips and salsa immediately so can begin snacking. Also the place is clean and the staff friendly. They will always ask how the food is and if I need anything. The fact you can buy ice cream here is the best thing ever! They even have a wide variety of drinks, my favorite thing to do is get a hot americano with my food. I will add they even have things like cheese fries which are awesome! The quality of the food has caused me to stop visiting the resturant next to them as much, I feel their coffee is better and the food is better value. Also I saw they were putting new chairs out for summer which is much appreciated. I also noticed awhile back some signs up saying if we had any concerns to text a number, so clearly the owner is serious about quality service. I'd say anyone should give it a try and take time to look over all they offer. From my Google Reviews 11 months ago read more

La comida era muy Buena! This restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall and not easy to find, but it's well with the effort. The salsa and chips were perfect. I enjoyed the tacos and a tamale. I would have rated the tacos and service 5 stars, but the tamale was slightly over cooked and hard on the bottom. You couldn't cut it worth the plastic fork provided. However, the taste was phenomenal. This is definitely worthy of your visit. Delicious. read more

Taco Dale - The perfect lunch. Tacos El pastor with cilantro and onion on corn tortillas. - Mexican Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

Holy guacamole! You might want to make the assumption that Taco Diner is just another Mexican joint in just another suburban strip mall. Bzzt! Wrong! This place was packed with customers on a Friday evening. Some stayed to dine in, others were taking it to go. I ordered horchata to drink. It was pretty good. The free refills are even better! Get the guacamole! It's made fresh and although "chunky" isn't the most appealing word, that's exactly what it is. The guacamole isn't that paste-like junk you get at the grocery store. Taco Diner's guacamole has big, fresh chunks of avocado, tomato, and onion. And yes, a little bit of cilantro, but it's not overpowering at all. The chips and salsa are good too. The Chiles Rellenos are really good. They are perfectly battered and fried, and then stuffed with good Monterey Jack cheese. Taco Diner also does chile relleno tacos if that's your bag. Entrees are served with beans (refried only, no black beans) and rice. I opted for double rice (eeek! no me gusta refried beans). Our meal was ridiculously inexpensive for all of the food we ordered. Taco Diner may rival my other local favorite, Burrito Parilla, for when I'm craving something a bit more authentic. read more

Needed a new Mexican place and glad I found this! Had the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and it's delicious. Very authentic. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My son had the shrimp in garlic sauce and he loved it. Good sized portions, too. read more

Did I miss something? How in the world does this place have 4.5 out of 5 stars? Maybe it's because I grew up on the streets of San Francisco and ate at dozens of taquerias, but the tacos here were ATROCIOUS. I got a pork taco and chorizo taco, and when they showed up, they already smelled kind of strange. Chalking it up to my allergies messing with my nose, I took a bite of the pork and holy sodium chloride, Batman! The meat was incredibly salty! And it had this weird...almost Chinese food-tasting sauce to it. I didn't come to this place for fusion cuisine. I choked down another bite of the pork before I turned to the chorizo. I can say without hyperbole that I almost gagged. It tasted like smelly feet and a petting zoo and freshly cut grass all mixed together. Now there's nothing wrong with freshly cut grass, but there is a time and a place for it! And it's not when I'm getting tacos for lunch! I gave up at that point and tried to eat $7 worth of free chips (but I passed on the salsa. Tasted like they mixed hot dog juice in with it) and downed a couple glasses of Coke. 1/5, would not recommend. read more

Just okay folks, nothing special. Well maybe not even okay. Who in the world calls boring chicken with lettuce and salsa in a flour tortilla a burrito? No rice, no beans, no flavor. Other entrees tried by party also very boring. Nice staff and good chips, but we won't be back. read more

What a gem hidden in a shopping center right next to Panera. We're from Chicago and had no idea of where to eat until we started reading the reviews on Yelp. Friendly staff, good customer service and really good food. We had the taco salad with chicken - more meat than I've seen at any other restaurant, and the grilled chicken breast, sliced into 3 thin layers and done to perfection. We also had the guacamole, it was delicious although for the price the portion was quite small. If I'm ever back in Bolingbrook, I'll be looking for this place. read more

This place has been around for sometime now, but I never went and tried it out. So happy I did this evening. I thought it was going to be this little hole in the wall but it turned out to be a decent place. I ordered the Taco Dinner (with chicken ) and rice - no beans. Didn't have to wait long, went right in placed my order, waited about 3 or 4 minutes and my togo order was ready. They give a generous amount of meat within each of the 3 soft shell tacos. They also include 2 sauced which seemed to be a mild and hot (green & red) sauce. For $9.99 it's a perfect serving size not to big and not to little. I'll defiantly go here again! read more

I hope locals are not offended by 4*... I can eat tacos in the Mission in San Francisco any time... it's a pretty high bar to measure up to. Taco Diner rings the bell, though, solid! I tried the $8.99 taco dinner special - three soft tacos (you can get them either autentico with onion + cilantro or americano with tomato and cheese). Tried the lenga, carne asada and al pastor. All very good. The carne asada was really balanced and savory - lots of good steak there! The al pastor was a little spicier and mouth-fillling. The lengua was light and tender. The tacos were both generous and un-greasy (I wouldn't have complained at a little more grease but these are going to be easier on your body). Three salsas were delivered to the table with complimentary chips... all salsas pass the Mission Taste Test! pico de gallo style fresh and bursting with flavor. red chili had moderate but nice heat, again well-balanced flavors. the tomatillo was very fruity-fresh. I ate 'em all con gusto. Service was fast and super friendly. The restaurant, (hiding in the back of a strip center) was attractive, clean and comfortable. I'll be happy to go back! The only reason for a missing star is packaged tortillas. I can't blame them, it's not practical to make them at this site and the nearest tortillerias are downtown Chicago. The tortillas they served were fine... but you know how fresh home-made tortillas can really spoil you. Smile, there is hope for those with taco withdrawal symptoms here in the Big Windy. read more

1. If It's not broke, don't fix it.. It's not broke so don't fix it. Everything they do, they do it very well. Don't mess with success. 2. In 1 year, a business will live or die on what they do & it will be beyond repair. Taco Diner has MORE that hit it's stride and they just keep on going. 3. I ventured off and had a steak taco- excellent. 4. Sometimes, you find treasure when you least expect it. After almost 2 years, you have become an absolute gem. Bottom line. Keep up the good work!!!! Nice to know I got to review you first. read more

Taco Diner is the best taqueria in Bolingbrook and possibly the best in the suburbs overall. It's more than just a fast food place, in that it is well decorated and if you dine in, you get some really great chips and salsa with your meal. They even have free wifi, which I love for when I get out of work and want to just sit and relax for a while by myself and mess around on my phone. The food itself is as good or better than any other taqueria. I always order the chile relleno tacos, which are phenomenal. The chiles are usually fresh out of the fryer and piping hot which is not always the case at some other places. The staff is really friendly, too. I enjoy every part of the experience of eating here. There's a Panera next door, and I can't imagine why anyone would eat there when they could go to Taco Diner instead! read more

The search is over! I have been looking for great tasting authentic Mexican food out in the suburbs, and this place is even BETTER than Chicago food. That's right! The chips, salsa, tacos, sopes, steak, burrito, beans, horchata...everything we had was absolutely DELICIOSO! I can't wait to come back! Even my picky toddler enjoyed his beans and chips. If I lived within walking distance I'd eat here daily. Thank God I don't (I can afford to save quite a few calories). This will definitely be our family's spot from now on. Can't wait to come back. Mmmmmm! Don't let the name confuse you into thinking its a Tex Mex "Taco Bell" kinda place. 100% Authentic! read more

Wow. I read Amy H.'s review and it was the exact same experience I had about a month ago. I used the call ahead method and pre-ordered one meal, a chicken burrito dinner. They told me the same as her, it would be ready in 25 minutes. So I get there right at 25 minutes. They were not too busy. The lady rang me up and I paid. And I waited. Many people started coming in. I sat down and must have waited another 20 minutes. I watched so many people come in, order and then walk out with their food. I was upset now so asked another worker and she went to check and they found it. I don't know whether they just made it or if it had been sitting for an hour. I felt ignored and it was not all that great. Ok so I just bumped them up another star. I went tonight and ordered ahead on line. Went very smooth. Staff was friendly. Food was ready for carry out and when I went home it was delicious. I ordered the chicken burrito suizo dinner. It was so good. I went at 5:00 so it wasn't real busy. Last time I was there it was busy. I really wanted to like this place. I'm definitely going back. read more

This place lives up to the name Taco Diner by making some really great tacos. I ordered off the a la carte menu and picked two pork tacos at $2.39 each. While a little on the pricey side (which is why I chose to give it four stars) they were amazing. The pork in these tacos was marinated perfectly and really had some great flavor. I would recommend getting it with raw onion and cilantro and add some of their hot sauce (just ask for it!). One thing I found to be a little confusing is on the menu they list chips and salsa. What the menu does not say is that if you decide to dine in, they chips and salsa are free! They came out warm and the salsa was really good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be going back again in the near future. read more

This is the only mexican joint in a 5 mile radius I haven't tried. I walked in one evening and it was hotter than Hades inside. I ordered the Taco dinner(chicken with cilantro, beans and rice on the side.) I took my drink outside to the seating with an umbrella to cool off, and wait for my food. Free chips and salsa were given. I liked the chips and dip! Too bad that was the highlight of my visit. The wait wasn't long to get my dinner outside to me. The tacos looked great. After I finished my 1st taco, I noticed the 2 left were cooling off. By my third taco it was a little cold. The beans and rice are like any other mexican place. I am sure the other menu items are good, but this taco dinner wasn't as great as I was expecting from the reviews I was reading. I'll stick to the mex places closer to me. read more

My husband and I are done with this place, which is a shame because it's so close and the food is good. But we always order take out, and since my last review, EVERY TIME we order here they get at least one thing wrong. Is it so difficult to get one tostada with sour cream and one without? Also, they give lemons instead of limes. I know there's a lime shortage right now, but it would be nice if they at least told you they don't have limes instead of just giving you lemons and thinking you won't notice/care. We're just sick of coming home with our order and getting pissed off. Any go-to restaurant should have good food AND reliable service. We'll be looking for a new Mexican place. read more

As far as hole-in-the-wall Mexican food places go, this one is very clean -- even the restrooms. The guy working the front wasn't terribly friendly -- it was painfully obvious he'd rather be doing something else than work at this restaurant. I ordered the grilled chicken taco plate. The tacos were pretty good, but the chicken was not grilled. I don't know if it was just inattentiveness on behalf of the front guy. I also noticed that the same thing I ordered was a lunch special on the way out -- but since I never ordered it as a special, I got charged full price. The chips were oily and really hard to bite into. The salsas, however, were very good. Would I come back? Mmm, I'm not sure yet. For the same price there are some really decent Mexican places around -- my first thought is Front Street Cantina in Plainfield/Naperville, or even La Hacienda off of Weber, down the road from this joint. On the plus side, you can hijack the Panera wifi next door! Or, maybe I'll just go there next time... read more

We love taco diner. Probably get it to go at least once a week. They have the best steak taco's I have had and their chips are also really good. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Went here earlier this week for dinner. Ordered "American Nachos", a torta, and a combo with quesadilla and flauta. The salsas and. Chips were great. The nachos were good - even cold the next day. The torta was wonderful. I usually don't care for refried beans but those were actually great too. Rice and flauta were fine. Food was quick, delicious, and reasonably priced. Will return. read more
