The food was good. The chimichanga fried burrito service was really good. Nice clean place. A good small Mexican restaurant in Carpentersville that me and my parents went to I like it there. It's like a 5 or 10 minute drive. read more

Tamazula Tacos - Chimichanga burrito with rice and beans with chips on the side - Mexican Near Me - Carpentersville, Illinois

Get some pretty authentic Mexican at this small cantina in Carpentersville. It doesn't look like much because it's in a strip mall, but forget about looks. Tamazula Tacos is about the most authentic you can get around here, and there's lots of Mexican places. Of course that says a lot about it. Prices are okay and you can get things like tortas and more. Came in to get carryout. It's pretty boring and nondescript decor inside. They must be expecting customers to take it to go it seems. Has a few tables inside. There seems to be no bathroom though. Basically it's order at the counter. I got the Aguacate Torta. It's about $6 for this classic Mexican item, not a bad price for as big as it was. Basically it's filled with avocado and beans. Other fillings include cheese, which I left off, jalapeños, and lettuce. Also I got the Guacamole. It's $7 for a small cup, kind of a lot to pay for it. This wasn't as fresh as it should have been for as much as they charge for that. For sure authentic. It's one of the most authentic around here. The bad thing is it's limited for vegetarians. read more

Tamazula Tacos - The Aguacate Torta And Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Carpentersville, Illinois

This is my favorite go to spot for Mexican cuisine. I come here for the food only and It's always the same...excellent!!! No music, no alcohol, no frills or thrills just good authentic Mexican food. read more

Everyone in there just seems so miserable and unhappy, i do like their food though since it's pretty authentic and good but one thing is they're constantly switching up the prices and they keep going hire and hire. overall the place does seem pretty well kept and the service is also fast read more

Depending usually the food doesn't taste amazing. Sometimes I wonder what kind of meat is actually in the food. A little pricey for the kind of food that you get. I do have to say that the people running it a very friendly and do a quick job read more

If you're looking for delicious authentic Mexican food! This is the place! I've been there once a week for the past 6 weeks and I have not been disappointed. read more

Trying to find a new Mexican place to eat. We used to go to La Taquera in Hanover Park, and god do we miss it. Anyways...salsa was so bad. My wife called it period blood. LOL. i looks so unappealing and jesus lord its spicy. We LOVE spicy food. I mean LOVE. But thats was just gross. No flavor just pure like cayan and saracha sauce. Glad we didnt try the food... We'll go elsewhere. If anyone knows a real good place send me a message! read more

Tamazula Tacos - three bowls of tamazula sauce - Mexican Near Me - Carpentersville, Illinois

My favorite place to go for quick cheap authentic Mexican food. They have the best burritos. Even have 2 different size burritos. I always get a small and it's perfect for me. The steak burritos and egg and chorizo burritos are my favorite. Their green salsa is the best! They also have the best tacos of lengua around this area. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because if you go there to sit down to eat it's a hit or miss. There may or may not be a little boy there (I think it's the owners son) playing videos games on a big screen while watching an iPad and it's just very loud. Other than that, I love this place! read more

I went in here for lunch. The decor is nice. It's a bit small, but there are about seven tables. There was an LCD TV playing the news. The lady at the register was very, very nice. I ordered three tacos with onion and cilantro and an order of chips and salsa. The total was $4.45....very, very inexpensive. I was a bit worried, but when the chips and salsa came out, I knew this place would be good. The chips were nice and warm. The salsa was homemade and extremely hot. I don't mind spiciness at all, but beware if you're sensitive to spice. The tacos were good. The steak was cooked well and there was little to no fat on them. There were plenty of onions and cilantro. No complaints here. Overall, this is a nice little gem in a hidden strip mall. The price is extremely good for the food that is served. I'll definitely be back in here when I'm craving some good Mexican for lunch. read more

I order from here nearly every other day. They're super cheap for what you get, but not compromising for it in quality whatsoever; everything is made to order and is very tasty. I really only get the veggie burritos, but I've had the Egg+Charizo Burrito as well, along with the Chicken, and Steak. All of them are super great. You can call in ahead to make an order if you don't want to wait. Eat here read more

I have been here twice now, and the food was delicious both times. I had the chicken tostada, and the steak & pork tacos (with cilantro & onion of course). This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I will definitely try the stuffed peppers with cheese next time, doesn't seem like you can go wrong with anything on the menu! The prices are very reasonable too. read more

Really good tacos and chicken. Prices are very competitive, definitely my go to place for legit Mexican food.

Really like the food, but could do without the blaring Tejano music drowning out conversation and ESPECIALLY the 11 yr old running around, screaming and banging on the counter and walls. read more

The red salsa brings the HEAT! Like seriously, I had to stop eating it, the corners of my lips were on fire. I had 3 tacos and a gordita. Gorditas are fun, it's like a fried flatbread filled with taco filling. All of it hit the spot. For a local taqueria in Carpentersville, I'd recommend Tamazula in a second. Friendly service, great food, all of it very reasonably priced. I ate my fill (maybe beyond my fill) for something like $10. read more

Food is good but the owners kid sits in the dining room and plays on his computer and is screaming so loud you have to repeat yourself multiple times as the person taking your order can't hear you. read more

I was in the area and had some time to kill a couple Friday's ago, so I stopped here to use my time wisely eating tacos. Sat down and was immediately served chips with two salsas, a red and a green. They were ok, nothing special. I ordered the steak taco dinner. It was brought out very quickly and looked amazing. I had seen another sauce on all the other tables, so I asked the waitress for some hot sauce. She told me there were only the two. I looked at the other tables and asked "are you sure?" Twice, I asked for the hot salsa and was told there wasn't another one. Ok, whatever. The steak was poorly trimmed and tasted old. Too many unchewable bits that were removed from my mouth and placed on the side of the plate, almost enough to fill a tortilla. The rice was ok, the beans were very thick and dried out. I left a whole taco on the plate and left still hungry. Very disappointing. I don't understand all the great reviews here. read more

This is the worst Mexican restaurant I Oder tacos de carne asada and my dog will not even want to smell them no flavor at all will not recommend this place is a joke and the service is a joke too stay away from this place read more

Tamazula Tacos - a close up of a taco - Mexican Near Me - Carpentersville, Illinois

My favorite mexican food in carpentersville. Not a date spot or anything like that but they have a small but clean dine in area and the food is awesome. Im very picky when it comes to carne asada and this is the best in the area for sure read more

Went here for lunch, wasn't impressed. It was okay but not amazing, steak was bland. The decor was unpleasant. Overall I wouldn't go again.

Good food, reasonably priced, and close to home. Better than the franchise across the street for sure.

THEY HAVE SOME THICC TACOS. Well priced. So many different options for everyone. Everything tastes so fresh. Me and my family's preffered place to get take-out from. read more

Small dine in / take out place. When you sit down they give you chips and salsa ( green and red) while you wait for your food. I've ordered a couple of different items from their menu and I'm always surprised on how well the food taste. Definitely my go to for Mexican ! read more

Red Snapper was good. Was looking for fish tacos was told they don't serve them. So I settled for the Snapper.

BuRRitOs aRE boMB aF! Slsa very vry spiky ! Make my hole mouth on fjreeeee!!!!! But very good! read more

Entire order is wrong.... One order and repeated it three times. The enchiladas are not good, they look burned not going here again there's a lot of better Mexican restaurant around the area read more

This place is not fancy, just basic - but seemed OK. I had the enchilada plate (chicken / ground beef) with red / green chile sauce and it was pretty good. I'm from the Southwest and I grew up with Mexican food. If you figure that Subway next door is going to charge $5.50 (or more) for a sub sandwich, go the extra $2 and get a decent meal next door. I'll probably go back again soon. read more
