They were spot on with attending to my order. It's a great little spot with fresh food that packs a lot of flavor. I took away a Pozole that I'll finish the rest today and a Gordita w Carne Asada seasoned just right that I scarfed down yesterday when I got home. You get your monies worth... read more

I tried this place a few year back and had a really great burrito. Next time I went it wasn't so good. So that kind of turned me off and I didn't try it for years. But b/c of circumstances I went here again and dined in. (It's rather small so I wouldn't really recommend dining in for larger crowds.) I received complimentary Chips and Salsa, they're ok but they're FREE. Chips warm Salsa ok can't complain. I went for the steak taco dinner 3 tacos on corn (don't know if they do flour, they didn't ask and i didn't either) comes with rice and beans. Got grilled onions and lettuce on my taco. The tacos, beans and rice were really good. I've already been back got the chicken tacos good as well, not as good as steak though. read more

Every time I come to westmont I have to stop here for lunch. Always great! Sauces are fantastic from mild to serious heat! Prices are completely fair for what you get. Always friendly when I dine in! Seen some other reviews and have to say I do not agree! read more

I ordered the combination fajitas which were excellent. There was plenty for 2 meals. My husband got the taco salad which was quite good. He loves their chipotle salsa which is quite spicy and flavorful. This is now our number one place for Mexican food in the Downers Grove area. read more

Skimpy on the meat full of grease. I don't recommend this place overly priced for what they serve to you. read more

Great tacos and burritos here. The place is small and quaint. The chips are good and the guacamole and salsa is fair. It seem like you should order at a counter, but someone will come and bring you a menu. Then when you are all done, you have to go up to the server at the register to pay, oddly enough instead of the server just bringing the bill. The tacos were authentic, tasty and as good as any other place in the area. The burrito was bigger and loaded with more meat than some of the other local restaurants. read more

Nice little neighborhood Taqueria in Westmont near 63rd and Williams (east of the Harvest breakfast place). The food is good, services is friendly and helpful, and the prices are about right. We arrived just before the Friday dinner rush and were promptly greeted by our server who gave us some chips and two salsas (one red and one green). Both had some heat - especially the red. When my dad struggled a bit with them, the server brought over a bowl of mild salsa. Very thoughtful... I decided to get a carne asada gordita, and two tacos (lengua and cabeza - tongue and cow head). The tacos were tasty, especially the lengua, though they were a bit sparsely filled compared to some of the tacos I've had in the area. The gordita, at $2.99, represented a good value - nicely filled. I'm looking forward to trying the sopes, huaraches, tostadas and tortas in future visits. I used to come regularly to Taqueria el Pulpo which used to be at this location. I think the food is comparable at this incarnation - quite good. Our server was fantastic - she took the time to answer multiple questions about the food despite covering all of the tables by herself. If you liked Taqueria el Pulpo, you'll definitely like Taqueria El Ranchito. If you didn't get a chance to try el Pulpo, now's your chance to check out the new place. read more

I've been here twice and it's fantastic to find some authentic flavors in the land of suburbia. Their vegetarian options revolve around black beans, rice, cheese and avocado, but the torta, taco, and quesadilla I tried were all delicious. Their horchata is so creamy and delicious. Also, when I have ordered to go and to eat in the service has been very friendly and prompt. Chips and salsa appear to come free with your meal, whether you eat in or not. Also, food comes out very quickly. This does not feel like a run-of-the-mill Mexican place. Just walking in you get the vibe that it's a restaurant that people take a lot of pride in. If you are in the area, I would recommend you stop by for lunch! read more

Another Mexican option in the western burbs. Decent soups! I had pozole and a steak taco dinner. Quick service. Large dining area but more of a fast food environment for sure. Salsa was ok. read more

My favorite Mexican place. I'm surprised it's not always crowded. I've had the burritos and tacos, and they were fantastic. Salsas very amazing too. The taste is very authentic and not too overbearing. Wonderful value. Warm and welcoming environment with cute interior and a homey feel. read more

It seems like mexican food in Chicago is very hit or miss. I've had some amazing as well as horrible mexican food here. This place is a hit for sure. The meat actually had flavor! No hear me out. I've ordered from a dozen different mexican restaurants through grubhub and most of the time the meat has no flavor. My pastor chimichanga was da bomb. My friend ordered the steak taco's and said they were legit. The beans were good but not the best I've had here which is the only reason I gave 4 vs 5 stars. read more

Pastor and carne asada tacos are amazing. So flavorful. Tad greasy but delicious. Definitely recommend.

Awful service - ordered two steak burritos and guacamole. Don't assume the guacamole comes with chips. My mistake and apparently when I spoke to the "manager", he said they receive a lot of complaints about that and haven't been able to clarify that on the menu. Is that my fault? And I paid $8 bucks for a guacamole that looked like it exploded on my kitchen counter! Then my burritos arrive cold. Service sucked. Presentation sucked. Plenty of other places with Mexican food. read more

Been here twice for to-go orders. I got an Al pastor torta and a chorizo burrito. The flavors were great for both items but I did think that the bread for the torta could have been toasted a bit more to make it a little less mushy as I was eating it and the burrito was packed with rice and not as much chorizo or other ingredients. Still for the portion sizes they give you I'd still say it's a decent place to grab some Mexican food read more

Great authentic Mexican food, decently priced. The salsas are tasty, try the taco salad. You won't be disappointed.

Came here only because Burrito Paradise was closed. Ordered 3 dishes (Filet, Carne Asada, and Gordita), 2 drinks and 1 side. The bill was way over what it should be after I computed but I won't fight for 3 dollars extra. Then when we pay, they said there's $2 charge for using credit card. It's not good to rob customers like that. Will never go back to this place again! read more

Fantastic tacos - we like the carne asada the best but the al pastor is also excellent. We have done carry-out many times and our order is always ready quickly and correctly. read more

Excellent food. Lightning fast service. Great music! ¿¿¿What more can you ask for when you go out for lunch??? read more

Stopped in while I was doing laundry next door. I had two steak tacos on corn tortillas with cilantro and onion. The server also delivered chips and salsa and my water. The food was outstanding! The price was under $5. I was there around 11:30 and it seemed like they have a good business for lunch. I'm definitely going back!! read more

I'm doing Laundry next door, popped in for a bite to eat. Prices are high compared to portion size. Dine in orders bring chips & salsa to table Charge for 2nd order of chip's even when buying Beans to dip chip's! Bean's are ice cold! I eat at Mexican restaurant everyday! Never get this kind of service. Not a Recommended Restaurant! I'd go out of my way, to stay away from this restaurant. read more

Went there before a football game, service was fast, staff was nice, food was AMAZING! I got the beef chimichanga with a large horchata, and it was all great! The table comes with complimentary chips and two different kinds of salsa. If you are in the Westmont area, you NEED to check this place out. Also the beans were very well cooked and not overtly watery. read more

I wish I could give negative stars. Customer service is horrid, food isn't good either, guess it matches the staff. I will never come here again, and I urge you not to. read more

Not worth it. Horrible service with food to match. Our pickup order was about $80 not including the nice tip that was left. Part of the order was missing and when we called about the food and missing items, they kept acting as if they couldn't hear or understand me. They said there was nothing they could do about it. read more

Nice folks cooking authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices. The smallish interior hardly reflects the big flavor of their freshly-prepared tacos and burritos, which are the only menu items I've had the pleasure of sampling, so far. The fact that this quaint restaurant is located in the same little shopping center as my favorite laundromat is a bonus, since I can grab a great lunch while doing a few loads of laundry, which is definitely a "WIN-WIN". One of these evenings I'll definitely have to bring a date back for a nice sit-down dinner and check out some of the other items on their fairly good-sized menu. Hungry for REAL Mexican food? Forget the chain places and check out Taqueria El Ranchito next time. Your taste buds AND your wallet will be glad you did. read more

This place was so frickin awesome!!!! I asked for a margarita but they don't have a license, and I am so glad my taste buds could experience the masterpieces that were served to me. I had the pozole and a chorizo gordita. Soooooooo gooood!!! read more

Hands down the best taqueria I've been too no doubt. They have the greatest tacos al pastor that are to DIE for. I recommend all my friends this place for Mexican food and they're never disappointed read more

Super friendly staff! only been here twice and both times have been a pleasure. I came back 2 weeks after the first time and the server right away remembered me and was so nice. I'm new the area so it's nice to know the community is so friendly. The food is great and at such great prices. Truly a hidden gem! read more

Best Authentic Mexican Food Ever!!!!! They Definitely Will Keep Me, My Family & Friends Business Forever!!!

Ill start off with I usually go to Los Burritos Tapatios right around the corner which opens up at 10, only reason I didn't today was because this place opened up at 9. At Los Burritos I pay $6.99 for a giant burrito, sometimes hard to finish, at Taqueria I just paid $8.99 for a burrito, half the size and 70% of it was lettuce... steak wasn't all that good either, I recommend to anyone wanting Mexican food to wait that extra hour, it'll save you money and satisfaction... read more

This hidden gem has fantastic options for all at a great price!! You can't go wrong! I especially love the shrimp fajitas

Only one of the three dinners that I ordered was originally delivered. After I called, the remaining 2 dinners were delivered about half an hour later. Unfortunately that still wasn't my complete order. It's now been over 2 hours and I still don't have my complete order. I have called the restaurant several times and keep being told that it will be sent out as soon as they can. Frankly, for mediocre food, this is totally unacceptable. I will not order from here again. read more

For me, there are better places in the area for Mexican. I tried this place again after a couple year hiatus because I liked their gorditas in the past when it was Taqueria El Pulpo. Tried a gordita (pollo) and a taco (asada) and left unimpressed. read more

Quality Mexican food for modest price. Service staff are nice folks, and their red hot sauce is FIRE. readily beats the other two Mexican joints in the area. Wish they were open til 4am, but the flavor makes up for the loss. read more

Unfortunately for us everything we ordered was not good at all We felt as though Nothing tasted fresh. We ordered a few tacos and sopes. The meat was tender just very bland. The beans were watery, and rice was so so it had pieces of potato which was different. A big disappointment was the Horchata ! (tasted watered down and had a funny soap taste). The only thing I'm thinking for how awful the food was is we ordered an hour before closing although I have had Mexican from places that stay open till 3am and are way better. read more

been here a few times now and it's just your simple hole in the wall Mexican joint with good food. Nothing special about the menu in terms of branching away from the ordinary, but what they do, they do well. One of my go to places when I'm looking for fresher Mexican vs Taco Bell. read more

I was thrilled with their fresh veggies and their salsa. Everything was very tasty. I had a vegetarian torta and pico de gallo on the side.
