El Burrito Loco

Our «go to» late night taco place. Food is always fresh, hot and delicious. Have tried almost everything on the menu all being authentic. Love this place!

I eat here all the time. The steak torta and avocado tostada are my usual order, and they are always fresh and delicious.

The schedule is wrong. I have call 30 min before the restaurant closes and they don’t answer the phone. The food is good, unless you’re one the last customers before they close.

I’ve been coming here since I was red-​eyed teenager getting the munchies at 1:30 in the morning on a Friday night back in the late 90s.
First thing you should know is that they have more food than any other Mexican place that I’ve ever seen. I like to describe it as the Mexican equivalent of a Greek restaurant. Most of it is pretty good. You should definitely a variety of things on the menu. Back when I was a night owl, I would only ever get 2 things: either the nachos locos or a burrito.
The nachos locos are amazing, but be prepared for the chips to get soggy by the time you get to the bottom of it. On top of the chips is ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and some refried beans. I’ve never been a huge fan of lettuce on nachos, but I make an exception for them here.
The burritos are, or rather used to be, huge. They’re still really big, but they have definitely gone down in size. I like the burritos, but they’re not my favorite. They’re very often under seasoned and the lettuce is too finely chopped so it mushes up quickly.
They also have a variety of weird stuff that you just don’t find anywhere else: freshly squeezed orange juice, a machine that makes a variety of hot chocolate drinks, corn in a cup (which is a delicious mix of corn, mayonnaise, and parmesan cheese — trust me it’s good).
And it’s reasonably priced and open late. That’s what keeps me coming back for more.

PINCHE COMIDA QUE NO SIRVE! Ohhhh I’m sorry let me translate that in english., FU#$ING NASTY ASS FOOD!!! Why 2 stars might u ask? Because I like the all you can drink horchata! THATS IT! Let me start by saying I live close by so I take the back route behind the restaurant, and what I found was NASTY!!! So I drove behind the place and standing next to the dumpster in his apron was the cook with other employees smoking. I mean his apron was SUPER dirty and appearance was awful, standing next to the dumpster talking! The only thing I kept asking myself was OH LORD does he at least take it off to use the bathroom??? Whatever I take my risk go in and order. Place looks like crap but still take the risk and order. Staff is super friendly, no complain there. Now the menu has a good selection but maybe a little too much. Too much can be bad, find a few good things and stick to that, but what do I know. Back to my food, I ordered 2 steak tacos and one pastor taco (rice & beans). I literally was spitting out the chunks of fat on the steak, it was disgusting! My pastor taco was ok but I’ve had better. The rice had no flavor and the beans im pretty sure are from a can. My husband ordered the steak burrito, he also said he has had better, he’s not that picky (he’ll eat about anything) lol so yeah I mean I haven’t tried much but honestly I don’t think I want to. Mexican restaurants are every where, and if you suck the first time… I’m moving on!!!

So I usually order from El Burrito Loco in Bolingbrook and even recommend it to friends. I am a disabled customer and all of a sudden, today they refuse to bring my order out to the car like normal. The rude attendant on the phone told me the order was ready and the price, in perfect English, but when I politely asked if the order could be brought to my car, she said she couldn’t understand what I was saying, and abruptly hung up on me! Not good service from a place I have long supported and ate at quite frequently.

Great mexican for a great price.
Been comin here since high school and it’s delicous every time. Nothing bad to say about it !

The steak burrito was amazing but the service was sluggish and the place needed to be wipe down (like floors, door handles, tables, seats the hot sauces). I’ve worked in food service to know some people are lazy when it comes to cleanliness but when we asked for the horchata dispenser to be refilled… She scooped it out of a large dirty bucket of horchata using a smaller bucket and half her arm was covered in horchata. My boyfriend still drank it but would have like to have never witness that.

I love this place! Everything is so fresh. I could anything from a burrito to a quesadilla to a salad! No complaints what so ever. I wish you guys had a location near the indiana area. hint hint lol

I love their food, great prices… but last night I saw a cock roach at the window.

My husband loves this place. This is the 2^nd time I’ve eaten from there. Last time I had nachos and guacamole, which both were excellent. However, tonight’s meal was less than stellar. I asked for mild stuff, as chilli peppers and me do not agree. However, I guess mild means bland to them. Everything tasted so bland and non-​descript. The meat was tender, but under-​seasoned. Not to mention they had run out of guacamole tonight, so I got a tiny bit on my burrito bowl. Their store is about 100 ft from a Mexican grocery store, which either a. sells avocados or b. guacamole. I won’t be eating there again, but I’m sure hubby will be back.

My fiancé and I moved to Illinois recently from San Diego. We have tried a couple of taco shops in the area to remind us of home. El burrito loco is pretty good. This is our second time, where we discovered they will deliver in a certain radius from the store… score!
My better half ordered a chorizo and egg burrito, three chicken tacos, and I got a veggie burrito. His chorizo and egg burrito was very good, and I know this because his burrito was misplaced in my labeled veggie burrito container. My burrito was missing one of the key ingredients, so I was rather disappointed. Finally, three tacos were ordered, but we only received ONE. One. The one we received was very good.
We know this shop produces great food, and we spent extra to get it delivered. IF we go back, we will pick up the order. I only eat Mexican food every few months, so I was really looking forward to my dinner… But man, I’m more disappointed than stoked due to the experience…

This place is awesome. I had the steak burrito – it was massive. The rate was amazing and the salsa verde was just the right spicy.

My husband and I had a taste for Mexican food and seeing as I havent been to El Burrito Loco since my «I need to sober up food» days we decided to give this place a go. I remembered it being good… but really after alcohol what DOESNT taste good? First off, maybe it was the time we came but I will call it unorganized chaos. I needed to pay with my card and got the «you dont have cash??» question from the woman ringing us up.
After awhile someone comes back with my card, I signed, and we waited. And waited. We see a take out bag on the counter that was picked up and put behind them in the warmer. My husband assumed they were waiting on something else for the order. So about 10 minutes go by my husband asks about the bag that apparently they never gave us bc they thought we hadnt paid yet. They asked for the receipt… never got. So for about 10 minutes we were waiting for our food that was just sitting there, with our one year old, oh yeah it then starts to pour outside. Lovely. Get home and my taco tortillas are so soggy it was so hard to eat. No sour cream in the bag, hope I didnt pay for it… let me check my recei… oh thats right. Never got one. My husband liked his food but I think overall I may pass next time. What a mess.

Called this establishment once to talk to the manager Lisa. Lisa was very unprofessional, rude, and not friendly. I have been coming to this location for a while now, I never had a bad meal here, but now I won’t ever come back or spend my money at EL Burrito Loco. I don’t know what it is about women managers, but they have this attitude they own you and the world. I won’t ever come back here or eat here at the bolingbrook location. I would rather go to the bloomingdale area anyway.

With the exception of the CRAZY high sodium. In the meat… Yummm. It is so salty you taste that before the flavor. But dollar for dollar… Soo with it. Large portions… Good presentation. Huge variety. 2. Types of poppers. Clean. Our order taker knew the menu and walked through out order with us. Nice. Ppl in and out. Constant flow of take out. 2 ckn taco w/​cilantro added, lg quac w/​chips, med pop & a beer, chimichanga dinner (w/​beans & rice) side of sour cream and order of poppers. $ 33.77 do worth it. Salt & all.

I have been a fan of El Burrito Loco for years. It’s a no-​frills, storefront restaurant that has excellent food! We’ve had soups, tacos, guacamole — it’s all fresh, tasty and affordable. The service is fast and friendly — even though they act like they’ve never had anyone order bean (frijoles) tacos before — it’s an ordeal to explain that I don’t want any MEAT on my tacos and that happens every single time we order from here.
Their food is great when carried out but they have a nice sized, comfortable dining room if you want to eat in. Great local place.

Great food and fast, I love the steak burrito!

Holy VACA, Batman! This is the hot spot for family night on Fridays. Lots of Hispanic families in here. I sensed this was a good thing. I could not believe how busy this place was at 7:00 p.m.
I ordered a chicken chimichanga suiza and some chips with a side of guacamole. This was way too much food for one person, but I’m not complaining. I spent $ 12, and I ate more than ¾ of the chimi and I have some chips and guacamole leftover. The chimichanga wasn’t as crispy as I’d prefer, but I think it de-​crisps a little when they melt the cheese. The guacamole was good, but not Chipotle good.
The to-​go service was slow. If I wasn’t as hungry as I was, feeling like my stomach was eating me from the inside out, I would’ve been a little more patient.
I noticed another customer being indecisive when ordering. I overhead the manager/​owner tell her, «It’s okay, if you don’t like it, we will change it.» A few minutes later, the guy went over to her table to ask how she liked her food.
Next time I’ll try the horchata. What was I thinking?

I liked it! With respect to some of the previous reviews, I’m not sure how some found this to be expensive. My wife and I had a filling dinner for under $ 22. The ingredients tasted fresh. The meat was just fine. Not crazy seasoned and spicy, but good.
I liked my sopes very much. I was sad that I didn’t see the hochota (sp … rice water) dispenser (almost about to poke me in the eye), until after I filled my cup with soda. Extensive menu.
Great service!
No, we didn’t order french fries. But, then why would someone go to a Mexican place and expect excellent french fries? McDonalds is across the parking lot. Go over there.
This was my first time here. We were probably the only patrons there, who spoke English as our first language — many Latin customers. I might be a bit simplistic in my view, but I take it to be a good sign.
Also had the bonus of watching soccer on two of the TVs in the restaurant.
