If this was a 99¢ taco stand on the side of the road it’s not bad but honestly the place was a total let down. The tortillas tasted as if they were microwaved and the beans were as liquid as water. I ordered online for delivery. They were pretty quick to get here which I was pleased about that but they messed up most of my order. You only get a few spoonfuls of rice and the rice was not authentic at all. It actually looks and tastes exactly like the chicken flavored rice sides that come in a paper pouch for a dollar at the grocery store. Over all I wouldn’t recommend this place.

This place can be hit or miss, but it is very affordable and has a welcoming atmosphere. Vegetable burrito has been consistently good in my opinion. If it’s a convenient stop then it is worth checking out, but not worth a journey by any means.

Whoooo! I was so hungry and was at a party with no food, so I Unilocaled, and found a place that delivers tacos! I called, and asked if they could deliver to my location. They did!!! So I ordered 50 steak tacos. The tacos arrived in 30 minutes beautifully individually wrapped and came with an abundance of sides(cheese, cilantro, onions, and 2 salsas). DANG. This place impressed me. I will order plenty more in the future.

Authentic Mexican food and for a very reasonable price. We were craving good Mexican food and looked for take out options via Grubhub. We order a steak torta and a carnitas dinner plate. They were delicious! I’m Mexican and this place passes the authenticity test. I will definitely order from it again !

I love this place! I use Level Up to pay for most of my take-out food and having this place so near my house was a godsend. The food is great, quick and cheap if you get the specials. The people are super nice and willing to make small talk. It’s kinda tiny but that just makes it more homely, I think. I recommend the Super Burrito with extra steak!

I’d give zero stars if that was an option. Food was terrible. Delivery took an hour and fifteen minutes — unacceptable. This restaurant doesn’t have queso or cheesy sauce — the cheese and bean dip is all beans with a sprinkle of cheese on top, don’t be fooled. All of the food was very poor quality, gross, flavorless, and very greasy. Hated it.

Feel like I need to give this place an honest review. I gave it a shot because it’s the closest taco place to the empty bottle. I want the next person in my situation to understand what’s going on here. Seems like more of a delivery place than a dine-in place. It doesn’t smell good in here. Not a particularly good atmosphere. The food is passable but mediocre. They do have something called a «super duper burrito» which is 2x the price of the super burrito and the waitress cautioned us about ordering it. In the end I was too afraid to give it a shot. To be honest, I would walk a little further to another spot if you’re looking for mexican food when you’re hanging out at empty bottle.

We order from here a lot because the food is usually good, not outstanding, but consistently good. The service however is seriously lacking. We ordered delivery tonight and an hour later we called because it hadn’t arrived. They were not apologetic at all and said they called(the directions were to knock on the door) and then left. What’s the point of special directions of they don’t read them? They also charged us a second delivery fee to come back. We won’t be calling them again anytime soon.

This place is… not good. I’m pretty sure the only reason they get business is because it’s local and there are a ton of other businesses around it and not too many places to eat. I don’t like writing bad reviews but, no.

Guisado de Lengua was not bad. Their super burrito was a little lacking in contents to me. Lots of tortilla, but not enough stuff.

Coming from Southern California, Arizona and Mexico, I’ve experienced the holy trinity of Mexican food. Since moving here I’ve been on the hunt for something anywhere comparable. This place is in my neighborhood so it’s convenient. Is it the best mexican food I’ve ever had? Not by a long shot. But it is tasty and it’ll do. It’s also pretty cheap and they deliver!

I grew up eating homemade Mexican food cooked by my Abuela herself, so I consider myself well versed in Mexican cuisine. I was craving tacos on Friday night and was delighted to discover that El Paisano delivers to the Near North Side through Eat 24– hooray! I wound up getting a chicken burrito and chicken soup– flavorful and tasty. I was craving a burrito a few nights later, so I queued up Eat 24 and ordered a chicken burrito and tamales. This time I was extremely disappointed. I didn’t know it was possible to overcook a tamale. This one was as hard as a rock and I was afraid I’d chip a tooth on it– not an over exaggeration. The chicken in the burrito was gristly and about every fourth bite had cartilage in it– BLEGH.

I love this place, the server is always nice. I always carry out and never had a problem. The super chicken burrito is very good and is sooo huge, it lunch the next day. The chips and red sauce is awesome as well. I will always go back

We ordered a steak burrito and tacos overall okay however steak could have been better! Beans are a little dry.

This place delivers on the beans, rice, and meat, but we’re still looking for a California style taqueria that knows how to supplement all that with fresh tomatoes, avocado, and crema. Maybe just not possible in the midwest.

This is my go-to mexican delivery place in the neighborhood. I have tried many others, but every single one ends up disappointing me, and I say«Why didn’t I just get El Paisano?» I usually get the chimichanga, it’s huge and stuffed with meat! No skimping here, no sir. Their enchiladas are good too. The prices and low delivery limit keeps me coming back. Super consistent.

This is my second review for my second time ordering take out from here. I ordered an XL horchata, elote, chorizo quesadilla and a steak taco.(I had different cravings lol) The only good thing was the horchata. It was perfect, but the elote(in a cup) wasn’t creamy, had too much cheese. I have had real elote in the summer and this did not compare at all. It’s hard to find good elote in the winter. The quesadilla was dry and chewy, and the asada in the taco was dry as well. Didn’t have the right flavor. I wish I ordered something else.

Seriously this place would’ve gotten 2 stars if the burritos weren’t that good! I ordered delivery an hour and half before I want my food because I wanted it during my lunch break. Safe to say that the delivery sucks and was 30 minutes late even though I called 1.30 hrs beforehand! The hell?!! Do carry out and screw delivery!!!

I could take it or leave it. The Good: — Used a groupon, so it was super cheap — 10% off if you chose delivery –Ton of food for little money — Good guacamole — Fast delivery The Bad: — taco shells were hard around the edges — Tamale was horrible. Rock hard, not fresh — Chips were cold

I have eaten here for the past few years due to the proximity to my residence and have noticed subtle changes in the last several months. They increased the prices of their tacos and decreased the protein. I regularly order the chicken fajitas or a burrito but no longer. I think when ordering fajitas all condiments mentioned on the menu should be included. More times than not they have forgotten the guac, sour crème, lime and or 4 tortillas vs the stardard 5. With the burrito, I ordered a regular Ground Beef(Wh/includes potatoes). Usually, I don’t have a problem except recently I have noticed that sometimes the potatoes are way under cooked and the lettuce is soaked in water which cools down the meat. After taking 1 bite, the tortilla collapsed and there was a puddle of water on my plate… absolutely disgusting
