Prepare to eat a lot of food. They served chips, salsa and vegetables plus with entree a caldo de pollo it's included. I ate a chicken burrito dinner. The chicken was good and had a lot of flavor. My boss order combination dinner and he thought that was okay but a little bland. The salsa was a little spicy but delicious. Â Overall is a good Mexican place.
Review Source:A co-worker was raving about this place, so my fiance and I decided to check it out!
By the looks of the outside, you'd be really put-off. Â It looks like a small fast food restaurant on the outside, but don't let that put you off! Â All of the waitstaff seemed extremely friendly and helpful! Â Good refills on water, amazzzing margaritas(HUGE!), and yummy chips and salsa. The salsa is quite flavorful with a nice kick to it, and the chips warm.
I got the Taco Dinner platter- steak. Â The steak was tender and the tacos flavorful. Â My fiance got some platter with a stuffed poblano pepper, steak taco, and tamale and he was in love!
All in all, we will definitely be back for the food and margaritas on a regular basis.
The only downfall is the pricing is a bit higher than most Mexican places in the area. Â However, I think the amount of food you get makes up for the price. Â Big portions for the money. Â I think our total bill was $40 for two of us for our two meals, plus margaritas. Â Worth the money though!
comfort food. Â I go or make my hubby go here to get the soup when I am sick. Â I love the soup they give you before the entree. love the pickled veggies. Â love it love it. Â
food is hit or miss, most of the time hit. Â sometimes it lacks flavor, but nothing a spoon of salsa cant fix! Â price is decent.
I have been coming to Bucho's for lunch for years now and have always had a great meal. Be advised if you are looking for fine dining with elegant décor, keep looking.  Bucho's is not it. If you are looking for good Mexican food with quick service and large portions this is the place. Â
When I come in I almost always order the same thing, the burrito lunch with a XX or a Margareta. Right away they bring out chips and home made salsa and some strange pickled vegetable plate. They also bring out home made chicken soup. Â The soup is wonderful! The salsa is great but I have never touched the vegetables. Â They kind of creep me out for some reason. The food is brought out really fast which is great since I am always in a hurry to get back to the office. Â All and all Bucho's really good lunch spot.
We went to this place on a whim. Â We were hungry and in the area and saw positive reviews on yelp. We ordered two "medium" sangrias. They were huge! Not to mention delicious. We also got the quest fundido with poblanos which was also really good. It was a big melty blob of cheese with poblanos and beans. It could be a dish in itself. It came with fresh tortillas. It was a lot of cheese, which is always a good thing.
After eating the appetizer our waitress brought us each a cup of chicken soup which smelled really good with lime. I'm a vegetarian so I didn't eat it but my boyfriend ate both his and mine. I got the cheese enchiladas and the mole sauce on top was addicting. Â I could go for more right now. My boyfriend got the steak tacos but it had a fancy name I can't remember. Â He really liked them. Everything here was pretty good. Â And the service was really friendly. I liked our waitress. She kept suggesting we drink more sangria! Always a good thing :)
Feeling a little under the weather today. Stomach's a bit on the queasy side. Wish I had some of Mom's homemade chicken soup (which she'd gladly make if I asked, but it's lunchtime and I need something NOW). I've been working in Romeoville for 6-7 years, and nothing I know of here can compare (and I've been just about everywhere this town has to offer). Still, I'm hopeful of a hidden gem I've not discovered yet.
So I Google "Best chicken soup in Romeoville" and (no surprise) the first place that comes up is NOT in Romeoville. Who wants to drive 18 minutes (one way) with a queasy stomach for a bowl of soup? But since all other options that come to mind just makes me feel queasier, I decide to go for it.
And a wonderful choice it was!! Though I wonder if it's fair to rate a place 5 stars on just one bowl of soup, I'll have to go back soon and see (and update my review). But for now, the 5 stars will stick because that was absolutely the best chicken soup I've had in a long, long time (sorry, Mom).
I was working in Downers Grove and a friend was in Joliet. We decided to meet in the middle, and Buchos was the first thing to pop up with positive reviews. I was pleased. It is a little more dining room than I was looking for. For example, there was no bar seating. But they do serve alcohol. So I had a XX. I was about 20 minutes ahead of my friend, so I helped myself to the chips and some better-than-average complimentary salsa.
I ordered some enchiladas. They were delicious, and plenty of food for me. If I had eaten just a few more chips before hand, I could have saved enough for lunch the next day.
This isn't someplace I would go out of my way for. But I liked it fine and next time I am in a similar situation I will probably propose the same deal. Plus it is right next to some big mall and IKEA, so I can come up with an excuse to come home with some pants or another bookshelf.
Early Saturday night dinner before we caught a movie and the parking lot at Bucho's was packed. Always a good sign.
The space itself is not fancy at all, but was clean and friendly.
Service was good, waitress was attentive. Food was good as well. And let me tell you, there was plenty of it. Chips, salsa, a bowl of pickled vegetables, and a cup of chicken soup all served before your entree. Â AND Entrees come with a salad in addition to refried beans and rice.
And the "small" margarita (frozen, mango) was HUGE. Tasty, too.
Enchiladas suizas were  fantastic, cheesy and the sauce had a nice kick. Tried a bit of the boyfriend's Carne asada and it was excellent, too.
Hey, I like good food and good booze, especially when there is plenty of it, and I love a good value, but the sheer amount of peripheral food in addition to your entree  was kinda nuts and a little bit unnecessary but hey, if that's the only complaint to have then life is pretty good.
If you're heading to the Promenade for shopping or a movie, go a little bit off the beaten path, avoid the regular old chain restaurants and try Bucho's. It's worth it.
Great Experience. We were looking for a place to eat Mexican food and decided to give them a try. We originally wanted to go to Uncle Julio's since its our favorite. Unfortunately it was over an hour wait there so we took a chance on Buchos. It is now my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Great food, great service and outstanding margaritas! Our server was awesome. Its a small little place but great ambiance. We will be back!
Review Source:Driving down Bolingbrook Road and seeing Bucho's from afar, you would imagine it's just another shit-hole restaurant. From the outside, the looks aren't appealing. But grab a hold of that steering wheel and pull your vehicle into the Bucho's parking lot. You won't be disappointed.
Walking into Bucho's is like walking into a random, little hacienda down in Mexico. The restaurant is decorated with traditional Mexican decor. Yes, it's a little on the dive-y side, but look past it and move on to the menu.
I've only been to Bucho's for lunch, so I've only indulged in their food - since having some (or even one) margs on a lunch break are a big no-no in my company. The lunch menu offers a wide variety of combination plates, which all come with rice and beans ((or rice and Mexican potatoes)). A lunch combo will cost you about 7 or 8 bucks. That's it. So you can have your tacos, enchiladas, burrito, chile rellenos, tortas, or whatnot, and your rice and beans. For cheap. And you'll be stuffed to the gills. If you're appetite isn't that large, you can purchase items a la carte. A taco will cost you a couple bucks, while an enchilada will cost you 3. The steak tacos and cheese enchiladas are a couple of faves...
Since my transition into vegetarianism, I was sad to recently learn the only vegetarian taco option was avocado, lettuce and tomato. Meh. It was okay. It did the trick...especially since cheese filled chile rellenos or cheese filled enchiladas didn't seem appealing at that moment. So vegetarians beware - you won't find your fancy tofu tacos here.
Service is almost always fantastic. Upon being seated you're brought a basket of chips and salsa, a cup of chicken noodle soup, and some pickled veggies. ((So. freaking. good.)) The servers are very friendly and make sure your tiny glasses of water are filled at all times. When dining in groups, I've almost always had the check split for us - without asking. However, I've made the mistake of ordering a small side of sour cream and ended up getting charged $1.50 for about a cup of it. Literally - one measurable cup. Yikes. That would have been nice to tell me.
Good food, good service, and super affordable prices. What more could you ask for?? Vamos a Bucho's!
Dude, they made an awesome Mexican restaurant out of an old Wendy's. That's, awesome.
Their interior still has plenty of space. The staff is very friendly. They make pretty damn good margaritas, plus their HUUUUUUGE!
Their total service is superb. I love that they give you salsa (actually spicy), some pickled vegetables, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup on the house. It's great when a place goes above and beyond to give you a little something extra. Truly makes you feel appreciated, taken care of, and almost like your distant family.
I get something different every time. Their guacamole is very good, as is the queso fundido. Go ahead, go all out and put all the ingredients in it. That can practically be your meal. The enchiladas, tampiquena, variety of tacos, and just about everything else is good.
Great service, affordable prices, magical marg's, good Mexican food, and just an overall fun place to go and have lunch or dinner.
An excellent little Mexican restaurant that seems like it was setup in an old Wendy's or something. Food comes in good sized portions and features all of the Mexican standards you come to expect at places like this. Â Nice sized portions and you also get homemade salsa and chips at your table along with pickled vegetables. Be sure to order a (small) Margarita, they are excellent.
There is nothing fancy happening inside but the decor has a nice Mexican flair and every time I have been there TV's have had Mexican soap operas playing. Â Overall just a great local restaurant for Mexican food.
Most dishes hover around the $9-14 range, but if you get something with steak or a bit higher end preparation you are looking at the $14-18 range. I don't believe there is anything on the menu more than $25.
You can also do take out and most meals are ready within 15-20 minutes.
Food is great, they give you chips, salsa and a bowl of carrots and veggies upon arrival. If you order a meal you get a bowl of chicken veggie soup which is a great starter. By the time my food came I didn't have much room left for it! Food is reasonably priced but drinks are a little pricey. The service is great though. Never a disappointment here!
Review Source:It is very hard to find a Mexican restaurant that has great food, drinks and service! Every place I've been to has some good food and some bad. NOT BUCHO'S!! Every time I come here I am really satisfied. Their food is amazing. They have a server named Alicia who is always very welcoming and remembers me and my friends! They also have excellent margaritas and tequila sunrises!! Prices are very reasonable (Except for the drinks which are well worth it)...
Review Source:This place has great Mexican food. Authentic and delicious! The margaritas are yummy as well. It's doesn't offer much in terms of ambiance. It's not a 4- or 5-star eating establishment, but the food is on point and sometimes that's all that matters. This is my Mexican spot of choice until further notice!
Review Source:You shouldn't be disappointed for casual Mexican dining w/o the chain restaurant feel. Â Service is great as others have noted too.
For starters: Â They serve chips and salsa with every meal. Â The chips have a smoky flavor, which is a nice twist to the usual. Â The salsa is hot, so skip it if you don't like spicy salsas. Â I thought it was great. Â They also bring out a small bowl of chicken vegetable soup before your meal. Â It's damn good! Â The unexpected free starter is the sampling of carrots, onions and other vegetables that are marinated in a vinegar base of some kind. Â I've never had this before and really liked it.
The meal: I ordered a beef combination meal of one taco, tostada and enchilada. Â All three are good, but nothing too exciting. Â The taco might have been the best since it was served with a soft corn shell, my favorite for tacos. Â I don't get the "tostada" and should have skipped ordering it since I am not a huge fan of these any way. Â It came with the combo, so there you go. Â The enchilada was good, but dry like many I've had before at other places. Â All in all, still a good and very good portion size.
Margarita: Â I ordered a traditional "medium" margarita on the rocks with salt. Â My favorite local Mexican restaurant makes a home-made version, so this didn't stand-up against it very well at all. Â I don't like pre-mixed margaritas now and this clearly was one. Â However, if pre-mix is o.k. in your book, then this will do just fine. Â Nice size and a decent mix.
Summary: Â Good casual Mexican food with great service. Thanks!
This place is a nice little restaurant in Bolingbrook. From the outside, the building is fairly unassuming. In fact, it appears to have been a Taco Bell many years ago. The inside is colorful and dim. The settings and tables are all modest, but clean.
The service was pretty quick. Chips and salsa and water were brought to our table right away and the waitress was quick to take our order. The salsa was much hotter than I expected, but tasty. Their beer selection was better than the average Mexican restaurant. We ordered Pacifico and Sol. I never see Sol anywhere so I was pumped about that.
Before the meal we each received a bowl of chicken soup. It was absolutely delicious. I found a bone in mine, but as this was a homemade soup, I was not bothered. The entrees arrived quickly and the portions were fairly generous.
The food was good, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was amazing. Don't get me wrong, I will be eating here again, but the price is a bit high for what you are getting.
The three stars are in a big part for the relaxing, quiet atmosphere, the nice beer selection, and the friendly service. I won't say I didn't like the food, because I did, but I don't think it was four star food. I like this place enough to go back, but it probably won't be my number one hang out.
This mexican restaurant is ok. If you want to stay in the burbs, this is workable, but don't get too excited. I read all the other reviews, and thought maybe I was missing something. No. Personally, it is not the best Mexican place I have been too. If you want Mexican, you need to really go where it makes sense - not Bollingbrook.
In terms of my meal - the enchiladas were very dry and bland. The guacamole had way too many onions for guacamole. The margaritas were good, which was helpful. But overall, the atmosphere is a tough one - you felt like you were in a refab taco bell...they did do a good job with what they had, but again, I have to defer to my staple - Les Reyes in Aurora....sorry...
I have passed this place I don't know how many times but never stopped in. Unlike some of the other places I've reviewed, this is more a restaurant versus a carry out place. That's not a big deal.
Once I step in, I take a look around the place. The first thing I noticed was it's pretty tight in spacing. The place was clean. People seemed to enjoy their meals (based on seeing them eat or empty plates on a table). So far, so good. Knowing I was going the takeout route, the woman at the counter placed no hurry on me. Even though the place wasn't that busy when I went, some places will still try to rush you out the door. Not here.
I asked a few basic questions and the woman answered them with no complaints. She, in fact was, very friendly. So as good as the other items like the fajitas, enchiladas and tacos looked good (based on what I saw being brought out to customers), I went with the old reliable chicken burrito. The prices are almost in step with most (food-wise). The burrito was a little more expensive than other places ($6.50-plus tax) but you did get sour cream as a standard filling (and no complaints to add onions). I had to say I'm glad I stopped here because this was one solid burrito. Properly seasoned and the perfect balance of all the fillings.
My only complaint (if you want to call it that) is the sauce. Not so much the sauce. Let me explain. I asked the woman at the counter for the hottest sauce they had. Now when I ask for the hottest sauce at a Mexican place, I assume they understood it as wanting the spiciest. What I got was a hot sauce- literally. A hot (as in temperature but nice tasting) adobo sauce. I could make myself more clear next time I visit because there WILL be a next time for me. Â Another hidden gem!!
This is a  Mexican restaurant in Bolingbrook with a casual atmosphere. So far this is the most authentic place I've come across in the Western Burbs. The atmosphere is pretty typical, nothing too much to  hype about.  You are greeted with friendly staff, warm chips, and some pretty spicy salsa!  They also bring out vegetables in some sort of sweet sauce.
The margaritas were great! We got a pitcher of strawberry margaritas - no complaints! They also have the following flavors: mango, guava, peach, lime, and raspberry!
Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. I ordered the chicken fajitas because I didn't feel like anything deep fried. It came with corn and flour tortillas, guacamole, and melted chihuahua cheese. Â The cheese was fantastic!!! I just wished the fajitas came with a few more topping choices (sour cream for example). Â My husband ordered a Chimichanga with steak and loved it! It wasn't on the menu, but the waitress said that they would be able to make one with no problem. Â
Overall, this place is on our list of "places to go back to". Â The service was great, as were the drinks and food!
