HAHAHAHA I can't believe to good reviews on this place! Â Are you all drunk LOL?! Â In all seriousness this food is a drunk man or woman's paradise, but during the day when you are sober it is just garbage!
The meat is the worst feature, bland, dry, tasteless garbage. Â Someone said best place to get Mexican food, WHAT!? Â The Mexican place by Food 4 Less is 20 times better! Â This place has very generic garbage food and is so not worth the money unless you are hammered. Â And you know what if you are hammered, there is a Taco Bell right up to street. Â Taco Bell is waaaaayyy better than this garbage! Â
Did you all know that about 10-15 years ago they were busted for serving dog meat? Â I know because I worked next door to them at Marchellonis when it was still open. Â No this is not a rumor it is fact, what else can you expect from the Mcdonalds of "authentic" Mexican food. Â LOL this stuff I crap!
Holy VACA, Batman! Â This is the hot spot for family night on Fridays. Â Lots of Hispanic families in here. Â I sensed this was a good thing. Â 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. Â This was way too much food for one person, but I'm not complaining. Â I spent $12, and I ate more than 3/4 of the chimi and I have some chips and guacamole leftover. Â The chimichanga wasn't as crispy as I'd prefer, but I think it de-crisps a little when they melt the cheese. Â The guacamole was good, but not Chipotle good.
The to-go service was slow. Â 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. Â
I noticed another customer being indecisive when ordering. Â I overhead the manager/owner tell her, "It's okay, if you don't like it, we will change it." Â A few minutes later, the guy went over to her table to ask how she liked her food. Â
Next time I'll try the horchata. Â What was I thinking?
I liked it! Â With respect to some of the previous reviews, I'm not sure how some found this to be expensive. Â My wife and I had a filling dinner for under $22. Â The ingredients tasted fresh. Â The meat was just fine. Â Not crazy seasoned and spicy, but good.
I liked my sopes very much. Â 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. Â Extensive menu.
Great service!
No, we didn't order french fries. Â But, then why would someone go to a Mexican place and expect excellent french fries? Â McDonalds is across the parking lot. Â Go over there.
This was my first time here. Â We were probably the only patrons there, who spoke English as our first language - many Latin customers. Â 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.
The reviews for this place kind of goes like "you might get touched by some drunk blue collar patrons, but the food is worth it." It's not. It's just gross. And when you go to a place like this the only reason you go is to find some good food, not for the ambiance or the service. It was edible, the vegetables were fresh, but the end result was a poorly seasoned greasy mess. Many better options in the area. Also, to clarify their French fries are not fresh cut, they are pre frozen unsalted Krinkle. The guacamole was good, but far from impressive. Also, everything is super overpriced.
Review Source:Good? Yes, it was delicious. Worth the price? No way.
Five dollars for a baby burrito that, for two dollars more, I could go to Chipotle and get a way better, bigger burrito. Also, when they ask you if you want avocado and sour cream, they don't tell you that its because they charge $1.50 extra. The horchata is good, but really, its rice water, sugar, and cinnamon. I can't speak for other locations, but the staff was very slow at this one too, and they charged us for an extra burrito and had severe difficulty refunding it.
Definitely not coming back here.
Their chimichangas are so good! Â I love their Horchata, too.
I've been going here since I was in high school (2000-2004) and their food is still amazing!
Everything is fresh - I've never had stale tortillas or sour meat. Â The veggies on the side are fresh and crisp.
Some of their staff seem to speak Spanish exclusively, so the language barrier exists, but the food is worth the hassle.
2 1/2 stars at most. After reading some reviews, I decided to come in and try this place myself. The people (staff) were very nice to deal with. The meal came out pretty quick. The baby burrito was good-sized and sour cream was an extra $.40. No problem. The place itself was clean. My order was done pretty quickly as well. So far, so good.
I ordered the chicken burrito. The size was decent. The ingredients (onions, lettuce, etc) were very fresh (and cold to give the hot-cold contrast). The sad thing for me is that the dressings were better than the meat. The meat was BLAND!!!! In fact, it tasted almost watery. It was almost like it was boiled and not seasoned. Heck, you can boil a chicken but still add some seasoning after the fact. It wasn't done here, at least on this visit. The hot sauce was OK.
Not the worst, but there are better in Bolingbrook. Taco Diner, Bucho's & Zacataco's come to mind. I haven't been to Racho Santa Fe since its reopening but if it was as good as I remember, I'll be back there as well. In my humble opinion, Loco doesn't measure up to the others burrito places Bolingbrook has to offer. I'm not sure if this is privately/company ownerd or franchise so that may factor in.
The most authentic mexican in boilingbrok and one of the best in the Chicago area. Â The food is great and very well priced, their burrito's are the best I have ever had with no gringo rice filling. Â Also their salsa's are made fresh, they have a milder red salsa and a hotter green tomatio based salsa. Â In addition their Nacho's locos is out of this world using queso blanco instead of typicl Nacho cheese sauce. Â Their sope's, enchildas, and ceviche tostada are amazing, also for real authenticity their menundo is a must try.
Unfortanetly, Bill O's comment is true, late at night their are a lot of blue collar drunk Mexicans that will give your date some unwanted attention. Â May want to eat their in a group late at night, however, from 11am to 7pm I have never run into that problem.
We had dinner and movie plans with friends that live in Bolingbrook. We ultimately ended up running late so we opted for this place as a sit down dinner would make us late for our movie. The place was pretty crowded and most of the people were hispanic and as such I took this as a good sign. However, I think the crowds and good reviews are in part to the QUANTITY of food you get. For 20.00 my husband and I got two steak fajitas, two steak tacos, a steak torta, rice, fries, an order of corn plus two drinks. Not bad at all for the price, however I didn't care for the meal. The fajitas were VERY bland and somewhat dry. I added hot peppers, sour cream, taco sauce etc to try and pull some sort of flavor out of my meal and ultimately was unable to do so. It basically tatsed like slices of unseasoned pot roast on tortillas. The staff was friendly and service was quick however they very slyly attempt to nickel and dime you. When I ordered the two steak fajitas I was offered sour cream, guac, avacados, and tomatoes. Each one would have been an additional charge. Most likely adding another one to two dollars to the meal total. I would not come back even if in the area. Large portions and very budget friendly but also not very good.I imagine if one were out drunk and partying till 2am this would be some good eatin! But I personally found it pretty bad.
Review Source:Great Steak Tacos & Burritos, and great Horchata! Â Nachos Locos are excellent! Â They've cleaned this location up nicely, and it's a bit larger than other ones I've visited. Â I have to agree with Bill O., however----he is correct about the comments made by some of the "men" there, especially during late hours. Â I've also noticed it was sometimes hard to communicate with some of the males there taking orders behind the counter......
Review Source:My new roomie and I had to feed our hungry tummies before heading to Ikea to empty our wallets on new furnishings. Â This place more than filled my hungry tummy. Â I didn't even eat dinner that night. Â I think maybe I ate a popsicle...or that could have been the night I drank whiskey for dinner... anyway.. El Burrito Loco's burritos are huge, the tacos are jammed with fillings, and the small guacamole looked like some kind of avocado explosion. Â It also tasted great. Â This is an excellent, affordable alternative to the chain places directly surrounding Ikea. Â
PS- Free refills on horchata
