El Famous Burrito

I love Mexican food. All kinds of Mexican food. My husband and I have ventured to many, many Mexican places in the western suburbs, and they all are just ok (with the exception of Bien Trucha, which is stellar). So it may seem blasphemous to have El Famous Burrito be our go-to place for enchiladas and tacos, but it is what it is.

The al pastor tacos there are the bomb diggity. They are overflowing with meat and toppings (pork, cilantro, onions, the way it SHOULD BE), and if you get them with avocado, it is COMPLETELY worth your extra $.60 per taco for the avocado. They put about 1/4 of an avocado into a small taco...I actually end up taking some out and eating it separately, because its so much. I'd rather pay for a substantial amount than for a piddly amount. I always get three tacos when I go there...two tacos, I'm not totally full yet. But three tacos? I'm so full, I'm ready to die.

Be prepared for a total cheese-fest if you get the enchiladas. These puppies are smothered in cheese! I'm not talking sprinkled in a small amount of jack or chihuahua cheese. This is the real deal, a thick slick of white cheese covering the entire amount of enchiladas. I love it.

I did come here one time and order a quesadilla and asked for beef in it, and they were extremely confused. Apparently, the only way to order a quesadilla from them is just with cheese. I wouldn't even bother, it ended up being really small and nothing special for the price.

And for your thirst needs, get the Horchata. They do it right here! Just don't get ice. I know that sounds crazy, but its cold enough on its own and you get more that way :)

This location just rules, ya'll. The tacos are $1.25 on Sundays, Tuesdays, and one other day of the week that I can't remember. We go at least once every two weeks, that's how much we love it! There are so many local places that don't have al pastor tacos, or they just don't do it right. If you love al pastor, hit this place up.

Years later still the best

I used to really like this place.
FYI-Taquitos are made w/ corn tortillas & Flautas are made w/ Four tortillas
I ordered Flautas & got Taquitos. The were so hard & dry I nearly choked to death..
The best thing about this meal was the beans & rice!
Don't settle for cheap & fast when you could have so much better elsewhere.
