    Love Taco & Burrito Express! We eat from here almost every other week & have dined in. So good!

    My low rating is not based on food which is constantly good in quality and taste. This is an expression of my disapproval of their customer service. My family of 4 has been regulars at taco and burrito express. During our last couple  of visits, I got the sense that they were wilfully ignoring us. Instead of serving us, they served customers who arrived after us. They are one of those establishments where the rule is not 'first come first served",, but "white first". Getting something like a glass of water or a carryout box needed multiple requests.

    If you are white, this will be great for you. For non whites, I recommend somewhere else if you want to maintain your dignity.

    I seldom write a review after just one visit but I do have to say that our meal was substantial, tasty and visually appealing - and that has compelled me to write this review.

    I heard Rick Bayless say that the majority of our Chicagoland Mexican style cooking is from central Mexico region. And ever since Nuevo León on 18th street (that's Pilsen for us on the Northshore) burned down, I've been searching for a Mexican restaurant with that similar taste. Unfortunately, I've been disappointed time and time again, until my recent trip here!

    Wow, the taste of the dishes is almost a complete match with Nuevo León and their chefs come from the Mexico City region.

    Everything was muy delicioso (very delicious), from the big steak burrito, to the little steak burrito, to the enchilada, to the torta - you get the idea, it was really good and completely eaten. The shrimps on our tacos had grill marks on them - pay attention to the details my amigos. They must use real lard in their cooking because the refried beans were silky and buttery.

    I'm looking forward to coming back here when I'm in the area and the hostess was so kind and sweet. The food taste better when you're treated respectfully, wouldn't you agree?!?

    A little off topic - the new Nuevo León is on 26th street. I think I'll make it over there when I'm serving for jury duty.

    2/20/2019 lunch w 3 colleagues. Two people ordered chicken quesadillas and two ordered chicken enchiladas. We all cleaned our plates. The enchiladas were dinners with beans and rice for just under $10 a plate. Service was quick. Parking is free. The place could use a little spiffing up. The chairs are rather worn out. No "cush" left in the cushions so sometimes you feel like your sitting little low.

    I love this little gem! It's a tiny little hole in the wall that is so good! Great prices and great food! Always get chips and salsa when you walk in, has a nice tiny kick but without destroying your mouth. My go to's are typically the enchiladas (all are great!), flautas, burritos, tacos and chimichangas. The servers are all very kind. Highly recommend this place! If you're looking for a fancy place, this isn't it but if you want great food.. come here!
