El Burrito Tapatio

I got to eat here again yesterday for the first time in 6 years! Drove straight from O’Hare to Tapatio as soon as my plane landed! NOTHING HAD CHANGED! Even my favorite waitress (who has been there for 20 years) was still there… Yes I indulged in TWO giant burritos! One there and one for dinner) May have to get two more on the way BACK to the airport when I leave! Try to smuggle one of em in my baggage! THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!

If I could give no stars I would. This place does not know what customer service is. Haven’t you guys ever heard of the customer is always right? I placed an order and I said just meat for a steak taco, and they put cheese on it. And then told me I was wrong and that I said that I wanted cheese? No I did not say that. I said just meat. After fighting back and forth they finally gave me what I ACTUALLY asked for. And told me to not mess it up next time! Really profession. I was a regular, and now I will never go there again. They lost my business, and a couple of my friends too.

Place is always busy, which is a good sign! Flavorful meats and everything is served hot as it should be!

This place has always been great! Wonderful family owned restaurant! Always a must when you’re in town or not!

I live close by and it’s always a great choice especially late nights since they are open late. The food is always great. The tacos are always a great choice. Very good food. I recommend this place to everyone.

Great authentic Mexican food… Usually I get steak tacos or steak burrito with easy cilantro, easy onions, & slices of avocado with lime on side. Don’t forget the horchata!

Killer burrito… This is the best place in the area by far.

Best Steak Burrito’s, Large, very tasty and fairly priced. Been going there for years and good every time.

Good olé hangout after a night of hanging out on Michael lane (back in the day). Chips and salsa perfect. Guacamole is a smoother texture with chunks of tomato and onion. Giant chicken burrito was exactly what I’d expect. Chicken, beans, sour cream, guacamole, cheese and lettuce all tucked in one is how I ordered it. The chicken from time to time can use more favoring but other than that it was perfect. Love that they are open late. Good service, never had a problem and I’ve been coming here for about 18 years. The prices for the amount of food you get a are so cheap.

Delicious Mexican food. Staple for the neighborhood!

It is a lot harder to find an awesome burrito place than some might think. Even I used to think just making a greasy burrito at 2 A.M. would taste good but I have been to my fair share of places that I didn’t like. It is even harder to find a good burrito place that is open late in the suburbs but this place is really good.
Located on Lake St. in Addison, IL it is in a convenient location. The place has a decent amount of parking but the lot can fill up very quickly especially late at night when the place us slammed.
When I came here I ordered a large steak burrito. They gave you chips & salsa to eat while you wait for your food. The chips & salsa was very good. They had a red & green sauce & they both tasted great.
The steak burrito came out fairly quickly about ten minutes later. This was pretty quick considering that the place was busy. The burrito portion size was very big. The burrito itself was awesome. It didn’t taste like a big salty grease mess. It had lots of flavor & was delicious.
Overall the staff here was friendly & the place was clean. The food here would also taste good whether it was day or night. I would definitely come here again if I was in the area & was in the mood for a good burrito.

I know the star here is all the burritos and tacos, but on a cold day their soups are amazing! The seafood dishes are delish and if your not wrapped around the fact it’s not a fancy place the food is 5 star flavor !

This place is awesome!!! The staff is nice and the food is really good. I really enjoy the veggie burrito with avocado. I’ll definitely be coming back for breakfast. Yummmm

It’s easy to find a deal on Taco Tuesday, but last night was Monday and I wanted some Mexican food! We drove by and saw a sign for $ 6 burritos. Sign me up!
I ordered the steak burrito (stop judging!), and we got a side of guacamole ($ 5). Since we dined in, we also received complimentary chips and salsa.
The salsa was spicy (nice!) but watery (not nice!). The guac was seasoned alright, but was too purèed for my liking. Too bad it had chunks of tomato instead of onion. And the burrito? Okay, but a bit too much gristle and kind of bland as another reviewer mentioned.
I braved the bathrooms, which were surprisingly clean.
In all, it was A-​OK, but I probably won’t make a second stop.

Not good. Flavorless meat. The salsa is good though. I got a giant chicken burrito. Was super disappointed. It was all very bland. I don’t know how I feel about lettuce and tomato in a burrito. This isn’t like the awesome burritos I’m used to. :(I think I’ll pass on this place. Huge burrito, but that doesn’t cut it. :/
/​/​Edit
I ate the leftovers later in the day. I think what I most didn’t particularly like was that the chicken wasn’t really well-​flavored and the beans did not add much to the taste. The lettuce and tomato reduced any flavor there may have been. I did use the salsa to add more heat but it didn’t quite help. Maybe the other meats are better? Good chips and salsa though… even if it’s pre-​made or store bought (if it’s not, they taste like it).

This place is bigger than your average Mexican Taco stop and service is always fast and friendly. The food never disappoints either, though they can be a bit pricey. Everything I’ve tried is good though. I just wish portion sizes were bigger too, but that may be just cause I enjoy the food so much…

Ok food, their burrito is good, servers are rude and cashier will change your order to whatever she wants so double check your order before you sit.
Salsa is great.

We eat at a lot of Mexican and taco joints. In my experience, the quality of the food at El Burrito Tapatio is average at best. I tried several tacos with different meats on them. The steak taco was okay but it had some chewy pieces. The chicken taco had a funky taste. I took one bite of it and had to spit it out. The El Pastor was the best of the three tacos which had good flavor. The restaurant staff was friendly and courteous and the food was prepared promptly. I probably will not return because i didn’t care for the food.

Catching up on my reviews. This one will be short.
Stopped in here to get a burrito. Service was OK, the burrito (al pastor) was OK, not anything extraordinary, just OK.
Not a destination spot but if you are in the area it is not a bad stop for a quick bite.
Cheers to all

I live close by, so I go there when I’m craving Mexican food that is quick and cheap. Their burritos and tortas are great. Steak anything tastes good. I always get takeout because it’s not the cleanest restaurant around.
Steak burritos are staple here. Great steak tacos also, or try some cow tongue if you wanna be a bit more adventurous. The salsas are made frequently, although a few times I have picked up an order that gave me bad heartburn or a bad stomach ache. English and Spanish are spoken with ease. Stop in and try. Expect to see the tough bar crowd later at night.
To summarize: cheap, good Mexican food, but not great. Good service with a smile, and always fast.
