Los Burritos Tapatios

Seeing as this is the only place in Glen Ellyn that is open late, it’s a good thing that they are awesome! It is your typical taco joint: simple décor, a giant grill, and alot of tortillas. Free chips and salsa when you dine in is a welcome perk. Be sure to tip your server!

Literally the best burritos in the suburbs. ALL OF THE SUBURBS. Believe me, this place spells immediate satisfaction. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The steak is transcendent… dare I say groin grabbingly transcendent? The al pastor is also very good. Free chips and salsa when you dine in. Food is brought to your table although you order up front. Remember to tip the waitresses.

Don’t waste your time. Nobody in line, 6 people behind counter and can’t even be acknowledged. Didn’t taste food… But who cares, their lack of attentiveness will leave a bad taste in your mouth anyway.

I used to rave about this place because it was the only late night spot in the area to grab food from after a night out with an extensive menu. I’m pretty sure the manager/​owner recognized me but wished there was more communication involved.

Love this place. We are going here for lunch today, in fact! The Burrito Suizo with ground beef is my go-​to. They also make a mean taco salad! Super friendly staff and quick service, too!

Overpriced food. I got a burrito and they filled it almost completely with just lettuce. No wonder the prices are so cheap. Also, there is barely any room inside the restaurant. The place is poorly lit. Also, I’m pretty sure they cook their vegetable entrees with the meat entrees with the same spoons and oil.

I eat here at least once a week to go! Steak burrito with their salsa spooned on by the chips accompanied by a beer. Can’t go wrong by any means! This one always packed out toward the evening so I tend to go to the other one 5 min away Half the time.

Good spot for late night drunk eating tacos. Wish the had homemade tortillas. Food is pretty good I’ve had way better Mexican but for glen Ellen it’s pretty ok

Love love love. This place is great. There are other locations that serve the same food with better quality, but overall this place still rocks.
I definitely recommend this place and it is relatively cheap so definitely a place to continuously check out for late night food or just a quick tasty bite.
Steak burritos with hot sauce is the best. They have other options that are good also and nothing is better than this burrito and a beer. Definitely worth your time and money!

Love this place and I have been faithfully coming here for almost 20 years. They bring the food to your table with free chips and salsa when dining in. It’s customary to leave a small tip and I highly the ground beef tacos with cilantro and onions only.

Living less than two miles away I go here very often. The food is varied but by far tacos are their specialty. Dollar taco Tuesdays are very busy, exemplifying their popularity.
Atmosphere– nice location surround by other quick food stops, plain mexican themed interior, surprisingly comfortable chairs, and the customers are very eclectic
Service– fast, efficient, cordial, have not made a mistake yet (unlike neighboring Portillos)
Food– tacos have been my primary choice, certainly one of the best in the suburbs and aside from getting a piece of gristle more often than I’d wish, everything is good
Drink– the only thing to drink I have ever order is the horchata, which I have always been happy with
Prices– perfect, $ 1 taco Tuesdays should be taken advantage of

Great burritos, and where else are you going to eat at 3 AM? Anyone complaining about the meat can go to Chipotle.
One complaint — the bald manager with glasses is a complete jerk. I’ve seen him arguing with customers frequently, and he’s given me and my friends attitude a couple of times. Then as the customers are waiting, he’s talking smack about them to the cooks in Spanish right in front of their faces.

If you’re in Glen Ellyn and you only have one place to eat… You go here! So friendly! The best Mexican you’ll get!

I got the chimichanga and it tasted OK but was so greasy that it took away a lot from the meal. They need covers for the windows of it is sunny you have to sort in the middle of the restaurant. It’s not bad food but there is better in the area

My fav Mexican spot in Chicagoland. Nostalgia from growing up in GE, plus it’s the closest to grandma’s cooking. Much love for Los.

For quick Mexican this place rocks, been a regular for 10+ years. The steak burrito with sour cream is my goto but the rest of the menu is solid. Don’t forget both the red and green sauces they make the meal.
Good prices and waaaaay better than the chain Mexican folks rave about. Plus, it’s open late, 4am on the weekends (latest I’ve made it is 2ish).

I’ve been coming to Los for about 10 years now, and I love this Mexican restaurant, for reals! Their prices have gone up – but I guess that is to be expected, and the add-​ons are a little pricey too, but that fact of the matter is that the menu is still reasonably priced, and you can get a lot of food for cheap and it’s deeeeelicious.
I think that their steak and chicken are my favorite meats that they offer. I love getting their guacamole as an appetizer. I usually stick with ordering tacos, however I’ve tried their carne asada, flautas, taco salad, and tortas. I’ve also been ordering their ‘SOPES’, which is found under their sides section, but it’s definitely entrée worthy because they’re big and scrumptious. If you have never tried a sope, I suggest you try one immediately at Los. A sope is a thick tortilla slash gordita type slash tostada-​y like corn dough that is obviously cooked to perfection and topped with refried beans, meat, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato. Trust me, it’s really good!!!
Anyway, I get excited anytime suggests going to Los, and I’m probably gonna stop by in the next week or so. I come here like, a lot…

Los Burritos Tapatios is more commonly known as «Los.» I am a regular at Los so I know what’s up. My favorite item on the menu is the steak torta. I am never not in the mood for it! And Los’ salsa is the best thing since sliced bread – every time I stop in I leave with a huge container of it. Anyway, the late hours along with the delicious food makes it the perfect stop whenever hunger strikes.

When you are in need of quick food when all other restaurants are closed, be it Christmas, Easter, 4^th of July whatever, even if there was an earthquake this place will be open.
I eat meat but i really love their veggie burrito. To be honest i haven’t tried anything else cause i like their burritos so much.
This place never sleeps and so is my taste for their burritos.

This review is going to be quick and delicious, just like my lunch at Los Burritos Tapatios!
Love love love this place for some great Mexican food. The whole experience can be summed up like this «Get in, order, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, get out.» Let me explain…
The menu was very straight forward — your typical Mexican food options. I went with there taco plate which seemed to be a popular choice among fellow Unilocalers. With a handful of filling options to choose from, I ended up going with one chicken taco and one beef. Of course. these tacs were accompanied by beans and rice, which were also introduced with a basket of chips and salsa (which had a perfect kick to it).
My meal was delicious! I appreciated that the food tasted very authentic. You can always tell when Mexican food is either made right, or super americanized. The service was great — quick and efficient! No sooner did I sit down then my food was brought over to the table. And of course it was so delish that it was just as quickly devoured :)
So like I said, it was a quick experience but one that’s definitely noteworthy! I’d love to go back and enjoy their food again!
Tip: Don’t be fooled by their outside appearance. Yes, they are located next to a mechanic and it may not be the flashiest of places, but the food is on point!
