Taco Diner

Made it to the actual location to see if the steak tacos were as good as the ones at the craft show. They were, but I was super bummed they were out of verde. How do you run out of verde? Then I realized it was the day after Cinco de Mayo so I will give them a pass, but so help me if there’s no verde the next time I visit I won’t be back because it really makes the taco for me!

Restaurant is cute and clean with dine in or
Take out. Very friendly staff and large menu.
I usually get the sopes with beans and fresh avocado. The sopes is very large and have been perfectly prepared every time I have ordered. Classic steak tacos test — passed. Quality and flavorful meat. The rice is good too — just wish they served a little bit more with entrée side.

Better than average plus taqueria with a fairly wide assortment of food and drinkables; very friendly and helpful staff. Yet to find anything problematic on their food; recommend the various tacos, fajitas, their Cuban sandwich (torta Cubana) (quite good and filling) and their sides are good. Not a fan of the table salsas; not bad, just either way hot or not to my taste — go for the guacamole instead. Enjoy!

I’m having trouble understanding why this place has a $ rating for price. It should definitely be $$ at least.
The food was okay, but they charged me 22 dollars for 3 tacos, chips and guacamole, a curro, and a bottled coke. They made me pay for extra salsa in a big container which couldn’t have cost them that much to make. The salsa cups they give you are less than an ounce. And then they only fill them half way. So you get barely any salsa to begin with.
The food was okay, but it certainly wasn’t worth the price they were charging. I was talking to some friends about my experience, they were also charged 3 dollars for a bigger serving of salsa to go. And had similar experiences.
The only reason this place isn’t getting 1 star is because the staff is at least super polite and kind. And I doubt it’s up to them to charge me a crazy amount for the salsa.

I really can’t add to what I’ve said about the Bolingbrook location to anything here. VERY good food. It’s worth a stop. There was a Burrito place across the street MANY years ago. It was run by a biker & his wife, That was where I got my love for giant burritos. I guess now you’ll get the closest thing to that experience. I think there’s a new sheriff in town as it relates to Mexican food. I told people who work in that mall that this place is legit. I told the guy at the gas station close by about Taco Diner & he checked it out. Later that week, he thanked me for suggesting it. Enough said. Keep up the great work!!!

Excellent burritos. I go with the steak burrito most of the time, but they are right on the money with the tamales. it’s a popular place so the line might be long but I think it’s worth it.

Simply amazing! The food here is terrific and a lot better than some the taco places in the area. I accidentally found them going to the H&R Block next-​door and stopping for lunch and you can tell that they use fresh ingredients and it’s not just sitting around. The free chips are much better than some of the free chip places in the area.
I will definitely be back here. Amazing food. I love the super burrito with steak.

Great service! They are very nice and care about the customer. Food is just ok. Kinda pricey compared to other places in the area.

As always, we love finding new places in the area to eat. Today, the family felt like authentic Mexican so we checked our this new spot. Although open for less than 6 months so far, we hope they stick around. We really enjoyed the meal.
Wife got combo platter with chicken and steak tacos, daughter got combo platter with quesadilla and enchilada, and I got to chile rellenos tacos. The three of us ate for less than $ 21 and have food left to take home. All the combos came with rice and beans on the side and unlimited chips and salsa which made for a great value. The service was friendly and fast and the environment was clean. Excited to return for more soon.

Ok so we finally tried it. We are super huge Lisle Burrito fans. So. We tried our favs. Steak super burrito, chicken suizo burrito, fish tacos and lengua tacos. I ordered mexican style lengua sonic would have cilantro and onion. Nope they were American with lettuce and tomato. The lengua was a weird cubed shape husband said the Lengua taco was good and had the most meat our of them all. The fish tacos are Tilapia and were good. The green sauce is tasty. THE SUPER BURRITO was ok and The suizo burrito was okay. Chicken was small diced and no flavor. It was mostly lettuce tomato which is ok with me.
THE restaurant was nice and clean. The staff was friendly.
Not sure we would revisit since we already have a favorite across the street. I hope they last though.

They have been open for only a few months, so I decided to try them.
I had the combo for $ 6.49 with a steak taco and beef enchilada. The steak was tender and juicy. The beef could have had a little more seasoning. I also had the rice water, plenty of cinnamon.
The staff was very friendly. I will go back and try some of their other items. Good luck!

I’m always up for trying the new place in the area… I was at a restaurant in the city where my friend bartends, there happened to be a couple in there who live in the same area as I do. They chatted me up, and told me about this place… claimed it’s WAY better than the others in the area, including El Burrito Mexicano… well, I KNOW it’s already cleaner than that dive. After I finished a weight loss challenge at my gym, I was craving Mexican food so I had to try this place out before getting back on that wagon. I stopped in during the dinner time rush to take food to go. The place was pretty booming… most of the tables were full, and a few were waiting around for to-​go orders. I got the chicken flauta dinner which was around $ 10 (the going rate I’d say) which included beans & rice. They were decent for sure!
I typically try not to review a place after only trying it one time so I held off for another time before reviewing his place.
This past weekend my mom suggested ordering in food, and I suggested this place — that I could go pick it up… we both ordered the flauta platter and an order of chips and guacamole. My order was ready in 15 – 20 minutes. Their guac isn’t blended, there are chunks of avocado in there instead. Needless to say it was good… so are the chips! You can get an order in 8oz or 16oz… we got the 16 oz. I definitely recommend checking this place out — to dine in, or to go!

Great to see their hard work is paying off. This is their 3^rd location. I’m a fan of their original Bolingbrook location, but found myself in the area. Really enjoyed the enchiladas suizas. Friendly service and tasty horchata keeps me coming back.

I wish I could have liked this place more. I have been annoyed the last few times with el burrito and was hoping for an option that was somewhat comparable or better. This place is not.
I ordered my food online ahead of time and went to pick it up. The woman behind the register was slow and confused… The guy came from behind to help her which slowed everything up. The gentleman was very friendly though.
As for the food. It wasn’t good. I ordered Mexican nachos to share with my husband, a beef burrito and my husband ordered the tampiquiena (sp?). Everything I ate wasn’t good. The Mexican nachos were odd. Piled high with saucy cheese, guac and beans. It didn’t taste Mexican at all! Tasted like velveeta. Maybe regular nachos would be better… The the burrito… ack. When I opened it up, the burrito was covered in oil! It was all shiny and disgusting. My hands were soon covered in oil and the whole thing was a giant mess. I have never experienced an oily burrito before and I don’t want to again. My husband thought his meal was pretty good which is why I have 2 stars.
I don’t know if this was just an off day or if this is just the way it is… I wish it was better.

Best steak burrito suiza I have ever ate… DA BOMB.
They use only the best steak and no fatty pieces. .
A must go to place.

Woke up one morning craving Huevos a la Mexicana. I have my usual go to spots but wanted to stay local. I passed by the Taco Diner a few times since their opening and decided to venture on in. I had no idea if they served breakfast or not but I figured most likely they did. Although I did not see it on their menuboard at first I asked the manager if they could make me Huevos a la Mexicana as a special request. To my surprise he told me they serve exactly that dish and other breakfast items all day.
Love the cozy atmosphere and open table seating. The chips and salsa for dining in was delicious. Warm chips and seasoned with 3 different salsas to dip into was awesome! My main breakfast meal came out shortly. For those not familiar with what I ordered its scrambled eggs mixed with tomato, jalapenos and onions. Served with a side of rice, beans and tortillas. It has a slight spicy kick to it just an FYI.
Overall my first experience was a pleasant one. Friendly staff and dynamite horchata also hit the spot. Taco Diner is located in a plaza which makes parking easy.

Awesome new place for mexican!
Have not tasted better since moving back to the Chicago area. Loved the pork tacos as well as the hot thick crunchy chips!
The ladies working today were as sweet, friendly and happy to be there as any place I have seen here.
Definitely recommend trying them out!

I was excited to see Taco Diner open up in Lisle. Located in a strip mall at Maple and Rt 53 parking is easy, lot is right there.
Nicely lit and super clean. Very friendly counter staff which is not a given and appreciated.
This was my first time here, so I tried a basic that all Mexican restaurants should be good at– Taco dinner. Got 3 Mexican style tacos, 2 chicken and one steak. Steak is the clear choice, tender and juicy. Excellent refried beans.
Price is about average.
Good crowd at lunch and everything looked tasty.
I’ll be back.

My co-​worker and I was craving Mexican food for lunch one day. He suggested for us to try out Taco Diner since it just opened in the neighborhood. This place is very similar to most fast food Mexican restaurants: order at the register and someone will come and delivery your food to the table.
As we waited for our food, the manager came out with chips, salsa, and hot sauces. The chips were homemade, the salsa was fresh, and the hot sauces were very flavorful. For food, I decided to try the steak torta. The sandwich was good, but nothing to write home about. The steak was a tad dry and chewy yet still flavorful.
The service was amazing. Everyone was extremely nice, the manager even stopped by to ask how everything was. All in all, this is a good fix for Mexican food. It isn’t amazing, but for the area this is probably one of the better tasting ones.

I was hoping for something new. El burrito Mexicano is good but slipping. Pepes, Eh, take it or leave it. when Taco Diner opened, Great!!! new blood. 9÷24÷15− I am open tacos, burritos, I’m just hungry. Two people ahead of me, one person taking orders, SLOWLY, Confused. Ten minutes later I’m out… Grabbed a menu and looked at other locations. Romeoville. it clicked.
I tried lunch at Romeoville location. Enchiladas Suizas– Sad, skinny enchiladas, no flavor, flat tasting rice, beans are beans (canned). and it took FOREVER!
Guess I didn’t miss much when I walked out.
I give them six months.
See what happens
