Taco Express

Muy rapido, caliente, y delicioso! Everything you want from a local Mexican joint. The salsas we very tasty with the rojo being pretty spicy, and verde a cool citric heat. Chili relleno taco was grande. Al Pastor– fantastic. Special shout out to how greasy the food is. Excellent hangover food, and they even have a breakfast menu. under rated for flavor,

Had the al pastor tacos. They were decent, not traditional, and were served with lettuce, cheese and sour cream instead of cilantro and onions. Assuming this is how they serve them for gringos. Had I known I would’ve requested cilantro and onions only. Almost 8 bucks for 3 little tacos and they still want $ 3.75 for a side of chips and salsa when dining in. Any Mexican place that won’t give me a few nickels worth of chips and salsa to snack on while I wait doesn’t get my business again.

The food was very low quality and it wasn’t all that tasty, even given the low prices. I love hole in the wall Mexican restaurants but this place did not deliver.

Taco Express was recommended to us while we waited for our vehicle repair to be completed.
Um…it was not tasty or authentic.
I agree with Will O. I guess people in that area don’t know any better.
I would never vote them #1 in the area, as the banner on the wall suggested.

Good Mexican food, not quite as good as Taco Grill on ogden but definitely a step above places like Los Tapatios and El Burrito Loco. I usually get a few tacos, with the steak taco being my favorite and the chicken not being any better meat quality than what taco bell offers. On the other hand I highly recommend trying their chile relleno tacos. It’s very hard to find Chile rellenos at a non sitdown Mexican restaurant and Taco Express has some of the best; they are absolutely huge. Also, try their Mexican corn (Corn on cob, butter, chile pepper, lime juice, mexican crumble cheese) it is so good but probably so unhealthy.

Taco express is quite popular for its authentic mexican food, that made me to visit this place. The lady who took our order was very helpful and humble. We ordered cheese quesadilla, hard chicken tacos. The service was quick I must say. I didn’t liked the tacos, it was not at all authentic or tasty. Cheese quesadilla was gud, I would not recommend this place for authentic Mexican food but it’s a nice place to have meals at reasonable price.

Always as expected with good flavor and fresh ingredients. We always do take out as the ambience is not that inviting for eating in. I have been going here for about 5 years and while the food is not fancy it is consistent.

Not bad. A Lil slow on service but good. Had the lengua torta. Pretty tastey. I like the fact I can self serve carrots and peppers. Sometimes I just like the carrots. I will be going back.

I am not from around here but stopped by for a quick lunch while passing through. I ordered a Jr. Steak Burrito plate. Overall taste was good but when I say that the Jr. burrito was WELL over half filled with lettuce I am not exaggerating. For paying pennies under $ 10.00 (without a drink and not including tip) I expected more. The side of rice and beans was also skimpy but authentic. Again the taste and green salsa was good but I left a little hungry and regretting that I hadn’t just gone to a Chipotle I passed where I’d have spent 6 – 7 bucks (with no drink) for more food. No complaints about staff and the place seems to be a local hot spot.

Me and my family wanted to try a new place for Mexican food. When we walked in, we were excited about the variety of foods offered on the menu. We have a baby and we were going to put him in their high chair. Me and my wife noticed the high chair was filthy. So we cleaned it with some baby wipes. After this we ordered our food. I ordered the 4 quesida, my wife ordered the chille rellano dinner and my mother in law ordered a torta with ham and cheese. My quesidas were steak meat and the meat was very dry. My wife’s chills rellano was soaked in grease. She could only eat the chille and cheese. My mother in laws torta was microwaved and tasted very old. We were all very disappointed and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

I haven’t ordered anything but the tacos here, and I likely never will after trying their el pastor tacos. Absolutely gold, Jerry! Gold!

I used to love this place. Lately, I’ve been DISAPPOINTED numerous times. My chicken taco still had bones (yep, bones is plural) in it. I could have cracked my tooth. The beef tasted like the fish and my rice was crunchy.
Go to the other taco express off of 63^rd. That place is so much cleaner and has better tasting food.

The Taco Express signage sticks out like a gringo at an amateur football (soccer) match, even when you’re traveling 40mph on the Metra passed downtown Westmont. The colors and patterns strike your curiosity. Is it like Taco Bell? Is it the best taco joint around town? It being Taco Tuesdays, and passing this place everyday, we had to try it.
It’s not the cleanest place to have a taco, but it’s not the dirtiest either. But cleanliness is not the best indicator of food quality. Walk in and to the right is a wall where a number of different plates are pictures, the options are plentiful. Of course I can only speak to the tacos.
I went with a taco dinner (3 tacos) with al pastor, lengua, and fish (pescado?) always with corn tortillas and cilantro y onions. We also got a chicken and beef taco. All were pretty satisfying. The fish was simply grilled, nothing fancy. Lengua was prepared a bit different than other places I’ve had. The cut chopped not cubed and bigger pieces. Al pastor was right, moist with good seasoning and juices. Chicken was also more like pulled chicken rather than grilled and chopped. A nice surprise. Finally the beef tacos, don’t get the beef tacos.
The staff was pretty delightful, happy lady taking our order. The cooks joke around the whole time.
The one disappointment I will note is no free chips and salsa. Fairly expensive in comparison to, well, free.
Order with a smile!

A great place that shoukd be franchised and more common than Taco Bell. The food was quick and reasonably priced.

Not open on Sunday and well I typically want tacos on a Sunday so 3 stars… otherwise good food. They give you free carrots which is awesome cuz they are the next best thing to LaLos

Sure, I can appreciate the close proximity to the train station and how quickly the food is made and yes, it is rather cheap for the Chicago suburbs area. It does not, however, give the manager the right to treat people like crap.
Not only did they «forget» our order and make us wait 35 minutes for our food, but we were offered no apology or explanation. There were two other people in the restaurant and absolutely no reason why we waited as long as we did.
My quesadillas were downright awful. The «fajita steak» was old, and had absolutely been sitting for quite sometime as it was impossible to chew and tasted like beef jerky. My husband’s «burrito» has four slivers of «fajita steak» in it. It was mainly a tortilla stuffed with lettuce. No tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, rice or beans. It was definitely the worst burrito he’s ever had or I’ve ever tasted. Mediocre.
You get «nickel and dimed» at this place. They charge .70 $ for sour cream, and do you want tomatoes on your Mexican food? 1 $. Don’t bother asking for a refill. He’ll wait until he is good and ready to give it to you.
Crappy, disgusting food and a horrible staff. Will not return.

I came in here with an open mind thinking I would get some good Mexican food. Boy was I surprised. They need to take a lot more pride in their food. They also had misplaced my order slip and two other people that came in behind me got their food and left before they even started mine. I suggest passing this place by if y’all are ever in this area. The girl that took my order originally was nice and very pleasant to place my order with but the guy that took her place was a complete jerk. He treated me like I was an inconvenience. What a shotty place.
If I could I would not give this place any stars whatsoever. They are not worth it.

Westmont is a suburb which has more than a few taquerias in its sprawling borders. I’ve been to most of them, and Taco Express seems pretty pedestrian to me. My chief complaint is the price — higher than warranted for the city and quality of food, which was fine, but unexceptional. Drive another few blocks north and west to Taco Grill and Salsa Bar on Ogden, and you’ll be better off, in my opinion.
Still, the location of this restaurant is fantastic for commuters, being directly across the street from the Westmont BNSF Metra route. This makes it a great convenience for people who want a quick bite before heading into Chicago.
This is much better than fast food Mexican, but when you live around here, you have to develop standards due to the multitude of choices. I say keep looking.

What a huge let down! Between the reviews, location, and storefront, I was expecting a «go-​to» taco stand with a once a week reason to stop in Westmont. Way off on that thought. The place was dirty, service was geared to only Spanish speaking clients, and I’ve scene better value from our IRS. I would not touch this place again with your taste buds. If you find yourself in Westmont, skip this place and move up the street to Bub’s or something.

Stopped in, got my burrito, got out.
As a Los Angeles native, I’ve had my fair share of good burritos. This burrito was on par with many of those establishments’, as the burrito had a great balance of lettuce v.s. meat. Their red sauce also provides a nice kick, and the tortilla was grilled to a desirable crisp instead of places that just turn it slightly brown.
The service was very quick, and there was plenty of space to sit down if you wanted to.
I also think it’s a good sign when I can’t interpret some/​most of your menu because it is in Spanish.
