"I cannot comment - enough - about how good these burritos are - This establish advertises exactly what it is and gives you just that. I will continue to walk - miles - for El Mexicano Burrito and you should, too! But their pickled jalapeños are the extra bombs! Hidden gem in Wrigleyville that I keep telling everyone about - real talks. Thanks guys"

"I enjoyed the food for sure. They bought out chips and 3 types of salsa. They were all good. I ordered a taco dinner. Two steak and 1 chorizo. Plate come with rice and beans also. Very good. I saw many options on their menu so I'm sure you can find a meal that will work for you."

"Food and service was great. Vegetarian Burrito was a solid 9/10. Hit the spot for late night cravings. The beans and rice were fresh and not too oily. The tomatoes and lettuce were crisp and fresh. Salsa platter was very authentic. Chips were crispy and not too oily. The front cashier was friendly and asked if I wanted everything on my vegetarian burrito. They honored my request to remove the cheese and sour cream to make it a plant-based vegan burrito. I cannot confirm if the beans were made with lard of the rice was make with chicken bullion though, for true vegans. Although it did not taste like it had lard in the beans. The general restaurant was clean, although the bathroom could use a little freshening up. Overall a great experience I highly recommend this authentic Mexican food that has healthy vegan burrito option. Burrito would have been 10/10 if they added a couple mushrooms in there. I’d pay another $2 for this add-on."

"The best tacos I have ever had. Also really kind personal who has been welcoming and gave nice suggestions. At the end I ordered el pastor and longua, and I am already missing them. They also bring nachos and dip for free to accompany the order Great value"

"Just had a breakfast burrito con carne.. It was maybe the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. No frills need just good food done perfectly. New comfort spot."

"This place is what you call a hole in the wall. It’s a good place to get a quick bite. Not expensive, you won’t get best tacos in the world, but they’re fast and they have good flavor. If you order in you will also receive chips and salsa. On this trip I ordered two tacos and a coke, for $10. Tacos had beef, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Hot sauce wasn’t spicy but had a good flavor. Chips tasted home made and the salsa had a good flavor. Small location with only 6 tables, so if you’re lucky you’ll get a seat. Parking is hard to find in this area."
