“Awesome awesome awesome! Our second time dining at El Jefe, just as the first 5 star experience! The staff are wonderful, very attentive, and very happy! Food was excellent, I had the grilled octopus and devoured it!!!! My recommendation for food - anything on the menu! Great atmosphere, great people, I can’t say enough…“
“We just had them at our neighborhood block party and their food was so so so good!!!! They were so kind and friendly. Super professional and great communication. Their steak tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had! Their loaded fries were so good too! Highly recommend!“
“Very good. I’ve been to several carnitas places and this is one of the best. Wish they were open more than 2 days a week. Got 2lbs, comes with tortillas and salsa. Meat was not greasy, it was moist and had good flavor. Definitely would go “
“Really enjoy this place! Their food is fresh and delicious! Their Micheladas are delicious! I had the shrimp burrito it was so good I did t want to stop eating even after being stuffed! I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: They have a veggie taco that is delicious and different with the fried cheese!“
“I really like this place! I don't really like eating out very much, but I really like Dosbros! To give you an idea of what Dosbros is all about, think Chipotle, but better. The ingredients are much higher quality, and there's even more choices. I recommend the spicy chicken bowl if you like spicy. Otherwise their beef just can't be beaten. They also have a couple of sauces they make house that are super spicy. I like them both. Ask about them, he'll give you a little sample.“
“My mother and I came in for a late lunch today. We are from AZ and luckily found this place!!!! Let me tell you. I HAD THE BEST MEAL I'VE EATEN IN A LONG TIME. I ate the Birria and my Mom had the stuffed Chiles plate. Our server (I wish I could remember her name) was the nicest girl. I loved the family owned atmosphere! From the sauces to the service, this place did not disappoint. Ten out of ten! Definitely a must try!“
“Stopped in with a buddy when craving some tacos while in Aurora. Steak tacos were very good sauces were spicy and tangy full of flavor. Definitely worth visiting for tacos. Staff was very friendly and service was quick! Place was extremely clean and seating was abundant.“
“Great spot for a quick lunch. Prices are very fair and the portions are big. Really enjoyed the enchiladas, and the Al pastor is awesome. Rice and beans are done right. The horchata is some of the best around! Salsas were all good, but the tortilla chips were a bit plain. Needed some salt. Other then that, would definitely come back!Parking: Small off street parking lot right next to the building with 3 hour parking during the day.“
“This is a CASH ONLY shop!!! I went here for the first time a week ago, I ordered and when I went to pay the cashier very rudely says “CASH ONLY!” Uhmmmm okayyy….I’m sorry you work here?!…. & I was in shock bc literally every where you go is card or Zelle or something not “CASH ONLY” I guess someone isn’t claiming their entire income ANYWAY they do have an ATM inside & the only “cash only” sign is at the door on your way out which should be flipped so you can maybe see it on your way in. So remember to bring CASH!!“
“We just had them at our neighborhood block party and their food was so so so good!!!! They were so kind and friendly. Super professional and great communication. Their steak tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had! Their loaded fries were so good too! Highly recommend!“
“Family friendly restaurant that is ran and owned by a local family. I came here with coworkers but that same weekend I had to bring my family because it’s so good. The food is delicious and the servings size are well worth it. They have a fresh homemade lemonade that is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be going back. This is truly a hidden gem in Aurora.“
“Absolutely delicious food and great prices. Dine-in was quiet (well, we were the only customers at 2pm on a Tuesday), and decorative flags and bright tablecloths cheered the place. Good service.Parking: A little confusing: parking in the back looked like it was claimed for an adjacent building (with a towing threat), but the sign on the door said to park in the back. We parked on the street - plenty of space either way.Kid-friendliness: So many great choices for kids beyond the kid menu. Mine were very content.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a cement ramp to the front door around the corner and ample space between tables.“
“I've been so Late! On this review.... This Place is simply the BEST! For Tortas. kinda of pricey but overall worth it we've been to this place for over 15 years and surprisingly it has never disappointed us (except the prices when up). The meat, bread and ingredients are fresh!“
“We had a party here for about 30 people and it was absolutely incredible! The food was delicious, the servers were kind and patient with our various drink orders. The restaurant is very clean with a plenty of seating. I will definitely be back! Thank you for taking care of us on our Special night.“
“This was our first time, family recommended. I was absolutely pleased, from the service to the delicious food, authentic Mexican cuisine and just 10 min from my home, this will be our regular place To eat and enjoy different menu items. Tortillas are fresh, the salsa is warm and the flavor is amazing. This is an absolute must try.“
“The best mexican tacos in the area, I love the quesadillas gigantes, jalapeño burgers, there is just a lot of good options and all delicious. Los mejores tacos de el area, me gustan las quesadillas gigantes, jalapeño burgers, hay muchas opciones para escojer y todas deliciosas.“
“I can't believe how incredible Jose and these tacos are. We booked Mobile Coco's Tacos for a graduation party. The tacos were the talk of the night. I had teens and adults commenting that Mobile Cocos Tacos were the best tacos they have ever had. We picked al pastor, steak and veggie for our menu. Pair those with the rice and beans and the food for your party is complete. As an added bonus, Jose is also fantastic at communication. I highly, highly recommend! 5+ stars!“
“Small mom & pops bakery but they have all this antojitos, great place to eat with family. Location is very small. Everything is fresh there, tacos, cemitas, memelitas, tortas, etc everything is super fresh made.. caffe con canela de la olla the best ☕️Kid-friendliness: Kids will grab some candy after lunch or dinner ???? ???“
“First and foremost, the food is flavorful and plentiful. To-go orders are carefully prepared to be piping hot when you get home. The tortillas are so good, I'm highlighting them for the way they elevate their tacos.Service is faster at other establishments, but the sacrifice is worth the wait.There's not a lot of atmosphere that I can give points for, but the truck and surrounding area was clean and the staff was courteous.Great job Tacos Don Juan“
“I drove by on a route I don't normally take and smelled the food and turned around. I ordered 2 tacos. Asada and pastor with cilantro onion. I've been in Aurora 10 years and sampled a few dozen nearby restaurants and this one definitely hits the top 3 for me. The flavor was definitely number one for pastor. I have to return and get a full meal to really give a proper review but if 2 tacos blows me away I will certainly be back.The woman who served me didn't speak much English, but that's not her fault. I'm probably the minority customer. Great for family dinners or quick lunches.“
“Excellent food and service! It was a busy Saturday night and that did not effect the quality of service. I had steak tacos and ceviche tostada and both were outstanding! My bf had Milenesa and Pastor tacos which were also outstanding! Our new go to place for authentic Mexican food!!!“
“OMG!!! These tacos were on fire!!! I had three tacos; one taco was tripe well done, the other taco was of chicharron in green sauce and the third taco was steak!! My husband had a taco of carnitas and pastor and it was delicious as well.The lady that took our order was tentative and repeated our order to make sure she got it correct... The green sauce for the tacos was so good!!!! Honestly, I didn't try the red one lol. This place always has a line but today we decided to try it anyways, and it was worth it!! The outside of the food truck looks clean and has utensils and napkins for customers that decide to eat standing up. Definitely coming back to get tacos from this place!!“
“Seafood platter is always great. When asking for hot salsa, ask for something hotter than hot and they will make you a custom hot salsa that is so tastey! Food hear is always great. The chorizo bean dip with chips is fantastic as well. Can't go wrong with the music and food here. Great place and atmosphere overall. Great place to pass the time.“
“Since they opened the food has changed a little bit with is sad. When I order al pastor tacos with grilled pineapple they say it's included but it's not anymore without asking. MONDAYS Steak and pork tacos are on sale. Their food is good just make sure you tell them how you want it.“
“Goat Birria or Birria de Chivo Is one of my favorite dishes, that is increasingly difficult to find. Goat is harder to find and prices have gone up. This restaurant is inside a church, and has limited hours, so a bit of a challenge to actually get to. They seem to only be open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday but have an authentic menu of menudo, Birria, and many other dishes.“
“OMG, everyone told me this truck was amazing, and let me tell you it was more than amazing! I had the Al Pastor (chef's kiss) and the Camerone tacos (a delight on my taste buds). Run, don't walk to this little hidden gem in Oswego! You'll thank me later!“
