This place is amazing, some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. I love The Not So authentic Mexican tacos on the menu. Delicious. Gaming there is excellent and I left with more money than I had.

My Wife and I have been here several times, GREAT CHIPS and the fire roasted salsa is the best. I have tried the all of the taco choices and all of them are very good. And last but not least the Margaritas outstanding. Give Dylans a try.

Bad experience from the start. Sat at the bar to order a margarita and tacos. The owner denied me a drink because my ID was the previous version of WI and was told to leave the bar because I'm not 21 (no, I'm actually 25..). They gave my friend a hard time because they didn't recognize the new version of the WI ID either.. Still decided to order food based on previous recommendations. Was disappointed with my steak tacos as they were bland and dry. My friend was also disappointed in her enchiladas because the chicken was incredibly dry and there was no sauce. She asked for sour cream and they charged her a dollar for a tiny amount. None of the employees or owner followed the Illinois mask mandate. The only positive of the experience was our waitor who was very kind and attentive (only his third day!). Overall, I do not recommend eating here.

I have wanted to try this place for a while now and finally made it in for a somewhat early lunch (11:30). Being New Years Day, I wasn't surprised to see the restaurant empty of customers, but given the fact that we were the only people in there, we should not have been given cold food. It's a shame because everything was otherwise delicious! We might give it another chance, but I'm giving it 3 stars in the meantime. Hopefully it was just a fluke....

Not so authentic tacos were not so amazing. The beef was over cooked and chewy with a consistency that I can only liken to rubber. No utensils supplied. Go with senor Dylan’s cantina fries with chicken chorizo. Good eat!

YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR TO-GO ORDER BEFORE LEAVING. I just ordered steak taco dinner, traditional as what they said, only onion & cilantro with NO BEANS! Also steak burrito with NO BEANS! As you can see on the pictures, my order is overwhelmed by BEANS, you can’t even see any onion or cilantro. I got gout so although steak is bad for me, I’m staying away from beans. Also it doesn’t comes with sauce or anything, that’s unacceptable. I really used to like this place and also support local businesses, but I don’t know if I’ll go back again. I’m really disappointed this time.

Right off the bat, I have to say that the staff at Dylan's are so incredibly nice and our service was great. However, the food was mediocre at best. The chips and salsa were really good, although, it was a bit annoying that only your first basket is free. Strawberry margarita was fantastic. Our tacos? Not so much. Not much in the way of flavor, aside from salt. And sadly, both the rice and beans were practically inedible. It just seemed like nothing was authentic and tasted like it had been sitting for quite some time. Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention two other things. The restaurant was loudly playing what we can only assume was a South Park cover of 80's love songs. Think Cartman sings Bon Jovi. It was very strange. They also chose to show Dr. Pimple Popper on one of their large screens over the bar (???). Overall, a lot of little changes would help improve the experience, but food quality has to be first.

The food was just ok. But the staff is friendly and the drinks were good. Good place to go drink n get a snack.

We ordered lunch for the team at work for delivery and WOW, everyone was so thrilled with their meals but what I appreciated more than anything is that they read my notes and individually packed and labeled each meal.You have NO IDEA how valuable that is especially in covid times at an office when you don't want to dig through and touch everyone's items. I always ask with delivery orders and hardly ever get that service elsewhere.We will certainly order lunch from here again. Reasonable delivery fee and just good, quality food.I've also dined in once with my husband and baby and the service was outstanding. Always checking in on us, making recommendations, just really happy overall!

I don’t usually review places, but this place has some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I am in the middle of eating my el toro burrito, and it’s amazing. It’s perfectly spicy. Last week we had the build it yourself tacos, and the meat fell off the bone. All of their food tastes like it’s all made from scratch. Even their tortillas taste like their from scratch. Our orders are getting bigger and bigger, just because we want to try everything they have. I am definitely a weekly customer. Keep up the great food!!!

Beans are so dry..rolled in a ball with no moisture at all. Worst beans ever. Rice was decent. Burrito tasted OK but needed sauce of cheese in top because it was dry. Very nice server. I probably won't go back.

Food is decent, not authentic but good. Last time I ordered the rice was burnt. I called the restaurant to let them know and the girl who answered hung up the phone on me. I called 4 more times and nobody answered the phone anymore. Very disappointed with this experience.
