Have came here twice and both experiences were perfect in every way. Very clean and colorful, comfortable atmosphere with a cool way of displaying the menu, of which has many different options and variety-it is all delicious. I recommend everything. This place has the best asada and churros out of anywhere in the Elmhurst area hands down, I've gotten them both times. Great tamales and chips as well. They keep the salsa bottles in an ice bath when they're not being used which is always an A+++ for me. Very respectful staff as well, and the best part of it all: the prices are so very fair for the amount of food you get!! $3.35 for a big, good quality taco is IMPOSSIBLE to find these days!!!This place is going to be our absolute go-to for as long as it's open. Do not hesitate to come here!!!!!

I love this place. Besides the food always being fresh they pay attention to detail. Never once in the 20 years I've been going there have they ever messed up my order.Kid-friendliness: Non breakable aroundWheelchair accessibility: Wide open dininh

Good variety on the menu, seems authentic, but wasn’t blown away by the food. As a Californian, I’ve eaten lots of great authentic Mexican food, so this felt a bit different. Still tasted good. Service was quick, the store was very clean, the food is piping hot, and the portion sizes are HUGE.The Steak burrito was just average or above average. The chicken tamales were very well-made, fresh, and flavorful.

If you're open till 11:00 don't start cleaning the grill at 10:30.

It was like eating just to survive. There was no flavor to anything. The ground beef was like sand and the steak was chewy and I can't stress enough there was no seasoning or flavor at all. People want to enjoy food they spend hard earned money on. Many better options than this place.
The food here is amazing in my opinion this is the best Mexican restaurant I've been to and I will give this service a 5 star

I used to be a big fan of el famous burrito, it was close to my house and was some of the best Tex-Mex food you can find, but the past couple years I have had such horrible experiences I don't know if I'll go back. First their prices online did not match what I was charged ordering on there site when I came to the store and realized that I was being over charged I was just told "the menu prices were outdated " and was over charged $12 and wouldn't be given a refund. After that I didn't order for a long time until one day I was craving for their carne asada ( if you do eat here it's their best meat) I called and asked if I can order an hour before close and they were happy to take my order I get there 15 minutes before they close and the cashier was leaving saying they closed. I went to el famous one more time because a friend wanted to eat there still more expensive then most taquerias it doesn't taste authentic which is why I say it taste more like Tex-mex. The only things I give just a little praise too is the cashier male who is usually there is super nice, and their carne asada is actually top notch those two reasons saved this restaurant from getting a one
