“The food is always amazing and the owners have great customer service. I go at least once or twice a month and I’ve tried multiple items but the ceviche is my favorite. It’s made fresh and you get your money’s worth. Definitely worth the drive.“

“This is somewhere that everyone should stop by to grab something to eat. The atmosphere, staff, service was all amazing. We stopped in on our way home just wanting to grab a quick bite and everything we had was so delicious. Staffed checked on us multiple times asking if there was anything we needed or how the food was. We will be coming back more often. Thanks so much Jefa staff!“

“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 “

“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!“

“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!!“

“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 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!“

“Went here with a group of 8 in time for the Mariachi band. The food was outstanding and some of the largest portions I've ever seen! Highly recommend. Only complaint would be that it can be loud and difficult to talk with the Mariachi band, but you can plan around that. They have times on the website.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We literally make this our first stop every time we come to Aurora to get some choriqueso y pastor tacos. Their agua de horchata is amazing.The prices can't be be and I'm a rather big guy and three tacos were more than fill me up as big as they make them. I usually order for and then I struggle to finish the fourth one, but I'd still end up buying a few to go because I'll know I'll wake up in the middle of the night and want to munch!Been eating tacos here for close to 10 years.“
“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!!“

“My boyfriend & I's favorite place to go for his steak tacos and I get the shrimp fajitas. So delicious, the lady is very sweet and gives good service every time. We always leave stuffed to the core. Only thing is they close at 5 so every time we want it for dinner we can't. Which sucks but they open @8am so I understand.“

“Although I didn't capture a photo of my dish, the quality of everything was exceptional. I thoroughly enjoyed my taco dinner plate and specifically ordered the tripa taco well done, which turned out to be how I requested; a delightful surprise. Additionally, we ordered two large horchata drinks, which were both refreshing and delicious. My husband opted for a burrito and he expressed his satisfaction with its superb taste. We were grateful that this restaurant was open on New Year's Eve, as it was our first visit but certainly not our last. We left as content and satisfied customers. The restaurant was clean and organized and the owners were very friendly.“
“I was in the area and saw the Diablos Truck. I ordered 3 carne asada with lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, and saur cream. I loved them a lot. The meat was tender and matched perfectly with the toppings I chose. The tacos were hot, as well as the soft, delicious corn tortillas. The red hot sauce was spicy and delicious ? I asked quac on top also, but they didn't have it. I saved the location on my map so I would stop by every time I drive to Aurora.“
“It's not a bad place to visit for a quick bite. Food and sauces were pretty good. The horchata ( rice water) tasted pre-made from a bag of horchata powder. The Tlcayuda was 18 dollars, and the huarache was 10 dollars ,I ordered 3 of the steak. For three people, I ended pending about $73 dollars. Overall, it's not a bad place , but prices are steep.“
“i came in for lunch and there was only one lady working both the cash register and the kitchen. there was no menu in sight so i ordered something basic (steak tacos with cilantro and onion). the one employee was super kind and helpful and she was able to make my food fairly quickly. these tacos were SO CHEAP! and they were amazing for the price as well. i picked up lunch for both my coworker and myself and the total was less than $15. i ended up leaving a pretty hefty tip because i was so impressed with the service. i will definitely be back!“

“My husband and I drive by this place all the time, we decided to try for dinner tonight for our anniversary. It was delicious! We had steak enchiladas, barbocoa and tacos. They were super friendly, quick to put together our to go order and asked how many of which sauces we wanted. Definitely will be making this place a regular spot!!“

“We were out shopping and didn't want to stop and ruin the shop till you drop vibe but we were starving and a drive thru wouldn't cut it but both agreed a quick taco or quesadilla would hit the spot. We decided on Taco Dale since we'd never had it before, it was a Friday night and again wanted something quick. Our initial thought or plan was (as it usually is) was to just get it to go and eat in the car and keep shopping.... we went in and ordered a cheese quesadilla and a steak quesadilla I asked if they could cut them in half (so we could split them) to let us each try both. They come with pico, guac, and crema. We didn't get the pico - just guac and crema. The girl was easily accommodating. As we were waiting for the order we quickly realized it may be greasy and we should probably stay and just eat it there. Once we got the order we told them we were going to stay and Christian was extremely accommodating and kind - he brought us chips, salsa, hot and mild sauce and drinks since we weren't going to initially stay. He also kept checking on us to see if we needed anything as well. Christian was also very kind and friendly to the other patrons that came in as well. The menu is abundantly full, there is something for everyone and the menu can be easily accommodating if needed. The ladies were very kind as well (I didn't get any names though I'm sorry). The restaurant itself was clean, warm and inviting. It is also ADA accessible. We will definitely be returning customers.“

“Wow, I had never eaten at the place, but I will tell you that I was surprised when I saw all those dishes and I bought the seafood tower and I couldn't finish it because it is like for 4 or 5 people, but I recommend it, everything is very delicious. I recommend it, go my people like St in Aurora Illinois 60506, the staff are all very friendly when you enter, they receive you with great attention and clean, I will return“
“Never had your tacos before but refuse to pay $3-$6 for a taco. When I saw you were going to be at scarecrow fest in st Charles and your tacos were $1.75, we had to try them. Got them for lunch and then decided to get more for dinner on way home. So delicious and so worth the $1.75. Thank you for helping fill my taco craving, been missing authentic tacos.“
