“My spouse and I had a late lunch here today and it was amazing! Our server was very friendly and attentive. This is the best Mexican food in the area. I had quesabirria and it was full of flavor and very tender with delicious consume. The chips and salsa are the best I have had at any restaurant. The chips are thick and crunchy and the salsa is amazing. Some say it is spicy, but I definitely think it's mild (but I do eat rather spicy food regularly so others may not be used to any spice?). Do not drive by this little gem on College Ave.! Stop in and order some of the best Mexican dishes in the Metro East!“
“I shall invite you on a journey of sorts, more like a quest...an EPIC quest in search of deliciousness if you will...If I could give a BAZILLION stars I would without hesitation! Our EPIC QUEST into getting breakfast burritos began about 4 days ago when I made a magic mobile order. Unfortunately, due to a medical emergency (it was dragons I swear!) we were late in picking up & they had run out of all the good breakfast bits (totally?fault), so the General Manager, Angie T, had asked if we wanted something else (lunch wise) or just to come back the next day which we chose the next day breakfast...cuz THEY ARE THAT AMAZING!FF to the next morning, we were cutting it close (abt 10:50am) & unfortunately the guy who was right in front of us had JUST bought out all the sausages & bacons.Breakfast DENIED ?So we decided they needed a break from us going up there every day & our subsequent sadness at not getting this deliciousness.Then this morning...the dark clouds parted with a glorious beam of light from the heavens & I swear I heard angelic voices singing me on to Journey's "Don't Stop Believing!" and I KNEW today WAS THE DAY!Breakfast Burritos WERE ALMOST IN OUR GRASP!We rode our trusty steed, Honda Civic through the perilous Le'Traffiq to FINALLY arrive at the much desired destination.Our EPIC JOURNEY finally came to a glorious & triumphant end with the ever gracious & brilliant Angie T & her equally outstanding crew & they went ABOVE & BEYOND in their bada$$ery.Our appetites for breakfast burritos have finally been satiated & OMG they are SOOOOO delicious.So thank you Angie & morning crew of Taco Bell for making our quest one for the books! You guys were brilliant!!Now, on to fight more of those pesky dragons! Huzzah!And I hope you enjoyed my review as much as I enjoyed these burritos. “
“Friendly staff. Drive thru and parking lot are kind of awkward, which may dissuade you if several cars are in line to the road. Quality of the food is generally good compared to other Taco Bells in the area.Vegetarian options: You can sub meat for black beans on any item.“
“This is one of me and my boyfriends favorite mexican restaraunts, I always feel happy after a large margarita, chips and salsa, and yummy food, and the service here is excellent! Anyone who has not tried this restaraunt needs to try it once!“
“It was Tuesday, so I had to have tacos. My favorite taco recently has been shrimp. Most of the places I frequent, add large grilled tacos. I was surprised to see small shrimp bites here at Casa Romero. They may have been small, but the flavor was still huge and enjoyable. I'd order them again.When I arrived, I was pleasantly greeted and told I could sit any where I wanted. I chose a booth and was quickly served complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were crisp and warm, which tells me they were super fresh. The salsa had just enough spice and was thick enough to cling to the chip when dipping.Before my entree, I also enjoyed a Top Shelf Margarita and an order of Bean Dip. The Margarita was strong. It was strong enough that I only had one and I typically enjoy two. An order of Bean Dip for me is much more enjoyable than a side of Cheese Dip or Guacamole. The mixture of white cheese and refried beans, doubles the flavor.The ambiance is your typical, bright Mexican colors and sorta tacky decor. For my own personal preference, I could dim the lights a tad. It was extremely bright and the white ceiling lights are a little overpowering.“
“1st time here, understand that I am from the suburbs of Chicago, and I have had Mexican food for years, all kinds of food, and from various regions of Mexico. So, I ordered a taco dinner, al pastor, with corn tortillas, so it comes with beans and rice.The rice and beans arrived on a separate plate, and a big portion of each, the rice was almost dry, and kind of bland, the beans were thin, almost soupy, and seemed to be missing the flavor of "lard"The AL Pastor tacos, (3), had lots of flavor and were good sized, I wished they had used yellow corn tortillas instead of white, and they should have used 2 tortillas per taco, as corn will fall apart from the juices of the meat and salsa.Overall a good meal, I would come back to try something else“
“First sweet tea was perfect next two were unsweet guess someone forgot to add sugar. We had a group of 10 food was delicious but I guess they aren't used to big groups had trouble getting our order and food items delivered to table and correct but all in all it was delicious and had a good time.“
“Quaint little restaurant with authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff is nice and attentive and the food is delicious! They have gluten sensitive options as well.Vegetarian options: You can get just about every dish without meat and it will still be delicious.Dietary restrictions: Great place for gluten sensitive customers because you can substitute wheat for cornParking: Ample free parkingKid-friendliness: Plenty of choices on the kid menu.“
“Whenever I've gone here I regularly order carnitas dinner (seasoned pork) one day I decided to try the steak which normally I don't eat. I had the most delicious steak dinner that I could have ever imagined. I definitely recommend this place to anybody who likes great tasting Mexican food.Parking: Plenty of parking with wheelchair accessibility.Kid-friendliness: Big selection of different foods that all kids would like.Wheelchair accessibility: Why doors and easy access from parking lot.“
“First off all the food that I've had here has always been excellent I've never had anything that I've had to actually send back. I even had one day where they didn't have jalapenos for the carne asada steak but I was completely fine with it because everything still tasted amazing.My server was courteous and spot on and every time that I come there I'm so happy that I found my place for my favorite cuisine.“
