Restaurants in Aurora

“My sister and I drove 3 hours from Indianapolis just for Bolivian food…. Worth every mile!!! So delicious, saltenas, chicken empanadas, sonsos, platanitos, yuca!!!! The owners were so sweet and inviting. Please support this new business!! We’re already making plans to drive back for more!!”

“My favorite Outlet Mall- Pros- Talbots is my favorite, the ladies in this store are so helpful and friendly. They also have a great selection of my other favorite stores such as Tommy, Nautica, Ralph Lauren and many others. I never am disappointed. Cons- parking lot is terrible. They sell premium spots which steals parking from all the rest of the malls customers who can’t find a spot- never seen this in any other mall lots. Restrooms- down long isolated halls. Does not feel safe on slow days when there are not many other shoppers around.”

“Great shop in Aurora! If you love tea, this is the spot for you!”

“White Castle is Iconic. Nothing else is like it. Some love it, some hate it. I Love it. You don't go to the Castle for healthy veggie burger and low fat protein fruit smoothies.

Sliders, baby. sliders!

Good service. Good value. Great taste.

Hope you guys always remain open. I was nearly crushed when my more local/closer Castle closed.

I don't come by often, but when I do it's always the same great taste.

(update) I'm just one person but I think the world needs more White castles.
I am super happy to have one then a couple miles of my house”

We were blown away at how friendly the owner is, how cool this place is, and HOW DELICIOUS THE FOOD IS!!! We were told to try the clam chowder and anything with jammy bacon. We tried both things and both were so good! This place reminds me of the TV program, Cheers, because it’s very easy to talk with people; we can’t wait to go back next month :-)”

“If someone were to ask me what is Dos Bros like,I would say that it is similar in concept to Chipolte, but better and a little bit cheaper. I live in Nashville where don't have any locations. I am hoping they will open here soon. The locations in Jackson and Shelbyville were clean with pleasant staff and excellent service. Highly recommend. Additionally I recommended Dos Bros to a friend who lives in Shelbyville. She and her son both loved it.”

“Yes, a must. Be good ever!”

“My hat off to the cook. The skillet was awesomely good. The best I’ll will definitely go back.”

No shortage of nuts or anything. So darn good! I am glad they are not closer because I would go there too much.”

“Wow! Stopped in for a quick lunch and was blown away. Chips/salsa and cerviche were brought to our table to begin and only got better from there. Excellent choices of seafood and other non-traditional dishes. My wife said that her seafood burrito would be on her last meal request! Ha! More pricey than a regular Mexican restaurant but worth it. Definitely going back!”

“love the pan pizza, drive from dekalb just to pick up a hot pizza and drive it home”

“I came last week and my waiter, Elise was very attentive to our table. She provided great service and was very respectful. Will be coming back! The crunch on the chicken is out of this world.”

“Syrup is easily the best breakfast and lunch spot in Aurora. The food is consistent which is sometimes hard to find and the flavors are always spot on. Big fan of the Loaded Potato Cakes with Tillamook Cheddar, but yesterday I found a new favorite in the Chicken & Waffles Deluxe. Their omelets are always huge and packed with ingredients. The Billion Dollar Bacon is also amazing.”

“Hands down some of the best carnitas tacos I’ve had. Everything was fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. Great service and a really welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a spot you need to try, I’ll be back for sure.”

“This place is easily the most friendly and welcoming subway I’ve ever been to. They remember you and are the sweetest people. I’ll never stop going to this place.”

“We ordered catering from Gyro Pit over the weekend and it was a huge hit. Everyone especially loved the Italian Beef and the Greek potatoes. The fried chicken was perfectly done and did *not* suffer the fate of being super dry and overcooked like a lot of other places I've had. We will definitely use them again for our next party. Thanks Gyro Pit team for helping to make my party a success!”

“The menu is extensive, food is freshly made and delicious and the soups are better than any restaurant soup I have ever had.... I have to admit, I am "addicted" to the soups, primarily the Baked Potato Soup. I could eat that every day. I am what one would call "a regular" thru the drive thru for most often, the soup, however, the salads and variety that they offer are plentiful and again, delicious.... Highly recommend the Patio/Aurora, IL.”

“Fantastic food! The Build Your Own Bowl offers a large variety of choices. It arrived quickly, the ingredients were fresh, the sauces are tasty.”

“Don Walker's has been serving our family for four generations (now 5!). Most recent with a signature Italian Beef/Sausage Christmas Day feast. Ditch the chain and get back to this A-Town OG! Thank you Don Walker's!”

“It’s was my first experience. I would definitely recommend”

“Their al pastor tacos were outstanding! Onion, cilantro, and the hot red sauce. Best I’ve had outside of Taco Gus in Cabo San Lucas!”

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.”

“I came here to order a smoothie. At first, the smoothie was half liquid like it has been stayed there for hours. It did not tasted fresh nor it looked fresh. I walked in again asking for a remake and explain the employee what has happened. The employee was polite and remade it for me right away. I’ve been a customer for this business for years and would keep being one! Thank you for your understanding, patience and kindness! And best of all, they upgraded my drink size to a bigger size!!”

“Food is always good. Friendly staff. Claire was very kind. Steve was cordial too.”

“Grilled chicken sandwich on a EGG bagel was the best!!!! Thank you! I’ll try the mini muffins next!”

“It may not look like much but I'm sure you've heard of the phrase 'The food speaks for itself' and that's this kind of restaurant. I absolutely love it !!!”

“Fresh every time amazing quality and great customer service!”

“What's a 3 & 4 year old not to love about Dairy Queen. It's a families rite of passage. �”

“Horrible place to eat , grill filthy and the place was dirty. It looked like they were not ready to open it was 11:30 and the food quality was nasty. I was charged extra for chicken when half of spoon portion was put on my burrito bowl, they server put lots of red sauce on top. The black beans were spoiled tasted bitter and a weird spell , the chips were stale. I really regret coming here I was in front of the server but he didn’t notice me cause he was leaning down with head down like sleeping. I wouldn’t recommend this place for nothing, horrible old food and not ready to open!!”

“The best of FOOD, SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE of any of them IN Aurora.!!”

“Super friendly and clean! Saff is friendly and seams like everyone is a regular so upbeat atmosphere. Have had to wait for open game so wish there were 2 more slots.”

“Been coming to this establishment since they opened and have been pleased with their wings, catfish and shrimp. Conveniently located. I noticed as I placed my order I saw a sign stating yo keep costs down, pay with cash if possible. I paid with cash and noticed on my receipt I was charged the credit card fee (didn’t see a sign for that). Anyway, I bought it to the attention of the young man who took my order and he apologized and refunded the cc fee. Please check your sales receipt at all fast food establishments.”

“Absolute favorite sandwich. the Turkey with Havarti and cranberry compote on raisin bread. Chefs kiss. Also, the Arthouse salad is great. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back and try another menu item. Just allow plenty of extra time if going to the Paramount theater, because they are understandably very busy on the weekends.”

“Stopped by Noelli’s to try out the newest addition to the menu… Mac n cheese. This is the BOMB! 💣 I went with the “OG” while my boys were more adventurous with the Bacon Ranch and Buffalo Chicken. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 across the bar! We’re adding this to our Friday Lenten supper. Thank you Noelli for your creative deliciousness!”

“La carne muy bien sazonada mis tacos favoritos los de Asada y a mi esposa le gustan las papas preparadas con asada. El servicio está muy bueno, el dueño Carlos siempre amable.”

“Awesome food and good service. Punjabi dishes ohh my God too good.
Garlic burn rice awasome.
Dum alloo awasome.
All Nan fresh and good.”

“We recently hosted our BSCC Badminton Tournament 2026 – Prize Ceremony & Dinner at Asada Grill, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. We had a group of about 80 people, and the restaurant handled everything flawlessly. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by everyone. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it perfect for a large gathering. Despite our big group, the space felt very spacious; it never felt crowded or congested. The entire place was also spotlessly clean, which we truly appreciated. A special shoutout to the customer service, which was top-notch from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating to our event needs. Overall, we highly recommend Asada Grill for both casual dining and large group events. A wonderful experience all around—thank you for helping make our event memorable!”

“These were the best chicken wings I've had in my life. I loved them so much, I didn't take a picture ! So crispy and saucy. Better than anything I've had in Chicago. Gochujang and the adobo ones 💯 very nice staff. Very bright nice space. Husband found the usual beer most refreshing. 🍻”

“Such amazing food! Had the spicy Dog. Sauce was sweet and savory and the hot Cheeto dust on the corn dog really hit the spot. The management is amazing! Definitely a 10/10! Very friendly!! Come check them out.”

“Great authentic NY Style. Easily some of the best in the area and surrounding towns.”

“Absolute favorite sandwich. the Turkey with Havarti and cranberry compote on raisin bread. Chefs kiss. Also, the Arthouse salad is great. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back and try another menu item. Just allow plenty of extra time if going to the Paramount theater, because they are understandably very busy on the weekends.”

“Great lively third space for work or meetings. Amenities are amazing. Background and lighting for zoom calls and social look amazing. Different nooks to sit in. Bathrooms are beautiful and clean.

Best of all, coffee and desserts are so good! I’m a coffee snob and I was so happy when this was a better alternative to Starbucks with no local cafe nearby.”

“Ordered online the family sized Chicken Dum Biryani. Depending on family size and portions this can easily feed 4-6 people. The food is very aromatic, spices are well blended, and the chicken packs . I tend to forget that Indian food packs heat, and I should have asked for mild. Nonetheless, the food is good and this is a good sized meal for a family.”

“Rico caldo de camarón todos los viernes de cuaresma”

“Taco Tuesday deal here!!!!

My favorite Taco Tuesday deal restaurant closed down a while ago and by the grace of the Gods this location was recommended and did not disappoint.
There is a lot of meat and it has a nice flavor.

Admittedly, I was becoming weary of coming back to Amaya’s because of a discrepancy between staff and the menu (which was resolved) and there was a sewer scent when you would walk in.
I didn’t return for a few weeks due to work and upon picking up my order, the indoor scent was pleasant and featured no foul odor - someone in management notices and cares!

The salsa verde is a personal favorite. Its tangy flavor has me licking the sides of the container.
Despite sounding clearly whiter than a ghost over the phone, they still include many spicy salsas that remind me just how white I am (I’ve had to stop eating because it was so spicy (and so worth the pain)).

If you like extra onion and cilantro, you may have to order extra on the side or source your own as asking for extra on the tacos can get lost in the ethers (but I’m realizing I may just love onion and cilantro more than an average person so take this bit as a grain of salt).”

“Coco’s catered our 70th birthday party event last weekend. I would rate the service and food 5 stars! Very helpful and quick to respond in the planning stage. Every guest was promptly served. Upon ordering at the truck, they were given a ticket. So nice not to stand around waiting. Guests could return to the party or tending to their kids. After a few minutes their order was ready for a return pickup. The food was authentically superb! And such a novel experience rather than same old Portillo’s! Thank you Jose and shout out to the Severson Family for the recommendation!”

“10/10 Recommend - My husband and I searched for about a month and tried food from various restaurants prior to choosing who we wanted to cater our wedding. We ate tacos on a random night here and immediately asked if they offered catering because the food was that impressionable. We received so many compliments on the food from our wedding day. We still go roughly once a week because it's the only Taco place in Aurora we can never get tired of. Service is excellent as well, I always feel so comfortable here. They have a enclosed area to eat as well, which you can't get anywhere else in Aurora from a Taco Truck.”

“Good spot had a torta de jamon and the guy at the counter was really nice and outgoing and attentive to my order and how I wanted it. Was expensive but still him being made the whole experience of dining in a lot more better.”
