“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.”

“This location is always great, always fresh food. Never misses. Staff are nice, I was using a coupon on my phone and the staff member reminded me to scan my barcode for rewards points, which I thank him for that since you have to exit the coupon to scan the barcode. Above and beyond great service. I had the Sausage Egg and Cheese Sliders today and they were fresh, the sausage was juicy and not overly salty and the egg was fresh cooked, fluffy not rubbery and the buns were buttery and the cheese was not bland. Overall, great location, hope it stays around since the next nearest location is an hour drive for me.”

“My Daughter work here so I am slightly biased.. most people know that dunkin' donuts coffee is the best! It's better than Starbucks!
Baskin-Robbins ice cream is also very good.. I haven't had much else here except a few drinks..
And the ice cream..
AAA”

“Best tacos in Aurora. Great service.”

“So good! 💯 recommend! The garlic, onion, and jalapeño bagel! 🤤”

“We tried TOB last evening for the first time because my neighbor recommended this place very highly. 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 :-)”

“Always a great spot! First time at this location did not disappoint! ❤️”

“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.”

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

“The best sushi that I ever had. I am addicted and I drive almost an hour to go as much as possible.”

“Best coffee I’ve ever had”

“Among the most delicious ice cream I’ve EVER had!”

“Definitely a friendly, welcoming vibe.”

“Best Pizza Wings ans Salad in Aurora Illinois”

“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.”

“Food was really great but they need the great customer service to go along with it”

“I had a cake made by Smallcakes recently and the bakery I normally used went out of business. It was by far the best cake and it was cute! Thank you!”

“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!”

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

“the banana split 😍 and seeing my cuzin.”

“Love Saturday and Sunday with Jake”

“Best Carnitas, best longaniza in town. In addition to the most respectful and friendly staff. They often run out of carnitas within 2 hrs of opening. Great price for the amazing quality.”

“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!”

“My wife found this place on accident & we're happy that she did! In my opinion, the best Biscuits & Gravy north of Texas! The Pecan Roll & Cinnamon Roll were excellent! We will add this place to our breakfast joint rotation!”

“Best Boba tea in town! Reasonably priced and fresh boba!”

“Wonderful food and even better service! They graciously accommodated our group of 17 for a Friday 6pm dinner and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The Pad Thai was awesome and the Spicy Garlic over Rice was just spicy enough but not so much to burn.”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Really loved it. I usually have low standards when ordering food in general but they blew my expectations. It was clean; the person who answered our phone call and greeted us was really friendly. The packaging was well done and the food itself was amazing. It wasn't overly oily and we got dumplings they were stuffed really enjoyed the food. I fell in love with the food when I just smelled it fell in love more when I eat it. 100/10 would recommend. The entire experience was wonderful.”

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

“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Amazing homestyle Telugu food! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and tasted just like homemade. The staff were friendly, and the service was great. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic South Indian food. Will definitely visit again!”

“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!”

“We catered food from Masala Madness for my daughter's grad party. The food was excellent. Every single guest, including the high school kids, complimented the food. We had live stations for chole bhature, chaat papri and naan. Guests were treated to freshly made bhaturas and on the spot mixed chaat papri.

The service was top notch. They arrived on time 45mins before the party start time. Setup the food quickly and efficiently and started serving in half hour after setup. One of our friends required no onion/no garlic food for their parents, Mr. Chetan Saini personally made sure to create two plates for them.

I would highly recommend Masala Madness for catering. I myself had gone off of reviews from friends who had catered from them, and I was not disappointed at all!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Small restaurant, massive flavor! The food here is unique and absolutely delicious, and the overall vibe is so fun and welcoming. I love the creative touches like the table games and the puzzle exchange. It’s the perfect environment to hang out. A must-visit spot in Aurora!”

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

“Great food and great dining experience. The aesthetics of the dining were excellent. A great place to have brunch! The coffee was amazing!”

“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.”

“The food was very authentic, organic and felt fresh homemade 😊 We went for the big thali and Our family completely loved every menu item in it 😊 We will definitely come back whenever possible. One of the best restaurants we had in recent past”

“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.”
