For the NW 'burbs, Paul's ia some of the BEST Mexican street food around. Consistently delicious tacos, burritos, refried beans, etc. And a good value. Lunch time this place is very popular with the trades people, landscapers & road construction crews. These people know where to go foe great food at reasonable prices, not as easy to find these days.

Great location and Parking in back. Ramp entrance though rear. Front entrance has a step. Food is mediocre, but large quantity for the price. No Drive-thru. Friendly customer service.

I love Burrito express, I come here once a week with my significant other and it is always tasty. The service is fantastic! I had the supreme quesadilla tonight and it was crispy and flavorful!
