“We were celebrating our 20th anniversary. Our service was done by Kaylea. Although she was very busy, she was very pleasant and helpful specially when I had to return my steak because it was under cooked to my taste. She took the steak back to the kitchen no problem and came back with a little better cooked steak with a brand new potato and veggies! The shrimps cocktail was very nice. Overall good food and good service. Perhaps the prices are a little higher but eating out these days is more then it used to be. Perfect location, right in the downtown market where is the Rideau mall, shops and restaurants.“

“Amazing fantastic food! great atmosphere & the service is friendly & fast!“

“This is the best restaurant ever the best food ever. I’m glad this place finally went up by Pilcher Park. Awesome restaurant good prices excellent food.👍👍👍“

“Margaritas are amazing! Seated right away on mother’s day and even given a rose! Would love to come back.“

“Just wanted to share my love for El Zarape in Joliet! It's become my go-to spot. I haven't tried everything on the menu, but their tacos and tortas are amazing. Seriously, they're so generous with the meat – way more than other Mexican places I've been to. And the best part? The meat is super lean! It's a little pricier than some other restaurants, but you definitely get what you pay for in terms of quality.

One small thing – the restaurant could use a little sprucing up. The booths aren't the comfiest, and maybe not the best for those of us with a bit more… *comfortable* seating preferences. Because of that, I usually just order for pickup. But the food is totally worth it!“

“I love this place so much!! The make awesome tamales!! I would highly recomend getting one of their chicken ones. The service was also really great!! They let my little brother pick go up to the fridge and pick out his soda or juice that he wants!! They're so sweet to him!! They are family freindly and are really good with misunderstandings. One time we thought that there was a hair in my tamale, and we shoved it in a napkin. They explained that it was a corn husk hair, and offered to give me another tamale. The people here are really kind! The Bathrooms are also really clean. I'd rather go in their bathroom then a McDonalds restroom. I really hope that people will try their delious food, and agree that the service is really good, even on busy days.“

“Catered the taco bar at my daughter's graduation party today from the Bourbonnais location. The food was fantastic and Giselle did a great job orchestrating it for me. I'm very satisfied! Thankyou!“

“The service, the drinks and the food were A-mazing!!! Lisbeth was fantastic!!“

“Our food was delicious (I ordered a torta), the staff was friendly and accommodating and the service was prompt. They're located inside a service station, so the atmosphere was extremely casual. A good place to stop for great fast/casual Mexican food.“

“Catered our son's 3rd birthday party through them a few weeks back and the food was fantastic!“

“As always good food and service, Thank You!“

“The tacos were amazing! We got two taco dinners and a corn in a cup. The tacos were flavorful and the rice and beans complimented the meal well. The elote was good, nothing amazing, but could have used more toppings. There is a tented seating area to eat your meal. Overall, everything was great so I look forward to going back.“

“Muy buenas carnitas, buche y cuerito muy recomendables“

“Delicious food, made to order, always piping hot! Restaurant is very clean, freshly painted, and always simply decorated for each holiday. Staff is polite, knowledgable, and will explain an unfamiliar menu item to you. I have something different each time we visit, never disappointed. My husband is not as experimental as I am...he sticks to his tried and true favorites... tacos or a quesadilla. Pickled carrots and peppers are good too!“

“Food was great, looking forward to coming back. Our order was to go. Next time we will eat in.“

“Jill is the nicest waitress and always nice and friendly. And fast serving and returning with check .“

“I cannot say enough about Tacos Maui! We had their taco truck at our party yesterday. Everyone loved the food. Tacos and sides were hot, fresh, and delicious. Service was efficient and the people are SO NICE. And they are so professional—easy to contact, responsive to questions, and took care of everything just like they said they would. THANK YOU!“

“The food is soo good, excellent cooks, authentic mexican food, from Oaxaca, Try the al pastor, fried tripitas tacos and suadero! Caldo de res, my wife and I order often“

“Delicious food. Two dollar tacos on Tuesday are absolutely amazing and very worth the drive. Make sure you go to the Jefferson location for this special. My only critique is it can be difficult to get special request followed through. Make sure that you check your food if you have any special requests.“

“Great food. Have pretty much tried everything on the menu and haven’t found anything that we haven’t enjoyed. Good portions and great price.“

“Very busy and very delicious! We will be back again and again!“
