Never disappointed because I can only afford to go out of my way to come over here for the Burrito Special on Thursdays! I love this place! I've been going to El Famous for DECADES going back to when I worked in Buffalo Grove and went to their Wheeling location! The product quality and level of service hasn't changed a bit!Parking: Sometimes it can be a little tight as the location is in a busy corner of the entire strip mall. Nothing insurmountable, tho!Kid-friendliness: Mostly booths to dine in. Nice, inviting family atmosphere. Don't be concerned if you're other guests are hard working guys looking for a good meal!

I rated them 1 star wishing that I could rate it 0 stars!!! Unbelievable this is my beef torta’!!I visited for breakfast and the food was amazing. I came back the same night to get dinner for my family and this is how the sandwich was served the other half of the sandwich had kind of already been eaten. Because we didn’t realize at first that there’s barely any meat on the sandwich and the bread was not toasted at all.. when I called back it’s like she didn’t even believe me she’s telling me to bring the food back and my receipt. How am I going to bring the food back when it is the next day I am working mother I do not have money to waste and we all know Mexican food is not cheap. It’s amazing and it is not cheap. I either wanted a refund or just remake my order. It’s unbelievable that they would not even do that !! I won’t be going back!!

I've been eating at El Famous for over 25 years and it never disappoints! Every Wednesday night I'm there to pick up my avocado burrito and my son is now addicted to the chili relleno, love this place!

I'm trying to find the best place in oswego/naperville area for Mexican food. My wife took me to her favorite spot. Not bad at all. I only have 2 complaints. First the prices are outrageous $15 for for 3 tacos and sides is pretty steep..overall not bad though. They have plenty of options and food tasted pretty good. Will definitely experiment with the menu more.

I stopped by to get some food and it was excellent.my experience was a positive one.I definitely will be back
Steak tacos are $4.95. The priciest I’ve seen anywhere. If you want tacos don’t go here. Taco Dale has better food and tacos are less.

There was a roach in my daughter's chicken tacos. Do not order from this restaurant. I contacted the Board of Health. Absolutely disgusting & ridiculous.

1 star - they decided to charge $0.35 for each salsa (2oz) you want. Crazy. Main reason for going was the potions were ok, but food was not that great and now you have to pay 35 cents for a spoons worth of salsa?!? All do respect, I see why places like this get shut down.

Love the nachos! Would have 5 stars for the nachos alone but they recently changed the recipe and are giving less cheese?
