About The Taco Stop

The Taco Stop is a popular restaurant known for its delicious Mexican food and friendly service. The restaurant's chicken flour quesadilla, a must-try dish, offers a perfect mix of flavors and textures, providing great value at $12 for two. Its tacos are highly praised and often called the best around, with many customers returning frequently. The enchiladas and salsa are also highly recommended, along with the chicharron and homemade large flour tortillas. The hot green and red sauces are famous for their spiciness, and the sausage and chorizo are favorite choices. The small but hardworking team of four strives to serve the often-busy place, which is open until noon or 1:00 PM.

Customers often describe The Taco Stop as a hidden gem, with one calling it "a total hidden gem in Elgin" that looks modest from the outside but offers exceptional food and service. The Migas is recognized as "tasty," and the bacon, egg, and cheese taco is appreciated for its perfectly crisp bacon, not greasy, and full of flavor. The fajita beef taco is also well-liked for its flavor and generous portion size.

Recent reviews highlight the quality of breakfast tacos, with many recommending placing orders via text message to avoid waiting in line. Visitors also praise the place for living up to its reputation, mentioning good portion sizes and flavorful meals, including the spicy salsa that isn't overwhelmed by heat. Many agree that the tacos, whether for breakfast or lunch, are excellent, and the green salsa is considered the best. The owners, Tony and Orlando, are known for being very friendly and remembering customers' preferences. Overall, The Taco Stop is a must-visit spot for delicious tacos and a welcoming atmosphere.

I got 2 of the regular size tacos, and opted for Bacon, Beans, and Cheese. I gotta say, The Taco Stop absolutely rocks!! Bacon for days, beans were cooked well and seasoned to perfection, and just enough cheese!

Hopefully they have their large tacos available next time, because I'm definitely going for the upgrade.

Only one thing.... The green sauce was good, but it wasn't quite spicy enough. Plenty of flavor for sure, and it will be my first pick next time, but...read full review
