El Burrito Jr - Lemont

Last review 2 19 18 5 star now new owners The food sucked, really it did. Unfortunately after over 20 years I will not go back

I am always weirded out and surprised when establishments require cash only. However, thanks to other Yelp reviews I was well prepared! I figured I would grab a chille rellano burrito, the usual that I order when I'm attempting to evaluate the quality and consistency of a Mexican dish. I also ordered a horchata. The burrito appeared to be a good size, but when I tasted it the flavor fell short. Whereas I'm a fan of a soft and cheesy pepper, this pepper tasted undercooked and rubbery with a minimal amount of cheese. The accompanying rice and beans were not flavorful at all. I would also like to think horchata is a good choice for an accompaniment, but this one just tasted like sugar without many hints of cinnamon or the rice. Their specials seem pretty reasonable, but my entire bill was $12, which I thought was pretty steep. If I do return it may be to try their specials.

We noticed a lot of changes on inside and workers were not familiar. New ownership. Hoping the food quality didnt change, but it did unfortunately!! Sadly we will be looking for a new place.

I've been here quite a few times and enjoy the food. Every visit has always been pleasant. My most recent order was a phone order for pick up. The gentleman who took my order was friendly. When I walked in to pick up my order, I gave my name and he immediately knew which order was mine (he repeated what I ordered before even reaching for my food) and asked if there was anything else I wanted. I paid in cash and didn't have exact change so he kindly didn't charge me the change. I recommend coming here. My food was delicious and prepared quickly which was nice since I was starving. Always a good experience and I will continue being a customer.

Ordered a Taco dinner, enchilada dinner, and a quesadilla platter. When we got home with our food, they only gave us the tacos the dinner is supposed to come with refried beans and rice too. The tacos were a new recipe and some of the most bland tacos we've ever tasted plus they were mushy and falling apart too (could barely even pick one up). The sides of hot sauces they usually give were wrong too we were given sides of enchilada sauce instead. We spend almost $40 and weren't given the right food but have no way to bring it back because they don't give out receipts and take only cash. Huge waste of money and time to not even have a decent tasting of a dinner.
