El Chilito Bravo — one of Bensenville's strongest mexican spots. The food tastes like it should, with no compromises. The staff makes it feel personal, and owner-operated.

Amazing! It's a small restaurant that makes you feel at home. The service is great, the food is delicious and the bathrooms are clean and smelled very good. I will definitely be coming back. It was closing time and they were still encouraging us to order and they were very nice about it.

Best. Mexican. Food. In. Bensenville. When I’m missing mom’s cooking or feeling nostalgic this is the place to go. From the food to the service there’s no way you can go wrong paying this local family owned restaurant a visit. Personal favorites include steak burrito and tacos (Al pastor, steak, lengua and best of all tripa (bien dorada)). Whether you live in town or passing by don’t miss out on the experience the food and atmosphere will transport you through!!

“I made a wrong turn coming out of O'Hare airport and ended up in a surrounding neighborhood, beyond...”
I made a wrong turn coming out of O'Hare airport and ended up in a surrounding neighborhood, beyond the service entrances to the airport. It was well after 1:00 p.m., and I was hungry. I checked Google Maps, and the reviews for this place looked surprisingly good. So I pulled in and discovered why. I had a fabulous chicken burrito that was toasted in the outside and a Diet Coke. It really hit the spot! The lady who runs the place was so nice and friendly, and while she apologized for her English, she made sure to understand exactly how I wanted the food prepared. It was delicious! 😋 Unfortunately, I left some keys there, but I did not figure that out until many hours later after I was in a hotel room far from the restaurant, which was closed by that time. It turns out the owner kept my keys safely near the cash register, and I was able to quickly retrieve them from her on my way back to O'Hare for my flight out. I plan to make this "wrong turn" again on my next trip to Chicago.

Love the food!! it was my first time here, won't be my last. I found the atmosphere very pleasant and the restaurant was very clean.. I had the Chicken in mole sauce and it reminded me of my childhood home cooked meals made by my grandmother. My husband had the green chicken enchiladas and he almost finished the entire plate which is rare. We both left very satisfied. I chose this place based on the reviews and found it funny that someone gave a low review because his wife was allergic to spicy LOL sounded so funny he was a regular customer, he should have been a good husband and maybe chose Italian or a restaurant that doesn't specialize in spicy foods LOL. We had a really good experience with the customer service. I recommend this place
