El Famous Burrito — straightforward mexican in Rogers Park. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. Clean, bright flavors from quality ingredients. "Their salsa is probably the best in the city, certainly in the top of all the ones that I've ever had" — Richard Hendrix

“I never tried lengua which is beef tongue but I saw great things about it ( on YouTube cooking channels lol)”
We’ve been coming here every Wednesday with a large group, and while the food is fine, the service can be frustrating.
21 $ 2 torta dinners, I’m Mexican so I know a good torta, Wish it was a tad bit better since it’s the local taco place🫠.
The carne asada is plain.. it tastes just like ground beef but with no seasoning.

We came on Sunday and the tacos were 1.99 each. They were amazing and they have free nachos. This meal was very fulfilling for two people

“Great food, great service, great prices.”
Great food, great service, great prices! El Famous Burrito is kind of a hidden gem among many other like restaurants in the Clark / Lunt vicinity. The restaurant has ample seating, is clean and offers a nice atmosphere to enjoy your meal with friends. What I love the most is that extra rice comes in 32oz wrapped cups and the tamales are legit. No need to ask questions or be picky, you’ll get quality food and service here every time.

I recently visited a taco place the food was delicious, with a good variety of tacos and fresh ingredients. The flavors were well-balanced, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was casual and lively, which made it a fun spot for a quick meal with friends.

“I wanted to try a new Mexican spot for lunch today.”
I wanted to try a new Mexican spot for lunch today. After a quick search, El Famous was chosen! I decided to call in and place an order for pick up. The male employee was even- toned and took my order clearly. I never tried lengua which is beef tongue but I saw great things about it ( on YouTube cooking channels lol). I went with a regular burrito with everything minus tomatoes! My burrito was stuffed. For about 9 bucks, I had a meal that's still sitting in my belly! Hahaha. The meal was super tender. My only pitfall was it needed just a pinch more seasoning. Other than that, I'll make another visit!

“If you've never visited this little hole in the wall, then I suggest you make plans.”
If you've never visited this little hole in the wall, then I suggest you make plans. The chips and salsa are homemade. The steak burritos are a nice size and delicious. The service can use some improvements. That's why I didn't give it 5 stars.
