I wish I could give this place a higher rating! When we first moved to the area, we had ordered takeout from this restaurant. It was PHENOMENAL. We had ordered three different tacos each and each one of them tasted like perfection. We were elated to make this place our go-to Mexican restaurant.
But unfortunately, we decided to dine in one night and our experience was sorely different. This time, we chose to order tacos again. And they were… nasty? They looked incredible and we were super excited to dig in but the meat was either dry or super fatty and gross. I am also kind of annoyed that the tacos are served with one corn tortilla each? Why did I think that it was customary to have two corn tortillas per taco? The chips and salsa were good… the salsa claims to be spicy but it is not at all spicy. I mean, it is complimentary so I shouldn’t be complaining.
The service and atmosphere of the store are 10/10.
I wish we could justify coming back here but we don’t feel like it’s worth it.

On small business Saturday, we tried the New Mexican restaurant next to Little Italian pizzeria. First, the food was great. And we were happy to learn that their salsas are all homemade. They were delicious as well. My wife and 3 kids all enjoyed our meals very much. Portions were generous and turned into two meals for me, my daughter, and my youngest son….good value. Did I mention the homemade salsa bar! Very charming place that we will definitely be coming back to. We love having a good quality, family owned restaurant nearby. Service was a little slow and they didn’t offer us water to go with our soda cans (ie: no refills) but that was a very minor negative. Overall, very excited about finding a good Mexican restaurant that’s not situated in a high traffic area like downtown town Naper. Highly recommended!

Had the best reviews on Yelp and after talking with the owner I found out it was opened about 8 months ago and is family owned. Some of the best food I have had and I can’t wait to take my friends and family here. Would highly recommend grabbing a bite here.

One of the best Mexican spots in Naperville. Amazing salsa bar with options you won’t get anywhere else. Great atmosphere and delightful staff. Highly recommend the many wonderful tacos they have. Chef JJ really knows what’s up. If I lived closer this would be a weekly visit.

This place is relatively new. Service was okay, they could have been more attentive. I would have ordered plates vs cutting boards. The chips were crispy and had good flavor. Not too salty. They seemed a little stingy with the cups for sauce. The horchata drinks were good. Now for the tacos. The quesibirria was my favorite. I really enjoyed the flavor. Tilapia was okay, i didn’t really taste much of the tilapia. It could use more seasoning to enhance the flavor. Steak was a little too greasy, it was very messy to eat. Make sure you eat it over the table. Chicken tinga was my second favorite. Chicken wasn’t dry, i would order that again. Al pastor was okay. I normally love al pastor tacos but here it was only okay. It wasn’t memorable. Overall, the place is decent but I would prefer Crazy Tortas in Lisle. They have more variety in the salsa bar and you can use as much sauce as you like. Also, the tacos are better.

Yum-mazing! Great tacos, flavorful salsa options, fresh chips and yum tamales. Only thing is they could do better with service but I understand that they are still working on it so I will still be happily back.

I love tacos so it takes a lot to impress me…but this was hands down the best steak taco I’ve ever had! My goodness! The flavored meat, the chimichurri they put on it, just everything was amazing. Street corn on the side packed lots of authentic flavor, must try! Customer service was great…I live 20min away but will gladly make the drive again for these tacos! 😍

It’s been hard finding good tacos in Naperville after going to school in LA, I’d practically given up on it at this point. I noticed this place had recently opened up next to Mediterranean Oasis (a favorite of mine) so decided to stop in to switch things up.
I ordered 1 carne asada taco and 2 al pastor. Usually al pastor is my benchmark but I thought the carne asada here was quite a bit better (the one with the melted queso on the left of my pic). The Al pastor was OK - prefer a bit more of a char and it was a bit oily for my liking, but otherwise fine.
With an horchata and the free side of chips it all came out to ~$13 which is a pretty good deal for this area! I’d definitely come back to try some of their other choices.

FINALLY! Quality, delicious, affordable tacos have come to Naperville. I've eaten a lot of tacos in my lifetime and I'm happy to have finally found a place in Naperville that I can keep coming back to. Growing up in LA, I've really missed having late night tacos. This checks all the boxes:
✅ Tastes Good: I don't care if the restaurant is a dive, as long as the food is good I'll consider going.
✅ Open Late: Tacos taste the best at night. It's the truth! The Midwest's restaurants have some of the most flaccid operating hours in the US.
✅ Affordable: Times have changed, and $3 for a taco is affordable now. It's unfortunate but I think B'n is doing its best. I have a personal vendetta against Invicto for daring to charge $6 for a taco.
We tried carne asada, al pastor, and the quesibirria tacos. Everything was delicious! We noticed a five spice taste in the al pastor tacos. I like the unique taste but it's not something I've found in other tacos.
The corn might not be something we would order again. It was a little too overcooked in my opinion and didn't have enough cheese or spices.
I loved the sauces they had at the sauce bar. The have SIX different but equally delicious sauces.
Overall, I'm rooting for this place to succeed. I'll definitely be back for more, especially late at night.
