Fire Burrito - Roselle, IL

I checked out this Fire Burrito place one day. It was a pretty standard taco restaurant. I ordered a steak burrito and had sit-down service with chips. The burrito was good/OK. It didn't have the kind of slightly greasy, overflowing with ingredients type of feel that I was looking for.

3/5 Stars

Fire Burrito, 342 Irving Park Rd., Roselle, IL, 60172

La Rosita Taqueria, Wheeling, IL

Right behind my place in perhaps the most unassuming and rundown strip mall I have ever seen is La Rosita grocery store. There’s a bike path behind it. I’ve ridden my bike in a circle in front of the store wondering what it was like. I didn’t realize there was a taqueria inside. I didn’t even realize it said Taqueria on the awning until tonight. I walk in a bam! There’s the taqueria to the right. It looks like a church or VFW hall. Like someone’s basement. There is grocery store is around it, with giant Jesus and Virgin Mary pictures looking down at us. They’re praying for us. The menu is limited: tacos, tortas, burritos and quesadillas. I notice a quesadilla de calabazas, which is pumpkin flowers. This is something my mom loves when she sees it. Her mom used to make calabazas. I’m not sure how it will go in a quesadilla but I’d like  to find out. I try to order it but they are out of calabazas. I study the menu again. I'm about to tell her to just throw some ham in but she says if...

Super Mercado - Super Guerro, Wheeling, IL

I was passing by a taqueria that I’ve already rated 5/5. If I were to rate one taqueria 6/5 as the winner, it would be a strong contender as the best. Since it’s so good I was tempted to eat there again but the point of this blog is to try different taquerias. The last time I had noticed Super Mercado a couple of doors down and wondered if they make tacos there as well. I rolled by Super Mercado. It had a sign in the window for quesadillas and beans with a price. My feelings were confirmed: they are running a butcher/taco stand in back. I decided to check it out. The store’s like a cramped New York bodega and the carnicería is in the back. 2 cashiers and the taco maker do not speak any English. I got by with my rudimentary Spanish but be forewarned if you don’t speak enough. They had a chalkboard menu with a few things offered on weekends, like barbacoa (do I have to buy by the pound? How would I explain in my limited Spanish how I want it prepared?) and tamales (too much masa for my l...

El Álamo Mexican Restaurant, Wheeling, IL

One day I wound up at El Alamo Mexican Restaurant. It is a restaurant with a waitress but they let me order and sit at a table while I ate. I ordered a chorizo taco and a chicken taco. The chicken taco was chicken tenders. I was expecting pulled or stewed chicken. But the strips were well-seasoned and hearty. The chorizo did the job. Overall a solid meal. 3/5 stars El Álamo Mexican Restaurant, 58 N. Wolf Rd., Wheeling, IL 2 tacos & a Diet Coke $9.35
