4.0 of 5 stars. Holy mother of burritos... this place will definitely put you in a food coma. I generally don't like burritos, but I make the exception with El Famous. They are the self-proclaimed "home of the...

Yelp.com Review - by Sam C.

5.0 of 5 stars. Not much to look at hole-in-the-wall place with great food. Certainly as good if not better than most around Chicago and maybe the best place in the north suburbs. No they don't have some of the...

3.0 of 5 stars. Par for the course burritos. If you want a real burrito, hit up some mom-and-pop shops in the area.

5.0 of 5 stars. I was headed for Wendy's when I saw this place. A couple of tacos de pollo sounded better than a Wendy's chicken sandwich so I went in. Good call. The food was really excellent. The guy at the...
