Taco Dale Bolingbrook — Restaurant in Bolingbrook

I'm not Mexican so i can't say that I'm an expert on authentic Mexican food but I will say that I have eaten A LOT of authentic Mexican food and this doesn't compete with a single one of them. Maybe I came on a bad day or something but I completely disagree with the 4. whatever stars that this place was rated. I ordered my favorite. The steak torta with a horchata. When i opened the wrapper I saw a large clump of bread. I felt like I had a half loaf of bread that they filled with some steak, lettuce, tomato, avocado, a little cheese and a lot of mayonnaise. Yes I said Mayonnaise! Most places have sour cream instead of mayonnaise. I gave it to my dad to try and after one bite he threw up . Luckily that wasn't the case for me. However, I thought it was lacking flavor and the flavor that it did have was overshadowed by the loaf of tasteless bread. Furthermore, I tried the horchata and it was decent. I will say that the taste was better than most but i will also say that the bottom of my cup was filled with rice because the dispenser most likely should have been emptied and refilled. I will also say that the customer service was great and the place was clean which is why I gave 2 stars instead of one. But I am disappointed that the food wasn't up to par and that as a result, i will not allow myself to experience the customer service again...

Good food but super small place with everyone bumping into you and slow service. I called an order in and arrived 20mins later to wait another 25 for my food. This is unacceptable. Hopefully they change it soon cuz it's losing them business.

Update after going here two more times. Same stuff going on. Very disappointing! Slow service despite me ordering. I will order the food. 45 minutes ahead of time and still wait 25 to 30 minutes to pick up my food it is absolutely ridiculous and it's pointless to order online or by phone from this place

Update

I love how good the tacos are here but again, I was here on 1/16 and we ordered food at 645 and got there at 730 and food was not ready until 8. All I got was a burrito and chips and salsa. I'm surprised the owner has not addressed this issue with all the complaints!

Update 3/1/16

The last two times I have been there they have forgotten some things. The first time they forgot my order of rice and a tamale and last night they almost forgot my chips and salsa but I went back in and she knew she forgot it, but charged me for it. This can't...

I'd never heard of this place until my brother brought me here, now it's my go-to Mexican place. I've loved everything I've tried.

I'm a vegetarian, and my brother and husband are both meat eaters. Taco Dale has something for all of us, and I'm not limited to one or two options like at most Mexican places. They've got several veggie options for me, and the rest of my family loves their meaty things.

My fav thing is the veggie quesadillas. Their nacho plate is delicious and more than enough to share. And you get free tortilla chips and salsa while you wait for your meal. The food always comes fast, too. During all this COVID stuff, just call and order ahead so it will be ready when you get there. They had my whole family's meal ready in about 15 minutes the other day. I can't wait for the sit-in part to open again.

Oh, and they've got a shop attached to it that sells Mexican ice cream. It's super creamy and soooo good. And their scoops are huge. Love it! If you like Mexican food, definitely give this...
