Before you read this review, I want you to know that this is not satire. As far fetched as may or may not seem, this is 100% true and I swear that there is no fabrication whatsoever.

[]BOOK 1[] -Prologue- This is a story I have told many times. I hold this memory very close to my heart and will cherish it forever. It's my freshman year of college. I'm not one to stay up late (at college), but it's the week before Thanksgiving break. I'm with a few friends in their room, we're craming for our upcoming exams.

-Chapter 1- The clock strikes midnight. After a few hours of studying, I explain that I'm really hungry and could go for a bite. Without any plans, we make our way to leave dorm. I guess we were making a bit of noise because someone peeks their head out of literally every other door down the hall asking "y'all getting food". By the time we make it out, there's maybe 20 or so people with us outside. I ask the crowd, so "what's even open right now?" In the crowd, someone says "TBK". "What's TBK" I ask". "Taco Burrito King". It was the only place open at the hour within walking distance. The crowd of us hungry college kids make our way.

-Chapter 2- I order a Junior burrito with chicken. I didn't want to risk eating something large as the crowd had given mixed reviews about the establishment. To my surprise, the Junior burrito was quite large. I was also given two Salsas, one green and one red. I took one bite and was satisfied. I cannot say with confidence if the burrito was good, or I was just really hungry. Overall, the night was one I really enjoyed. I made many new friends, got a pretty neat college story to tell, and found a new restaurant to support me when I get hungry late at night.

-Epilogue- This school year, I learned of a restaurant that was always there to support me. Whenever I was broke, starving, and at my worst, TBK was open and...

TBK is one of the best fast food Mexican places in Chicago and surrounding suburbs. I'very been to almost every TBK place and they have not disappointed. If I'm not mistaken the one in Niles IL is open 24 hrs and has a drive thru and has a bar which of course they serve alcohol other Tbk'so are open till 2 am or 3 am. I'mean Latino so I know pretty much what is over priced and what isn't. If this places has a higher price than other places it's only because they give huge portions of food. Tacos are served with lettuce,tomatoes, cheese and sour cream, these tacos are full size, not like Los Comales that give tacos 2.5 inch size tacos Flautas. are huge almost takes up your whole plate. They have daily specials along with a monthly special. All and all they are a good place to eat, yes everyone has a bad experience from time to time, so this is based on mind which I have nothing...
