El Taco Ranchero Naperville — Restaurant in Naperville

I hate to write this, because this was one of my favorite places since we moved to Naperville in 2019. We would go to their food truck at the mall, then they opened their restaurant on Washington, less than 10 mins from my house, and it was fantastic. I ordered a burrito almost weekly throughout my pregnancy in 2020. The food was SO good, and quite reasonably priced. We have gone there at least 1-2 times per month for years. UNFORTUNATELY, the quality and flavor has really fallen off a cliff, and the prices are almost unbelievable now.

We just ordered take out from there....$51 for 2 burritos (not the dinner), an order of chips/guacamole/salsa, and 2 Coca Colas. The food is awful. My steak burrito lacks that flavor that kept me coming back, and the steak is AWFUL (fatty, gristly, rubbery). My husband's pork burrito was also very disappointing. The chips, filling maybe 1/3 of a standard brown lunch bag, were very stale. I'm so frustrated and angry, this was such a waste of money ($51!!). I can confidently say that they lost some...

The Burrito al Pastor (pork) was fantastic, not dry, very juicy, yet they toast the sides so that it does not drain juices—a nice touch. Very well made. The mole sauce, guac/chili blend and salsa verde were all fantastic. The food appeared to all be made to order which was impressive.

Most importantly, the customer service was very friendly and helpful in describing the menu, as I was a first-timer. Will and have recommended to...

Beware the prices on their website don’t reflect the real prices. And they don’t tell you that when you order. Everything is at least $2 more than the online menu. Yes, I know inflation and prices are up, but $78 for 2- 3 tacos dinners, 1 chicken burrito dinner, an order of guac, and 2 orders of chips and salsa along with 1 horchata for carry out is ridiculous. I’ve paid less at good sit down Mexican with table service. I called to question the price after the fact and was told, “you’re right, it should only be $68”. Couldn’t credit back my card, so told me to come by and pick up $10. She had my number, drove 10 minutes back and when I showed up….was told, “the total was...
