El Alegre Burrito — Restaurant in Proviso Township

I hate to write this but.... This was not a great experience... The food is definitely not impressive... Especially if you're latino and know better... Prices went up which is expected but... They dont offer chips and salsa... Tortillas cost a restaurant less than $0.50 a pack... Restaurants only need half a pack to a table... That means that the investment only cost $0.25 to make customers happy. Makes no sense to not provide that if you dine-in. Ok no biggie, but then my mother ordered coffee... They gave her coffee in a Styrophone cup... 🤦🏽‍♂️. My mother is 74 years old... lol... This was just tasteless as a customer... The food was not impressive at all as I mentioned... If you're gonna raise your price you better be able to compete with others... I rather had ate at the Thai restaurant next door or Giordanos... Sorry not sorry... The only thing I will say is that they are friendly... just hope they get in tuned with whats going on... You can't be charging people $13 for a 3 taco dinner and offer coffee in a plastic cup and no chips with salsa... If the Tacos are fire 🔥 then its understandable... but them little plain tacos are not worth it... The Torta, enchilada, and rice were not expressive either... Step it up... Especially if you wanna stay in business long term... I do wish...

Meh. Not bad, but certainly not very good. Food did not seem to be made with loving care by someone who really knows how to cook. Refried beans tasted slightly metallic, like they can they surely came out of. It was food, and sometimes that's enough. But this is not a place I would ever go out of my way to get to.

Pictured: A plate of completely forgettable Enchiladas Verde with a slightly sour one dimensional verde sauce, canned beans, a slice of not quite ripe tomato and a small clump of iceberg lettuce, plus, the rice I didn't eat and scraped off of my plate into the garbage. I've gotten 2AM taco bell drive through made by stoned high school kids that was better than this....

I've seen this place in passing going to get pizza next door or going to the store. You'll miss it if you don't pay attention it's literally a small little hole in the wall place. I got steak tacos and pastor with rice water. Let me tell you from the moment I walked in a was blown away how nice it is for being so small. The lady at the counter was so polite. It was a awesome experience it looks like they have alittle sit down area as well outside and you can sit inside it's limited but was nice. Food was delicious when I got it home o I almost forgot they had tamales!! Very reasonable price for food and awesome experience. I will be back for dinner...
