Been eating here for years and the quality has always been great!The menu includes authentic tacos, burritos, and tortas! All made to order with fresh ingredients. The food is also served quick. The setting is casual and perfect for a quick bite by yourself or a dinner with friends. The staff is always helpful and attentive. If you are not sure what to order from the extensive menu, ask for a recommendation. Some of my personal favorites are anything with carne asada or avocado. This is also a wonderful place to try new things. My fiance and I had our first nopales here and loved them! We also tried some diverse types of tacos. If you want to try a bunch of different favors, I suggest ordering different tacos. They are small, but provide a lot of flavor.The prices here will also make your wallet happy. Excellent if you are hungry and on a budget, Even if you are new to the taqueria experience, this is a place to check out! A standard for the area where it is impossible to find something to like.

5. El Famous Burrito
Reviewed By ladydoc2006
A coworker and I were in town for a seminar and we happened to stop in today for lunch. We both ordered the chicken nachos and a bottle of Pepsi (bottled in Mexico, no less). I'm telling you, those were the best chicken nachos I've ever eaten. The guacamole was so good with fresh cilantro, I went back to the counter to purchase a container of guacamole to take home with me. We probably could've split one order of the nachos, but I'm glad I had them all to myself. I ate lunch nine hours ago, and I'm still full, im glad there isn't an El Famous Burrito in my town, or I'd eat there all the time and have to live at the gym to make up for it.The service was awesome too. Good people.

Picked up carry-out lunch. Everything was packaged very well. We had a couple combo plates and they even separated the crunchy tacos in separate containers from the enchiladas so the taco shells stayed crisp. I appreciate the attention to detail. The entire restaurant has gotten a makeover by the new owners. Looks great. I'll be back for sure.

I live near Harvard and my best friend lives in Chicago. This is a perfect mid-point for us to both take the train and meet in Arlington Heights. There are quite a few very good dining spots here, but Salsa 17 has become our favorite. Not the least reason is a server, Marisol, that we've been lucky enough to have most times we're there. The prices are just a scooch high, but not enough to go somewhere else. The Margaritas are terrific, incuding a "skinny" low cal version. I've had several dishes, and everyone has been very good, so have no apprehension at ordering your favorite, feeling confident that it will be satisfying and filling. I can't pick a favorite yet, I'm still experimenting with something different every time we go.Tableside prepared Guacamole is very tasty and fresh. Even when very crowded, service is good and attentive.

Family got together for a little celebration here. The creations were very interesting but liked authentic Mexican flavor. Several dishes were a mish mosh of ingredients that added up to something-just not real Mexican.

This place was recommended by a friend who lives in the area. Went on a weeknight with three others and we were seated immediately. Pleasant place with a small bar (maybe 10-12 stools). Without collusion, three of us settled on "Mia's Enchiladas." You can choose any combination of filling: cheese, chicken or ground beef. Accompanied by potatoes and carrots, you also have your choice of sauces. I went with the mole. The whole thing, with lettuce, cheese and sour cream, was delicious. Dessert was donuts! I shared 5 small donuts with another eater. They came with cinnamon dusting and a chocolate dipping sauce. Add a good selection of beers and specialty drinks and you have a nice Mexican dinner. I'm told there is another one of these in another suburban town. If I'm near either, I'm stopping in to take another pass at this delicious-looking menu. Service was great. Parking is on-street but was not a problem. About $25 apiece including drinks and dessert.
