Picked up food from here because we got a discount. We ordered a chicken huarache which was spicy and topped with potatoes. Plus it came in a big tortilla instead of a "sope" style bottom. This is not how it is made. I couldn't even eat it. We ordered my son a torta de Milanesa de pollo which was so tough we could barely even cut it with a knife! Hubby had some steak tacos with rice and beans which were not so great either. The chorizo taco he ordered also tasted like nothing. How does chorizo not have flavor?! The steak quesadilla was okay but doesn't make up for the rest of the poorly tasting and looking food. I would rather go somewhere else next time. I would not recommend. People are nice so I couldn't bring it to 1 star due to that.

Great taqueria!! Really nice staff, fresh ingredients and very reasonably priced. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area.

All I can say it yum. I get a burrito with no tomatoes about 3 times a week.

This place is really good! I was starving and needed to eat. Had two steak tacos and one al pastor Mexican style. Tacos were so good I ate one there and had to leave to
enjoy the other two in the privacy of my home. The meats were cooked to perfection and the toppings were super fresh! This is the best taco stand I have found in the burbs that compares to my favorite taco place in the city, Tecalitan (Chicago ave and Wolcott). The chips seemed fresh and all three salsas were good, but not great. Tecalitan still has the best salsa. I wish this place had later hours. Finally a good Mexican restaurant in the western suburbs! Thought I was never going to find one.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jackie A.Mount Prospect, IL1628215Oct 5, 2016
The outside is deceiving. This place has friendly people, authentic homemade food (I really like the steak huarache), fresh hot chips and salsa, and reasonable prices. It's a bit slow but I'm sure they could tell we weren't in a hurry.

My wife and I have been going to Dos Franciscos since probably 2003. We're vegans, so really appreciate and love the bean avocado burritos they make for us. For us, Friday night is Burrito Night! I especially love the green tomatillo salsa. And they're very nice people!

This is a second review.
Okay, so one year later...same thing. I couldn't remember what I ordered a year ago so I ordered enchiladas rojas this time. Eek! Methinks not!
First, I did not like how the red sauce was made, they did not use chihuahua cheese (they used parmesan!?!?), and lastly, they topped it with cheddar cheese! Not Cotija! WTH! Is this place Mexican? I pretty much just ate the rice and beans which were mediocre.
The service is very good though, they are very friendly but I'm sorry I don't see myself going back. I rarely give second chances.
Also, compared to another Mexican restaurant in the area, it was slightly more expensive and I'm not going to pay extra when I can go to the other restaurant that has better food and lower prices.
TIP: Be Authentic!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Jul 6, 2012Previous reviewI ordered here once and have not been back. All I remember is that the food was very bland. Once you're used to south side Mexican it's hard to find a good place in the suburbs and even the north side of Chicago!!
I feel bad because it's a new business but I honestly can't see myself ever going back. - Michael H.Streamwood, IL105Apr 15, 2013
Service great. Food great (huge burrito, authentic tacos, super fresh guac). Ready in minutes. We wish we had found these folks a long time ago.
Not a single complaint and for 25 bucks we got at least two meals (each, wife and me) of quality, tasty food. Highly recommend.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jorge M.Maywood, IL01May 4, 2019
The food was very good. usually a picky eater but this place was delicious. The service was fast and friendly. And the prices were cheap. I will be coming back again.

Absolute best Mexican food! I have had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. The fish tacos are my absolute favorite! Give it a try and support small local businesses! Love the owners!!
