    The building could use a little spit and polish, but great food. This is the 2nd best one i've been to, with only Buffalo Grove better

    Great value for the amount of food you get. Make sure you try the red sauce on whatever you order.

    The kitschy 70s decor doesn't overshadow the great food.

    El Famous has the best burritos in the suburbs. Grab a side of refried beans too.

    I've had much better Mexican food but $1.25 on Tuesdays and Thursdays is hard to pass up.
