Reviews for Taco Real and pupuseria in Carol Stream, IL
Food is spot on and authentic! So good! Horchata is great too, a lot of places tend to make it so watered down it?s flavorless,... here they make theirs great ???????? Items I?ve had: pork and cheese pupusas, chicken and cheese pupusas, steak tacos, cassavaand fried pork, and horchata. All are amazing! Highly recommend the pork and cheese!???? The one and only caveat or ?complaint?I have would be that the pupusas are extremely greasy..and I mean dripping, saturated/drenched in grease. I still love thembecause they?re so tender and flavorful, but I definitely have to towel dab it or let it sit on a wire wrack to get a lot of thegrease off. If they used less grease then it would be a strong 10/10. Apart from that, everything is great and the guys in thereare so nice Read more
As soon as I walk in I get a bad smell, maybe sewer. I never had popusas and I don't know if I ever will, big... disappointment.....also the owner had Milagro tortillas for sale, I asked how much being that they're a bit more difficult tofind, she said $1.69 per pack????, I mean seriously.

Ordered food here tonight. Moved to the area not too long ago so I've been trying to find a good authentic Mom and Pop Mexican... Restaurant. I ordered a burrito, tamales, chips and salsa, and a taco. (I promise I don't eat this much usually, just wanted tosample a bit of everything lol). Steak Burrito: Solid choice, nothing mind blowing but a decent tasting burrito. 4/5 ChickenTamales: I worked with a lady that used to make tamales with the corn husk, and every place I have ordered tamales from don'tseem to get it right. Flavor or spice wise. These guys do. Best tamales I've had from a restaurant. 5/5 Chips and Salsa: Salsais delicious. Chips were a little on the salty side but good nonetheless. 4/5 Steak Taco: This one was slightly disappointingto me. Even with the green sauce added on, the meat still tasted dry and there wasn't a lot of flavors. All I could really tastewas the sauce and the tortilla. 3/5 A factor of this place that is superb is the price point. I felt I got good value for mymoney across the board. All of what I listed above for less than $20. A generously sized burrito, two tamales (I honestly onlythought I was going to get one), a bag of chips with a soup bowl full of salsa, and a normal sized taco. The pricing definitelymakes this place worth the money, and if nothing else I most certainly will be returning for the tamales and burrito. Read more
Great Tacos, very nice workers, very fast service, favorite place for a horchattaaa, my brother loves the pupusas he cannot stop... buying them Read more
The popusas are worth driving 20+ minutes to take out. Place appears pretty authentic and service is generally quick.
Very Nice place. Tacos are amazing. Pupusas are great as well. Very nice dine in place. Lots of parking. Next to 7 eleven.
The pupusas are AMAZING here. Better than you can find at any other Taco Real. No bathrooms here. But I give the food a 10/5.
Went for the first time today because i've really been wanting to try the Pupusas. They were AMAZING! Had an all cheese one and... one with cheese and chicken. I regret not getting more! Also the Horchata was delicious! Got a burrito dinner as well; heftyburrito and just as good as the rest of the food! They have a good sized menu and the man at the counter was very kind! Willdefinatley be back again! Read more
