Rip Off I've eaten here a total of three times and the food is acceptable but nothing special. The last time, and I do mean last, when I paid my $86 bill with a $10 tip because the service was average as usual. I was surprised when I checked my bank account later that week and saw that they had added a 1 on my tip and made it a $110 tip. When I called them to rectify the matter-they insisted that I had indeed tipped $110. Needless to say I did not and will have my bank take care of it from here. I have heard of people having... read more

There are other places to eat I have tried this restaurant five times. My order was wrong every time. They have been busy 3 out of the 5 times, but there was a long wait every time I ordered. They are expensive as well. A steak taco typically costs about $1.50 in this area, and they charge $2.10. That doesn't even come with tomato, salsa, or lettuce. they charge an unbelievable 95 cents EACH if you want lettuce, tomato, sauces or sour cream. Other places usually put that on their tacos for free. Their menu selections are typ... read more

Family Favorite! – My parents literally go here about once a week, its their favorite place to go. The prices are very reasonable, including the drinks. The drinks are good, the margaritas are good and you get your money's worth on the tequila. Most restaurants water it down and charge you 10 bucks, but not this place! The food is great, always fresh and authentic. The staff is friendly and prompt, there is always someone to step in and help. The staff and managers even recognize my parents when they come in. Always the go-t... read more

RIP OFF!!! – The last time I ate there my bill was $86 and I tipped $10 because not only was the service slow but the food was average. I checked my bank account later that week and found that instead of $10, they had charged me for a $110 tip. Needless to say I called them to tell them that either a mistake had been made or someone on their staff was cheating their customers. No help at all. I will rely upon my bank to rectify the mistake and will not visit this establishment again.

BAD MANAGEMENT PRACTICES – WE USE TO EAT THERE ALL THE TIME & WE ALWAYS TIP BASED ON PREFORMANCE. THIS LAST TIME THERE WHEN WE RECIEVED THE BILL, THEY ADDED ON A 15% GRATUITY (THAT IS ONLY SUPPOSE TO APPLY TO PARTIES OF 6 OR MORE). WHEN CONFRONTED ABOUT IT,THEY SAID THAT WE NEVER GIVE A TIP (WHICH IS DEFANTILY NOT TRUE!!!!!!) AND THAT THEY GET PAID OFF OF THEIR TIPS. I TOLD THEM THAT WE DO TIP AND GENEROUSLY WHEN SERVICE IS GOOD, AND THAT NO MATTER WEITHER WE TIP OR NOT, IT IS NOT THEIR RIGHT TO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO TI... read more

Great food – All I have to say is the person below me must really not go to Mexican restaurants often. Tecate, Dos Equis and Corona are all Mexican beer and it is in their tradition for most to put limes in their beers. Also, beans is a part of a Mexican meal, so to complain about it (unless you ordered it without beans) is just stupidity. That being said, I do agree that their chips are usually stale. I go there quite often and that is the only complaint I have. The food is delicious. I have ordered several things off their... read more

Bad....bad service, bad drinks, bad food......and slow!!! – Wow. We had heard good things about Friaco's in Joliet, and decided to visit the location near Fox Valley in Aurora/Naperville. Boy were we disappointed. First, the good --the atmosphere is nice. The booths have very cool carvings of the restaurant name and bright painted chili's, etc....it's a neat place. Now the bad. Starting at the bar....they put a lime in every beer, whether you order a Tecate, Dos Equis, Corona, XX. The standard margarita stinks...it's poured ... read more
