Taqueria Muniz

Another taco spot within walking distance of home? I’m in love.
We headed here for dinner on a Saturday night and it was busy! Dining in is a lot more comfortable here than Jalisco Tacos, there are more tables available and you won’t shiver every time someone opens the door.
There’s music playing, so you’re not just subjected to episodes of Sabado Gigante.
The Cochinita Pibil (shredded pork) are to die for! The steak were also very good, and my husband really liked the chorizo.
Chips and salsa are complimentary and delicious. We also ordered guacamole which was too creamy for my liking and didn’t pack much flavor. The horchata was okay too (sorry, but Jalisco is much better).
No complaints. No major dislikes. Food is inexpensive, comfortable environment, service was good, and we’ll definitely be back!

Their pastor is my favorite here and their sopes. Wish their tacos were bigger though and their steak lacks flavor. They menudo is pretty good as well. Best mexican food Ive had in Aurora and their prices are reasonable.

Wow! this place get so much respect from me. I did a return visit and ate in rather than took out.
That made a world of difference. I got to see first-​hand how good (and friendly) the service is. The other part of that good service is that I was kindly guided through the normal toppings for tacos I had never had before. Nicely done, I didn’t feel foolish at all the way they took care of me!
I can honestly say the Conchinta Pibil was a treasure, however I loved the Taco de Alambre. I can’t go back to Asada anymore. It didn’t need anything but what it came with.
I also liked the Chipotle salsa (in the bottle) very good.
I am grateful that the meal was great, inexpensive and served with so much Aloha
Muchas gracias!

Agua de Jamaica is not too sweet and not bitter… it’s just right. Tacos are small but pack a punch in taste. Red salsa is spicy and delicious

Easy to miss due to the location, but don’t miss — outstanding service, affordable, delicious food and an amazing selection. Our first time, we had the steak, pork, chorizo tacos and a chicken burrito. Everything was fresh and they even pressed the burrito to crisp it up. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

I really like this restaurant. The food is good, and the service is also good. I have told many of my co-​workers about this place and they order from here frequently as well now. I use to only go to Fajitas Mexican Restaurant in Lagrange for Mexican food.
That was the only mexican restaurant that i trusted. I’m from romeoville and bolingbrook, and i haven’t had a good experience with el burrito loco in bolingbrook and Ruby’s burrito’s in romeoville is even more racist towards black people. So if my mexican family members didn’t cook dinner at they’re house.
I’ll would just eat a salad or I’ll go all the way to lagrange for Mexican food (i love mexican food) but i found this place, because it is close to my job and i like it. I feel comfortable here.

I am from California and this is the best Mexican food here in Aurora I love it and I will be here every single time I come to visit

Best Mexican food!!! I have EVER tasted! The steak anything is outstanding!!! The steak is always perfectly cooked and seasoned. Large variety of choices. Steak torta is one of my favorites. All of the other entrees that I’ve tried have been very good also. Kid friendly menu also I take my kids with all the time. I have also used them for catering reasonable pricing and portions. Staff is always very helpful and happy. Owner and family are very involved, great to support local family establishments like this.

It looks like a little hole in the wall, but don’t let that fool you. It has some of the freshest and most delicious Mexican food I’ve had. The steak burrito and pastor (pork) tacos are my favorites, and Muñiz has never done me wrong when it comes to a fast, but satisfying meal.

I had this for lunch today. Service is good. It was very busy almost all tables were full by the time I was done. I had the taco dinner. Tried 3 different tacos. Cochinta Pibl… Seasoned shredded pork with pickled onion. Yummy but spicy. The Tacos de Alambre… Steak fajita flavored (My Favorite) Tender and delicious. And last the Pollo (Chicken) Was good but as chicken tacos go good. Wish they had Tamales on the menu. I will be ordering here again.

I used to live in downtown Aurora for 2 years so you better believe I’ve tried at least 10 – 15 different Mexican places! This one has my favorite tortas and tacos; they are always consistent and their guac is amazing as well.

Excellent food! Taco steak comes hot right off the grill, salsa is fresh, and service is on point. Its a tad pricier than other taco places, but worth the price.

I have been to this restaurant multiple times and it exceeds expectations every time. I go for the tacos and have tried every meat offering; my favorite has to be the Tacos de Alambre.
I ventured to try the chimichanga, the last time I was in, and it was delicious full of rice, beans, cheese and tons of meat with the lettuce, avocado, sour cream and more cheese sprinkled on top. It is not greasy at all and I have had that before with fried tortillas at other Mexican establishments.
The salsa is usually spicy but today it was medium which is one tidbit that varies from visit to visit. The guacamole is a great starter and you can tell the owner takes pride in their ingredients because although I order it every time I come in, some times they will say they didn’t get in quality avocados to use which is appreciated because when you do get the guac it is fresh and simply delicious! I would highly recommend stopping in for a bite!

This Mexican restaurant is one of the best. The food is always hot & tasty. The sauce is a little on the hot side. So, be prepared.

In my opinion this is the best mexican resturant in aurora. My goto meal is the Lengua tacos and theyre excellent. Every thing i have tried here has been very good and the service is great.

Taqueria Muniz has opened a smaller location off Rt. 25. The old location of Tacos Maria’s which was one of my favorite locations for Mexican food, breakfast, lunch or dinner.
When I first arrived the atmosphere had changed completely. The outdoor patio was gone, the walls repainted, I was excited. But when we got inside although things got a big upgrade the staff was very confused about what bacon was. I used to order bacon egg and cheese tacos before. I understood they didn’t have any so we tried steak egg and cheese tacos. Our waitress didnt even know what Orange Juice was and asked us if Orange Crush was a better option.
The food was served and to our surprise there was hair in the food. The chips and salsa they served were partially burnt.
The salsa was the only great feature to this small, depressing hole in the wall.
Please give this place a little bit more time, the wait staff are very inexperienced, and the cook is very unprofessional. Wearing gloves and hair net out onto floor and touching register.

This is my absolute favorite place for tacos. Amazingly fresh ingredients and meat that is seasoned to perfection. I feel that the price is adequate for what you are getting in return. Staffed by mainly family members who are always friendly and give great service. Always very clean and you can see your food being prepared. Would definitely recommend.

Just ate at Taqueria Muniz last night with friends and had a great time. We started with guacamole which was delicious. I had the taco plate which comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans. The alambra (sp) taco was the best. The server recommended it to me and it beat the other two choices I made. The cochinita pibil was really good too but it had a few too many onions on it for me but if you love onions, you’ll love it. We also had their version of a shrimp cocktail, it’s like a soupy concoction with shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, etc. It was delicious. We will definitely be back. They don’t serve alcohol so don’t come expecting it. Give Muniz a try!

Okay so I go here often and I will admit that the food is really good! the meat is very tasty I love it. The only reason why I’mm not giving 5 stars is because the portions have gotten smaller and keep getting smaller and prices keep going up. I had a torta, 5 tacos and 2 drinks my total was $ 22 plus tip. The owner has become more greedy I remember when his portions were at least normal. I noticed the bread for the torta is smaller. So the things that get me mad is the small portions and the high price. Also the restaurant can use some renovations, the restroom is just nasty there’s some sort of wall paper peeling off.
Before I forget, the salsa is cold and the chips are hard, you will be way better off going to a different restaurant that serves bigger portions and same quality meat.

This restaurant serves some of the most satisfying food I’ve ever consumed. Everything is super-​fresh and flavorful at great prices (the taco dinner I’m getting ready to rave about was $ 7.95!) You really want to eat at Taqueria Muniz!
Yesterday, I headed south on Lake Street with thoughts of a taco dinner dancing in my head. I walked in the door, was greeted by a couple of friendly employees, and sat myself down in one of their simple old-​school restaurant booths. They brought out some very tasty chips and salsa for me to munch on while awaiting my taco-​based feast.
Their taco dinner consists of three tacos with rice and beans on the side. I got three different meats: chicken, shredded beef, and shredded pork. It’s impossible to say witch one was the best: all three meats were delicious (and so was the side of rice and beans!) This is the kind of food you just keep eating long after you’re totally full. Resist the urge to lick your plate clean…
The Aurora area has many excellent options when it comes to Mexican food, but in my opinion, you’d have a hard time finding anything better than Taqueria Muniz!
