Taco Pros Glen Ellyn operates at **850 Roosevelt Rd,** [**Glen Ellyn**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Ellyn,_Illinois)**, IL 60137**, on Roosevelt Road in DuPage County — a village of 28,846 residents settled in 1834 and officially incorporated on May 10, 1892, located 24 miles due west of downtown Chicago. The restaurant serves authentic Mexican cuisine **7 days a week from 10:00 AM to 9 PM** and takes orders by phone at **(262) 344-3312**. Roosevelt Road runs east-west as Glen Ellyn's primary commercial corridor, connecting Interstate 355 at the village's eastern edge to Wheaton and the western DuPage suburbs. Dave Mordis defined the format in a single sentence: "Taco Pros is exactly what a fast-casual taco spot should be — simple, clean, and fast!"

Glen Ellyn's median household income of **$118,208** and median family income of **$169,358** rank among the highest in DuPage County — a market where restaurant quality, ingredient freshness, and speed of service determine repeat patronage. The village serves as an employment center anchored by the College of DuPage (3,837 employees) and Glenbard Township High School District 87, generating a weekday lunch crowd along Roosevelt Road. Trinity Burke arrived at Taco Pros after searching for a replacement taco spot: "Ever since Cilantro changed their taco seasoning and portion size I've been searching for a new taco place and the seasoning for the steak tacos here are SO good!!!"

## **Glen Ellyn Menu: What Roosevelt Road Orders at 850**

The full Taco Pros menu runs across **8 categories and 58 items** at the Glen Ellyn location. Dave Mordis surveyed the breadth: "The menu is straightforward but packed with fresh, flavorful options. The tacos are delicious, with high-quality ingredients and just the right balance of flavors. Whether you're into classic carne asada, zesty chicken, or fresh veggie options, there's something for everyone." That range starts with 6 protein options available across every entrée category — veggie, picadillo (ground beef with diced potatoes and carrots in tomato broth), carne asada (skirt steak in citrus-garlic marinade), pollo (chipotle chicken in adobo sauce), barbacoa (beef cheek slow-braised in dried chili adobo), and al pastor (spit-roasted pork carved from the trompo with achiote and guajillo chili paste).

[Street tacos](https://taco-pros.com/tacos/) arrive on 6-inch corn tortillas topped with cilantro, diced white onion, and a choice of salsa roja or salsa verde. Trinity Burke specifically praised the steak taco seasoning — the carne asada tacos feature skirt steak marinated in citrus-garlic marinade, grilled on the plancha at high heat, and sliced against the grain. Trinity also noted the visual presentation: "The toppings always look fresh and aren't just thrown everywhere, it actually looks like the pictures." That plating consistency — cilantro and diced white onion arranged on the tortilla with the protein centered — carries across every taco order whether dine-in or takeout.

## **Protein Bowls, Chipotle Comparison, and the Taco Tuesday Deal**

Mikey B. compared the Glen Ellyn protein bowls directly against the national chain benchmark: "The bowls here blow Chipotle out of the water. The food is great actually." The [protein bowl](https://taco-pros.com/burritos/) layers a choice of white cilantro-lime rice or brown rice with black beans or pinto beans, fajita vegetables, roasted chili-corn salsa, Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream — all without a tortilla shell. The carne asada protein bowl tops the base with skirt steak grilled on the plancha, sliced against the grain, and served over the rice-and-bean foundation with house-made salsas.

Mikey B. also flagged the weekly value deal: "And their Taco Tuesday deal is really good." The **Taco Tuesday** promotion runs every Tuesday at the Glen Ellyn location, offering discounted taco pricing across all 6 protein options on corn tortillas with cilantro, onion, and salsa. The burrito menu wraps each protein in a 12-inch flour tortilla with cilantro-lime rice, pinto beans, Monterey Jack cheese, crema mexicana, pico de gallo, and fajita vegetables — a format that Mikey B.'s Chipotle comparison positions as a higher-quality alternative to the fast-casual national chain at a comparable price point.

## **Nachos Supreme, Fresh Ingredients, and the Local Gem Discovery**

Lucia Ramírez ordered the nachos supreme on her first visit and detailed the quality: "I ordered the Nachos Supreme and a drink, and the flavor was incredible, every bite was packed with fresh and delicious ingredients." The nachos supreme layers house-crisped tortilla chips made from nixtamalized corn with seasoned protein, melted Monterey Jack cheese, refried beans, pico de gallo, guacamole (Hass avocados ground in a basalt molcajete with lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño, and sea salt), crema mexicana, and pickled jalapeños — a loaded appetizer that functions as a shareable entrée for dine-in groups.

Lucia confirmed the value proposition for the Glen Ellyn market: "The prices are more than reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get." Appetizers at the Glen Ellyn counter also include cheese quesadillas on flour tortillas, elote (Mexican street corn with cotija, mayo, and chili powder), and chips paired with freshly made guacamole. [Sides](https://taco-pros.com/sides/) include Mexican rice (arroz rojo cooked in chicken broth with tomato paste and cumin), refried beans (pinto beans mashed with lard and topped with queso fresco), french fries seasoned with salt, paprika, and chili powder, tortilla chips, and carne asada fries loaded with grilled steak, cheese, and guacamole. Lucia's overall assessment positioned the restaurant as a neighborhood discovery: "This place is a gem, and I can't wait to come back!"

## **Fast-Casual Format, Catering Service, and Staff at 850**

Dave Mordis described the fast-casual format that defines the Glen Ellyn operation: "The restaurant itself is spotless, with a modern yet welcoming vibe. The service is quick, making it perfect for a lunch break or a grab-and-go meal." The counter-service model matches every Taco Pros location — orders placed at the register, prepared fresh in the open kitchen, and delivered to the table or packaged for takeout. Lucia Ramírez confirmed the staff quality: "The customer service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and cared about my time there."

Dave singled out the catering operation as a standout: "Bonus points for their catering service! If you need a hassle-free way to bring great food to a party or office event, Taco Pros has you covered. Thanks Andy!" The personal mention of Andy — a staff member who handles catering coordination — adds a named-employee signal that reinforces the location's service identity. Jennifer Wall echoed the staff warmth at her visit: "Very nice, very fast, very good." The [enchilada dinner](https://taco-pros.com/enchiladas-dinner/) plates 3 corn tortilla enchiladas with Mexican rice and refried beans — available in veggie, picadillo, carne asada, pollo, cheese, and barbacoa, each rolled in house-made chili sauce from dried guajillo and árbol peppers.
