Taco Patio - Numbers of Visits? Too Many To Keep Track Of!!

M.O.A.B. cheated this past weekend and went to a place where the burritos flow like wine and the women instinctively flock like the tacos of Capistrano. I'm talkin' about a little place called Taco Patio in Hanover Park, IL.

Taco Patio is M.O.A.B.'s usual haunt for all things burrito. Their scores may appear to the casual outside observer to be blatantly biased, to which M.O.A.B. can only respond, "Guilty as charged." But do know that these guys are good. And not just with burritos, but with everything that's been sampled from their menu.

The burrito ordered on this particular outing was the Steak burrito. With extra meat, sour cream and guacamole. This burrito belly bomber is H-U-G-E. It took a good day and a half to consume.

Taco Patio - Steak Burrito with extra meat. HUGE.

Wrap / Presentation * * * * *
The photo just really doesn't do the burrito justice. You can't really tell, but this guy is fairly impressive in size. The equally delicious avocado taco accompanying it doesn't really lend the right amount of scale. This guy is BIG. The guys at T.P. really know how to wrap a burrito of this size and scale. It's all wonderfully schtuffed and wrapped into two giant burrito tortillas. Impressive that it holds its shape considering the weight!

Fillings * * * * *
Steak - (real steak, not some fast food version of what they think a steak might be like, beans, cheese, tomato, and onion. Lettuce was kept out by request. (Yes, even T.P. will add lettuce.) M.O.A.B. was feeling peckish and asked for the extra meat version with sour cream and guacamole.

This is simply a GREAT burrito.

Staff * * * * *
My compadres at Taco Patio are the nicest bunch of guys on the planet! They are always polite and depending upon who's working, they may even know most of your order when you walk up. Gotta love that. Fast, friendly service. A+

Condiments * * * * *
Taco Patio offers the single best red mild sauce and hot green sauce. M.O.A.B. always asks for a couple of both. They go into plastic squirt bottles in the fridge and get used on everything else. Excellent sauces!

OVERALL AVERAGE SCORE: Five (5) whole stars for Taco Patio's extra meat burrito. A perfect score! Whoo hoo!!

Their tacos are fantastic, too. The avocado taco is very filling and extremely tasty. M.O.A.B. can also vouch for their lengua taco!

Taco Patio offers their burritos in different styles, too. Regular size... or... the belly bursting extra meat burrito. You can get them deep fried (!), covered in sauce, or covered with melted cheese.

For the total artery-clogging experience, try one that is deep-fried-covered-in-sauce-and-melted-cheese all on the same plate! Wow!
