About the Business
Taqueria Aurora, located at 645 North Elmwood Drive in Aurora, Illinois, is a family-owned bar and restaurant that offers delicious Mexican cuisine inspired by the region of "Los Altos" in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. The Velazquez family, led by Jazmine, the General Manager and Daughter of the Founder, and her sister Stephanie, the Manager, have worked hard to create a welcoming and authentic dining experience for their customers.
The Velazquez family's journey of entrepreneurship began with the owner's father, who instilled the values of hard work and dedication in his children. After immigrating to the United States in the mid-’80s, the Velazquez family found a new home in Aurora, where they have lived for over 30 years. In 2018, they fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening Taqueria Aurora, a restaurant that pays tribute to the owner's late mother and the city they love.
At Taqueria Aurora, you can enjoy a variety of traditional Mexican dishes, including tacos filled with juicy, steamed beef and served with a side of seasoned beef broth, cilantro, onion, and lime juice. They also offer meat and vegetarian options served on lettuce wraps. In addition, the restaurant features special deals throughout the week, such as $3 beer on Mondays, $6 Micheladas on Tuesdays, and $5 Margaritas on Wednesdays.
The Velazquez family is grateful for the support they have received since opening Taqueria Aurora and looks forward to serving their customers for many more years to come. Visit them soon to experience the flavors of their hometown and the warmth of their family values.
Reviews
"Excellent food. The Bistec ala Mexicana was so delicious! Service started exceptionally well but fizzled out after we received our entrees. We didn't see our waiter for over 30 minutes and went up front to get our check."
"Food is ok. I feel like it’s overpriced for the quality of their food. I have gone here a couple of times and yet not one visit has changed my mind. I feel like their food needs a little more flavor."
"I have been coming here for over a year, and they haven't disappointed. Service is always welcoming. The atmosphere is very nice and always clean. The food always has flavor. Their eating area fits at least forty people. They red and green hit sauces are very delicious. I will definitely recommend this restaurant."
"Visited during lunch time, they had quick service. The dining area is clean and nice, the prices on the menu reflect it. I was surprised to see the high prices. Al Pastor was good but not the best I have had. The tortillas were fresh along with the chips they provided."
