Lil Donkeys 499 North Main Street, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137
About the Business
Lil Donkeys is a unique and authentic Mexican food institution located at 499 North Main Street in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, United States. Unlike traditional American-style burritos, our burritos are made the way they are in Mexico: with a flour tortilla, beans, your choice of filling, and nothing else - simple deliciousness without the extra fillers.
The name "Lil Donkeys" comes from a popular story dating back to the early 1900s during the Mexican Revolution, where a man named Juan Mendez from Chihuahua, Mexico sold food from a cart pulled by a donkey. To keep the food warm, he would wrap it in a homemade flour tortilla. While the exact origins of burritos are debated, the Diccionario de Mejicanismos from 1895 mentions burritos as rolled tortillas with meat or other ingredients inside, popular in Guanajuato, central Mexico.
At Lil Donkeys, we strive to bring you the authentic flavors of Mexico in every bite. Come visit us and experience the true taste of Mexican cuisine.

Reviews
"These burritos are different and very tasty. We love the camarone. Quality sauces and ingredients!"
"I ordered the burrito carne special. This is what i got… pizza was what we went with after ."
"Like everything that comes out of the kitchen at ‘A Toda Madre’, the brick-and-mortar that hosts this virtual restaurant, the food is absolutely fantastic. We have ordered multiple times now and it has only gotten better since when we first tried it opening night. The current special, pollo con mole, is the best offering yet. They recommend 2-3 burritos for the “hungry” to “very hungry” eater, and that feels about right. 2 would probably be enough for me most meals, but I always go with 3 just to be sure I can order a nice variety. Highly recommended. Carry-out and delivery only. (If looking to sit down, A Toda Madre is one of the best restaurants in Chicagoland and absolutely shouldn’t be missed.)"
"Delicious...as expected from the ATM kitchen. Pork was the favorite, but carne and chicken were also excellent. Burritos were quite a bit larger than we expected from the description. I would say one is a normal portion and two would be plenty even if you’re quite hungry. Three would be an enormous meal! This will be a new pandemic takeout staple for our house."
