Taqueria Los Comales Elgin

About

This family-run taqueria in Elgin's Mexican community serves regional cooking that reflects the owners' roots, whether that's slow-cooked mole from Oaxaca, fresh ceviches from the coast, or house-made tortillas pressed throughout service. The counter-service setup and modest dining room prioritize food over frills, drawing a steady mix of regulars who come for consistency and cooks who understand their regional specialties rather than generic "Mexican-American" interpretations. Mezcal and beer complement a menu built on technique and ingredient quality—the kind of place where lunch crowds speak Spanish and the kitchen doesn't cut corners.
