    I stopped @ a gas station on Clark (Roger's Park,Chicago)saw my daughter's boyfriend and mentioned; "I wish I could find a good fish taco in the area" He said, "ever tried El FAM? It's the bomb!!(Mind you I've been in the neighborhood for 30 yrs, never heard of the place). I went that night--Oh My GOD! I've been searching for a good fish taco for about 3 years. It was awesome, Tilipia was fresh and so were the other ingredients (I add onion & cilantro). I only eat fish, so I can't speak on the other dishes but the fish taco is "THE BOMB"!

    I grew up thinking this is what a burrito should be. I went there tonight and relized how little I knew as a drunk teenager. This was the worst food I have eating in many years. The meat was fatty yet some how very dry. The suizo was a pennys worth and the overall taste was like eating meximush. I would say that when your on Clark St. there are soo many places that do a better job pick anyone of them and you will enjoy much more than this filth.

    El Famous is one of the best things about Chicago. I love that place.

    Oh, and as for the Big Burrito; Rick moved to Kalamazoo, MI when the BB got closed down by the health department.

    Hey, I wanna write a review for El Famous Burrito on ARCHER RD, IN SUMMIT. it is by far, the best famous burrito, around provided you know how to order. Get the chile relleno with melted cheese on top and a torta al pastor. Together, the go great. Other than that, I'd have to be on crack to say that El Famoso has great food. Me and my buddies Elias and Roberto go there after a long night of work to unwind. We're not expecting great food or even decent service. We go to pay homage to Senor Famoso and perpetuate the Tradicion. If you don't understand that, it's ok, there are only two other people than myself who do. Viva El famoso. And get those asshole gangbangers off the streets of Archer in Summit. I wanna enjoy my torta without worrying about gettin' fuckin shot.

    This resturant is one of the best Mexican resturants I have ever been to. The people that run the business gives great service, produces a great product, at a great price. I have been eating at this please since the late 80's. When ever I go to another Mexican resturant I always compare it to El Famous Burrito. They really set the bar high for other mexican resturants to get to.

    Do not go to the one in Elmhurst. The burrito meat was burnt and dryed out.
