Taco Restaurants near Melrose Park

“I absolutely love Big Rigs! From their food truck to their restaurant, their food is always so delicious. My go to is always a Quesadilla de Alpastor (tortilla hecha a mano). They’re a pretty decent size, I get full with just one ? definitely always recommend this place to people ?“

“I heard that this place has a spicy hot sauce and I drove an hour to find out. Hands down one of the best food I have had. The peanut sauce was amazing. Gotta admit that after mixing the sauces and the onions with habanero I was sweating it was good spicy. Will definitely come back and enjoy the food.“

“We visited this place for a quick bite after church. I was in the mood for pozole, but unfortunately the caldo was very strongly flavored with what tasted like tomato sauce. The pork in the pozole was extremely fatty and it just wasn't appetizing. I rated the service a 5 because the waitress was EXTREMELY accommodating and wonderful. She quickly took the bowl away and within 5 minutes brought me 3 of the most amazing steak tacos ever!The best part was that they didn't even charge us for the soup. I'd definitely go back here to try other menu items just because they were so accommodating.“

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.“

“I must say that the food was very delicious, the service from Daniel was excellent, the quesabirrias are delicious, and the micheladas are on point, I highly recommend this place and I hope to return soon, every time I come on a trip to Chicago this is my place favorite.“

“Best tacos in Logan square sorry not sorry this is my go to taco spot always I love the service the workers are very attentive team spicy tacoooossss ????Vegetarian options: Never had a veggie taco till I tried one here and it is officially my favorite Taco on the list “

“Beautiful restaurant, screams chicago definitely very unique I had asada and pastor tacos. they were delicious they had a good amount of meat in em definitely worth their price. The horchata was delicious as well not at all watery. A taco place is as good as their salsa...if you like spicy their red salsa does the job although both are very delicious. Service was friendly and fast I got greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Definitely will be back!“

“La comida sabrosa!!!!!! Taco toro, barbacoa, alambres! Todo súper delicioso y el servicio es excelente!!!“

“I am an avid eater!!, yes and I have been comparing this place and it’s simply great. The place is clean, food is very good and authentic and most of the family works. Only concern is that the place is small and it gets crowded on weekends.“

“Place has real good tacos and tortas and kind staff. If your looking to eat tacos some place else this is the place. You get what you pay for, quality meat and food is cooked well. We enjoyed 3 steak tacos, 1 tongue, and 1 al pastor all flavors were on point tongue was very tender. I would ask for the al pastor cooked a little me well in my opinion. We also had 1 melanesa torta of beef steak 5/5 real good. The fresh water pinapple drink was made with all natual fruit . Overall spent 35 but well worth every dime. Tip your servers support small business!“

“Consistently excellent friendly service and fresh, delicious authentic food.“

“Nice little neighborhood place. The hours are odd so you have to check if they are open. I think they close mon-wed. I found this place looking for queso birria tacos. For $15 you get 4 decent sized tacos with the consommé. Great meaty tacos, I'm a big guy and I usually could knock out 8-10 tacos. I could only eat 6 here. The guacamole was big enough for me and my buddy. They have a juice bar inside and we ordered off of the server's recommendation. She recommended a pineapple drink and it was solid. We ended up getting a second order of drinks for the road. They don't have parking but you should be able to find something across the street. Place is clean and the cook wore gloves. I appreciate when a place is clean and people are wearing gloves. The waitress/server was very helpful and had great recommendations. She was easy to talk to since I don't speak Spanish. There was a bunch of online orders and takeout which in my opinion is good. That means there's no old food, they sell it all and buy fresh. Bathrooms were clean. I noticed the table next to me ordered a latte and seen they had an espresso machine. I haven't tried the coffee so I can't talk about the quality. Just that they have an espresso machine. I like this place a lot. Very friendly staff, great food and great amount of food for the price. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you.“

“The food was delicious! Nice portions. I had the Cajun Hash special. Wow! The service was excellent and everyone there was cheerful and attentive to you. Loved it!“

“My wife, daughter, and I stopped by early this morning and it was great to find this hidden gem. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious, and prices were more reasonable than several other Mexican restaurants in the area.I had the Chilaquiles (without meat or additional onion) and it had just the right amount of taste and spice. My wife had the Huevos Rancheros which she liked but were a bit too spicy for her. It was her first time trying them. I found them D-lish (I love me some spice!). My daughter had the breakfast burrito... it had chorizo, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo, and 1 or 2 other ingredients.There was plenty of parking and a small outdoor seating area as you walk in if that's your vibe. Definitely will be coming back to try out the rest of the menu. The hours are limited though so you'll have to plan accordingly.“

“Tried their food at a fest last summer and loved it, so I wanted to make a visit here. The food didn't disappoint. Loved the tacos and ramen con birria (Levanton). I appreciated that you can wait comfortably in your car and they call you when your order is ready.“

“Muy rico excelente servicio y rápido, les recomiendo las enchiladas verdes rikiximas“

“The food was amazing !! I wanted a quick bite after work and ran into this little spot. I got one of each empanada that they had. The chicken one was Devine!! For a small place the food is very tasty and worth the trip. They were also very friendly and patient with my indecisiveness which I greatly appreciated.“

“Really good, cheap. Burgers used to be really good. Last couple of times I ordered the double burger the meat was really dry. I’m not sure what’s going on with that but the Italian beef and the fries are really good for a great price. ?“

“muy ricas las quesabirrias y las salsas“

“Love this place! Incredible birria! Try the birria quesadilla and elote!“

“The food here at least for the carnitas, are hands down the best, i live near the ORD airport and used to drive down all the way down to the southside for some good carnitas. Thank goodness, I no longer have to since finding this gem of a restaurant. Another indication that this place is great is because it always has customers, never empty. Oh, and their champurado is da bomb! I haven't tried other stuff on their menu like tacos, flautas, etc. But I can vouch for the carnitas. staff is also friendly and very clean.“

“Regular price and size tacos al pastor are really good. On Monday and Tuesday tacos are supposed to be 1 dollar but if you don't ask they won't tell. Why would you advertise that in social media if you don't offer it to your customers and instead just give them regular tacos and when customer ask, you say that you need to ask for those ? ? If you opt for the special taco be aware that you would get 80% tortilla and 10% grease scraps.“

“Mr. Molcajetes is a late-night haven for taco enthusiasts. Their steak tacos are a delicious, packed with flavor and grilled to perfection. The vibrant patio sets the stage for an idyllic summer dining experience. Whether you're craving a midnight snack or a lively evening under the stars, Mr. Molcajetes is the go-to spot. I would highly recommend it. Service was fast and I always felt tended to.“

“I never write reviews but this one was warranted. The service here was excellent and the turnaround was fast but the Carnitas were outstanding!!! My husband had a gordita de asada and it was exceptional. We'll be coming back for the Pozole on Saturday!! Highly recommended this place.“

“Go for it!!I finally got a chance to eat at Big Rig Taco ?, I didn't get the Taco but I did try the steak burrito ? ?It's definitely worth a try if you're looking to try a great food truck while you're out and about.****It's cash only****But it's a food truck so...?“

“Tacos Al pastor were delicious!“

“Great place to eat, the food is very delicious and the prices are phenomenal.One plate was enough to fill me up for lunch and have dinner as well. They have very friendly staff and have good music.Only thing to be aware of is that they have no parking lot so be on the lookout not to park on the lot next to them as that belongs to just tires and you will be towed.Muy Buena comida con precios excellentes y las porsiones son muy generosas.Los trabajadores son muy amables y tienen muy bonita Musica.No tienen lote de estacionamiento asi que no se vallan a estacionar en el lote de just tires porque pueden pedir que la grua se lleve su carro.Parking: Parking must be on the street only“

“Loved the music, decoration, and food. Got the asada tacos with avocado and cheese and loved it. As well as the horchata was lovely. I would come back and recommend others to try!Parking: At least 20 spotsKid-friendliness: Has a kid menu and lots of kid options for drinksWheelchair accessibility: The entrance has no stairs and has wheelchair accessible parking“

“Best Carne Asada tacos around! Great food, and drinks; creative and very inexpensive for the quality. Those who complain it’s too expensive, need to get out of or go back to Taco Bell! Outstanding bang for your buck!“

“This is a Chicago style restaurant. You go in you order at the counter and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. They have a very large menu with a little something for everyone. The prices are fair and the food is tasty. They offer bottled beers as well as some Mexican drinks. There is usually some sort of sport game playing on the large TV. They also have a separate gambling room. I have been here numerous times and try something different to eat each time. Overall, it's a nice place to stop and grab a quick bite to eat. The atmosphere is just a place to eat with customers ranging from people of all backgrounds. If you are in the area and need a quick bite this is a good place to go eat.“

“This is a great little spot for tacos. Today was my first time to visit and I got the fajitas and they were great. Definitely recommend. They added cheese to them like I asked, but were missing flour tortillas. They still tasted great with the corn ones though. Very yummy. Great service as well.“

“These guys are the best, got me addicted. They're humble, and consistent. A great selection of fillings. Be sure to keep count of what you got, they're not trying to get one over you. An honest spot, with the best habanero salsa I've ever had. Tripa dorada, and their campechano de suadero y chorizo are my absolute faves. Eat at/in your car, not over the condiments.Parking: The lot they stay is where you eat and parkWheelchair accessibility: There's no restroom as this is a taco truck. They're friendly enough. Bear in mind, it's a taco truck.“

“muy rica comida y muy rápido el servicio“

“From the moment me and my spouse walked in we felt welcomed I tried the shrimp tortas with the rice and beans and when I tell you everything was perfectly seasoned the bean was amazing and the rice was flavorful. The beautiful young lady that helped me was Fatima and she was very nice and sweet. She also said she made the Horchata her self which is (rice water). She deserves a raise because everything from start to finish was perfect! N well seasoned we will b back again. Thanks Fatima“

“very amazing food and wonderful staff!!!“

“i have not yet made it into the city to try the restaurant but i am blessed to visit their food truck when it comes to the milk pail- el gran paseo on rt 25 in elgin on the weekends. the birria is amazingly flavorful and moist and the pulque is soooooo delicious too!!! could not recommend them more highly! so so so grateful they bring their delectable treats out to the suburbs!!!! thank you los mixiotes!“

“Good quiet Taco place. Tortillas are handmade and big. The carne asada and al pastor meat is cooked perfect with a lil char on the asada. A cash only place but also takes zelle/quickpay. Not too busy but good place if you want a quick but delicious bite.“

“Yum! I stopped for the first time yesterday and HAD to stop again later in the day to get lunch for my partner. It was so good! Convenient and delicious, no waiting. And the fact there is park picnic tables right by is awesome! Cash or Zelle only. Friendly and very nice folks. I'll be back soon! Thank you!!!“

“Came in for game day. Avenue Ale House had trivia going on a bustling Wednesday night. Missed happy hour specials but still saw some great menu items. Wanted to order a flatbread... but they ran out of dough! So tried the next best thing with the Maple-Chipotle wings and the Carne Asada Waffle fries. The appetizer portions were large enough to share and affordable to boot $$. Their tap list is on point with over two dozen beers on tap. Tried the Mango Cart and a really refreshing Bauweisse hefeweizen. Due to trivia packing the tables, sat at the bar to watch him ckey and baseball. tThe barstaff did not disappoint with quick and friendly service... tonight's atmosphere made this a 5 star. Will definitely visit Avenue Ale House again.“

“From discada platillos to quesacoa catering orders, I've never been disappointed! It's now a family holiday tradition & our last minute catering go to spot. Fast response time & when you ask for a certain time to pick up your food, it'll be ready! Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu soon.“

“Best tacos in the south ✅✅ keep up the good work“

“I ordered the j*** rice with salmon and j*** chicken tacos. My salmon had 2 bones in it. 1 of which I swallowed and had to gag myself to bring it back up. I haven’t eaten my j*** chicken tacos but my bf had regular chicken tacos and he enjoyed.“

“I celebrated my birthday yesterday and staff was very friendly to accommodate my party of 25 out in their patio which they had heaters and a fire pit..plus a TV outside it felt like I was in my back yard .

“The carne asada burrito satisfied that craving I had. I usually get the tacos but I might be sold on the burrito. I liked the filling and it had excellent flavor.Everyone was friendly and able to joke around while being professional and accommodating. The service was top notch during the busy dinner rush.This is probably my favorite place in the area to grab a quick taco or burrito.“

“Great food and suggestions. Finally a place with good Al pastor“
