Taco Restaurants near Blue Island

“Just had their steak (carne asada) tacos! Absolutely fantastic! The green salsa is on point! Very generous on the size of their tacos. I'm extremely picky when it comes to getting tacos in fact I only like my tacos from one or two taco places in all of Chicago. This is my first time coming here and this spot just got added to my small list. I will most definitely stop by this place whenever I'm around this area. Thank you for the great food! May God bless you with more business.“

“Dam good food and service the cook is awesome the cashier is wonderful If you want some good chicken wings go here“

“I really enjoyed the torta de asada and the tacos de tripita. What I liked most was that they weren't greasy at all. The o my reason I didn't give 5 starts was because I didnt like the salsa and the horchata and Jamaica. The agua fresca was actually coolaid.“

“Surprisingly for a hidden taco joint in a gas station, it’s great. I’ve had the tacos, burritos, and torta. The el pastor burrito is delicious! Their burrito tortilla is not like those thin stretchy flour tortillas, it’s great for burritos. The steak, lengua, and el pastor tacos are good too! The carnita taco is okay, not the best but it’s good. The torta is one of my go to’s. It can be a bit pricy but I think it’s worth it if you have the money to spend lol.“

“Wonderful mexican food. Been a tinley park / oak forest resident my whole life, and I have not stopped coming back to tacos diaz for when I want mexican food. Al pastor (pork) tacos are fresh and made excellent. Thank you for wonderful food & wonderful service“

“Good food and great customer service“

“Friday's Dj Music, FOOD,“

“buenísimo servicio y la comida un zason pura sabrosura delicioso.“

“Pacheco's food is delicious and generous and they are always so friendly!! For my money, it is the best taco salad in the city. They have brightened up that little spot and we are so grateful to have them as neighbors ❤“

“Tried these tacos today and I must say.; It’s like having a little taste of Mexico in every bite. From the variety of tacos all the way to the salsas and fresh beverages. Located on Chicago’s South side on 63rd and Talman. Family owned business. 🇲🇽 🌮 🥤😋“

“Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the carnitas were absolutely delicious. I also had the frijoles fritos, agua de horchata, and their salsas and they were all absolutely delightful. I'm originally from Michoacán and these carnitas remind me of the taste from back home. I've had a couple different locations from Carnitas Uruapan and they've both been great.“

“My cousin and I decided to check this place out. She had the tacos and I had a Gogi Bowl with spicy pork. Delicious. Atmosphere is very chill. And it’s in a great location near the University of Chicago. The service is fast. I would go again once I return to Chicago. Perfect balance of food.“

“Great food and drinks! Love having a place this good so close to home!“

“Great Food! Also, a very friendly staff.“

“In my experience, it can be *incredibly* difficult to secure a reliable, professional, and high-quality food truck vendor to service private events that are also open to neighborhood patrons; therefore, when I reached out to Tacos Truck El Tío Rafa, my experience working with them was very refreshing and affirming! They were immediately accommodating and responsive, even when all they had was my word that my event would generate enough profit to make it worth their time and investment. The El Tío Rafa team ended up servicing almost 250 guests at my party for approx. five hours, and they were prepared with more than enough food to do so! On top of it all, the food was DELICIOUS! So much so that my uncle broke his no meat diet to try the steak tacos because of how good they are! Other guests have been calling me to remark on how much they enjoyed all of the food offerings from the truck as well. And the prices of each item are incredibly reasonable, especially for working/middle class patrons.

I’m so honored and grateful that Rafael, Joanna, and their team took us on as clients, and I can’t wait to work with them again and again!“

“A treasure to try! Never heard of this place and unfortunately missed it all these years. This restaurant has been around for over 70 years on Chicago and 2 years in this location.
Great tacos! The shells were nice with a buttery taste to them. The mear was tender and plenty ingredients in the tacos. The wait wasn't long for the food.

The owner was helpful with our order and telling us about the family business as well as what tacos might suit us. He has a jerk chicken taco but it's not foe the weak taste buds person. You're not going to run down the street like Richard Pryor on fire but you probably will run for a drink to cool your mouth down.

The fries were tasty. They put slices of cheese and melt it on the grill on top. I haven't had them that way since childhood.

The lemonades and teas are a must. A Variety of flavors for everyone.

A must try and keep coming back place. Y? Why Not!“

“With every bite you take, you get a punch of something new, something different, something... amazing! What a unique taste. Here's a simple question for you. If you want to try the best Cabeza tacos of your life, you have to come to Tacos el Diablo. Located inside the Village of Robbins - open air market, a little of everything in one place. One of my co-workers recommended me to come here for tacos, but little did i know i'll be coming here often. For the last couple of months I've tried all different kinds of tacos on the menu. but the one thing i just cant get enough are the Tacos de Cabeza. I just cant wrap my head around how the meat is so delicious, tasty, and tender and packed with so much flavor. Every-time I come here, I come for one simple reason... to give my taste buds the bet experience in the world and to have the most mouthwatering tacos of my life. I would recommend Tacos el Diablo to everyone, if you are around the area of Blue Island the p is not too far for the best experience of your life. I would definitely will be coming here more times to come. oh, I almost forgot, they will come to your house if you hired them for a party or any kind of events.“

“I don't know if it's the lack of good Mexican food in Hawaii, but this place was fantastic! It definitely hit the spot. I wouldn't think that Chicago has good Mexican food, being pretty far from Mexico, but it really does. Shows what I know. We got a total of four burritos, three tacos, two chips and salsa, and pico de gallo, and four large horchata. I'm pretty sure there is something that I left out but all of that only cost me $70. That was a fantastic deal. We called the head to order most of these items and when I got there I couldn't help but ordered a few more things. There were also specials of the day. I wish I'd seen that before ordering more stuff but either way it was worth it. Hopefully I get a chance to come back before I have to go back to Hawaii.

There are no pictures for me to show because the food was so good. It was wiped out by my family before I could remember to take pictures.“

“We ended up at this place by chance with 6 of us, ranging from teens to a grandma. All of us loved it. The tacos were really delicious. Grandma felt that the guacamole was too salty so the owner came out and apologized, made her a fresh batch to her liking AND removed it from the bill. Both food and service were top notch. The atmosphere was super fun and lively too.“

“Those stake 🍟 are a hit 🤤“

“The food here is always delicious and very filling. I ?% highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to eat authentic Mexican food.

Parking: Plenty of parking space.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, a wheelchair can smoothly enter.“

“We pass this place plenty of times, when we went for tacos around the corner of it. Decided to stop in to give it a try. This is our new taco place! Steak, Pastor, Cecina and chorizo tacos are delicious! Carnitas they sometimes have on Sunday are the bomb. Pozole is delicious. Can't forget the nachos w/steak louded, couldn't wait until I got home, munched on them the whole way home.“

“Had the chicken torta, steak tacos, rice, nachos portions were huge and fresh and so tasty. The best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. I’ll be back ! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best Jerk Chicken I've had, the food is beyond amazing and delicious and their customer service is excellent. Someone greets you when you come in to order or pick up your food. Everything from the Jerk chicken , Jerk chicken Alfredo and all the side dishes are delicious. I've been eating here since they opened and will continue to as their food is so yummy !! 🙂 Happy 1 year anniversary Jam-Rock Express ! I wish you great success!“

“I was at SSC for my son's graduation ceremony and was hungry, I tried to go to a birriera place down the block but they were closed. So I found this place and it exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for just some decent tacos but they were better than decent. Only problem now is, I live in Indiana, 30 minutes from here...so I'm gonna have to take a lil drive for these tacos again 😆! Carne asada, pastor and lengua tacos on homemade and regular corn tortillas were all delicious. The asada had a bit of a sweet flavor to it, I assume they might use oranges as a marinade idk, they were good either way.“

“all i can say is that the tacos are absolutely delicious.“

“So grateful I had the opportunity to try this amazing and blessed business! Service and food was OUTSTANDING! I’ll be back and bringing others! 💚“

“🔥🔥🔥 Tacos pura lumbre! 💯% recomendados. Los de al pastor una chulada!“
