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

“Yesterday was my first time visiting this location, and overall I had a really good experience 😊 The food was super delicious and full of flavor, and the portions were very generous - definitely more than enough to feel satisfied 🍽️👌 I’ll absolutely be coming back again!

One small thing that could be improved is clearer signage. There wasn’t anything indicating that you can seat yourself, so I assumed I needed to order at the counter and wait for a number 🤔 Turns out I was completely wrong, and for a moment I thought I was about to get scolded 😅 The lady at the counter helped fix my order and guided me, and then I was able to sit down.

Aside from that little confusion, everything else was great, and I still really enjoyed my visit 🙌✨“

“This place is truly one of the best spots for Mexican food 🌮😋! I tried a steak burrito and some steak tacos, and the flavor of the steak was amazing 🤤. Portions were generous, and even though I got my order to go 🥡, the restaurant itself is small, cozy, and super clean ✨. I loved the cute decorations and the overall vibe 🪴🎨. Definitely a must-visit if you’re on the Southside 👍. I’ll absolutely be coming back soon!“

“Friday's Dj Music, FOOD,“

“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“

“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 ❤“

“Good food and great customer service“

“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.“

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

“This place was so good! My boyfriend, baby, and I came here to dine in yesterday and the food was phenomenal. We were looking for queso barria tacos on google and they showed up. The server was awesome. They didn’t have a kids menu but I asked if they can do rice and eggs for the baby and they did just that he loved his meal as well! The cook even came to talk to us for a bit which I thought was pretty cool…very personalable! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for your service 😁“

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

“We hired them for a graduation party 🎓🎉, and they were absolutely amazing to work with! From the start, they were kind, helpful, and super easy to communicate with 🤝😊. During the event, their energy was great they were not only professional but also fun to be around, which really added to the overall atmosphere of the celebration 🎈✨.

Everything went smoothly thanks to their support, and they made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of the whole time 🙌. It’s not always easy to find people who are both organized and genuinely enjoyable to work with, but they definitely delivered on both.

I’m so happy with the experience that I’ll definitely be booking them again for any future events I plan 🥳💯!“

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

“Honestly, I’ve had this account for years and have never put in the time to actually review a place regardless how good/bad… Tacos El Diablo is the real deal most authentic Mexican food you can find anywhere around Chicago minus Little Village real talk. FIRE.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great tasting tacos and enchiladas 👍“

“Excelente comida con sabor auténtico mexicano y excelente servicio !“

“Ms. Payten the owner was sooooooo SWEET to my sister and I. It was a slow evening & the DJ was about to pack up, but bc we reserved a table (which she refunded as well with no problem bc we were about to leave) and came out to have a good time, she made the DJ stay for us , gave us free shots, & let the party continue just for us. She wanted to MAKE SURE we had a good time, & A TIME WAS HAD!!! I’ll definitely be back for the steppers set night on Thursdays! All of the staff was really nice and polite as well! This black own business is ran WITH INTEGRITY, PROFESSIONALISM, & MOST IMPORTANT LOVE!! THIS IS THE SPOT TO COME TO ALL SUMMER 2025!!! Check their Instagram to see what they have coming up on the schedule !!!! Can’t wait to try their food the next time I go!“

“Really good food I highly recommend it“

“Does anyone know if there still open im craving some seafood mariscos aguachiles ceviche etc 😫🤰🏻“

“I love supporting family owned businesses. Love that this is an option in the area late nights as there’s not many food options nearby. The chicken quesadilla is my favorite and I love how juicy it is!

Vegetarian options: You can ask them to modify your order to vegetarian-based.“

“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! 💚“

“Trust me and come here! This was our weekly go to spot back when we lived in Hyde Park. Great portion sizes and tasty meat. The burrito dinner is my favorite and comes with the best fries. Today, I tried the tacos and enjoyed them the lake. Great horchata too. It’s family owned and they deserve good business, so bring people and grab food from here before you head over to the lake this summer!“

“Bit of a wait which is ok since I am a patient person. Tried the steak tacos, actually very flavorful but fell apart when trying to eat it. Not the best value as I paid 12$ for 2 tacos. Portions are a bit small on the taco but less calories that way. I would give this place a 7/10 has lots of room to improve.“

“Delicious! The Harris tacos were on point.“

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.“

“Worst customer service ever. A language barrier made them get my phone order wrong and they refused to fix it. I have had more than one issue on there part wrong and they never correct it. Never going 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!“

“This place tacos are little but they are good. The wait time is disgustingly looooonnggg I went through the drive through and I was waiting 25 minutes just for two tacos. People started to pull off. The lady at the window was nasty. No customers service skills what so ever. She wants me to tap my card after waiting dang near 30 mins in the drive through line without confirming my order to me. These bite size tacos isn’t worth it.“

“I love everything about western tacos. seasoned very well and service is great!!!!!! definitely my go to spot and open 24 hours a day.“

“I had the gyro double cheeseburger. the flavor was great however, the burger itself was a tad bit overcooked. That made the burger a little dry but it was still a decent meal.“

“I just have to thank Luis for the wonderful suggestions and for his great smile and kindness. You don’t get that very often anywhere anymore! Made my day.. ?
I have specifically come back to this location 3 times and I just have to thank Emily as well for remembering my order. That made me smile! Thanks again for great service and great smiles“

“this place is awesome love the pizza!! 🍕 yumm!!😍“

“El Pastor doesn’t need to impress you. It just does.
The al pastor tacos are the reason you come. Perfectly marinated, good char, that little hit of pineapple that makes everything make sense. Two bites in and you already know you’re ordering more.
The steak torta is no afterthought either. The bread is right, the steak is seasoned well, and the whole thing holds together without falling apart on you. That sounds basic but it’s harder to execute than people think.

This is the kind of place where the food does the talking. No gimmicks. No over-the-top presentation. Just really solid Mexican food made the right way.
Pilsen has no shortage of good spots but El Pastor earns its place at the top of the list. If you haven’t been, fix that.“

“I love this place. They have multiple locations; I used to live just a couple miles from the Dyer spot, but since I've moved an hour away, I still come back a couple times a year for the food, and it's the same no matter which location you visit.
I highly recommend the chicken quesadillas with a side of rice (my favorite!) or the steak sopes. Truly exceptional Mexican fare for a very reasonable price!“

“CHICKEN BIRRIA TACOS they are so 😋“
