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!

Been coming here since 2016 and the food never disappoints. My favorite is the tinga chicken tacos and their flan! It is consistent and sooo sooo tasty. Can't find quality tacos with an authentic taste like these anywhere else. Kudos to the owner for always keeping the menu fresh.

I went in with my husband and youngest son and had a great experience. Fernanda was extremely welcoming and created a great atmosphere for our first visit. We ordered a steak burrito, al pastor/fish/ and shrimp tacos, horchata and Jamaica drinks. A little on the pricier end but the food quality lived up to the price. The tacos were small, but the burrito was huge! Both drinks were made in house, and the horchata was some of the best I’ve had in a while. Nice modern/hip decor.
The store looks super clean with friendly staffs and delicious foods. We got buffalo chickens and chicken tacos there. They are so delicious. Give them a try when you are around the area, will not regret!

Tacos? Perfect.Rice? Perfect.Beans? Perfect.The staff is so incredibly friendly, the environment is super cool and great photo spot, and there is amazing graffiti artwork on the side of the building that also makes a great picture opportunity. I highly recommend the Surf n’ Turf taco. I hope to be coming back again very soon. If you need somewhere that is quick and delicious do not hesitate to stop here.

Tried this place for the 1st time , and was truly disappointed ? got 1 fish , 1 shrimp. Portion of shrimp 3 medium to small , fish 1/3 of a fillet , the tortilla is flour, it has more cabbage than protein. Won't be coming back anytime soon.
Really good tacos and burritos, got a surprise bag from another site to try this place so I did, had the chicken tinga taco ? and it rocked also the wings were really flavorful, hope you give them a try.

I’ve been ordering from CTA for the past several years. They’ve been consistently delicious, even through the pandemic. They are efficient and know how to make their tacos taste amazing every time! Hoping that one day they’ll start selling nachos ?

This is one of the best taco spots I’ve been to in Chicago and I’ve been to a lot of them. The Al Pastor is seasoned to perfection and the chicken tacos are addicting! This is where you take people who are looking for good Mexican food.Parking: You may be crossing a street just to get some parking. But it’s not bad.

Have yet to have a single thing that wasn't delicious - now having tried most the menu.Marchelo is such a a gracious host and was so great during my only in person visit. The woman running the register (Friday the 15th) was also fantastic.I highly recommend any of the burrito options or the taco salad. One person joining lunch said 'this is amazing' no fewer than 4 times.A great local spot that serves fresh, delicious, and well made food! You won't regret it ?
