Tacos are good but I got take out and they didn’t give me limes. Limes usually come with the meal. I lived in Mexico for two years. I’m not asking for much.

Flash Taco is pure perfection. This place isn’t just a taco spot. it’s a celebration of everything delicious. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the energy. The sleek, modern decor sets the tone, but the real magic happens when you take that first bite.

The steak tacos are a masterpiece juicy, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in fresh tortillas that melt in your mouth. And their burritos are Absolutely unbeatable. They’re massive, flavorful, and packed with the perfect balance of bold spices, tender meats, and fresh toppings. Every bite is an experience in itself.

If you’re looking for amazing food, incredible vibes, and a place that keeps you coming back for more, Flash Taco is it. Simply put it’s one of the best in the city.

Flash taco has been one of my go to for the last almost 30 years. I liked the old flash, but I absolutely love the new flash. Flash has upped its game not only with the hip decor, but the new menu rocks. Their El Pastore tacos have to be some of the best in the city. If you haven’t been here lately, you haven’t been here. I strongly recommend them!

WORTH EVERY CENT!

We stopped by to take advantage of their reopening BOGO deal, and it did not disappoint. The owner was incredibly friendly, letting us sample several protein options before we even ordered. You could feel the passion behind the food before taking a single bite.

And wow—this was hands down one of the best burritos I’ve had in a long time, and one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had since moving to Chicago. The meats were perfectly seasoned, and the portions were generous. We’re thoroughly impressed and can’t wait to come back!

Moved upstairs, looks nice. I feel over the years maybe new cooks or recipes strictly the tamale have changed.

Very disappointing, quality has gone down tremendously over the past years. Ordered my favorite chicken tinga tacos and there was no cheese, it was super salty and they were tiny. I remember loving these tacos especially when they had the taco truck but now they’re horrible. Don’t recommend at all.

This has happened twice. I excused the first time as a mistake. The second time the woman at the counter smirked at me - it was only when I got home that I learned my "veggie" tamales obviously contained chicken. To gleefully lie about this is deeply unethical
