La Chaparrita Taqueria

Their tacos are smaller, street-style but packed with enough meat to more than make up for it. Simple, delicious, and hard to mess up. Both the asada and al pastor were juicy, flavorful, and cooked well. The salsas were excellent. Horchata was also great: milky and pleasantly cinnamon-forward. My only gripe is that the al pastor was more like minced pork than thin layers shaved off the spit.

Tiny but mighty tacos with so much flavor! The Al Pastor could very well be the best in the city. The Suadero is a must, as are the Cebollitas Asadas (essentially tiny onions cooked in amazing flavors that you pop in your mouth). Aguas Frescas is also such a good change of pace and balance from the spicy food and salsas

Will go back repeatedly with out of town guests!

Hands down my favorite tacos in Chicago! If you’re in Little Village, this spot is a must! It’s part grocery store, part taqueria, and honestly feels like you’re stepping straight into Mexico! The decor, the atmosphere, even the little details on the tables! 🥹

I’ve tried asada and al pastor tacos here. The asada was my personal favorite, but everything was packed with flavor! They serve radishes and limes at the table, plus cebollitas and chiles asados on the side. The tacos are smaller size, so if in doubt order more! 😋

Service is fast, friendly, and consistent! Even when there’s a wait, you can tell the food is super fresh and worth it. Drinks are great too! The horchata is my personal favorite but their liquados are also amazing!

Overall, this place is authentic, affordable, and absolutely delicious. This is my go-to every time I’m in the Chicago area, I can’t wait to be back!

Best Al pastor I’ve had so far in a small unassuming shop. The fermented pineapple juice is also fantastic

We LOVED this place! It is a grocery store and restaurant combined. The variety of tacos were like any restaurant we have been to in Mexico. Highly recommended

Some of the juiciest and perfectly seasoned meats and such flavorful tacos. Exactly what I’m looking for when I want good tacos and great salsas. The margarita is perfect and strong and the aqua Frescas are addicting. My fav taco spot in the city
