“Woooow woooow y wooow! Súper recomendado! Los dueños y sus hijos etc super atentos! Todo es fresco, el agua de horchata de chocolate me encanto! Las tortillas hechas a mano en el momento, lo mejor de todo poder platicar con el dueño y su esposa y que nos compartieran su historia de como comenzaron, anécdotas y mucho más! Felicidades! Y que sigan creciendo!“
“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.“
“Quesabirria is such an amazing gem in Chicago and the Pilsen neighborhood. Don't let Taco Bell fool you, this is the OG here. The owner is always here to take orders. Menu is very straightforward and delicious. There is indoor seating is minimal and when they sell out for the day, that's it so go early and get it when you can. The restroom is clean and they play some funky jams. We really love this place and hope they stay forever. Sitting here on a Sunday when they open at noon writing this makes it that much better!“
“Tepalcates is incredible! Everything we ordered was so delicious. The owner is so helpful, explaining the menu and helping us select the perfect dinner. It's our new favorite Mexican place! (Sorry no photos... we couldn't wait to dig in !)“
“We had drinks in The Aldermen portion. The drinks were incredible. Best gin and tonic I’ve ever had. Lance was running the show that night. We told him what we liked, and he nailed it. I would seriously put Lance as one of the best bartenders in the world. Yes, we will be back. Sad thing is, when I go other places, they won’t compare. The Pilsen Yards space looked fun, and did have great outdoor space. Another one of Chicago’s great neighborhoods to explore.“
“I was hesitant to try El Tragón, I've passed by many times and just didn't get the feel for it. Big forking mistake! The place is absolutely fantastic, the exterior does this place no justice. The birria was amazing! Tasty, not overly spiced or greasy; the tortillas hot and salsa spicy! Con una coka bien fría, que más !“

“I’m always looking to try new places and if you’re a looker too look no further!!! I tried three different tacos- short rib, bulgogi, and shrimp- all delish. The star here was the Korean street bbq wings! The wings were absolutely to die for, they were so good that I immediately checked to see if this place was on Uber eats or DoorDash. Sadly they aren’t but I hope hope hope they will be in the future! Amazing food, def check them out“
“Penelope's Vegan Taqueria Andersonville hits the spot! Honestly, this is probably the best vegan Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. The portions are a nice size with many great menu options. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food and ambiance are great. The Chunky Quesa Taco (cheddar cheese quesadillas taco topped with asada, onion, cilantro, lettuce, tomato and green salsa) is a must try! Overall, if you visit, you will not regret it!“
“Really good and flavorful food. Empanadas were smaller than I expected but the sauce for it was fire. Arepas were stuffed with meat. The hot sauce was definitely a winner tho with just the right amount of spice (bit on the hot side just how i like it) and super “
“Incredible, well priced taco truck. Pure classic, wonderful tortillas, meat, onion, cilantro, and that’s it! Highly recommend getting chicken because the way they grill it is mwah, so good. Bomb burritos as well, all at significantly cheaper prices than surrounding places.“
“The Quesobirria was super delicious. The tortillas are literally handmade and fresh to order. I was impressed how attentive the staff was. Came with a couple of friends from out of town and I definitely think this place nailed a super delicious quesobirria. I will definitely come back. Found my new spot for birria!“
“Went to experience Mimi's as fries are my favorite and who doesn't enjoy good tacos. My family and I ordered Birria tacos, loaded Jerk fries, sautéed broccoli and the house made Italian ice. The food was 8/10, I have had the pleasure of tasting other fusion Jerk type tacos in past this was sweet with slight heat and super enjoyable. My only complaint is if I'm going to a place that has Fries in name, I'd like to think fries should be handmade and a star standing alone I don't think that is the case here. The broccoli though was insane with garlic butter, I'd go back just for them tbh.“
“Best tacos in Logan square sorry not sorry this is my go to taco spot always I love the service the workers are very attentive team spicy tacoooossss ????Vegetarian options: Never had a veggie taco till I tried one here and it is officially my favorite Taco on the list “
“Located in Chicago's lively Lincoln Park, this spot is a top-tier destination for shrimp tacos – and it absolutely lives up to the hype! Hands down, the best I've ever had. The shrimp and breading reach perfection, making every bite a joy. Their $4 happy hour is a game-changer, featuring signature Baja fish and veggie tacos, along with $8 margaritas. Don't miss their quesabirria tacos – three short rib and cheese crispy tacos with a side of consommé beef broth for dipping. It's a flavor explosion that's hard to beat. Taco enthusiasts, this gem is a must-try!“
“Came here for lunch. Not crowded at all, we were practically the only ones there. Had the Zombie Burrito, which was outstanding although pricey. Otoh, it was very filling. I should have saved half for later but it was so good I couldn't stop eating. Bar looks fun, too, so I'm planning on returning one evening to check out the After Five vibe.“
“Not a place for cheap tacos but very tasty and high quality!Recommend the duck taco!We came early so no issue with getting served right away but it is a small space that looks like it could be packed.Definitely would give this place a try, but expect to pay for the quality!“
“You want the best tacos you’ve ever had…in life. Go here. They are consistently good and I love how the food is always packaged well. The chicken baby is THEE best chicken taco I have ever had. I usually order steak tacos but the chicken baby converted me to a chicken taco lover! It is so well seasoned & tender. It’s just *chef’s kiss*“
“Excellent, literally perfect shrimp tacos like Cali style. Chicken burritos are always great but they’re made differently every time which is a little annoying, I wish they could be more consistent with the ratios. The wait times can be frustrating as well as it can take over 20min to get your order unless you order for takeout. The lines get really packed at peak hours. I’ve seen plenty of people leave bc the line was just unruly. They could make some improvements with efficiency.“
“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.“
“I was looking for a place in Chicago to watch my Cincinnati Reds Opening Day. This place was a home run! The Manager was so welcoming. She had my game on two big screens when I arrived. I met the owner who thanked me for coming and chatted me up about the Reds. Tiara and Anita, were both super attentive and so welcoming. Great place and staff! I'll be back! Thanks guys! - Bill Carigan“
“Lucidos has THE BEST Al pastor in the entire city of Chicago . I've been to a few dozen taco places in Chicago and this is the best of the best Al pastor. On el trompo is a good sign that they'll be delicious. On top of the spit it a whole pineapple which tastes so much better a little bit charred and not too sweet - unlike using canned pineapples as some restaurants do. The service is very friendly and it's a casual ambiance. I will absolutely be back. Love this place.“
“Creative, high quality dishes. A bit pricey, though it lives up to the cost.The steak tartare was very flavorful. Its was quite dressed for a tartare, i.e. not meat-forward. The duck was fantastic, as was the saffron prawn gnocchi. Like the flavors or not, none of the dishes were boring, ingredients were great, and the execution was beyond question.The blood and sand was perhaps the best balanced smoky scotch cocktail I’ve had. Partner’s bohemian was also very good.“
“Such a great experience at Broken English Old Town! The taco Thursday deals are the best. $3 per taco, and they’re so delicious. I tried the Ay Papisito and the Al Pastor. I had a couple of rounds of those? Our server Britt B. was so great. I was uncertain of what drink to get and she suggested the frozen horchata and it did not disappoint! i may become a thursday regular!“
“I went here a few weeks ago. The tacos were so amazing. My friends and I rave about them since going. They also have really delicious margaritas (strong, but you cannot tell from the taste!).Quick and friendly service! Highly recommend, I will be returning.“
“The loveliest hospitality. Our server Jonathan and his manager went above and beyond to help us celebrate a 13 year olds birthday, playing Olivia Rodrigo for her and getting her a box of donuts to enjoy from a neighboring shop. They truly made the evening special for everyone.And Jonathan was amazing, seamless service, thoughtful recommendations, what a gem!“
“CHILE this food was so friggin good! And 95% of the menu is gluten free! Gluten-free fried fish tacos!? Gluten-free fried chicken!? Homemade gluten-free corn tortillas!? I don't even eat ground beef but baby that ground beef taco with that homemade hard shell was heaven! And don't let me just start on the crema! It was so good I almost cried. It's not your regular grandma. They literally put love in it, it had some kind of citrus twist on it! I can drink it it was so good. And then their beverages! Lord help me! That limeade will give me diabetes if I dont exercise self control because I'm hooked!Omg I forgot about the elotes! It was sooooo delicious and full of texture and flavor. Whewww.. 10/10!“
“Omg this was so so good. We got the Al pastor, carne asada and bistec for a total of $10. The carne asada was so so so good!! The bistec was also delicious and the portion was huge. My friend got the Al pastor and was really satisfied.Sergio was so nice. Would happily come back next time I’m in the area.“
“Truly authentic, and really incredible food. I don’t know how they get their Carne Asada so tender, but it’s really fantastic! Their Al Pastor is to die for as well! Also recently tried there Carne Asada enchiladas with Mole sauce. Homemade Mole was blissful! My wife had their chicken enchiladas. Really incredible. They have this wonderful tangy cheesy chicken filling and she got the green sauce on top. Sumptuous! I’ve eaten good Mexican food all over the US, and in Mexico, and this place is a real gem. Throw in very reasonable prices, a great owner chef who’s passionate about what he does, and you’ve got a trifecta!“
“Super fun vibe - order at the counter. Eclectic taco options - chicken and waffles? Yes please. With rotating special tacos. Red velvet cake on deck for dessert. The tacos are on the larger side and have plenary of “stuff” on the inside. Chips and queso are not essential but a tasty add on - as are the nachos (I ordered with no meat and they were still fabulous). We love coming back to VT when we’re in the area!Vegetarian options: Plenty of delicious veggie friendly options available! The menu is separated by meat/veg so they’re easy to siphon through.“
“Been grocery shopping here for so many years till I moved to the south side. Today I visited while I was up north. Service hasn’t changed and the meat prices are still pretty good even though COVID threatened many small businesses. I was happy to see many familiar faces.“
“Tried their food at a fest last summer and loved it, so I wanted to make a visit here. The food didn't disappoint. Loved the tacos and ramen con birria (Levanton). I appreciated that you can wait comfortably in your car and they call you when your order is ready.“
“Yummy for my tummy! Asparagus tacos for breakfast this morning! Picked up at the Hyde Park Farmers' Market. That was a year ago. Recently I celebrated my birthday with friends at an outdoor movie night. I ordered Taylor’s tacos for the group and when I tell you they were a hit? Believe me. Steak, asparagus, shrimp and the salad were so delicious. The toppings were on point. A real gourmet experience. Taylor and Maya are professionals who give exceptional customer service. And guess what 4 days later my office staff ordered from Taylor’s Tacos for my retirement. I was in heaven. For a delicious meal you can’t beat this company.“
“Real Mexican tacos! Tacos and tortas are very well served, the people is very friendly and the food was out at a super speed. Restroom was very clean too. The tables and the whole place look a bit old but clean, clean, clean!Kid-friendliness: Our kids love plain tacos but even for the picky eaters they have chicken nuggets, fries, burgers and quesadillas, so I would say it is a very good place to eat with kids. Plus the beverages are delicious.“
“New location and best tacos.. service is great, the waitress comes often to check on you. The carne asada has great flavor. Try the place you will not be disappointed. Every chance I am in the south side I will be going to this place.. My sister also orders the Alpastor and loves them.“
“The food here was amazing! We came to try the queso birria tacos and they did not disappoint! We had a steak burrito and the chicken al pastor tacos as well. The service was friendly and the place was very clean. The food came quickly and was so good! The salsa’s were delicious and complimented our meal.Dietary restrictions: All the food was halal!“
“Rossy and her team are absolutely amazing! My husband and I knew we wanted to do great and delicious mexican food for our wedding and we were struggling to find someone who could do that in a large venue setting, and was willing to travel to Janesville, Wisconsin. I found Rossy through tons of research online and so happy I did! She is so incredibly kind and we enjoyed taking the drive to Chicago where she cooked right in front of us a variety of options to try for our wedding.I know that my husband and I probably over communicated often in the 9 months leading up to the wedding with tons of questions and making sure all would go right. She was so patient and kind, communicated with us as we needed, and made sure we were confident with the day of.The day of was amazing! The set up of the food was great for a buffet for 220 people! It was delicious and was a HUGE talk even after the wedding from family and friends. She had plenty of food that people were able to go up for seconds if they wanted to! :)Her team was so friendly and fast. We are so thankful for her and her team to make the trip out to Janesville and for all her support. We recommend her 10 out of 10! Thank you!“
“This place is legit! I’ve been meaning to try this little taco shop since I can walk to it - yesterday I finally did and wow! Surprised me at how great the food was and will definitely be back again.The inside is small but can seat a few folks but it’s the tables outside that make for a great spot to enjoy some tasty food with friends. Make sure to grab a horchata too! So yummy!“
“We were there yesterday for an event, and the service was first class, and the food out of this world. The music selections on vinyl were fantastic. Our son said he likes to go there often because of the amazing food and the great music. Can’t wait to go back.“
“These tacos are ON POINT! I can’t believe he doesn’t have a whole building dedicated to this (although the stand does feel a bit more homemade/genuine). The sauce selections slap, the tacos come out flavorful and the price is just Love!“
“On November 17, 2023 I stopped at this Mexican restaurant and gave them a try with little to know chance right before my hair appointment and when I tell you one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to in a very long time the food was freshly prepared the restaurant was clean and the customer service was A1 any time I’m in Chicago on the southwest side this would be a restaurant I would have to go to so for anyone reading this go here“
“Cozy little outside patio place to sit and eat with small walk up hut to order from the window. Friendly owner and his parents run the place. Tacos were made to order and delicious. Great flavor and good salsas. Right next to tennis courts and short walk to the water. Looking forward to returning next time we're in the area.“
“Whats up fellow taqueros, this is your faithful TacoLoco her to review TTS. This hidden gem is legit. Nice, clean, bright and with great service.But who cares about that! Let's get down to why we came here.I ordered the taco dinner and a Diet Coke. If I'd know it was BYOB, I would have picked up 2 taco degenerates and a 12 Pk of Modelos and had a run at it.The meal was $19, but we'll worth it.The rice was fresh and well balanced. The flavor was authentic and the grains were perfectly cooked.The beans were AMAZING!I had them mix my dinner with one steak, pastor and carnitas. The steak was thin sliced and tasty but would have been better if it was flame grilled, but not bad! The Pastor was great! Light but tally and with real chunks of pineapple. Yes, pineapple.If you know, you know. The carnitas stole the show. They were fresh, lean and moist. Yeah, I said it - Moist! The salsa'a were full of flavor but medium hot. I like scorching lava hot, but these 2 were good.All in all, great place to eat. If you ever need a TD (Taco Degenerate) for company when coming here, 'put me in Coach!'“
“I have hosted two events at Barcocina West Town and they have both been outstanding. The team was very easy to work with pre-event to coordinate. Day of, they had everything ready and were very attentive to our needs. The servers and bartenders were exceptional and provided incredible service. The food and drinks were delicious, and everyone had a great time. The space was super cute and inviting. If you need to host an event - bridal or baby shower, birthday party, anniversary, graduation, or a business mixer- look no further!“
“if you visiting chicago this is a must carnitas. are amazing. nopales salad super good beans perfect coffee de la hoya wow super good las carnitas. buenísimas un savor perfecto la ensalada de nopales wow. están de lo más ricoooo el café de la hoya delo más rico. y el precio. wow. super bien. un 10 estrellas para este lugar super recomendado“
“Went there on a Wednesday, the waitress was super friendly the place looks really nice and clean.Got a torta and burrito de asada as well as a guacamole. The torta was really good except that I would like a little bit more of meat on it, the burrito on the other hand was so delicious. The guacamole was super salty and I feel like is fake guac. Over all is a really nice place to get some good food and stay for the drinksParking: Parking is on the street and is usually all full“
“Terrific service and great taste. No complaints!The folks behind the counter were extremely nice. I ordered 3 tacos, and in addition to those and a salsa, the gentleman brought out a little soup for me too (that I did not order). I have never in my life had food come out this quickly. The tacos were ready for me as soon as I sat down, pretty much. They were warm and delicious. I got carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor. The chorizo taco was my favorite. Be aware: it's CASH ONLY but there is an ATM inside. The area is small but there are two bars on the side to sit and eat at. No water cups, and no bathrooms. That being said, they were kind enough to fill up my water bottle from the sink. From the outside this place is very unassuming, so I am really glad I came in. The menu is huge - I wouldn't mind coming back to try more.“
“Tonight was my second time eating here, and it was ever better than the first time. The food is delicious! I had the al pastor, mushroom al pastor and chile relleno tacos and each one was better than the last. I like that there is a lot of variety in the menu with some off the beaten path choices. I have not been in the restaurant yet, but my Husband reported that it was adorable inside with fun cocktails and nice ambience. This will definitely be added to our rotation!“
“We always do take out or delivery. They've consistently! been the most delicious tacos I've had. The guacamole is phenomenal. All we talk about throughout dinner is how much we are enjoying our dinner. It's really nice to have food that both meets my dietary restrictions AND tastes incredible.“
“Amazing food - while we are sad they closed the restaurant operations, at least they are still open for take out. Show them some love if you can, the vegan/vegetarian community needs to rally for thesefolks.Vegetarian options: These folks are frankly putting out Frontera quality vegan food - and we love Frontera.“
