Good spot for a meal with kiddos, particularly around lunch. Hector up front is great and very helpful getting groups with little ones settled. Our current favorites on the menu are the birria tacos, taco salad, guac and quesadillas. Nice outdoor space too.

Great spot! I was with a group of nine and they were very accommodating. The food was spectacular. I had the birria tacos and will be returning just for those. The margaritas were flavorful. I really enjoyed my experience!

Food is really good. Fun atmosphere. Lovely staff. Food based on modernized versions of family recipes. Definitely add to your list of Mexican Food Restaurant Favorites.
Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and am very glad I did! The place was mostly empty since lunch was done but dinner hasn't started, and the hostess let me choose wherever I wanted to sit. I picked a booth space at the very back of the restaurant, and got a great pic of it (attached). The atmosphere and music were fun and I can imagine this becomes a fun place to hang out in the evenings. Big plus that they have a parking lot right next to the building, though I'm not positive if it's part of their establishment.I ordered a bowl of soup, a chorizo dish, and took a horchata to go. The food came quickly, the ingredients were fresh, and the portions left me stuffed. Their chorizo was PERFECTION - fried and crunchy, with excellent seasoning. For anyone who loves spice/heat, there's a challenge dish "La Llorona". I will definitely be coming in again!

Had the opportunity to pop in with some castmates in between shows for a quick dinner. Food was affordable and nice atmosphere. I tried 3 different tacos (one which was labeled La Llorna) and was incredibly satisfied.

Outstanding guacamole, tacos, margaritas! It was our first time in, but it won’t be our last. Delicious!
Our NFL Sunday meal is Tata's Tacos on Lincoln Ave. I wanted tacos, but my only options were places on the way to our destination bc we were already late to kickoff. So Tata's it was. We got 3 steak tacos and 1 shrimp taco and nachos but with everything taken off minus the steak, cheese and jalapeños.... Weird, but it wasn't me that ordered that. The shrimp taco was pretty good and shrimp can be easy to mess up. The shrimp wasn't chewy, the crema added to the flavor profile and I liked the melted cheese when I was a lil hesitant about it. Shrimp taco is a 8/10. The steak tacos were good too. There weren't fatty meat pieces which is good cuz those give me the ick. I did prefer the shrimp tacos though. Combined rating is 7.9/10.
Great tacos and awesome service! The waitress was very kind and funny. Would go back if I’m ever in the area!

Ordered 4 meals, waited for 55 minutes. Asked for time when our food will get to us the waitress said to not be rude and gave us the stupidest excuses that did not make any sense. Pay attention and fix it.

Came in here while waiting on brunch. Ordered just two tacos, they were shrimp taco with like garlic aioli or something? It was delicious. Everything was fresh & the service was speedy. It was nice to sit on the patio and people watch. The inside is cool. They were just opening when I wandered in. I would go back on my next visit to chicago and try a drink. It was the service and speediness for me

This is a top notch restaurant. It’s clean, and the service and food are outstanding. I don’t eat meat, and they had plenty of delicious veggie options for me. I highly recommend their tacos and nachos! We will absolutely be back soon.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options. Beans, rice, zucchini, jalapeño etc.

Here is another great place on Lincoln Avenue. It has lots of drinks and food with a better spin on Americanized Mexican stuff. Tatas Tacos is a great name for it: two of my favorite things! Find something for those who want something authentic, but not that authentic to be honest. You can get all kinds of margaritas and other cocktails, and besides tacos there's burritos, salads, and more. Came at lunch and we had a pretty good meal for not a lot as we thought it would be. It has pretty good prices. The drinks are the most expensive things. It's about $14 for a margarita. Pretty big though. I got the Cucumber Lime one. We also got the Vegetales Tacos. It's $5 each. These were filled with avocados, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini. Since they're not big you should get a few. There's also burritos if not wanting to get tacos. Great place for pretty amazing Americanized Mexican food. It seems like it's something that shouldn't be, but it is. The margaritas are pretty strong, and there's plenty to eat for meat eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians.
