Delicious, clean, large portion, and reasonably priced
I was around the area for a work visit and had seen so many good reviews so I went and tried their Vegan Carne Asada and Vegan al Pastor tacos. I had some pretty high expectations, with many people saying these were the best tacos they had tried. I was let down, unfortunately. I will not say that they were not good, they were definitely filling and had flavor. However, they were bland and I have definitely made and had better tacos. I can see how these tacos may be very good for someone that likes blander food or hasn't tried any other options, but they were not the best in my opinion. The staff was extremely friendly, however, so I would love to support them again if they have other options available! I also had an Agua de Jamaica, which I did really enjoy because it was not too sweet!
This place is a favorite of our family for excellent tlacoyos and friendly service. I particularly like their carne asada.

T'lacoyo has OUTSTANDING food, with a new lousy attitude to go with it. Lately, our takeout orders have been wrong, missing chicken from one order, the wrong order entirely in another case. Recently, half an hour wait times have been the case for pick-ups. In this case, my wife, in line, ordered beans and rice on quesadillas. I suppose that's not common, but it's precisely what we had a taste for. When ordering IN the store, a manager or perhaps the owner was waiting on her when she placed the order. The grill person said, 'You can have vegetables or protein, but we don't put beans and rice on a quesadilla.' My wife pointed out she was standing right there, and would he be so kind as to make that up this one time? Is it exactly what we have a taste for? The grill person said, 'No, we don't do that. You can go somewhere else and get that.' She did walk out. That's the first time anyone at Tlcoyo has been rude on the phone or in person. We did get precisely what we wanted at La Taquiza in Highland Park, where we live. Great food is what it's all about, but that has to be accompanied by good service and a good attitude. Tlcoyo seems to be losing the latter.

I'm a blue collar worker amongst all of the fine wealthier people who reside in Deerfield and the greater North Shore area, so lunch costs matter a lot to me. I grew up in Chicago which allowed me the privilege of knowing what good Mexican food tastes like and I'll tell you what.. this spot is IT. I got 1 delicious al pastor taco that was packed to the brim with meat and toppings, as well as 1 amazingly thick burrito for $14. Paired with a nice cold Crispy Boy Pilsner from whole foods across the parking lot, this has been one of the most satisfying lunches I have had in a long, long time. I walked in after ordering online and was greeted with an actual smile by the kind lady up front. Its rare you get a smile nowadays and for just that reason alone this restaurant gets a juicy 5 star review. As long as they keep the quality up and the prices down, this is definitely going to be one of my permanent go-to places from now on. Cheers yall!

The food here is fresh and the customer service is excellent. There are plenty of vegan options. We love that the rice and beans are also vegan. (So many restaurants use chicken broth in the rice, but this restaurant does not.)
The vegan tacos are probably the best I've had! I order the simple version with just onion, cilantro and lime. Their vegan meats are excellent in flavor. I hope they expand and create a spot in Schaumburg😄
The food is delicious and the customer service is always great! Pricing is very fair too. This is our go to place! I love the tlacoyos and my husband loves the burrito bowl!
