“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

“Best Al pastor and quesadilla in recent memory. Burrito had generous quantity of meat. I had ordered the Quesadilla with steak added. It was served open-faced, with a layer of cheese that was delightfully crispy on the outside and gooey underneath (like you normally only get on the edges) and the steak was on top of the cheese with cilantro, onion, and avo. Friendly staff shared meat treats with our pup. Two tables, shade, and front row seats to the meat roasting on a spit over hot coals. Will crave this until we visit again!!“

“Love this place! Incredible birria! Try the birria quesadilla and elote!“

“Great food thanks for the house phone“

“Recomendadicimo !! Es mi primera ves aki y los tacos estuvieron bien perrones y buenos y aparte me pusieron mis mejores canciones I loved it 😍“

“Let me start whit the taco truck 🚚......amazing asada tacos the steak is just what steak need to be,soft juicy and grilled flavor one of the best steak tacos all over little village this is not steak ala plancha the flavor test grill steak definitely I recommend 100%“

“Birria muy buena y Ahora tienen TACOS de Machitos y es de lo mejor que eh probado 💯% , Te mantienen bien atendido todo el tiempo“

“Great Customer Service & Delicious Authentic Mexican food“

“best elote soup ever. needs more vegetarian options tho it’s what’s been having us come less lately and we miss the old layout :( and vegan meat options are needed . tacombi has some good options also if you’re lookin .“

“They have a great combination deal with two or three tacos. I love that you get a little bit of everything and the price is unbeatable. The shrimp taco is one of the best I’ve had. Will be back for this deal. I picked up, but it was super cute inside. Will be back.“

“Digos tacos is a neighborhood gem. This place has changed owners several times while living here and I recently went a few times and was not disappointed. Their meat is flavorful, their micheladas are bomb, and the quesabirria tacos are delicious. The food is well priced & the owners/chefs even made my golden retriever a plain carne asada taco and gave her a water bowl. 10/10“

“I’ve been driving past Taco Boom Truck for what feels like forever, always catching a whiff of grilled meat or seeing a small line of people and thinking, “One day I’ll stop.” Well, I finally did, and man, I should’ve done it way sooner.

It’s a simple setup, parked off the road, colorful, and always smelling amazing. People were hanging out, eating, and the service was quick and friendly. The guy at the window even gave me some salsa tips when I told him it was my first time.

I went with two carne asada tacos. No exaggeration, the meat was so tender and juicy, with this really nice char on the edges. You could taste the seasoning in every bite, nothing overpowering, just that good mix of garlic, citrus, and smoky flavor. The tortillas were warm, soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together (no taco explosions, which is always a win).

The green salsa? Wild. It started off kind of mild, then hit with this spicy, peppery kick that crept up in the best way. It had some creamy avocado vibes too, which made it super addictive. Honestly, I kept dipping even after I ran out of taco.

If you’re in the mood for solid tacos that hit all the right notes, Taco Boom is 100% worth the stop. I already know I’ll be back.“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“best fish tacos in town.. great service“

“Yesterday was my first time visiting this location, and overall I had a really good experience 😊 The food was super delicious and full of flavor, and the portions were very generous - definitely more than enough to feel satisfied 🍽️👌 I’ll absolutely be coming back again!

One small thing that could be improved is clearer signage. There wasn’t anything indicating that you can seat yourself, so I assumed I needed to order at the counter and wait for a number 🤔 Turns out I was completely wrong, and for a moment I thought I was about to get scolded 😅 The lady at the counter helped fix my order and guided me, and then I was able to sit down.

Aside from that little confusion, everything else was great, and I still really enjoyed my visit 🙌✨“

“Authentic Mexican food, very friendly, reasonable prices, and clean“

“Could be a little cleaner on the counter and table tops but it was lunch time busy. Had the Specials of the Day: Lomo Burrito ($9.99) and Carnitas Tacos ($2.99) and reg price Al Pastor Taco ($3.99). The chucks of carnitas need to be smaller, they were way too big for tacos. The quality of food though was consistently just as good as their other locations. The Al Pastor was especially tasty carved off the gyros like spit.“

“the best Taco of Al Pastor I've ever tried and phenomenal service . I'll be back !“

“I finally got a chance to check out and it did NOT disappoint. The burrito is SO good; tasty, filling, a little spicy, and truly the perfect size. The green salsa it comes with was also a really good spice level for me. I can’t wait to try more on the menu!“

“Aqui esta todo delicioso para chuparse Los dedos. Vengan con su familia a probar las quesabirrias!! 😋“

“love the burritos with pineapple and always the staff is super awsome.“

“Amazing food !!!!! Phenomenal service!!!! We definitely enjoyed everything on the menu. Will for-sure be returning!!!“

“The food at Fuego is absolutely amazing. I love their Tortilla soup. The homemade guacamole is good enough to be its own food group! Their staff are some of the friendliest I've ever encountered.

We were fortunate enough to go in on one of their Thursday night karaoke nights with All Mixed Up Entertainment. The sound was incredible and the singers were very talented. Even our waitresses, L and Pricila, got up to sing their hearts out. Lots of fun. We will definitely be back!“

“I was impressed! I travel and experience lots places and this is one of my favorites!“

“Great food and service. We love the patio and fire pits.“

“Delicious food, beautiful restaurant and very nice and friendly staff. I will definitely be back soon.“

“Friday's Dj Music, FOOD,“

“that's is my first times i might like it“

“Gone a hand full of times..never been disappointed yet..then again..I have ordered the same thing every time..chicken tacos and tacos al pastor..and they never miss..I still need to open more my options with what they offer..
Only downfall..they technically close at 5pm..but they have their reason why..so is understandable..“

“Stopped in by chance just passing bcus my daughter wanted to purchase a water and this was the first place we saw after she requested water. Decided to order tacos and they were absolutely delicious. We had the carne asada and it was so flavorful. We ordered as a take out order but the presentation was very neat and colorful with garnishes of red pepper, lime and radish. Nice staff also.“

“Burritos are huge. Don’t recommend the shrimp tacos or chorizo, really salty even when eaten with the rice. Our waitress Guadalupe was rude, doesn’t know how to smile, and kept rushing us. Took a star off because of her.

Really hated that the tip was mandatory with no option to adjust. Tipped almost $20 for absolute garbage service. Will Not return“

“really over priced. ordered viognier was delivered chardonnay, for a few glasses of wine and a.single order of guacamole with tax and tip it was $80! Hard pass.“

“Food was stellar! Had 3 tacos, chicken, steak, and marinated pork. The marinated pork is the way to go. Amazing. The tacos had too much onion/cilantro, but the green sauce was a perfect balance. Slightly pricey at $4/taco but worth it. Inside was nice, a bit dark, and more like long lunch tables than small 2-4 tops. Definitely going back again for the pork tacos. Great food!“

“This place has to be one of my favorites, best tacos in Pilsen!“

“Good tacos ! The steak tacos are really good here .“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“They hosted our private event, everyone was so friendly, the service was fast! Great experience from start to finish! Food was fantastic! ❤️“

“muy rica comida y muy rápido el servicio“

“Delicious food and awesome atmosphere and staff!“

“Best tacos , burritos and Greek chicken in the area. 6 out of 5 stars. Good group of guys behind the counter. They really care about what kind of food they provide. Always fresh and delicious with perfect presentation Also feel at home with the old Greeks guy conversation at the round table combined with the hard working guys behind the counter. Can’t ask for anything more.“

“los mejores "TACOS DE CABEZA" garantizados 😍😋😋🌮🌮🌮🌮“

“Had such a good experience at Solana in Wicker Park.

The tacos were absolutely delicious and full of flavor, but honestly the rooftop view might’ve made the experience even better. Sitting above the Blue Line tracks with a full view of the Chicago skyline felt so cinematic — especially on a sunny day.

The combination of great food, city views, trains passing by, and the colorful murals around the neighborhood made this feel like such a perfect Chicago spot. Easily one of my favorite rooftop experiences in the city.“

“Very good food! I tried the tacos and burritos. Tried 4 meats so far, the lengua and birria both very good! Everything has been very good!“

“Great food nice waiters n pretty place n clean 😊“

“absolutely amazing tacos and great service. I love to eat tacos campechanos(suadero mixed with chorizo) with their cucumber slices on the side with limon and salt. i dip them in the juice that runs off the tacos. utterly delicious.“

“My family and I traveled to Chicago twice this year and dined at the Asian Cuisine Express both times. The owner, cooks and wait staff were all extremely friendly and made each of our visits a wonderful experience. We ordered Chinese and Japanese food and we also sampled some of their new delicious tacos... everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. We live 300 miles away so we ordered a lot of takeout to bring home with us to share with our friends who didn't get to make the trips. Asian Cuisine express will be a regular stop now for us every time we go to Chicago... we highly recommend everyone tries this restaurant and we can't wait until we visit there again. Thanks to all the great people at Asian Cuisine Express!!!“

“Excelente servicio, muy rica comida. Los que me conocen saben que yo no recomiendo si no es bueno! 100 /💯 👌🏻“
