“We have an amazing time every time we go there. We enjoy taking one of our bikes, muscle cars, antique cars etc for a night out, and going for great food and entertainment. The bartender is absolutely fantastic! He remembers what we drive, hobbies etc. It’s just an all around great place to go. The burgers are just absolutely fantastic.

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

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

“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.“

“Antique Taco Wicker Park not only has great food, but they also care about their community! I reached out about bringing in my teen social group for a local community outing, and they were so flexible and welcoming. They allowed us to practice ordering, paying, and socializing in a public space. The teens had an amazing night in an inclusive setting ❤️“

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

“Great Customer Service & Delicious Authentic Mexican food“

“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.“

“best fish tacos in town.. great service“

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

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

“I ordered a torta de milanesa de res. It was delicious the bread was fresh and toasted. The meat was crispy and the veggies were fresh. I also had the horchata which was very tasty as well. I’d say generally the price was very good for the torta as well and I hope to come back soon.“

“Friday's Dj Music, FOOD,“

“De Luna Taco Grill is a must-try for taco enthusiasts in Pilsen! I stopped by for dinner and ordered the Volcano Steak Tacos—spicy poblano peppers, melted cheese, and perfectly grilled steak wrapped in a warm tortilla. Each taco was packed with flavor and had a nice kick. The staff was friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh. I spent around $20 for four tacos, which is a great deal. The only downside was the limited seating, but it's worth the visit. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food and awesome atmosphere and staff!“

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

“Tried these tacos today and I must say.; It’s like having a little taste of Mexico in every bite. From the variety of tacos all the way to the salsas and fresh beverages. Located on Chicago’s South side on 63rd and Talman. Family owned business. 🇲🇽 🌮 🥤😋“

“The tacos here were AMAZING!!! For tacos shocked at even the presentation. Nothing better than coming across ppl who look like they enjoy what they do and these ppl definitely enjoy what they do. Long story short if you’re hungry Mon-Sat and on St Charles in Berkeley passing, worth checking out!!“

“This place reminded me of Velvet Taco. We really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the margaritas. I’d go back for the chips and salsa alone. One suggestion would be to organize the menu by protein to make ordering easier and consider trimming down the offerings to better highlight the strongest items.“

“Tom’s Carry-Out has a massive menu—everything from Greek chicken and gyros to ribs, fried seafood, burgers, and Mexican dinners. I usually avoid places with menus this big, but Tom’s proved to be the exception.

I ordered the quesadilla dinner. It was a bit greasy but still tasty and filling. It came with Mexican rice, refried beans (I opted for double rice), and a TomTom tamale. The tamale was a little dry and could have used salsa. My husband had the grilled chicken pita and said it was the best he’s ever had—freshly grilled chicken with lettuce and tomato. I also spotted the Greek chicken at another table, and it looked excellent.

Beer is reasonably priced at $3.50 for domestic and $4.50 for imported. There’s a separate gaming room, which I appreciated since it keeps the dining area quieter. Seating is limited to about a dozen tables, but staff cleared tables quickly, so there was no wait. They also partner with popular delivery services.

Parking is shared with nearby businesses, but most spots seem to be used by Tom’s customers. I’m already planning to try the Greek chicken and Gyros next.“

“Instead of chips and salsa, they serve free chicharrones with a selection of salsa, which were quite unique. The taco was loaded with delicious carnitas. Their menudo was on the plain side but full of tripe. The cactus salad offered a unique texture and refreshing taste. Their corn tortillas also have a strong corn flavor. Overall, this place lives up to its hype. You could also specify which part of the pig you want your carnitas from.“

“Best tacos in the south ✅✅ keep up the good work“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“muy rica comida y muy rápido el servicio“

“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!“

“Insanely good, food made almost scarily fast, and reasonable prices, don't mistake it for a tourist trap just because it's next to the conservatory. Get a burrito with cilantro and onion if you're hungry in the area, you won't regret it.“

“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.“

“I came here to experience the business and food side! Definitely enjoyed Jose the owner. Very welcoming and the food matched the vibes.

MY FAVORITE I’ve tried is the CHICKEN TINGA TACO 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Will be back to try the Shrimp Tacos & Surf-n-Turf Tacos.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Snacks in the park!!! Omg!! The tacos and elotes are great!!! Can’t wait to come back to try more snacks! 🥰🤩😋“

“The food was AMAZING, the staff was amazing. I give it a 5 star.“

“Good quiet Taco place. Tortillas are handmade and big. The carne asada and al pastor meat is cooked perfect with a lil char on the asada. A cash only place but also takes zelle/quickpay. Not too busy but good place if you want a quick but delicious bite.“
