“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.“

“Food was amazing!!!!!! I will definitely be returning!!! Big portions, bursting with flavor, the steak was very juicy and tender. Best arepa, ever. Delicious!!!!😋 The owners are so friendly and welcoming as well. LOVED IT.“

“Love Taqueria Express the Food is Delicious and Love to eat !!!! Awesome 😍😁😀☺️💜💙💚💛💝❤️“

“What makes Cariño special for vegetarians is the intention behind every dish. The team clearly does more than “remove the meat”; they rethink each course so the vegetarian version has its own personality and depth. Thoughtful use of seasonal produce, umami-rich elements, and bright, layered sauces means you never feel like you're getting a compromise.“

“Top place, Quan is brilliant“

“Always a great spot. A little confusion on my take out order (my fault) and they were awesome to throw in some steak on the “chicken/steak platter” I accidentally didn’t specify what I wanted and they guessed chicken. Always a big hello when you walk in. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood.“

There’s no need to travel to the Pilsen neighborhood for authentic Mexican flavors. I tried their Shrimp Tacos, and they were a delicious monster of a meal that sent me to heaven and back.

“I ordered the Chicken Burrito, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was fresh, tender, and clearly well-marinated — every bite bursting with flavor and perfectly wrapped in a warm, soft tortilla. You can truly taste the quality and care in the preparation.
I also tried the Steak and Shrimp Tacos, and they were equally impressive. The steak was juicy and seasoned to perfection, while the shrimp were plump, fresh, and cooked just right. Each taco had that perfect balance of texture and spice that makes you want to order another round.“
