17 Best Taco Restaurants near Highland Park

“The service was fine. Our server was polite and responsive. The atmosphere is casual. As there are lots of hard surfaces, the noise level is somewhat high. The food was good. The "black truffle" barrata is a ball of cheese on top of some stewed green vegetables. I detected no evidence of any truffles in the dish. No truffle aroma or flavor. Seafood pasta primavera was tasty with fresh seafood.“

“Great drinks and even better atmosphere.“

“Delicious food and awesome atmosphere and staff!“

“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.“

“Excellent food with big portions with the best service. Very friendly and clean. I posted some pictures of what we ate. Thanks again.“

“Delicious Mexican food and creative cuisine.“

“I had looked at the menu before I came here so I knew I wanted The Cuban Sandwich when I arrived. It was fast and fresh. The meat was mouth watering! Was the best Cuban I ever had. I was not expecting this. Hoping for goodness.. but the best!! ???. The service was fast and friendly.
I give this place 5⭐️

“Excelent service amazing 🤩 place“

“This location is best approached as a modern, fusion-style snack and dessert spot, not a traditional La Michoacana street-food stand — and once you understand that, it’s actually a fun experience.

While the name points toward classic Mexican treats, the menu is much broader and global. You’ll find Indian street food, Nepali momos, fusion fries, masala flavors, lassis, aguas frescas, and desserts all sharing the same space. It’s less about authenticity and more about variety and creativity.

The food was very good. The momos were delicious, and the loaded fries were a standout — flavorful, generous, and well executed. Everything we tried tasted fresh and satisfying.

A big plus is that the entire menu is halal, which is rare for this kind of snack-and-dessert concept and makes it especially appealing for families and groups with mixed tastes.

The ambience is simple and casual — more functional than trendy — but the customer service absolutely makes up for it. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm, which leaves a great impression.

If you’re looking for pure, traditional Mexican La Michoacana street food, this may not match that expectation. But if you’re open to a modern, multicultural twist with solid food and great hospitality, it’s definitely worth checking out.“

“Made fresh to order. I’ve tried plenty of their menu items and enjoyed everything!“

“Wonderful food!!! I love it all!!! I especially like their tamales and flan!!! The owners are hands on, super guys ! They not only create amazing dishes but they give back to the community. Great food! Great hearts! Five stars! C”mon down and enjoy!“

“Our meals were very flavorful - not sure why other reviews reported as bland. We've found bland elsewhere. Friendly service, fresh food, not greasy. Nice variety of dishes. Chicken, steak, shrimp - all very delicious! Kiosk ordering quick and accurate.“

“Great food. Easy parking & place in clean. The staff is friendly.“

“2 fat pastor tacos + fat loaded steak torta for $20 bucks ish.

Left really full with half a left over torta, delicious salsas. Atmosphere is a little quiet and awkward but I also came at 10pm so I guess it was kinda peaceful in a way.“
