“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

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

“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.“

“Great Customer Service & Delicious Authentic Mexican food“

“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 🙌✨“

“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.“

“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“

“This place is truly one of the best spots for Mexican food 🌮😋! I tried a steak burrito and some steak tacos, and the flavor of the steak was amazing 🤤. Portions were generous, and even though I got my order to go 🥡, the restaurant itself is small, cozy, and super clean ✨. I loved the cute decorations and the overall vibe 🪴🎨. Definitely a must-visit if you’re on the Southside 👍. I’ll absolutely be coming back soon!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Pacheco's food is delicious and generous and they are always so friendly!! For my money, it is the best taco salad in the city. They have brightened up that little spot and we are so grateful to have them as neighbors ❤“

“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.“

“this restaurant is an absolute gem!! my partner and i had an early dinner here last saturday and were really blown away by how incredible the food, drinks and service were. between us we had soup, flautas, wings, a gordita and a burrito and we basically gushed over how delicious it all was for days after!

the drinks alone are reason enough to stop in.

the place is a masterclass in substance AND style, and we can’t wait to try some more menu items next time!“

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

“Friday's Dj Music, FOOD,“

“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!!!“

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

“Everyone is friendly and respectful“

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

“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“

“muy rica comida y muy rápido el servicio“

“Awesome environment and favorite place to get tacos!!!“

“I just ate here today. And service was great food was good and made ready to order. Who ever that girl is on the register is is hella mad gorgeous. Definitely would recommend and I am coming back. I'm really thankful they had a bilingual speaking person. Everything was Neat and organized and clean.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was great. From the food to the service and even the prices. My husband and I went for Valentines day. We got the V-Day which was a birria pizza n desert for $25. My husband had the ground beef enchilada dinner. We both had a passion fruit margarita. The birria pizza was cooked to perfection. The meat was seasoned, tender, and tasty. The consome was 10 out of 10. My husband said every in the enchiladas dinner was good. The owner and his wife are very friendly. The wife took the order and had a wonderful conversation with us. Food didn't take long to prepare. Great experience will be back soon.“

“Great Food! Also, a very friendly staff.“

“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.“

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

“Everytime I have a day off I check to see where the food truck is going to be at love love love their tacos!!!😋“

“🔥🔥🔥 Tacos pura lumbre! 💯% recomendados. Los de al pastor una chulada!“

“This place was so good! My boyfriend, baby, and I came here to dine in yesterday and the food was phenomenal. We were looking for queso barria tacos on google and they showed up. The server was awesome. They didn’t have a kids menu but I asked if they can do rice and eggs for the baby and they did just that he loved his meal as well! The cook even came to talk to us for a bit which I thought was pretty cool…very personalable! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for your service 😁“

“Food is absolutely delicious5, everything I've tried. I'm ready to have it again. I just wish they would trim the one inches high entryway outside a bright yellow. I've even red around the yellow to draw attention to the "trip", at other establishments. It's just an accident waiting to happen. Thank you.“

“muy rica comida y muy rápido el servicio“

“I’ve been seeing for a while, finally stopped. As you get closer, you can already smell the tacos, so that pulls you in quick. First thing I liked, they actually have a seating area. Didn’t have to stand around eating, which is a big plus for a truck. The people working there were super nice and friendly.

I ordered four tacos, two cabeza and two asada. They came out fast and hot, nice and crispy, and loaded with meat. The cabeza was tender, delicious, soft and full of flavor. But the asada… yeah, that was the one. Tender, juicy, really well seasoned, and you get that slight char that gives it extra flavor.

Then the green salsa… that’s what took it up. Not too spicy, but packed with flavor. It adds this fresh, tangy kick that cuts through the richness of the meat and brings everything together. With the asada, it just works, you get that smoky, savory bite from the meat and then the salsa comes in and brightens it up. Makes you go right back for the next bite.

Simple, but done right. I’d come back for those asada tacos easy.“

“L’Patron Cantina exceeded my expectations! The customer service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish came out hot and tasted amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service!“
