“Came and sat at the bar with a friend and was greeted by Desi. She was very polite and attentive. She recommended getting one of the famous daiquiris and the catfish dinner. Everything came out good. Food was delicious. I will be back!“

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.“

“Amazing tacos, especially the al pastor and the fresh made guacamole just topped it off! We came to this place on the first day of our stay, basing ourselves on all the great reviews, and had no reason to look for any other tacos places for the rest of our trip.“

“Tacos con sazón muy buenos . Y servicio excelente. Precio justo .“

“The food and drinks were good, the service was attentive and friendly but let the buyer beware! The waitstaff asked: "Celebrating a birthday?" Let us get you some shots! This happened twice however, all the shots ended up on our bill and it was $56 for four shots! Twice!“

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“

“Oooooorale’! We found another hidden gem! (Well not really hidden, lol) este restaurante está riquísimo! For all of you non-Spanish speakers, this place is delicious! It looks small from the outside, but it’s enormous in flavor! It’s a very cute and nicely decorated place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. But the food… it rocks! We ordered the Orden de Quesobirria and a Carne en su Jugo and a Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus water) and a Horchata (rice water). The Carne stew was delicious! So many levels of flavors. The birria was fantastic! Levels and levels of flavor. Will definitely be back for the Menudo this weekend. See you all here!“

“Lu Lu’s restaurant is a GEM! She treats her customers like family and is just the sweetest! The food is always hot and delicious - my favorite is her pambazo sandwich. The flavor profile and texture combination is perfection. I can’t recommend her family-run restaurant enough. Amazing food and even better people. 🩷“

“I stopped by with my toddler and was immediately greeted by staff. Ordered the breakfast burrito and a taco and rice for my daughter and the food was delicious. The rice was flavorful, the tortilla was fresh and the best part was the agua de Mango. Will definitely have to stop in again and try other items on the menu.“

While you are there you may want to try their Margaritas. You can’t go wrong EVERYTHING is sinfully delicious.“

“Unforgettable Graduation Party Catering
We chose Chicago Taco Authority for our graduation celebration—and what an absolutely fantastic decision! The catering spread featured their Chicken Tinga Taco, vibrant Taco Salad, freshly made hand‑cut chips, and creamy guacamole/avocado—each item was packed with impeccable care and tasted incredibly fresh.
The Chicken Tinga Taco was a standout, with tender, savory shredded chicken seasoned just right—a fan favorite among our guests. The taco salad was bright, crisp, and loaded with fresh ingredients that felt premium and flavorful. The hand‑cut chips stayed crisp throughout the party, and that guac… oh my—it was creamy, ripe, and bursting with pure avocado goodness!
Every component arrived neatly organized, labeled, and still perfectly fresh—no sogginess, no mess—just beautiful presentation and incredible taste. My classmates and I couldn’t get enough!
I am excited to visit the restaurant in person to dive into more menu items and to experience the full in‑house vibe. Chicago Taco Authority has earned me as a loyal fan—highly recommend for any celebration! 🎉“

The bone marrow was incredible. You can really tell how much care goes into each dish. The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent Katherine is super friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be coming back!“

“Let me just start by saying that this locksmith was amazing. He showed up in about 20 minutes after I called for help and fixed the lock on my car door. They were so fast, thorough, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this locksmith to anyone who needs help with their car key coping!“

“Their quesabirria is the bomb!!!!!!!!“

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien“

“very friendly great food great service“

“I think i have rated this place in the past, but this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TAQUERIA. THE STEAK TACOS ARE FYYYYYYYEERRR...so damn good. I live in the south suburbs and this place is so worth the trip. Food, service and atmosphere TOP TIER!!!“

“Amazing tacos! Heard the owner came from Atotonilco Taqueria, so I knew I had to try it and I’m glad I did! Carne was nice and soft, salsa spicy and flavorful, and I asked for the tortilla crispy and it was perfect! And the tacos survived an hour drive home, so I can only imagine how they would taste fresh!“

“Hands-down, my favorite taco place in Chicago. The tacos are amazing and so is the service. Authentic , and great tasting! Amazing meat choices, and tasty agua frescas. Is Cash Only. If you ever want tacos and are in the portage Park area come to taco Feliz.“

“Used to come here younger years after hard night of drinking, food was great then and today after all these years later.“

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien“

“DELICIOUS! The best chilaquiles in Chicago without a doubt. I'm from CDMX and they are the only ones who know Mexico. The sauce is spicy, the cream is liquid, the jerky melts in your mouth, all very greasy just like in the city haha.
If you miss Mexico or have never been and want to know what good chilaquiles taste like, this is the right place.

Of course, it takes time because the place is small and there is usually a line.“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“Don’t skip on this place! This restaurant is very very good and underrated. Service and food is amazing. Lady that was serving us explained it was her and her family’s business and they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is easily one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend. Enchiladas estilo Jalisco and flautas are my favorite. We can’t get enough! We hope they stick around for many many years to come.“

“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.“

“Good food for a cheap price. I had their Monday special that was a burrito for $5.50. I also like the fact that it's in walking distance from Galloping Ghost, so if you're hungry you don't have to go far to get some good food.“

“this place is great! the food is fresh and always delicious and the staff are all so friendly. bonus points for having a booth at the car shows! it's become our weekly go-to. Hope to see them at the taste of Westmont next year!!“

“5 star service Authentic Mexican Food The tamales are absolutely amazing I’ve been here several times and it’s amazing every time.“

“Muy buen sazón estilo Guerrero Todo está muy rico Todo hecho al instante , tortitas y comida , muy recomendable.“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“It's a hole in the wall Mexican sandwich place. Are you looking for a torta? They have tortas. They also have burritos, quesadillas, and tacos which are; in my opinion, also Mexican sandwiches.

Are you wondering if it's good? It's good. Is it the best sandwich you're ever going to have? Will this sandwich change your life? I wouldn't go that far but it's good, the price is right, the people are friendly, and it's fast.“
