“I wanted a breakfast burrito, and they had one on the menu.

The burrito had beans, cheese, eggs, chorizo, tomato, and sour cream (I skipped the lettuce). It was very tasty, and it was nice and toasted on the outside. Surprisingly, it was not that greasy. The green salsa was very good. I will come back again and try a burrito or burrito bowl.“

“It’s been about six months since we’ve ordered from chipotle. For the reason they kept messing up the order, what a turnaround. we ordered lunch from there today and everything was right on point. We ordered the chicken burrito bowl and the chicken burrito, chips and salsa and their new Adobo ranch sauce. If you haven’t tried that Adobo Ranch you need to, it was phenomenal. They need to bottle it up and put it on the shelves in the store. It was amazing. The location I went to the line was down to the front door. looked like they were a little shorthanded. we waited 10 extra minutes from our pickup time.
They kept apologizing for the delay.
It was definitely worth the wait!“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“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.“

“This restaurant is the best! Service is excellent, friendly staff, best Mexican food ever. Different things on menu than usual fare. Place very clean. Soups, homemade drinks, and cakes are out of this world. You will not be disappointed! You gotta come here.“

“I highly recommend Manchamanteles Restaurant! My dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I will definitely be returning when in town!“

“The flavors were great in general. However, the salsa was essentially tomato sauce and a big disappointment. The guacamole needed some garlic or green onion or salt. The only other problem was the salad had very little (if any) dressing. The tacos and the special quesadillas were great. Service was good. Overall, good enough that we will be back.“

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

“I’ve written several reviews about this restaurant because I just can’t say enough. Best Mexican food, excellent service. Cute, intimate setting you must try for yourself. BYOB. I’ve gone on record to say that I had the best steak I have ever had, with their skirt steak in their Tampiquena dish.“

“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!“

“La birria 👌🏻👌🏻 los tacos 😋😋 todoooooooo riquísimo“

“These brisket fries I had were like a meal, so good, definitely would share as an appetizer next time with friends. Went for happy hour, loved the $8 frozen margarit, do the swirl! Bar tenders, think names were Shawn and Tyler, were great, if you ever go, ask Tyler something dumb, dude is hilarious! Great service, great time! Good place for a date or to hang with friends for sure!“

“Onions and cilantro is on my top spots for tacos! How it isn’t more know is beyond me! I will say it is amazing! The food speaks for itself. Beyond Amazing! I got the three taco dinner and my friend for the fajitas! The owners even gave us a more mild salsa to try. have to say they are amazing! Loved the food and the service was great!“

“Ambiance was fun, yet warm and authentic. Service was friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. We’ve been looking for an alternative to our regular Mexican restaurant. We will return.“

“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!“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“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! 🎉“

“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 visited this place on yesterday randomly looking for breakfast spots. As soon as we entered, all of the employees greeted us with a smile, and a hello the atmosphere was extremely welcoming and made us extremely excited.. We let our waitress. Maria know that it was our first time she assured us that we would be satisfied. We were indeed satisfied I highly recommend this place. Please go check them out.“

“Amazing food !!!!! Phenomenal service!!!! We definitely enjoyed everything on the menu. Will for-sure be returning!!!“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“Ever since our former far north side Mexican go-to restaurant had a fire and reopened without the same quality of food we used to love, my partner and I have been looking for a new delivery and eat-in joint. We love how awesome the universe of Mexican food is here in Chicago but a lot of the eateries on the far north side are just kind of meh. Nobody deserves to eat meh Mexican food in Chicago, ever. It took us a year and a half to finally find Taqueria El Charro and we’re completely blown away. I’ve lived in Chicago for 21 years and he’s lived in Chicago almost as long. I used to teach English in Pilsen. Once I had a chance to move back home to New York City and I sat in a Chicago Mexican restaurant at 18th and Ashland and cried because I didn’t want to leave Chicago Mexican food behind. So, this place has some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten here in my adopted hometown. I don’t say that lightly. You don’t kid around with Mexican food in Chicago. I cannot emphasize how quietly awesome this place is.“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“Soooooo goooddd! Best asada taco I’ve had in a while!“

“Everything was delicious! We went to Hoja Santa and loved every bite. The butternut squash was surprisingly amazing so flavorful. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, juicy and full of taste. 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!“

“The food is amazing and we enjoy all the time and the service is excellent.“

“Consistently excellent friendly service and fresh, delicious authentic food.“

“I had a craving for some good halal Mexican food, and my friend recommended this place! I wasn’t sure what to order, but the worker Shayaan gave me lots of options and told me what he recommended! I had a great experience, and the food was delicious! Will be making this my regular spot!“

“Fresh and good flavor. Not a big menu but burrito was outstanding.“

“Food is fantastic .. the steak torta is soooo good Definitely a place to visit when you are in Chicago. I will be back“

“The food and customer service are phenomenal! I cannot wait to go back.“

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

“I have never left a review until this moment. Pls go to this restaurant. I had the chicken taco meal and my partner had the pastor tacos special. Very well priced and amazing food. All of the salsas were especially delicious. The staff are delightful. My belly is full and my brain is happy.“

“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!!!“

“very friendly great food great service“

“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.“

“Just amazing! Best ever! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“
