Original Taco is known for serving great food, including the best tacos in Palatine, with quick service and friendly staff. While they do not offer free chips and salsa, their salsas and guacamole are flavorful and enjoyable. The small restaurant has a few tables and a clean bathroom, making it a cozy spot to dine. The owner and staff are very kind, providing great service to regular customers. The decor is simple and old-fashioned, giving the place a nostalgic feel that adds to its charm. Parking is available upfront in the small plaza, making it convenient to visit. However, they charge a credit card fee, and cash is not accepted after the transaction is processed. Overall, it’s a popular place to enjoy a quick and tasty meal when cooking isn’t an option.
