16 Best Taco Restaurants near Palatine

“Beer-battered shrimp tacos, with their special topping, plus we added a slice of avocado, was what we had for dinner tonight. My husband stopped midway through his meal and said this was the BEST TACOS …and guacamole! Thank you Taco Shop!!!“

“We had dinner tonight at the East Dundee location my wife and I shared 4 different tacos and the rotisserie chicken. We loved everything especially the fresh tortillas. Great service We will be back!“

“Great food. Best Tacos in town“

“Delicious Mexican food and creative cuisine.“

“Stopped by on a whim and was very, very surprised. The outside is quite attractive with an outside eating area. The inside is nice and clean with plenty of seating. We ordered chips and salsa, Pollo with Mole, and the Steak Burrito Fajita. The chips are homemade (as expected) and very good. The chicken in the Pollo with Mole was super tender. The mole was rich. It came with homemade corn tortillas. The Steak Burrito is filled with fajita fillings, so steak, green and red peppers, and onions. The flour tortilla was filled and grilled giving the whole a nice smokey flavor. It was one of the very best burritos I have ever had. Look over my reviews. I have eaten a lot of burritos. They have a creamy salsa verde that is great, a very nice Roja sauce, and a hot sauce that is no joke hot. Our server was great and the whole experience was a great one. Will be back soon.“

“Los Azares Mexican Grill delivers every time! Easily the best Mexican restaurant in Des Plaines. The Mixed Fajitas are packed with flavor—tender steak, juicy chicken, and perfectly cooked shrimp with fresh peppers and onions. Served with rice, beans, tortillas, and all the toppings—it’s a complete and satisfying meal!“

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.“

“Really GREAT customer service! Steak taco dinner was fantastic! Loved the rice & beans. Horchata was delicious too. Very satisfying and great prices! The owner and his wife are so nice!“

“Great tacos and delicious horchata!“

“Tacos Tijuana style bursting in flavor. good tasting salsas. Cool looking inside. Waiting time when dining-in needs improvement.“

“Straight fire. Been here many times and never had a bad experience. They recently added birria and $3 margaritas which is an insane deal. If they push more for it to be a bar spot with those prices it would be packed 24/7. Will continue to come here for awesome food.“

“We just had a fabulous experience here! The place smelled super clean, bathrooms were extremely clean also! Food was yummy! I had a chicken fajita quesadilla and a churro. My hubby tried a lengue taco & a steak plate with cactus! Waitress was so nice & fast service!!“

“Great food food and service!“

“Excelente servicio ya comida 10/10“

“The food was great! Greek salad was fresh and full of ingredients. My family had the beef tortas with which they were very generous with the beef and it was fresh and tasty. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the fries were terrible. I'm a self proclaimed fry master and these fries tasted like they'd been sitting around all day. I would visit again though and ask for fresh fries next time around.“

“I had just the taco, I've never been a bit fan of corn tortillas, but these were a bit better than usual. The prices were good, portions are solid, although it seemed like no one was at the front they always popped up immediately if you walked toward the counter, ensuring good service and quick food times. The sauce choices are good, three options of different spice le els. One thing I've never seen before is rice in the salt shakers, I guess it ensures no clumps and moisture, ensuring good salt, but it does look a little weird. Overall very solid place to grab a bite, I'd recommend you try the hottest sauce“
