“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

“Absolutely incredible! From the moment the food hit the table, everything looked fresh and packed with flavor. The burrito was stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh pico de gallo, beans, rice, and all the right toppings—every bite was delicious. The chips were warm, crispy, and paired perfectly with the creamy queso, fresh salsa, and homemade guacamole. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients.

And the margarita? Easily one of the best I’ve had! Perfectly chilled, refreshing, with just the right balance of citrus and tequila—not too sweet and incredibly smooth. It was the perfect complement to the meal.

Great food, amazing drinks, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food and an outstanding margarita, this place is definitely worth the visit. I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“Try as many tacos as you can! The fish tacos are a much but the birria tacos blew me away!“

“Best Al pastor and quesadilla in recent memory. Burrito had generous quantity of meat. I had ordered the Quesadilla with steak added. It was served open-faced, with a layer of cheese that was delightfully crispy on the outside and gooey underneath (like you normally only get on the edges) and the steak was on top of the cheese with cilantro, onion, and avo. Friendly staff shared meat treats with our pup. Two tables, shade, and front row seats to the meat roasting on a spit over hot coals. Will crave this until we visit again!!“

“This was our 2nd time coming to Zombie Taco with our kids and they loved it! Such a fun decor and not the traditional seating. It’s a bar-type atmosphere but it has a ton of old-school games that we can play (that was such a hit with all of us!) The food is so good and priced well. The drinks are amazing and really great customer service. It’s even kid-friendly! (Suggest going earlier though if you plan to bring your kids.) Our family LOVES Zombie Taco!!“

“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“

“Great food, will be back again. Won’t get tacos from anywhere else!“

“We were traveling and needed a place to watch college football on a Saturday and this place hit the spot! Drinks were delicious, decent selection on tap, and the food was fresh! If I’m ever in Chicago again, this will definitely be a favorite.“

“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.“

“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 this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“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.“

“really over priced. ordered viognier was delivered chardonnay, for a few glasses of wine and a.single order of guacamole with tax and tip it was $80! Hard pass.“

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

“I finally got a chance to check out and it did NOT disappoint. The burrito is SO good; tasty, filling, a little spicy, and truly the perfect size. The green salsa it comes with was also a really good spice level for me. I can’t wait to try more on the menu!“

“Food was stellar! Had 3 tacos, chicken, steak, and marinated pork. The marinated pork is the way to go. Amazing. The tacos had too much onion/cilantro, but the green sauce was a perfect balance. Slightly pricey at $4/taco but worth it. Inside was nice, a bit dark, and more like long lunch tables than small 2-4 tops. Definitely going back again for the pork tacos. Great food!“

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

“They hosted our private event, everyone was so friendly, the service was fast! Great experience from start to finish! Food was fantastic! ❤️“

“Excelente Lugar y unos deluciosos panini mis hijos les encanta“

“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.“

“Very good food! I tried the tacos and burritos. Tried 4 meats so far, the lengua and birria both very good! Everything has been very good!“

“Cabos Tacos in dowtown Chicago located at 15 W. Washington Avenue offers the best Shrimp and Cheese Tacos in the city, paired with incredible homemade hot sauces. There’s no need to travel to the Pilsen neighborhood for authentic Mexican flavors. I tried their Shrimp Tacos, and they were a delicious monster of a meal that sent me to heaven and back. I can’t wait to return for more. Congratulations to Cabos Tacos for being on the culinary cutting edge of high-quality Mexican food—you truly represent Chicago well.

“The food at Fuego is absolutely amazing. I love their Tortilla soup. The homemade guacamole is good enough to be its own food group! Their staff are some of the friendliest I've ever encountered.

We were fortunate enough to go in on one of their Thursday night karaoke nights with All Mixed Up Entertainment. The sound was incredible and the singers were very talented. Even our waitresses, L and Pricila, got up to sing their hearts out. Lots of fun. We will definitely be back!“
