The juice/horchata/lemonade Are incredible - if it’s your first time, owner lets you sample each one. Ordered the birria quesadilla dinner with chips and guac, all of which were outstanding and so authentic. Will definitely 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.“

“Penelope's Vegan Taqueria Andersonville hits the spot! Honestly, this is probably the best vegan Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. The portions are a nice size with many great menu options. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food and ambiance are great. The Chunky Quesa Taco (cheddar cheese quesadillas taco topped with asada, onion, cilantro, lettuce, tomato and green salsa) is a must try! Overall, if you visit, you will not regret it!“

I usually order steak tacos but the chicken baby converted me to a chicken taco lover! It is so well seasoned & tender. It’s just *chef’s kiss*“

“Beautiful restaurant, screams chicago definitely very unique I had asada and pastor tacos. they were delicious they had a good amount of meat in em definitely worth their price. The horchata was delicious as well not at all watery. A taco place is as good as their salsa...if you like spicy their red salsa does the job although both are very delicious. Service was friendly and fast I got greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Definitely will be back!“

“Even though it was super busy bc of Valentines , service was spot on. Everybody was working so hard to accommodate every table. Food was delicious. We love the fact that it's family run. Everyone is so cordial and pleasant. We keep going back for more. We like sitting at the bar also, Jackie, the bartender is friendly and sweet And efficient. Give it a try!“

“Omg this was so so good. We got the Al pastor, carne asada and bistec for a total of $10. The carne asada was so so so good!! The bistec was also delicious and the portion was huge. My friend got the Al pastor and was really satisfied.Sergio was so nice. Would happily come back next time I’m in the area.“

“Food was delish, felt super rushed by our waitress who kept constantly appearing to take our order while the ladies hadn’t reviewed menu or were trying to catch up. I did enjoy a cocktail at the bar solo and had a nice chat with the young bartender. Overall a little noisy. But good experience overall.“

“The Challah French toast is AMAZING! We loved everything we ordered. I’m only taking away 1 star because the coffee was pretty terrible. When your food is next level, please serve coffee that is up to your clearly incredibly high standards! Intelligentsia? Metropolis? We have so many great local choices! But, overall, fantastic experience! We’ll be back!“

“A hole in wall gem. This spot made it to my authentic flavor list. Every bite was flavorful and ingredients were proportionally put together making the burrito very enjoyable. The 2 guys working there were very enthusiast towards customers making the whole experience awesome.“

“Unfortunately, BCC closed just before Valentine's Day and so far, no news on where the key team members have moved on to. And no news on what may replace on this site, this is truly the tragic loss of a restaurant that was destined for great things.“

“Whats up fellow taqueros, this is your faithful TacoLoco her to review TTS. This hidden gem is legit. Nice, clean, bright and with great service.But who cares about that! Let's get down to why we came here.I ordered the taco dinner and a Diet Coke. If I'd know it was BYOB, I would have picked up 2 taco degenerates and a 12 Pk of Modelos and had a run at it.The meal was $19, but we'll worth it.The rice was fresh and well balanced. The flavor was authentic and the grains were perfectly cooked.The beans were AMAZING!I had them mix my dinner with one steak, pastor and carnitas. The steak was thin sliced and tasty but would have been better if it was flame grilled, but not bad! The Pastor was great! Light but tally and with real chunks of pineapple. Yes, pineapple.If you know, you know. The carnitas stole the show. They were fresh, lean and moist. Yeah, I said it - Moist! The salsa'a were full of flavor but medium hot. I like scorching lava hot, but these 2 were good.All in all, great place to eat. If you ever need a TD (Taco Degenerate) for company when coming here, 'put me in Coach!'“

“Real Mexican tacos! Tacos and tortas are very well served, the people is very friendly and the food was out at a super speed. Restroom was very clean too. The tables and the whole place look a bit old but clean, clean, clean!Kid-friendliness: Our kids love plain tacos but even for the picky eaters they have chicken nuggets, fries, burgers and quesadillas, so I would say it is a very good place to eat with kids. Plus the beverages are delicious.“

“All the food was amazing but definitely loved the chicken al pastor tacos. The restaurant is completely halal and also has a great selection of salsas to accompany the food. Highly recommend!Parking: There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant with about a dozen spots“

“It's one of the best taco places in Chicago. The food is fresh and generously served; there are more than 20 kinds of tacos to enjoy, and the salsas are delicious. La Plancha loca serves Mexican sodas and beers that are always cold and easy to grab.Service is always friendly to native Mexicans and Americans; people can sit inside or outside in a pleasant setting.My favorites are “Vampiros” and “Tacos De lengua”.I recommend La Plancha Loca to all my friends and customers.Vegetarian options: Taco guacamole, Taco soy chorizo, and nopalesKid-friendliness: Kids are welcomeWheelchair accessibility: The sidewalk is wide and accesible“

“Amazing place. I suggest changing the name to the Michoacana Elite! I was amazed at how nice it looked compared to any other location I have visited. The food is fusion, and the samosa smash pizza was to die for. I highly recommend this place! Of course, the sweets are fantastic, “

“The food was amazing !! I wanted a quick bite after work and ran into this little spot. I got one of each empanada that they had. The chicken one was Devine!! For a small place the food is very tasty and worth the trip. They were also very friendly and patient with my indecisiveness which I greatly appreciated.“

“We always do take out or delivery. They've consistently! been the most delicious tacos I've had. The guacamole is phenomenal. All we talk about throughout dinner is how much we are enjoying our dinner. It's really nice to have food that both meets my dietary restrictions AND tastes incredible.“

“The food here is AMAZING! It’s an excellent place to try something new or familiar but with an elevated taste. Plus it’s Vegetarian friendly!Vegetarian options: Every burger on the menu is able to be substituted for either a mushroom burger OR an impossible burger. They’re both delicious.“

“We had an amazing time here for our Honeymoon!!! Darrik was so hospitable and knew a lot about the beers on tap. The other staff were also very friendly and gave suggestions on where to eat breakfast (local only was what we wanted.) We came back for other food suggestions and ended up eating here and boy was it delicious. The smash burger had tones of flavor and so did my wife’s wrap. This is definitely a stop again and if you like local this is the place. I did sample some beers and if you are a micro brew guy and like IPA, they don’t disappoint. They are an easy walk off the Metra also so if you want to sip and dip, great choice!“

“Very unassuming place. I just walked in randomly and had their steak burrito and a few tacos - food was excellent, very generous portions, great prices, and super clean. So glad to come here afterwards and see it has so many good reviews. Very well deserved!Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“First and foremost, the staff of any restaurant are the ones that truly keep an establishment running and thriving and are the heart and representation of the business.The hostess / order-taker and crew at Stacked and Folded, were super friendly to us and offered such great customer service!The atmosphere inside is very nice and offers an elevated casyal food experience.Even though the average taco is around $6.50, it is very large and offers a lot of the actual ingredients. This was the case with my short rib taco. The short rib taco did offer a little bit of that spicy hot but not too much which was good, and yes, was slightly sweet in the sauce as advertised. Overall, the flavor combination was very good and would rate it a 3.9 out of 5. It was just tender and juicy enough, but could even be a little bit more tender in the meat. I know it is not easy when it comes to short ribs and believe me they did a good job here! It is worth getting!We had also ordered the short rib sandwich, but I recommend to have the short rib in the taco form. It just taste even better with the corn tortillas!The sweet potato fries are a five out of five star! Some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. They are cooked perfection, and have that right texture on the outside and perfect on the inside. Amazing.Now as a cook, my (James’) critique is focused on the shrimp taco. Like every other item, Katherine and I had, the shrimp taco is made in a very fresh and flavorful, non-greasy and healthy tasting manner.What observations and what can be worked on from the creators of the menu is the following:The shrimp in your shrimp tacos-at least when we visited—was just plain cooked shrimp and was actually dry. My advice based on the best shrimp tacos I have ever encountered or made are taking thawed raw shrimp, then marinate them of course, and grill them briefly and just right so that they come out juicy and tender and with that amazing flavor profile.That would make your shrimp tacos a five out of five.“

“I’ve been driving past Mas Tacos for awhile and always been wanting to stop in. Finally got the chance to and I’m mad I didn’t go sooner!! Got a carnitas taco and steak torta. The steak was flavorful and juicy and the carnitas was also super good. It was reasonably priced and pretty decent portions. The margaritas were delicious too ?“

“Great place to eat, the food is very delicious and the prices are phenomenal.One plate was enough to fill me up for lunch and have dinner as well. They have very friendly staff and have good music.Only thing to be aware of is that they have no parking lot so be on the lookout not to park on the lot next to them as that belongs to just tires and you will be towed.Muy Buena comida con precios excellentes y las porsiones son muy generosas.Los trabajadores son muy amables y tienen muy bonita Musica.No tienen lote de estacionamiento asi que no se vallan a estacionar en el lote de just tires porque pueden pedir que la grua se lleve su carro.Parking: Parking must be on the street only“

“(Translated by Google) I had always visited this place but the person who was there today gave me terrible service, a very rude woman and she is already a lady. The truth is that I do not recommend it on Sunday while I attend people like Eya, very bad service and bad treatment My daughter, rude lady in a bad mood(Original)Siempre avía visitado ested lugar pero la persona que estaba hoy me dió un pésimo servicio una mujer muy mal educada y ya es una señora la verdad no lo recomiendo en domingo mientras atienda jente como eya muy mal servicio y trato mal Ami hija señora grosera mal humorada“

“The food was delicious! I ordered the surf and turf!!! You get to choose as many veggies as you want. I chose mozzarella cheese. It’s so filling that I at some yesterday and finished the rest for lunch! The staff is very polite and professional!Vegetarian options: You can choose as many veggies as you want to put on your potato.“

“This locally owned restaurant is a great and low key place to find a casual meal. It is close to and therefore is popular with Northwestern students but it has a diverse mixture of students and locals with easy access to parking and CTA/L purple line station at Noyes. The wait is no long and the service is no-nonsense. Dave's Italian kitchen and D&D are also in the same area if you're looking for Pizza or a good breakfast sandwich - both are solid. Stacked & Folded dominates this Noyes niche and it's worth the trip if you want a reasonably priced and no nonsense meal.Parking: Easy parking on NoyesKid-friendliness: Booths and tables are appropriate for kids“

“Great food and service! Came here when Little Bad Wolf couldn't seat us in 400% of the time they originally stated (per usual). Great skinny spicy passion fruit margarita (I know, that's a lot), and shrimp tacos were fire! Highly recommend!“

“I work around this area and wanted something Mexican, which this area there’s some restaurants that are decent, but this place is really good the quality is the same as restaurants that you gotta go far down in Chicago passing west loop recommend it go to“

“Good spot for a meal with kiddos, particularly around lunch. Hector up front is great and very helpful getting groups with little ones settled. Our current favorites on the menu are the birria tacos, taco salad, guac and quesadillas. Nice outdoor space too.“
