“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Listen this is an amazing taco truck. I have not been a food truck fan but the pictures caught my attention. I ordered the chicken taco dinner and from the refried beans to each taco the flavors were amazing. I didn’t get a chance to try the rice because it was so much food and my husband left it out. My food looked exactly like the pictures. I was to hungry at the time to take a picture for this review but I will on my next visit. I’ll be back!“

“Our meal was delicious! Service was awesome! We will definitely be back!!“

A great atmosphere, I recommended everyone to check it out!“

I love this Mexican spot and I will continue to come. They don’t have liquor so if you’re coming to get drunk, I wouldn’t suggest. But for food. 10/10“

Sorry I didn’t even think about taking pictures but believe me it’s well worth it and the cost in my budget 2 meals $20 ?

Kid-friendliness: Fast service and very friendly“

“I've been here several times. The service is always friendly and quick. Secondly, the food is comparable or average to other Mexican restaurants. Lastly, I recommend getting anything with asada because it's tender. Overall, a nice little spot to grab lunch during work.

“I LOVE her beef soup, the broth is amazing. Dine-in, or carry out you're getting authentic Mexican food. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I don’t know why you haven’t tried here yet, is the best!!!“

“Very authentic Mexican joint. It was cozy, but the food was delicious! Idk how to describe it but I've had Mexican breakfast before from many different restaurant but this one taste best like it was homemade. It's like there was more care made in the food. Not sure if that made any sense? but all I'm saying is if you go here you will not be disappointed.

Parking: There's free street parking all around the sides of building.“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“I was at SSC for my son's graduation ceremony and was hungry, I tried to go to a birriera place down the block but they were closed. So I found this place and it exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for just some decent tacos but they were better than decent. Only problem now is, I live in Indiana, 30 minutes from here...so I'm gonna have to take a lil drive for these tacos again 😆! Carne asada, pastor and lengua tacos on homemade and regular corn tortillas were all delicious. The asada had a bit of a sweet flavor to it, I assume they might use oranges as a marinade idk, they were good either way.“

“I’m an experienced customer here there service, food, presentation of store, atmosphere / music other patrons is excellent & exceptional…. Very customer friendly always fresh food amazing taste I luv it here… They’re staff is always nice ty for serving ur community with great Mexican culture…Mica🥰“

“Had lunch here, food was pretty good. Location was previously a different "UFO" restaurant, that had since closed and re-opened as the current Mexican place. At the time I was last there, the Google Maps entry for this place hadn't updated yet, so this review was added belatedly.“

“the best mexican food in the area coupled with the friendliest staff ever! We have not had anything that isnt good.“

“Cuando entre no pense que me encantaria la comida. Pero es una de las mejores enchiladas de asada que eh comido, que hasta el plato limpie. No caen pesadas a tu estomago . Muy buena comida 🍲 Me encantaron!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good Mexican food served fast. My go-to for Tortas and Tacos.“

“This taco place is the bomb! And they have very Quick and Respectful service, personally I believe they are the best in town. Give them a Try!“

“The food here is very flavorful and authentic Mexican flavor. The menu is simple, goat birria, consomé and tacos. There are only a 4 tables to seat and eat, and if they are full, you just have to stand and wait for your turn. Very homemade meal. Recommend for those who are looking for authentic Mexican atmosphere and food.“

“Excellent food, probably one of the best Mexican food I have had. Too bad they took Fajita off the menu, but other items were just as good. I had a carnitas burrito with rice. I always love Spanish rice which is a lot more flavorful than white rice, but I normally don't like burritos as much since many of them have thick wrap especially at the ends, making them a bit too dry and heavy. But the burrito from this place was very moist, light and tasty and I totally enjoyed every single bite. My family ordered a few tacos and nachos with chicken and they also savored them! If we go to Chicago again I will definitely have meals at this place again“

“We come here all the time! The food and service is amazing.They have affordable week day specials.We went today for our anniversary and the cakes were so delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Great Service and food that is satisfying as well!“

“Once again, a great meal!! Some of the best Mexican food in the region!!“

“I've organize Taco Tuesday & Wednesday for my job....OMG, it was easy pleasy working with the staff at Taqueria Varitas, their professionalism, kindness is an understatement. Both days I ordered more than 30 different tacos and they each were individually wrap and marked, which made it so easy for me to distribute to my team. This place is a gem, the tacos are not very reasonable and not to mention DELICIOUS! Everyone can't stop raving about how good they were. I will certainly be ordering from them again very soon, in fact, it will be monthly. Taqueria Varitas, I've very grateful for you guys and thank you so very much for working with me and being so professional.“
