Peter McQueenMarch 15, 2015There's a lot to like but you can't go wrong with a carne asada burrito. If you're getting a taco make sure to ask for the homemade tortilla. My favorite is the fish taco. And don't forget the salsa!
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Carne asada and fried tilapia are cooked to perfection. Vegetarian burrito fillings vary daily, everything from sweet potatoes to garlic roasted corn, in addition to a poblano rajas option. Read more
Zak HillJune 1, 2017Tacos al pastor (along with the other three kinds we tried) were excellent! The food is inexpensive and high quality and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely returning here
M GonzalezMarch 3, 2018Shrimp taco was good, chicken tacos were a little on the dry side, but the salsa was flavorful enough to make up for it. Not the best I’ve ever had but definitely worth trying & good for the price.
Tessamaria CrumpAugust 16, 2015All the tacos are amazing. Best steak tacos I've ever had. Big juicy chunks of steak. Tried lengua for the first time and loved it. The tacos al pastor are fucking killer. These tacos are juicy.
Ruby AnayaJune 5, 2024Red salsa is much spicier 🌶️ than green salsa. Both delicious 😋 Cash only. Big bag of chips that came with guac could have fed a family of four
Jen Marquez GinnJune 29, 2015Best tacos I have ever had in the city, bar none. Great vegetarian options. Horchata is to die for. Guacamole is on point. Order everything. You'll hurt, but it'll be worth it.
Kryzco OakleyDecember 5, 2014The steak is something to tell your friends about and the affordable prices. Plus they serve elotes! Everyone I took there <3d it and I'm sure you will too! Worth every penny and the line was not bad
Chefs FeedApril 15, 2016This taco spot is run by a guy who used to work at Frontera Grill. They do a few tortas and burritos, but their tacos are super solid. The fish tacos are easily the best in town. Read more
Angie OsmanskiJune 24, 2015Delicious authentic food at great prices! Love the guacamole, carna asada burrito is very good quality 1/2 is plenty but I couldn't stop eatin because it was SO good!- Carne asada & al pastor tacos are dynamite. Be sure to order the homemade tortillas!
Madeline GullettMarch 8, 2016Greasy, unhealthy Mexican food. But they were really accommodating by making sure my burrito was dairy free! My vegan pepper burrito was so yummy! Super casual
Serious EatsFebruary 14, 2013The carne asada is extra beefy but surprisingly greaseless. It stands out as something of an instant classic, and a serious contender for best in the city.- Jaime HWJanuary 3, 2015Go for the shrimp tacos. Lightly beer battered with roasted Serrano and creamy slaw. The gringo is also amazing..carne Asada on homemade tortillas.
Chris AlgerJune 28, 2016Elote is a must! Guacamole so so good. Never had a bad dish. Be prepared to wait in line - we had to wait about 30 minutes total time.- Heather FolsomDecember 2, 2014Fish taco is a little spicy but delicious if you like that sort of thing! Perfect horchata & carne asada burrito.
Kellen TerrettAugust 10, 2014Ignore what people say about the environment. The place is a must try if you love great tacos, burritos, and tasty food.
Manoj AmbalavananNovember 23, 2021Most of the tacos are really solid and more authentic in style. Well packed with meat, 3 was the perfect amount - oh and cash only!- Alvaro GFebruary 20, 2014Great fish tacos, vegetarian options on all entries. Great value and awesome food. Cash only.
Paul CJanuary 17, 2013Best Al Pastor (marinated pork) I ever had and the Agua de Pepino is like glass of summertime.
Seriously some of the best tacos I've ever had. Get the pork taco with a side of elote (the most delicious corn in all the land!)
JillJuly 6, 2015This place is delicious!! Amazing seasonings, freshly prepared! Too good not to try at least 100 times! And BYOB!
Good lord you can't go wrong. The tacos and burritos are so heavenly it will bring tears of joy to your eyes.
Steven VanceAugust 26, 2013The burritos have fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and large cuts of steak. This is almost unheard of for a $5.50 burrito and taquerias in Chicago.
Steph HAugust 13, 2015Order the Poblano Rajas taco! Super savory, thought it was better than the fish taco and Al Pastor taco.
Lindsey WoodyAugust 4, 2013Cash only. Pescado & Pastor tacos were really yummy, & so was the guacamole. Will definitely be back for more!
Cristina BarrosoJuly 15, 2013Fish Tacos were ok, the other tacos not so great ( al pastor, pollo). Carne adada was pretty decent. I don't think of this place as the most authentic, but when you're hungry everything is good.
ALL THE FOOD HERE IS GREAT ESPECIALLY THEIR TACO'S!!! THEIR LEMONADE IS REAL GOOD SUPER REFRESHING!!!
Best burritos in Chicago. Normally cash only, but there’s an atm on site.
I agree with Chad B. the fish tacos are great. If you're feeling a burrito try the chorizo, it will not disappoint.
Suigli GonzalezFebruary 3, 2013So much negativity.... who cares about the walls or the light!!!anyways the food is delicious. I highly recommend it ☺
Omar RodriguezNovember 25, 201939cent for cup of whater now. What😳😳😳😳😳😳😰you. Kidding The food is ok is the great what used to be think about now to go
The tacos are fresh and amazing and the new additional space is fantastic!- Derek WendtAugust 11, 2014Steak tacos are the best here, at a great value. Look out for special tacos!
Best Carne Asada Burrito In the City. Yup, I said it. CASH ONLY.
Sandeep ParuchuriAugust 10, 2018Authentic AF, be prepared to pay cash and smell like tacos after. Worth it.
Cynthia ColinSeptember 2, 2015Try not to come when it's busy, last few times I've gotten my steak a little toooo well done. Still yummy though!
You can't go wrong here, but the carne asada is what you want.
Loren GeorgeAugust 22, 2014Mix the cantaloupe drink with the horchata 50/50 trust me. Its called "The Lorenzo".- Carne asada torta was very tasty. Will be going back to try other items.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 26, 2018Decent neighborhood spot, but not worthy of the rave reviews here. girls upfront are very nice, but flavors are nothing special and meat often over done. Guac is good.
