The market mushroom tacos ($7 for two) top a mix of cremini, shiitake , and oyster mushrooms with garlicky kale , spicy pickled jalapenos and a cilantro cream to cool it all down. Read more

PureWow

When cinnamon , honey yogurt , pink onion and mint come together in a chicken taco , the results are magically delicious. Add in the fact that this is the most adorable taco shop in town . Read more

Samantha Rangel

Every concoction that comes out of that kitchen is packed with flavor and satisfying. The rosemary margs are the bomb but continue to increase in price. I don't how much longer they'll be worth it!

Amber

Holy moly, was not prepared for these tacos to be this awesome. The carnitas = 10/10. Would love to come back, get a pile of tacos and a pitcher of margaritas and kill an afternoon on the back patio .

Claire Watkiss

Guacamole , chips , and THE ELOTE were all to die for. The classic margarita had a rosemary simple syrup in it that smoothed out the flavor perfectly. Many options for tacos as well . For sure going back

Eater

Like everything else at this Instagram-friendly taqueria , the Rosemary Margarita is pretty darn adorable. Serve in milk bottles, the cocktail combines tequila with lime , orange , and fresh rosemary . Read more

Their food is amazing! I LOVE THE ANTIQUE TACO SALAD !! With a side of guac , and my boyfriend loves the chicken burrito . One of our favorite places in Chicago.

Heather Williams

For something deliciously different, try the cumin lamb tacos . They have the perfect amount of spice and you really don't need to add salsa to them! SO good!

Marco G

Cute looking. The fish tacos have a strong smoky taste while their sides are the best thing on their menu. Try the cheese curds , empanadas , and orchata milkshake . Good place but Big Star is better.

Bommy

Cute interior and affordable . Very limited vegetarian options but if you like mushrooms , the market mushroom fajita tacos are worth a try. 2 tacos per order. Good guac .

Marcus Derencius

Mushroom tacos and coconut lemonade were simply amazing. So much flavor. Best tacos I had in a good while. #vegetarian #vegan

Chicagoist

The flavors are nowhere near traditional, but the tortillas are, and they're fresh. It's the perfect canvas for interesting flavor combinations like the sweet and spicy chicken . Read more

Redeye Chicago

This brand-new taco spot from chef Rick Ortiz and his wife Ashley, an antiques fiend who lent the interior its vintage style , hopes to give Big Star a run for its money. Read more

Amit Patel

Pork carnitas and horchata are legit. Fish , rib eye , and squash tacos are nothing to call home about. If I ever come here again I will only get carnitas and will try the chilli cheese curds .

Roxana V

Outstanding fish tacos ! Tempura batter is light - does not overpower. The fish so flavorful that my mouth is watering as I write this. Excited to try the rest of the menu.

Monica B

The shrimp tacos sound unassuming, but they are delicious!!! Such a great combination of flavors. Rosemary margarita and cheese curds get a very honorable mention. Great meal!

Nilay Gandhi

As good as Big Star but for completely different reasons. Antique Taco is the Andersonville to Big Star 's Williamsburg. The most perfect, delicious, polite, and precise taco joint in the city .

Zan Kat

The mushroom tacos and the chips with guacamole were delicious. The outdoor seating is nice for when the weather is good :)

Linda Felter

What's good here? Everything. Personally I can vouch for the rosemary margaritas , carnitas tacos , and cheese curds . Phenom.

Serious Eats

Pork Carnitas : the tamarind glaze adds an unmistakable citrus zing to each bite, making what sounds like an over-loaded and fatty taco taste somehow balanced and restrained.

Mary Alesandrini

7M, 9Z - Chips and guac are unreal. Good quick place for lunch or late night snack . Skip the market quesadilla and stick to the tacos .

Tasting Table

Hit this new café for booze-spiked agua frescas and tacos made from local ingredients--like the mushroom-kale-escabeche tacos . Don’t leave without a fresh fruit paleta or a banana-horchata milkshake : Read more

Melissa E

One order has two tacos and is enough for a meal. Split between friends if you can't decide. I loved the carnitas . Chips and guacamole was on point too

Aishwarya Sharma

LOVED their antique taco salad . Order it with your choice of tacos . You'll thank me for the tip. Food is great here along with their selection of drinks.

The poblano potato taco and elotes are amazing. The market mushroom taco is good as well & quite spicy . Great interiors. Friendly staff .

Mary Kay Hardcastle

Blackboard Eats says "The huraches pop from the brunch menu ; made with chorizo , egg , beans, queso fresco , and pickled vegetables layered on a bed of crisp, fried tortilla , this dish rules school."

Sterling Salzberg

Amazing. I think they might've made the best taco I've ever had. And the guacamole was incredible. I don't even like guac !

Madeline Gullett

I got the taco salad made vegan and loved it! Also the guacamole and margaritas were awesome. So cute inside!!

Kristen Moran

The sweet & spicy chicken tacos are awesome, definitely emphasis on the spicy part. Really fresh jalapeños . And if you don't get the chili cheese curds , you're missing out!

Christine T.

I love the pork carnitas . Also, be sure to try their featured agua fresca ; they're delicious and really refreshing.

Molly E

Tacos are good sized and come in sets of two. Better to grab a friend and go so you can try different types. Horchata milkshake is excellent!

Lanny Fiorillo

Great smoky fish taco and the crab and shrimp flair as were excellent. Check out their happy hours ! Also great zero waste spot!

Sabina Kajtezovic

Carnitas tacos are to die for. Margarita strong and served in a glass pitcher with fresh rosemary . More pricey , but worth it.

Matt Dicker

You can only order tacos in pairs, but if you're in need of an odd number of tacos , order a delicious single taco off the children's menu.

Josh Scianna

Part of the hipster taco trifecta with Big Star and Takito Kitchen. Highly recommend the empanadas and the cheese curds .

Eva Richardson

Very nice ambiance, nice crowd of people. Fish tacos are great, did not care to much for the cheese curds . However, I am excited to try everything on the menu.

Gabriel Dwyer

The grilled ribeye taco was the bomb! Just the right amount of juicy and savory!

Adam

Nice variety of tacos , excellent guacamole , tasty margaritas . The enchiladas are very smoky tasting, so be aware!

Adam Hickey

The pork carnitas tacos are some of the best I've ever had. Know that each order comes with two tacos .

Anna Bernasconi

Tacos and guacamole are really good.Unfortunately only one won't fill you up :( beer is brewed in Chicago. Interesting, but expensive (one can 5$). Fast service ! Good spot after all.

Manoj Ambalavanan

Good sized tacos and 3 of them left me satisfied and full. Steak one was my favorite. Way better than that bakersfield garbage

Heather Folsom

I pretty much need to delete all previous fish taco tips bc they aren't even in the same universe as these. Eat here now. Also, chili cheese curds .

Kate

Everything is delicious, but the rosemary margaritas and the fried chili cheese curds are standouts

Lukas Carvajal

I've been to a ton a of taco places in Chicago because I love tacos . This is one of my favorites.

Jen Marquez Ginn

Horchata milkshake is awesome. All the taco options are great. Would most definitely come again.

Nikki Zimmermann

Fish Tempura tacos were the bomb! Best fish taco in Chicagoland!

Mike Morrell

I highly recommend the Mushroom and Fish Tempura Tacos . We also had a quart of the Margaritas ...yeah that was awesome too.

Chris Shackleton

As good as its far more crowded neighbor Big Star . Love the margarita , steak tacos , habanero popcorn , and the chips and salsa .

Bobby Kennedy

Both the Mushroom and Pork Carnitas tacos are amazing. Pairs great with the rosemary margaritas .

Jennifer Newham

Ribeye tacos , house Rosemary margaritas , homemade guac & chips
