PureWow

Hipsters swear by this spot and they’re very serious about its perfectly seasoned steak . You can try the taco straight up with some chopped onions or throw on some creamy Chihuahua cheese . Read more

Peter McQueen

There'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 !

Chicagoist

Carne 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 Hill

Tacos 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 Gonzalez

Shrimp 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 Crump

All 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 Anaya

Red 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 Ginn

Best 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 Oakley

The 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 Feed

This 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 Osmanski

Delicious 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!

Andy Swindler

Carne asada & al pastor tacos are dynamite. Be sure to order the homemade tortillas !

Madeline Gullett

Greasy, 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

Chris Alger

Elote 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.

Jaime HW

Go for the shrimp tacos . Lightly beer battered with roasted Serrano and creamy slaw . The gringo is also amazing..carne Asada on homemade tortillas .

Serious Eats

The 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 .

Heather Folsom

Fish taco is a little spicy but delicious if you like that sort of thing! Perfect horchata & carne asada burrito .

Manoj Ambalavanan

Most of the tacos are really solid and more authentic in style. Well packed with meat, 3 was the perfect amount - oh and cash only !

Kellen Terrett

Ignore what people say about the environment. The place is a must try if you love great tacos , burritos , and tasty food.

Alvaro G

Great fish tacos , vegetarian options on all entries. Great value and awesome food. Cash only .

Paul C

Best Al Pastor (marinated pork ) I ever had and the Agua de Pepino is like glass of summertime.

Lance H

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!)

Jill

This place is delicious!! Amazing seasonings, freshly prepared! Too good not to try at least 100 times! And BYOB !

Oriana

Good lord you can't go wrong. The tacos and burritos are so heavenly it will bring tears of joy to your eyes.

Steven Vance

The 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 H

Order the Poblano Rajas taco ! Super savory, thought it was better than the fish taco and Al Pastor taco .

Cristina Barroso

Fish 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.

Lindsey Woody

Cash only . Pescado & Pastor tacos were really yummy, & so was the guacamole . Will definitely be back for more!

P S

Everything. But burritos are the bomb. Try half al pastor half chorizo .

ISAAC

ALL THE FOOD HERE IS GREAT ESPECIALLY THEIR TACO'S!!! THEIR LEMONADE IS REAL GOOD SUPER REFRESHING!!!

Zack Gilbert

Best burritos in Chicago. Normally cash only , but there’s an atm on site.

Matthew Loseke

I agree with Chad B. the fish tacos are great. If you're feeling a burrito try the chorizo , it will not disappoint.

Matt Silverman

Al pastor taco is the way to go.

Suigli Gonzalez

So much negativity.... who cares about the walls or the light!!!anyways the food is delicious. I highly recommend it ☺

Winston

Best steak tacos and burritos I've ever had. Bring cash.

Derek Wendt

Steak tacos are the best here, at a great value . Look out for special tacos !

Stephanie Blatt

The tacos are fresh and amazing and the new additional space is fantastic!

Virginia Thomas

Best Carne Asada Burrito In the City . Yup, I said it. CASH ONLY .

Omar Rodriguez

39cent for cup of whater now. What😳😳😳😳😳😳😰you. Kidding The food is ok is the great what used to be think about now to go

Sandeep Paruchuri

Authentic AF, be prepared to pay cash and smell like tacos after. Worth it.

Francisco Perez

Burrito with beef tongue . Stop making a face. Try it you'll like it.

Cynthia Colin

Try not to come when it's busy, last few times I've gotten my steak a little toooo well done. Still yummy though!

Matthew Malec

You can't go wrong here, but the carne asada is what you want.

Matty Herzberg

Veggie burrito and fish tacos are great!

Doug Steinbeck

Carne asada torta was very tasty. Will be going back to try other items.

Loren George

Mix the cantaloupe drink with the horchata 50/50 trust me. Its called "The Lorenzo".

Katherine Meyer

Go for the fish tacos . They are the best.

Alex Pyatetsky

Decent 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.

Ed Levine

You can't go wrong ordering anything!

Emily Jurlina

The steak burrito and the gringo are not to be missed.
