This restaurant is way too expensive for the area it is in. I just paid $11.49 for a burrito with one sauce to go. The meat is not of high-quality, and the service is poor will not be coming back.

This place is still good, but prices have shot up 33%+ and the portion I received today felt about 15% smaller. I can understand paying more if you're at a sit down restaurant, but this is largely a take out place and doesn't warrant such a high price increase. The prices in their board ($11 for a huarache) are not reflected with what they're ringing you up for - $16 w/ tax - which feels very disingenuous. I think such a high price increase will severely reduce their clientele or at least limit their return visits. I know my family and I won't be able to come here as often as we used to. The owner should have done their homework regarding the price elasticity of a take out meal. According to USDA "The price-elasticity of demand for restaurant meals is about 2.3, or very elastic. (That means that if the price of a restaurant meal changes by 1%, the quantity of restaurant meals sold would drop about 2.3%.)" This loss in the number of meals purchased can be made up by the higher prices, but restaurants like Taco Sabroso thrive on repeat, local customers, and without any incentive to go there outside of their food, there's not a real reason to pay such a high price when you can instead pay the same price for a much nicer sit down experience.

Good tacos overall. The asada was very tender, but it could use a bit more seasoning. I also tried the al pastor, and they were spot on. I definitely will return and try other options.

Tried out the restaurant for the first time since I moved to the area (10 yrs) & I wasn't pleased. Ordered asada tacos & asada burrito. The meat was okay. I could taste the seasoning, but it lacked salt & bit more flavor. Tacos were average, nothing memorable. The burrito was on a diet if I compare them to what other Mexican restaurants sell, which were my expectations. I would expect a bit more filling for a $10 burrito. The salsa was really good though, but I don't think I'll visit this place anytime soon just for the salsa. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food as it wasn't what I expected. I don't plan on returning.

Once in a while I order food from here. Let’s just say their food is splendid and delicious. As a Hispanic person their burritos Al pastor are very good, and especially the gorditas. I usually get burritos or gorditas but I know that their rest of their food and beverages are yummy. I recommend and make sure to get salsa and the jalapeno carrot bag because it adds a lot of flavor.

Delicious tacos! So tasty. The chicken tacos are seasoned and savory. The beef tacos are tender and juicy. Rice n beans are on point as well. Some of the best authentic taqueria tacos on the south side of Chicago. But be sure to hit the atm first because they only accept cash.

This place has very good tacos. It is always very busy here. In summer, you can eat in their makeshift inclosed patio. It's not a place to eat in winter. Food is definitely worth it.

They can take your money in English, you ask a question about a price. Then they all stare at you!! And speak in their native language. I have been coming here since 2014. I WILL NOT BE BACK!!!!

Steak tacos were a major letdown! The meat was so chewy and lacked any seasoning. The tortillas were oily and the toppings were bland. I was really hoping for a flavorful and juicy bite, but sadly, it didn't deliver. The green salsa was half water! The prices are way to high for their quality.

Came here on a Tuesday evening ordered six chicken tacos with cilantro and onions & an order of guacamole. The chicken tacos were amazing & the guacamole was great texture, & decent taste.I actually added more seasonings once I arrived at home. I will definitely be back. Try it for yourself you’ll thank me later.Your girl Sunshine,From Let’s Do it Crew Tours
