32 Best Taco Restaurants near Northlake

“The food here at least for the carnitas, are hands down the best, i live near the ORD airport and used to drive down all the way down to the southside for some good carnitas. Thank goodness, I no longer have to since finding this gem of a restaurant. Another indication that this place is great is because it always has customers, never empty. Oh, and their champurado is da bomb! I haven't tried other stuff on their menu like tacos, flautas, etc. But I can vouch for the carnitas. staff is also friendly and very clean.“

“Had 3 carnitas bravas tacos. They were super good. Tortillas are home made, yeah they're not the cheapest tacos but honestly the price of the tacos is worth the portion that you get. Tacos are bigger than what you would get at other places, you're paying 6 bucks but it's basically the same size as 2 tacos.“

“I must say that the food was very delicious, the service from Daniel was excellent, the quesabirrias are delicious, and the micheladas are on point, I highly recommend this place and I hope to return soon, every time I come on a trip to Chicago this is my place favorite.“

“We were very impressed with the service and the food. We ordered 80 tacos, chips, salsa and beverages. When we got to the meeting they were still hot. Everything was neatly done. The whole team really enjoyed the lunch. We will definely order from Authentic Taco again.“

“I am an avid eater!!, yes and I have been comparing this place and it’s simply great. The place is clean, food is very good and authentic and most of the family works. Only concern is that the place is small and it gets crowded on weekends.“

“Nice little neighborhood place. The hours are odd so you have to check if they are open. I think they close mon-wed. I found this place looking for queso birria tacos. For $15 you get 4 decent sized tacos with the consommé. Great meaty tacos, I'm a big guy and I usually could knock out 8-10 tacos. I could only eat 6 here. The guacamole was big enough for me and my buddy. They have a juice bar inside and we ordered off of the server's recommendation. She recommended a pineapple drink and it was solid. We ended up getting a second order of drinks for the road. They don't have parking but you should be able to find something across the street. Place is clean and the cook wore gloves. I appreciate when a place is clean and people are wearing gloves. The waitress/server was very helpful and had great recommendations. She was easy to talk to since I don't speak Spanish. There was a bunch of online orders and takeout which in my opinion is good. That means there's no old food, they sell it all and buy fresh. Bathrooms were clean. I noticed the table next to me ordered a latte and seen they had an espresso machine. I haven't tried the coffee so I can't talk about the quality. Just that they have an espresso machine. I like this place a lot. Very friendly staff, great food and great amount of food for the price. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you.“

“The Challah French toast is AMAZING! We loved everything we ordered. I’m only taking away 1 star because the coffee was pretty terrible. When your food is next level, please serve coffee that is up to your clearly incredibly high standards! Intelligentsia? Metropolis? We have so many great local choices! But, overall, fantastic experience! We’ll be back!“

“Food was okay, atmosphere is cool, and the service was great. The food wasn't as flavorful as the other Mexican restaurants I'm used to from around the area. I had the pollo tacos and shared a platter of the nachos. Both were just okay - nothing to rave about. The restaurant itself is clean. Reminded us of a diner! The staff were also super kind and helpful, which is awesome. This hasn't replaced my go-to Mexican restaurant in the area, but I'd still visit again to try something else on the menu!“

“This is another great family owned and operated buisness. They have a wide variety of specialty sandwiches. They offer variety of dinner options. I haven't used the catering before but I'm sure these guys are good at it. The restaurant is a hidden gem and need to look for it a little. It's clean and didn't see any signs of insects, etc....The specialize in Mexican food but as I said they have multiple specialty dinners that are not Mexican. I personally ordered a patty melt to see how they tasted, and it was great. Please support family owned businesses. I think corporate will do fine. ENJOY!!!!Parking: Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: It's ADA compliant.“

“This place is legit! I’ve been meaning to try this little taco shop since I can walk to it - yesterday I finally did and wow! Surprised me at how great the food was and will definitely be back again.The inside is small but can seat a few folks but it’s the tables outside that make for a great spot to enjoy some tasty food with friends. Make sure to grab a horchata too! So yummy!“

“I absolutely love Big Rigs! From their food truck to their restaurant, their food is always so delicious. My go to is always a Quesadilla de Alpastor (tortilla hecha a mano). They’re a pretty decent size, I get full with just one ? definitely always recommend this place to people ?“

“Really good, cheap. Burgers used to be really good. Last couple of times I ordered the double burger the meat was really dry. I’m not sure what’s going on with that but the Italian beef and the fries are really good for a great price. ?“

“I never write reviews but this one was warranted. The service here was excellent and the turnaround was fast but the Carnitas were outstanding!!! My husband had a gordita de asada and it was exceptional. We'll be coming back for the Pozole on Saturday!! Highly recommended this place.“

“Very unassuming place. I just walked in randomly and had their steak burrito and a few tacos - food was excellent, very generous portions, great prices, and super clean. So glad to come here afterwards and see it has so many good reviews. Very well deserved!Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“Regular price and size tacos al pastor are really good. On Monday and Tuesday tacos are supposed to be 1 dollar but if you don't ask they won't tell. Why would you advertise that in social media if you don't offer it to your customers and instead just give them regular tacos and when customer ask, you say that you need to ask for those ? ? If you opt for the special taco be aware that you would get 80% tortilla and 10% grease scraps.“

“Go for it!!I finally got a chance to eat at Big Rig Taco ?, I didn't get the Taco but I did try the steak burrito ? ?It's definitely worth a try if you're looking to try a great food truck while you're out and about.****It's cash only****But it's a food truck so...?“

“A cute little spot we heard about from TikTok. The lady who took our order was very sweet and welcoming. We got the quesa Birria combo and ribeye burrito. The meat was well flavored. We loved the fresh salsas. Finally some flavor in the west burbs!“

“Great place to eat, the food is very delicious and the prices are phenomenal.One plate was enough to fill me up for lunch and have dinner as well. They have very friendly staff and have good music.Only thing to be aware of is that they have no parking lot so be on the lookout not to park on the lot next to them as that belongs to just tires and you will be towed.Muy Buena comida con precios excellentes y las porsiones son muy generosas.Los trabajadores son muy amables y tienen muy bonita Musica.No tienen lote de estacionamiento asi que no se vallan a estacionar en el lote de just tires porque pueden pedir que la grua se lleve su carro.Parking: Parking must be on the street only“

“Loved the music, decoration, and food. Got the asada tacos with avocado and cheese and loved it. As well as the horchata was lovely. I would come back and recommend others to try!Parking: At least 20 spotsKid-friendliness: Has a kid menu and lots of kid options for drinksWheelchair accessibility: The entrance has no stairs and has wheelchair accessible parking“

“I was a bit skeptical at the beginning as I got there in the middle of the afternoon. Once the tacos came and I took a bite I was hooked.Yes the tacos are $5 but they are LOADED. I had the chicken Al Pastor and the steak. Both insanely good. The staff is nice and the vibe is chill. If you are in Oak Park and have a taco craving head there. You won’t be disappointed.“

“This is a Chicago style restaurant. You go in you order at the counter and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. They have a very large menu with a little something for everyone. The prices are fair and the food is tasty. They offer bottled beers as well as some Mexican drinks. There is usually some sort of sport game playing on the large TV. They also have a separate gambling room. I have been here numerous times and try something different to eat each time. Overall, it's a nice place to stop and grab a quick bite to eat. The atmosphere is just a place to eat with customers ranging from people of all backgrounds. If you are in the area and need a quick bite this is a good place to go eat.“

“The carne asada burrito satisfied that craving I had. I usually get the tacos but I might be sold on the burrito. I liked the filling and it had excellent flavor.Everyone was friendly and able to joke around while being professional and accommodating. The service was top notch during the busy dinner rush.This is probably my favorite place in the area to grab a quick taco or burrito.“

“Have ordered from Taco Jerez twice now and both times the food has been delicious. we have had many of the menu items and enjoyed all of them never been disappointment. There are many Mexican restaurants in the area but Taco Jerez is definitely the best.“

“Yum! I stopped for the first time yesterday and HAD to stop again later in the day to get lunch for my partner. It was so good! Convenient and delicious, no waiting. And the fact there is park picnic tables right by is awesome! Cash or Zelle only. Friendly and very nice folks. I'll be back soon! Thank you!!!“

“From discada platillos to quesacoa catering orders, I've never been disappointed! It's now a family holiday tradition & our last minute catering go to spot. Fast response time & when you ask for a certain time to pick up your food, it'll be ready! Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu soon.“

“Good quality pub fare. Warm and family friendly with a nice bar. Service can be a little rough, but it's friendly and they've trying. Great rooftop when the weather's nice.Kid-friendliness: Always plenty of families with children“

“This was my first time here since it was La Palapita years ago, and I'm so glad that I went. This is super close to work, and we decided to go check it out for lunch. We were all really happy that we did. It's a very cool place inside and out, and the colors and wall art inside are vivid and it has this great vibe about it. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed their outside dining space as well. The food was amazing too! The menu is pretty extensive so it was hard to choose, but I went with the al pastor burrito. When I tell you I was happy I went with the regular and not the super I mean as big as the regular was I have no idea how anyone can put away the super. I had a hard time with that and I can eat, but I couldn't stop eating because it was so delicious! We got two orders of chops and salsa on the house with two different salsas, both good but the roja had some real kick to it. Two others had the sopes and said they were very good and piled high, and the others had a torta and nachos also huge portions. The guy at the counter was very friendly and was quick with the ordering and our food came out quick and hot. Another employee came outside and helped us put two tables together so we had extra room. I will go back here for sure. Fantastic food in the area and a great atmosphere too, so it's a no brainer.“

“First walking in my boyfriend and I were skeptical because the restaurant was empty but our experience with the food was fantastic. My boyfriend got the steak chilaquiles and they were phenomenal and I got the chicken and waffles which were crispy and flavorful. The Bloody Mary was a hit and the only thing we ordered that was lacking was the vanilla latte. I would recommend to friends and go back.“

“I came to town from Arkansas to visit family, it is Cinco de Mayo so you must have tacos! My brother recommended this location. The food was awesome, the service was fabulous, the staff were friendly. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.“
