“Yeah it's not the most accurate location, most of the time we are missing at least one item or one item is wrong. We've made a habit of checking the bag for item count before fully leaving the parking lot. But! It's still classic Taco Bell, one of my favorite nostalgia places growing up. I'll always be a fan of the TB.“
“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.“
“The food was delicious, my husband loved the burritos and the slaw.Also, I don't know the name of the person who served us today. But there were quite a few people and he was alone, with one person in the kitchen, he still kindly served us all, thank you very much for that.“
“This is my second time eating here.The first time was dine in and the second time was take out. The waiter was really nice. I had the shrimp taco dinner and My friend had the Steak taco dinner. They tacos were fire. They were also a nice size, wasn’t stingy with the meat and reasonably priced. The rice and chips and salsa were also good. I would definitely recommend“
“The Quesobirria was super delicious. The tortillas are literally handmade and fresh to order. I was impressed how attentive the staff was. Came with a couple of friends from out of town and I definitely think this place nailed a super delicious quesobirria. I will definitely come back. Found my new spot for birria!“
“As a vegan myself, this place has the best vegan tacos I've ever had! Service was very quick too without sacrificing quality, in addition feels "light" in a good way without all the heavy grease and salt. It's hard finding vegan restaurants with large vegan menu options, including desserts like cake and brownie dessserts that taste so good like "regular" cake/brownies, so this place has it all! Also love how close this restaurant is walking distance to my home, so I'll definitely be a repeat customer!“
“I wish I had pictures but the food looked so delicious we just jumped right in; we weren't wrong. We recently moved from the city to Elmhurst and were looking for tacos that could live up to our neighborhood taco guys and we are glad to have found taco villa. Their al pastor is sweet and spicy, just perfection. We also tried the asada and it was good but the al pastor is the way to go. Can't wait to visit again and try some tortas!!“
“I've been a loyal customer of Tamales Norma for years, and they never cease to amaze me. Whether it's the traditional pork tamales or the creative vegetarian options, each one is consistently delicious. It's no wonder they have such a stellar reputation!“
“This is my partner and I’d favorite place. We love the food and we love Paco (the owner). His creations are a stellar reimagining of the traditional Mexican dishes that we all love.All the dishes are not only Paco’s artworks, they come from love.Will always be this restaurant’s biggest.“
“I stopped by to try out the pozole. I was prepared to be disappointed as I have been with most restaurant pozole. The bar is pretty high as I have a friend that makes it best homemade. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. The broth was not rushed which resulted in such rich flavors. Every spoonful was filled with meat and hominy as well thanks to the generous servings in the soup. The taste reflects the patience and love that it was made with. The price point was pretty amazing as well. I will undoubtedly come back for more.“
“I found out I had to host Christmas days before the 25th. I can't describe how friendly, helpful and extremely serviceable they were with me placing a catering order only 2 days from Christmas. Since I needed for the 25th, they opened specifically for my order.....Wow!! The service was phenomenal the food was exceptional!! Truly blessed to have them in the neighborhood! Puerto Rican rice, tostones. lechon, ham and potato salad enough for the entire family (25 people) with left overs for the next day. Thank you doesn't seem enough for the owners. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and service. BTW......pistachio coquito......amazing!!!“
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We love the food here. No matter what he have ordered - IT'S SO GOOD. You can tell from the food that the owner LOVES TO COOK. He has meals off menu that he likes to offer because he tries new things. The love of cooking is in everything he does. The service has always been really good, no matter who we get. This is our go to place quite often.“
“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.“
“Such an authentic gem in Oak Park. Vincente Fernandez is playing on the tv. I ordered the cafe de la olla, which I haven't had in forever and was such a delicious comfort to drink on a cold morning. My friends ordered the green chilaquiles and tried the Diablo sauce, which lived up to its name. All were delicious but next time I want to try just a regular order of Rojas chilaquiles. The line was out the door mid morning on a Sunday but the wait was worth it. It's pretty clean here but packed on the regular. Definitely recommend.“
“This place could easily be passed by, it doesn’t look like the quality food and excellent service establishment that it is. The workers could not be nicer or more efficient, and the food, OMG the food is AMAZING! Highly recommended and cannot wait to go back. Oh yes - their tortilla chips are a must taste!Dietary restrictions: The vegan tacos!????Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible and they had the table set up to accommodate our guest in a wheelchair before we arrived.“
“First time trying this tonight. Best tacos in the Western Suburbs. Everything was amazing and the service was above and beyond. They really want their customers to have a great food experience. Definitely worth stopping by for lunch or dinner.“
“We ate there a few weeks ago for the first time. Its delicious, the people are super great and since we are working nearby we have been back multiple times its so good. We had Tacos, Birritos, Birria ramen and sopas...ALL delicious to perfection!“
“Food is so so fresh and the restaurant is so clean! I could tell they really care about giving a quality experience.I feel like the food tastes like a home cooked meal but better.Vegetarian options: Anything can be edited. They are flexible with dietary restrictionsKid-friendliness: Just a wholesome family environment“
“Had to try the Pizza Birria! It was amazing would definitely go again to eat it. The Birria Fries ehh not the greatest, fries were pretty hard a little cold. But they were to go order so will give them another try for Dine-In. Overall recommend this place. ??“
“This place is amazing!!! The food is delicious, Los tacos de asada están riquísimos!! Not to mention seeing Lulu is always great ? highly recommend this place, can’t wait to go back. Oh and please try Lulus coffee it’s absolutely delicious ?“
“Can't say enough about this wonderful place. The food is some of the best even against the great Mexican food in Chicago. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love that exists. Drinks are some of the best I've had and the creativity is second to none. My wife and I really enjoy coming here trust me, when you're here you're family. Gracias“
“I've been here many times now, and love it!! It's busy most weekends and holidays and nights tbh, lol. So expect a bit of a wait, sometimes. It's worth it. Besides you can walk up the street and have a quick beer at Orange and Brew or Emmett's Brewing Co. while you're on their waiting list. It's just a short walk; get that 5 minute walk in for beer and food!! Enjoy and cheers!“
“Best tamales in town . I don't know what this Karen underneath me is talking about. The strawberry tamales are fire. As well as the rest of them. Everything on the menu won't disappoint. Hard working people. Don't be a hater “
“This was a great place for authentic Mexican food. I rate restaurants not on how fancy they are but on several factors. It starts with chips and salsa, then basic items like tacos (steak/al pastor), then enchiladas. I had tacos (steak, pastor and chile relleno). All were great. Of course service and cleanliness is essential. I highly recommend this place.“
“The looks of the restaurant is down home Cafe style. Nothing fancy or over decorated. It has an extensive menu. The food we ordered was great! Our dishes were definitely reminiscent of Mexico. The service was great. Couldn't ask for a better server. It's a little high on cost, but its genuine. Definitely will be going back.“
“We live about 45 minutes away but the food is worth the drive. My husband had the steak burrito and I had the shrimp tacos and cocount horchata. Everyone there is so nice and the food is cooked fresh. My husband and I decided this is our new date night spot.“
“Wish I could give service a 6/5. Food was out in 5 minutes and the woman running the front was above and beyond accommodating allergies. The food was so good I forgot I was ordering Mexican food in the midwest. Parking was an issue but thats the only complaint.Dietary restrictions: Very nice and accommodating. Cannot recommend it enough.“
“Nice little spot. Service is superb. Tocos are small but they are flavorful. The Gordita with chicharrón prensado, simply amazing. This is a must have if you come here. Everything is also very affordable. Will most definitely be back for more of that chicharrón prensado!“
“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!“
“This resturant is an absolute gem! The cocktail list is impressive and delicious. There are multiple, delicious craft Mexican-inspired cocktails. If you like spicy, be sure to select something with the homemade jalapeño simple syrup! The food was excellent. It is no exaggeration when I state that I had the BEST ground beef taco I have ever had. The al pastor taco and guacamole were delicious as well. Locals, we need to keep this place open. This family-owned and run resturant is a wonderful addition to our community!“
“The food is outstanding! People that I know live pretty far from here. Come here for the food.The only drawback is definitely to find out when they're open. Cause they do have small open hours. But other than that, the flavor and freshness omg yum ?“
“I haven't had food with such sabor (flavor) in so long that wasn't cooked at home. Not salty at all. Great service. I'm definitely going back. Ordered the yuca rellenas, papa rellenas, Pollo encebollado, and the lechon. We were surprised with toasted French bread with homemade guava butter!!!!!“
“I will definitely come back for the carne asada torta that tasted charboiled with the soft bun. Also, the warm and soft lengua tacos with the green salsa. They pack the tacos with lots of meat and 2 tortillas each. Horchata tasted homemade with a fine grain and obvious cinnamon flavor. Overall, everything was well made and flavored.“
“Great time! We had a group of six. They have a round table in the corner which is perfect. You can enjoy the live entertainment and still have a conversation. Everyone loved their food and the top shelf margarita pitchers were delish. The server and owner were attentive making sure we enjoyed our experience.“
“Anytime I'm in this area I stop in to eat. Never been disappointed. The food is always good fresh and hot. Great service and the ambiance is pleasant. This is one of few restaurants that still gives complementary chips and salsa Thanks Poncitlan. Keep up the good work“
“What can I say, I don't know how to explain it ?? It was too delicious and they are very big and the sauce is very delicious I ordered half roast and half pastor and a horchata water very delicious also the kindness of the cashier machetes very nice very kind thank you ? come on and enjoy a machete here in Chicago machete A and like my photos“
“This is by far the best burrito I have ever had in my life! It is the juiciest, tastiest, and freshest ingredients that I've had in a burrito, and I'm so happy that the location came back in Summit, IL. If I could rate it ten stars I would.“
“5 of 5 I got lunch in Bensenville I saw this on Instagram Chalupas and cenitas Chalupas homemade tortillas red & green salsa onions and quesi fresco delicious I also ordered the cemita especial with homemade Chipotles I miss the papalo on it Was huge. I eat 1/2, and I take the other half home I will be back soon to try the molcajete The staff and service on point Thanks, see you soon again This restaurant is located in the plaza in the corner next to the dollar tree“
“HOLY COW, this is a hidden treasure of a food spot in Oak Lawn! The atmosphere of the store is amazing and cozy. Great menu selection and the food is out of this world! I ordered the Chicken Burrito Suizo and a mango Fresca and everything is made fresh and truly made with love and passion!! The rice and beans were some of the best I’ve ever had too! Great job and will be back over and over again!!“
“Nice little counter serve restaurant in downtown Lombard with a cute interior and friendly folks behind the counter. We dropped in for vegan nachos and margaritas. The vegan cheese and chorizo were on point. We'll come back soon and hopefully get to enjoy the patio, too!“
“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.“
“After googling many places in our area my husband found this place to get us some Quesabirrias. And my husband and son went to order some dinner. They were on point very good the meat was tender and it was not greasy. The consume was perfect for dipping. Everything was hot. The dinner comes with three and some rice and refried beans. The tamales were very good and moist not dry.Overall the place was great and the food was excellent, we found a new taco joint to go to. I usually love to add photos. Sorry but this time the food was gone so next time I’ll post pictures of the food.“
“We drove all the day from Des Moines just to try the birria and we were not disappointed it was the best birria we have ever tried ! Their service was amazing they made us feel at home. We are definitely driving back to Chicago just to eat here again !“
“I'm from Central Illinois but do quite a bit of traveling and have been searching for the type of birria I have eaten in both Mexico and on the west coast. Every place before has left me wanting, searching for the angel that is true birria and consume. This place totally delivered. The meat was so incredible tender, the onions adding a bit of crunch, and the consume was not only full flavor (and the perfect level of heat) but had that distinct mouthfeel I've been looking for.If you're looking for great authentic Mexican food you have got to try this place. I seriously don't remember the last time something was so good I was compelled to leave a review.“
“Whats up fellow taqueros, this is your faithful TacoLoco her to review TTS. This hidden gem is legit. Nice, clean, bright and with great service.But who cares about that! Let's get down to why we came here.I ordered the taco dinner and a Diet Coke. If I'd know it was BYOB, I would have picked up 2 taco degenerates and a 12 Pk of Modelos and had a run at it.The meal was $19, but we'll worth it.The rice was fresh and well balanced. The flavor was authentic and the grains were perfectly cooked.The beans were AMAZING!I had them mix my dinner with one steak, pastor and carnitas. The steak was thin sliced and tasty but would have been better if it was flame grilled, but not bad! The Pastor was great! Light but tally and with real chunks of pineapple. Yes, pineapple.If you know, you know. The carnitas stole the show. They were fresh, lean and moist. Yeah, I said it - Moist! The salsa'a were full of flavor but medium hot. I like scorching lava hot, but these 2 were good.All in all, great place to eat. If you ever need a TD (Taco Degenerate) for company when coming here, 'put me in Coach!'“
“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 ?“
“Porkito is such a great addition to the neighborhood! Finally something different AND delicious. After seeing the restaurants post that was shared in our Community Facebook page, we decided to give this place a try! As a family who does not eat out often, we typically stick to what we know but couldn't pass up the opportunity to try something new. We decided to get takeout and went with two orders of the sliders with all different options so that we could try [almost] the entire menu of sandwich options in one fell swoop. The only two flavors we have not tried yet are the Cubano and the Big Green but out of what we had, there was not one that we did not like! Our personal favorites were the Hawaiian and Buffy with the Sauzee and Jammy following close behind. We also got our kiddos the Tater tots which were perfectly crisp and flavorful and for ourselves, the loaded tots. Everything was delicious with no complaints! Fortunately, us straying away from the regular few places we frequent was a success and we will happily add Porkito to that very small list. We plan to actually eat in the restaurant sometime soon so that we can try it fresh and have the full experience without the delay of driving it home and letting things sit for too long... But even still.. We really enjoyed everything!“
“I've tried many of the tacos and they are all great. The Pescado is small for the price compared to others in the area. This is the first queso fundido I have found in years. I love it. Definitely on my order again. Taco prices are right where I like them. The service is great. They are very attentive. My water stayed full. This decor seemed authentic. I'm happy to have an affordable Mexican restaurant in the area.“
“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“
“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. I've been a consistent customer for the last 7 years at least. Any time someone recommends we go out to lunch to a different Mexican place, I'm immediately disappointed, because I know it's not going to be as good. The pastor meat is my favorite - on the burritos especially. Highly recommend.“
