“Great food, authentic flavours and cheap prices. Portions are big and lots of options”
“Amazing authentic tacos and beverages. Will be back next time I am in Chicago.”
“Flaco’s Tacos is a solid happy hour stop. The $7 margarita flight is a fun deal, and the $2 tacos and $4 burritos make it easy to try a few things without spending much. The tacos were a little soggy, but at that price it’s hard to complain too much. Overall, a great value if you’re looking for an affordable bite and a drink after work.”
“Don’t miss the happy hour for $7 margarita flights! My girlfriend and I had a blast at this hidden gem in Chicago.”

“This place has a Happy Hour that will seriously make you happy. Dinner and a flight of margaritas for under $20 is unheard of 💃🏽🪇. The Barbacoa tacos were so tender and full of flavor. The choices of margaritas- excellent! If I lived in Chicago this would be my Monday- Friday spot”
