Asian Cuisine Express — straightforward mexican in Little Village. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to. Service that's warm without being over the top. Nickolas Demertzis: "The Al pastor was well seasoned, had a great crust and was covered with cilantro, onion and fresh pineapple"

I Order for pick up they told me 30 mins . Show up there and they told me it still wasn’t ready .
Call in for an order once. I tried calling The restaurant but the calls weren’t going through.
We had called and ask if they do delivery and they said yes so we’re waiting for a good time pass and it’s been an hour and no food.

Saw the restaurant all over social media stating this Asian restaurant has the best Al pastor tacos and fried rice. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing, Al pastor trompos at a Chinese restaurant? BELIEVE IT!! I went & had the best time. The food was so well done both cuisines!! Friendly staff & they were so busy!! People waiting 2hrs for a table. Well deserved recognition.

“Really some of the best Tacos Al Pastor I’ve ever had.”
Really some of the best Tacos Al Pastor I’ve ever had! Absolutely amazing! Will be retiring asap to try some of their other menu items especially interested in the Pastor Pineapple Fried Rice, saw a few customers eating it and it looked delicious and well presented. Total unassuming spot and BYOB! Place is a gem. Heads up tho no Air Conditioning so the place is hot hot hot on a summer night or day it was 97 outside and prob just as hot inside lol I don’t know how they do it all day but it was well worth it. The salsas are great too the orange habanero is really tasty and spicy if ya like the heat! 🥵

“Asian Cuisine Express Grill is a certified Chicago Institution.”
Asian Cuisine Express Grill is a certified Chicago Institution. Tacos Al Pastor are flavorful, paired with a decadent selection of Mexican, Texmex and Chinese Fare. This restaurant is a testament to the strong bond between the Chinese and Mexican Communities in Chicago and the social & culinary brilliance we can bring to the world when we work across difference.

“You walk in here and you see exactly what you're getting, delicious, painfully cheap tacos.”
You walk in here and you see exactly what you're getting, delicious, painfully cheap tacos. Most taquerias will grill marinated pork on a grill or flattop and call it a day for Al pastor, not here, properly layered Al pastor on a spit with pineapple on top as well. I spent 5 bucks on 3 tacos, which is a Monday only deal, this is absurdly cheap especially when you consider some places will charge up to 5 for one taco. The Al pastor was well seasoned, had a great crust and was covered with cilantro, onion and fresh pineapple. The pickled cauliflower was also sour, just enough of a crunch and a great contrast between bites of Al pastor. Highly recommend would go back on a Monday.

My son and I were working on cars together. He said let's go get tacos. He took us on a 40 minute drive to Asian Cuisine Express. He told me to trust him. The al Pastor is absolutely fantastic. The asada is great also. He also got some fried rice to go. They do, do Asian food.
