About

Authentic Taco — Elk Grove Village mexican that sets the standard. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. Service that's warm without being over the top. Nick wasicki: "The meat is sooo well marinated and langua was the best I have EVER HAD"

“The BEST spot for quesabirria hands down.”

The BEST spot for quesabirria hands down! Excellent flavor and that crunch is to die for! I will be coming here from on. The staff is very friendly too! Especially Gabriela and Nina! I felt very welcome there!

“Absolute hidden gem.”

Absolute hidden gem. I’ve had no quesabirria burritos, racos, Gordita’s, all fantastic. This place is really good.

“This might be my new mexican spot.”

This might be my new mexican spot. I originally came here because on the picture, it was showing $8.99 for 3 taco dinner, and I wanted to grab a cheap lunch. Well, now it's actually $13.00 plus tax, and I got horchata, it almost came out $20, but it was so worth it. It was one the most well seasoned tacos I have had, every bite was just popping with umami and flavor. Plus, they have this orange color salsa, it was spicy but punchef with really good flavor. I got steak, pork, and chorizo, and all of them were really good. It gets packed and busy during lunch hour, a lot of pick-up orders, too. There are not many seats inside the restaurant, so be aware. It's definitely worth a trip for my lunch break from work. Can't wait to try their burrito or tortas now.

“This is the spot your looking for if your looking to take a trip over the boarder for authentic Mexican food!!”

This is the spot your looking for if your looking to take a trip over the boarder for authentic Mexican food!!! The meat is sooo well marinated and langua was the best I have EVER HAD!!! They are extremely fair price for the size of the tacos and the quality is ridiculously good this is a must stop and it is worth the drive to come here!!

“This place is fantastic.”

This place is fantastic. And I will definitely come back if I am in the area again. The staff were extremely helpful in helping us choose what to order, and while we were debating on what to order, we were offered to try a taco each on the house. Fantastic flavors in the tacos (chicken and quesabirria) and large portions compared to other taco shops I've been to. Even the rice and pinto beans have a ton of flavor.

“So grateful for authentic taco to be able to supply lunch for over 50 guests at a local business meeting.”

So grateful for authentic taco to be able to supply lunch for over 50 guests at a local business meeting. It was nice to support local business and to see everyone looks so happy who worked there. It is the only taco shop that is all female staffed. Thank you so much Minerva for your service!
