“Cute place to grab food in wicker park.”

Cute place to grab food in wicker park. I was in the area hanging out and shopping and needed something to eat. This was a popular place near the train. I sat at the bar and ordered some birria tacos and a margarita. Both were delicious and came out quickly. The tacos were hot, fresh and tasty. The bartender was friendly and had great service. I’d def stop back if I was in the area.

Amply filled tacos and tasty at that. A touch on the pricy side but we went away happy.

1st time here. We had the fish tacos and the Smashburger great flavors. One thing I would say, the fish tacos came out way before the Smashburger wished they would have waited to bring out all the food at once. Another thing that's Burger does not come with fries, so if you want some, you need to ask for them separately. Other than that, the Bloody Mary was amazing. It had great spice

The walking tacos are packed with flavor and have the perfect crunch, definitely a go-to comfort bite. The bourbon and whiskey selection is outstanding, with plenty of options for all tastes. The atmosphere is relaxed but full of energy, making it a great place to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy the vibe. Whether you’re just stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for the evening, it’s a spot that keeps you coming back.

Beautiful! Soft taco shells, incredible fillings and generous portions. Service is super fast and the outside area is great to sit in the sun. Try their homemade hot sauce!

Amazing tacos!! My expectations were exceeded by the handmade tortillas here and the tacos were pricey but delicious! The atmosphere is so nice too and I can’t wait to come back in the summer to take advantage of the outdoor seating. The staff were really kind as well! Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely recommend. The chilaquiles tacos were so good!

“The food, staff and atmosphere were amazing.”

The food, staff and atmosphere were amazing. Me and my guy went on Valentines Day for date night and we were not disappointed. It was busy but not too busy. We had the quesadillas, Al pastor tacos, carne asada tacos, elotes and two adult drinks. Everything was amazing, but the drinks were strong, lol. I’m not a drinker so it felt a bit much for me, but my guy enjoyed his very well. Staff was super helpful with ordering and although it’s a small menu, it packs a powerful flavoring. 10/10 recommend! Can’t wait to go back especially in the summer hours.

“Had a great experience, incredibly fast kitchen and bar service on top of friendly staff.”

Had a great experience, incredibly fast kitchen and bar service on top of friendly staff. Enough variety in the menu to give a lot of good options without feeling too overwhelming. Some good drink specials as well. We had gotten a gift card but for some reason never got the code that went with it. Manager was kind enough to take a picture of our receipt and sort it out later. 🙏
