“) a much better value and no-attitude service compared to the two other taco places in the area (Flaco's and Tallboy)”
“So simple and so good.”
So simple and so good. Juicy and tasty tacos and burrito. (Steak is my fave) Cheese lover? Get there creamy queso sauce on the side. It’s to die for. It’s warm and very well seasoned. Great late night greasy food, or dinner and this place is open 24/7. Workers are also chill and good vibes!

“A MIRACLE after a long night of dancing!”
A MIRACLE after a long night of dancing!! I needed to refuel with something filling, tasty and nutritious, and Big Wig came through!!! Was just a short walk from where I'm staying, and the fact it's open 24hrs SAVED me at almost 3am. The service was wonderful--the lady working the register was super nice!! I got the chicken bowl, and oh my lord, I eat a lot of chicken tex mex bowls, but this was seriously delicious!! Filling and tasted very fresh, even the chips! The vibe was also very chill and peaceful which was perfect to relax as I wound down. 😌 I also got to try their homemade horchata--SO GOOD!! I asked for their recommendation, so they did a mix of the strawberry and original--yes made with REAL strawberries--and it was like strawberry milk, but 100' better!! What a treat!! Truly cannot recommend Big Wig Tacos highly enough, thanks for being the perfect end to a great night! And to the lady working the counter--sorry I didn't get your name, but thank you for your help!! ✨️🙌😄

“Carne asada tacos were on point.”
Carne asada tacos were on point! Found this place on google maps and it ended up being two blocks away from the hotel!! It’s open 24 hours!

“HUGE portions, really tasty.”
HUGE portions, really tasty. The honey chipotle and the cilantro lime were too cold for me to register their taste so in my opinion they're not worth the extra charge, but will come back. EDIT: I have been back several times, the creaminess of the cliantro lime sauce is worth it. Amazing food

It is the best burrito it is juicy not dry everything is fresh especially the steak burrito with extra sour cream with green sauce of lemon and pepper not hot .... Thanks 😊 a lot 👍❤️ You can order online and get points and after a while turn into gifts to order more items or try new items and get a true positive feedback on them The workers are working very hard and they need to know about the online orders website or the barcode QR code how it works and how to apply for it because it is advertised on the reside paper you take discounts when you order online and the workers have no clue how it works? I don't forget the clean of the bathroom all the time Thanks for the wonderful customer service and wonderful help and wonderful support by the cashier And associates . You are guys lady's and gentelmens the best of the best

I recently tried this place and some really good tacos and added guacamole on top, which was amazing! I also got a side of queso and chips that paired perfectly. The service was fast and friendly, and the open windows made for a nice view while I ate. Definitely recommend this place!

Visiting Chicago and we randomly found this place, the Carne Asada tacos and Mexican rice are both absolutely delicious I’m so obsessed. The guacamole was extremely fresh as well. We also tried the chicken burrito which was really good and I don’t usually like burritos. We had to come here twice because of how good it is. Good service as we’ll, food comes out exactly like you order.

“This probably has one of the best steak tacos I have had in Chicago.”
This probably has one of the best steak tacos I have had in Chicago. Most places, the steak is dried up or not very tasty. However, this place the steak is always very juicy and cooked to perfection. I order from here a lot on Uber Eats and I have never been disappointed. I also love their pico de gallo which is also hard to find good tasting pico in the city. One of the great things is that they are open late nights, which has been perfect on my way home from a night out of drinking. No matter what time of day, try the steak tacos and steak burrito. This place I highly recommend!
