Went here with my daughter a couple weeks ago, we were in Chicago from Boston for a college visit. We’re still thinking of these tacos. I honestly can’t recollect a better taco in the Boston area. Even the two different salsas that come with their chips… dang! Bottle n ship that plz/thx! Six stars out of five! Now all I have is mediocre Boston tacos in my life… sigh….

“Pro Tip: Make a reservation on weekends.”

Pro Tip: Make a reservation on weekends. This place had such fun vibes and really good food! Since we had a reservation the wat it was super short! We were a party of three. A friend and I shared the six taco plate with three different types of tacos. Afterwards we definitely had the churro and ice cream dessert! We ate it too quickly to take a picture. Lol! Get it...You won't regret it but you will regret it if you don't get it! The decor and atmosphere is so fun! My friend and I knew almost all the songs they played. You do have the option to sit outside but the inside vibe is 100% where it's at. They are two different worlds! I will definitely come back to this place next time I am in Chicago!

“A cute cozy place that you wouldn't really notice from the outside in winter.”

A cute cozy place that you wouldn't really notice from the outside in winter. We split 6 tacos and the winners were the pork belly, oh my cod and the brisket (yum!) but the real star was the queso. Made with goat cheese and it was just amazing with their house made chips. We will definitely be back. The margaritas were good and the staff was great at customizing to taste. The manager was walking around and checking in on everyone. My water was never empty and staff overall was just super friendly. Perfect Saturday lunch.

Amazing food and service. We had the Nacho Mama’s Nachos, enough food for 3-4 people.

Great tacos and an even better margarita! The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and the margarita was smooth, refreshing, and well balanced. Loved the laid-back vibe too. Definitely coming back! Highly recommended!!!

“We were visiting Chicago for the NBA game & Christmas time.”

We were visiting Chicago for the NBA game & Christmas time. We're so glad we stopped here. The tacos were amazing. DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT TRYING the churro filled with chocolate & peach gelato, probably my favorite dessert the whole trip! My favorite taco was the shrimp one & my husband's was the pork pineapple one. We also tried a raspberry marg on the rocks, which was great, but it was on the smaller side. The chips & salsa was okay (the chips were good, but the salsa was 2 different kinds & not your typical salsa). The atmosphere was perfect, but was also decorated very cute for Christmas. I recommend trying this restaurant, especially if you like Mexican food.

“The server was absolutely delicious.”

The server was absolutely delicious. Somehow found time to have an actual conversation with us while taking our order and serving others. We didn't have to wait much. Such a fun cozy spot with a creative twist on traditional street taco. Generously filled tacos so we each filled up on 3 or 4 tacos. You have to be comfortable with sidling up with your tablemates. The environment is buzzing but in a fun, not stressful or rushed way.

“this is an awesome Mexican restaurant near the Riverwalk.”

this is an awesome Mexican restaurant near the Riverwalk. The street tacos are fantastic. We loved the brisket chicken and Carne Asada. You definitely need to get the guacamole and chips. They were fantastic!

“Stumbled upon this place as soon as we walked out of the parking garage and it couldn't have been better timing.”

Stumbled upon this place as soon as we walked out of the parking garage and it couldn't have been better timing! We were hungry and tacos sounded perfect. From the minute we walked in the door, we knew we chose well. Super fun decor, we were seated and served immediately, and the food was fire! Chinga tacos on special with a cold Pacifico that appeared at the table almost immediately. Delicious!! I will make a point to go back!
