I'm being generous giving this place two stars, mainly because the person at the counter was nice.

“This place has a Happy Hour that will seriously make you happy.”

This place has a Happy Hour that will seriously make you happy. Dinner and a flight of margaritas for under $20 is unheard of 💃🏽🪇. The Barbacoa tacos were so tender and full of flavor. The choices of margaritas- excellent! If I lived in Chicago this would be my Monday- Friday spot

Absolutely amazing. Great prices. Great service. Nice atmosphere inside and outdoor dining. Street corn taco was my favorite. However I had several and they were all top notch! Very healthy portions as well! Can't wait to return

Eating at Flaco’s is the highlight of every Chicago trip if that says anything. Me and my partner talk about it all the time at home in Rhode Island.

“Hands down the best homemade tortillas chips I've ever had.”

Hands down the best homemade tortillas chips I've ever had. Guac was delicious, and my trio of tacos (street corn chicken, shrimp, and fish) were so, so, good. Small little place inside but we grabbed an outside table and our food was brought out quick.

“The shrimp tacos were awesome and come double wrapped so they don’t break and fall apart while eating.”

The shrimp tacos were awesome and come double wrapped so they don’t break and fall apart while eating. The tacos are filling and a great portion size. I live in the area and will come back. Keep up the good work.

“These are the best shrimp tacos I've ever had.”

These are the best shrimp tacos I've ever had! They are full of flavor, not rubbery, and are decent sized!! The Chicken, Barbacoa, Pescado, and Al Pastor tacos are also amazing! We tried the frozen lime and frozen mango margaritas and those were also awesome. The horchata is some of the best horchata I've had, in all honestly. The sangria tasted a bit like cough syrup, but was still good nonetheless. I will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in town next, and am so grateful that my boyfriend introduced me to this restaurant.

Over St Patrick’s day I ate here for the first time it was pretty busy but the line moved very quick staff was extremely friendly. I had a chicken taco & the Street Corn taco The street Corn was one of the best tacos I have ever eaten & I have had many tacos in my life. I also got a side of beans & chips- the beans which were also the best I have ever had & they give you a giant box of chips. The tacos are very filling as well lots of meet & the chili-lime salsa is awesome!!! I went back this past weekend, service & quality of food was excellent :) I also picked up the cutest sticker… Can’t wait to visit again.
