Jerk Taco Man
Jerk Taco Man stands out for boldly spiced jerk chicken tacos, steak tacos, and especially generous jerk ribs and chicken tips—regulars rave about the flavor, portions, and distinctive rub-style sauce, with a sweeter jerk barbecue option also available. The casual spot has a friendly, welcoming staff and owner, but expect potentially long waits and occasional inconsistency with sides, freshness, and order accuracy.

“The food is always on point. Some of the employees there are a bit slack sometimes but; this dude has the recipe. I remember when he started on Cicero and he started selling tacos in his girlfriend’s shop. TMI🤣🤣🤣. Great food. He just needs to make a few upgrades on his Pulaski and Jackson spot.”
“Really good food. Had the whole wongs with fries and jerk sauce only. Jerk sauce was not barbequey, it was more of a rub with a light oil very tasty, very spicy even on the fries. They offer a more traditional jerk that they call jerk barbeque sauce as well.”
