La Pasadita
La Pasadita is a long-standing Noble Square favorite, beloved by generations of regulars for flavorful steak tacos, generously topped tostadas, chile rellenos, lengua, barbacoa, and an especially memorable burrito marinade—plus refreshing horchata. Friendly service and a nostalgic, neighborhood atmosphere add to its appeal, but portions and quality can vary, and frequent reviewers warn that tacos now cost around $7, making value a concern.

“Steak is still great. Prices have really increased in the last few years but it’s a sign of the times, and it just means I go in less often. Bring cash.”
“Great food, great customer service and the food worth every penny and I’m from Texas this became my spot when I lived in the northside.”
“The steak tacos are amazing. More than enough meat. We also loved the steak and chicken tostadas. Plenty of toppings and very prompt service.”
“I've been coming here since 1989. Well, when they had the shack across the street. It's the best burrito I've found in Chicago. It's costly, but it's worth it. I would trade my kingdom for their marinade. I would only use it for me, no one here in Milwaukee is worthy of such deliciousness.”
“Absolutely amazing food at La Pasadita! The tacos are incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every bite was fresh and delicious, and the quality definitely stands out. The kind of food that keeps you thinking about it after you leave and makes you want to come back for more. Great service, great flavor, and an overall excellent experience. Highly recommend!”
