Raymond's Tacos on Damen — neighborhood mexican in Pilsen. Walk in and you know immediately: this place is real. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. Open late, cash only. "The carne asada is tender and smoky, the al pastor is perfectly seasoned" — Paola Saraì

“1 of the best spots for Tacos and Burittos.”
1 of the best spots for Tacos and Burittos. Don't let the American Cheese scare you, it works and is delicious! They also have probably 1 of the best Verde Salsas around. They only accept cash but do have an ATM. This is definitely a must try if you're on the Southside!

“Raymond’s Tacos No.”
Raymond’s Tacos No. 2 is a true neighborhood gem. The tacos de lengua are easily some of the best I’ve had—tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. Each bite feels thoughtfully prepared, with fresh toppings and a perfectly crisp tortilla that elevates the experience. Equally impressive were the aguas frescas. Both the agua de jamaica and agua de horchata struck a perfect balance—vibrant, refreshing, and not overly sweet. It’s clear that attention to flavor and authenticity extends beyond just the tacos. While the lengua is the standout, the rest of the menu is solid and satisfying, making it a reliable go-to for quality Mexican food. Quick service and a friendly atmosphere round out the visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comforting, flavorful bites done right.

“A short walk from the Chicago Intl Produce Market this place serves up some great grub.”
A short walk from the Chicago Intl Produce Market this place serves up some great grub. I like the “small business” feel it has and the Horchata was very sweet and creamy with a great taste. The burger tasted like something you would find at a drive thru old school burger joint. Portions are large and food was fulfilling.

Was really good and flavorful, they are cash only but do have an atm inside. I had the ribeye steak taco and the pineapple water which both were amazing

“They accept cash only.”
They accept cash only. There is an ATM machine in there, however the ATM takes too much of your hard earned money to use it. The food is amazing though, everybody goes there, the burritos are amazing so I still highly recommend it.
