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 [$]

🌙Late night — the kitchen runs past 10.
💵Cash only — hit the ATM first, worth it.

I got a complimentary street takeover for my first time here, really sets the ambience for a late 2am taco run. Good tacos, can’t complain for a late night spot, the guys work fast. Make sure to bring cash.

Just solid nothing special. You can definitely get better tacos around Pilsen. But probably one of the few that opens till 3 am most days.

Ordered the chilaquiles and the chorizo and egg, lemonade and horchata. Everything was great, but please be aware the chilaquiles don’t come with shredded cheese, even though the menu says it does come with it. Also, please keep in mind this is a CASH ONLY place, so come prepared or use the ATM there.

As much as I’ve recommend this place to everyone I know, TONITE I was disappointed!! Found bones and hair in my chicken (Pollo) taco. What happened to hair nets and plastic gloves?? Workers are in a hurry to prepare food and get you out but QUALITY is key
