Southport Taqueria Dine-in & Take-out

“4.83- This charming spot is a must-visit.”

4.83- This charming spot is a must-visit! While the chips arrived cool, they were incredibly fresh and paired perfectly with the warm, flavorful salsa—a unique and delicious surprise. Both the red and green sauces were excellent, and the rice was cooked to perfection. The tacos were nearly flawless, served on exceptional tortillas. To top it off, the customer service was outstanding. Great job!

Catherine and Jimmy are such wonderful owners and make you feel truly welcome from the moment you walk in. After trying their amazing burrito yesterday, my family and I came back today for the tacos and they were absolutely incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and so authentic. We’re so happy we found this place. Definitely a new favorite! 🌮❤️

“This place did not disappoint!!”

This place did not disappoint!!! A big menu, reasonably priced, and tasty. We had pescado, al pastor, and pollo tacos but the star of the show was the Elote. We will be back!

“Real authentic tacos surprisingly located in an area where you wouldn’t think you’d find it.”

Real authentic tacos surprisingly located in an area where you wouldn’t think you’d find it. Savory and smokey salsa. Got the Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Birria. Al Pastor was delicious. The Carne Asada was definitely the star. A good Carne Asada is difficult to find because it can tend to be gristly, overcooked, and some places overly dress it with weird toppings. This place had no such problem. The meat was tender and seasoned - no gristle to be found. Great cuts. The service was friendly and the prices were fair. We’ll be back and would love if they opened a location in Wicker Park!

Stopped in for lunch, and it was already busy right when they opened! Gimmi and Iman were lovely. Had the birria, campenchano and pastor tacos. All were very good! Warm salsa for my chips, and both bottled sauces were great. Will definitely be back!

“Stopped in for Taco Tuesday and was not disappointed.”

Stopped in for Taco Tuesday and was not disappointed! The tacos I had were a very generous portion and delicious. Ample seating available inside and straight bangers on the aux. By far the best Mexican food in Lincoln Park!

Good food. Great service. Chill tunes. Your new favorite taco spot. Their taco bowls are delicious too! And definitely get the horchata, just get the 20oz. And their salsas are fire.

This was by far the best tacos I’ve had in Lincoln Park, we had the Linda platter and each taco was incredible. It’s a BYOB spot if you’re into that, and the meal feels like it’s truly home cooked - can’t wait to go back.
