Taco Boom Chicago

“Birra Pizzadilla was delicious.”

Birra Pizzadilla was delicious. I tried to pace myself, but it was so good I basically inhaled it. I had the green juice to drink, which went well with the food. The warm Pizzadilla with the cup of dip/soup when it's freezing outside hit the spot.

“This place is so good.”

This place is so good. I really like the vibe inside and even when they’re super busy the people there are very friendly. The guy making the food knows his regulars which is cool to see (and there were a lot haha). Had the tacos but have to return to try the quesabirria.

“Quesabirria are delicious hands down the consomé is flavorful.”

Quesabirria are delicious hands down the consomé is flavorful. Taco boom is amazing. BYOB. Parking is street paid parking. The only thing I didn’t like was the Barbie flan it’s like cheesecake with flan I don’t know I didn’t like the texture seemed dry. Good tunes. Great personnel.

“I tried the quesabirria and it totally hit the spot.”

I tried the quesabirria and it totally hit the spot. The tortillas were cheese crisp on the edges and filled with tender birria beef that soaked up every bit of flavor. The consome on the side made dipping each bite feel extra rich. The shop’s casual vibe and friendly staff made everything feel easy and fun. I’ll be back soon to order it again no doubt.

Highly recommend stopping in for a TaconMadre (blue corn tortilla with steak, beans, guacamole, and cheese). So flavorful! You won't regret it.

“We all ordered different small entrees.”

We all ordered different small entrees. All affordable. The salsa they give you is more like a hot sauce and they call it salsa, but it is good. Just not chunky with chopped tomatoes, etc. Our party of four all enjoyed their entrees. It's a simple no frills place, walk in, get seated, and food is brought out when done. It's truly authentic Mexican food, which is why I recommend it. Our waitress was very nice. I have attached photos.

“What can i say, the best tacos I’ve ever had.”

What can i say, the best tacos I’ve ever had. This place is out of this world, their quesabirria is so good which is their specialty, their tacos can’t even describe. I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants but this one is my favorite.

“Ordered delivery.”

Ordered delivery. It was all very good. My favorite was the Queso Boom Especial, though really, it was all pretty top tier. I encourage using the red and green sauces provided as they really elevate the experience. The guac is more on the citrussy side of a flavor that I'm used to, but it was still pretty good. Initially, I saw the green beans in the rice and was hesitant, but i actually really enjoyed the side of rice!! Total green bean rice enthusiast. All around, it's a positive experience.

Okay so this isn’t your regular neighborhood taqueria, these are self respecting young chefs who opened a restaurant they wanted to see in the world, and I love that. Their open kitchen was spotless clean! Probably the cleanest restaurant kitchen I ever seen. I also got a good glimpse of the back of the kitchen where they had a door wide open when I was walking back from the bathroom, it was also immaculately clean. The menu is quite fun with combo filling tacos they call “booming tacos” which all have kinda funny names, volcan tacos, large vegetarian menu section, chilaquiles and other breakfast options. It’s a refreshing menu to read. We tried the quesabirria, al pastor tacos and asada tacos. The consommé is complimentary to your quesabirria. I like the asada it was very well seasoned. Quesabirria are great, they are quite soaked in the consommé and very very messy to eat. Their restaurant slogan is “Don’t be afraid to get messy” so no surprise. Al pastor is not cooked on a vertical rotisserie, flavor wise it was okay. The whole restaurant is decorated with neon signs, all industrial style, it is fun and young. I was surprised that they didn’t offer alcohol because it feels like the place you would get your cheladas on. Overall this is a unique taqueria and a place I will always come back to.

“Took an unexpected trip to Taco Boom with an acquaintance and immediately fell in love.”

Took an unexpected trip to Taco Boom with an acquaintance and immediately fell in love! Discovered this place through a food review content creator on TikTok and immediately had to come out and show support. Not only was the service phenomenal but the food was bomb! Me and my company really enjoyed ourselves and love that we had the opportunity to experience this place :)
