“I got the El Patron taco and chicken taco and they were both delicious! Loved them! Added the red and green sauce and some lime and omg to die for. The service was great, the cashier was excited to share his favorite. The place is clean and sunny. I just stumbled upon this place since it was close to me and so happy!”
“First time going and I really enjoyed the service . We got a great explanation of what each taco consisted of and customer service was top tier . Will definitely go back .”
“Buen servicio y muy buena comida espero los chilaquiles de salsa de abandero 🌮🌯”
“Excellent hidden gem in Lincoln Square. Their Quesabirria is worth traveling here for. I've tried many places in Chicago and this was an excellent find. Fair prices, consomme served with the quesabirria. No wait to get served but don't let that fool you, this place can easily get packed with the quality they serve. It was a nice day for a walk so I found this while checking out the neighborhood. 5/5 recommend and will come back again to try other specialties. Give them a shot if you love some cheese pull and consume so good you'll want to drink it after your meal. Que rico!”
“Super friendly staff and good tacos! Not the cheapest but good quality, would recommend!”
“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. 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. 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. 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.”
“Absolutely phenomenal tacos — the pastor is smoky, juicy perfection with just the right hint of pineapple, and the steak? Melt-in-your-mouth tender with a sear that means business. But let’s talk about the unsung hero: the beans. Creamy, rich, and so soulful they could headline a love song. Honestly, if those beans ran for office, I’d vote twice. 🌮🔥🫘”
