“This place is great.”

This place is great! The cooks behind the counter are hilarious. The food is reasonably priced, authentic and delicious. I had a tostada, my fiancé had a steak taco and a chicken taco and we split at chips and salsa. The salsa is really good. Pico de gallo, not catch up with cut up onions inside of it.

“This place……was so good.”

This place……was so good. Such a hidden gem, the burritos are insane, I got chicken but wish I got steak or Mexican sausage. You can’t really go wrong though. Mexican sausage sopes are fantastic. It’s authentic. The owners are so kind & friendly— we went after hearing some blues at the Kingston Mines and it was the perfect way to end the night!

Excellent food and Service delivered with a down to earth vibe. If you love good food accompanied with service to match head to the Taco & Burrito Express. When I’m uptown I’ll always try to swing by for a few tacos and large Horchata.

I wanted to get Mexican food before the Mexico world cup match started and this place was the only place open before 9:00 am! I learned that it's a 24 hour taqueria and they serve brunch! We got the chorizo and eggs and huevos rancheros and my oh my, it was delicious. The man who took my order was very nice. I also enjoyed their art inside the restaurant. I will definitely come here again.

“This is a bit of a hole in the wall, but it really works.”

This is a bit of a hole in the wall, but it really works. The food is exactly what you would expect. It’s nothing special, but it gets the job done. The price is really fair and it filled me up. I loved the relaxed vibes in here as well.

I came to this place with high hopes with the reviews and the star ratings but as being a Mexican my self and wanted a quick bite. This food was the worst I have ever had in Chicago and I’ve been living here all my life. I ordered the taco dinner. The chicken was terrible no flavor and so dry….the rice and beans felt like it came out of a can (no salt) no seasoning whatsoever. Ended up throwing the whole thing away…..I would never be coming back here again unfortunately. The only thing that came out of this experience was the service wasn’t as terrible as the other comments made it seem.
