Taco Firme | Mexican
Taco Firme is a cozy, family-run Ukrainian Village storefront serving fresh, affordable Mexican favorites, from juicy carnitas and al pastor tacos with smoky red salsa to massive tortas, pambazos, quesabirria, and chile relleno. Regulars love the welcoming owners, quick service, hot chips, cucumber-lime juice, jamaica, and horchata latte; seating is limited, and one review flags inconsistent service.

“Lo recomiendo mucho, comida mexicana excelente, excelente atención, servicio etc.”
“Stopped by on whim after a frisbee practice and ended up eating some of the best tacos I’ve had in a while. Everything was made fresh, the tacos were soft and the tortilla chips were hot. Their red salsa was smoky and complex, and the carnitas were super juicy and tender.”
“Taco Firme is a must-visit! The customer service was outstanding – the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors in every bite. The tacos were delicious, and the variety of options made it hard to choose just one! Highly recommend Taco Firme for anyone craving great food and top-notch service. I'll definitely be back!”
“i got the pambazo with chorizo con papas and it was delicious!!”
“I’m a contractor Took the guys for lunch Really good Mole BYOB I’ll be back Dinner was like 19$ I think”
“Don't even waste your money. My daughter saw this place on tik tok. The tacos are small, overpriced and tasteless. Look at the chicken taco,looks like...doesn't look like chicken. And steak looked like ground beef. I tried to eat it but I couldn't finish it. This couldn't be fresh looking like dry canned meat. The sauces were ok but didn't help with the flavor. Very bland. I hope I don't get sick.”
“The food is wonderful, first off, right off the bat you need to know that their food is excellent. The horchata latte refresher is wonderful as well. But the service is the worst service I've experienced at any restaurant, ever, point blank. I had a very pleasant experience with Alexa on Saturday, when I had come in and ordered the horchata latte refresher for the first time. I initially got the smaller size, and I liked it so much that I got the larger size. I had such a pleasant experience that I decided to return today, on labor day, exactly 2 days after that encounter. When I walked in, I asked the guy working the counter how much it would cost for a gordita and a horchata latte refresher in the smaller size. He promptly told me that it would be "$12-14" because its priced higher, at $6.75. I told him I know that to be wrong because I was just in two days ago. He becomes vehement and agitated, absolutely insistent that I am wrong. I told him that Alexa served me on Saturday, and I know that there is a price difference. I even demonstrated it by showing him a picture. Again, he just remained aggressive and instead decided to call Alexa down. At this point he began to word vomit about how he actually charged someone $6.75 for a smaller size before I came in. I found that even more incriminating, because why would you admit to upcharging a customer to another customer? Please make it make sense. He also admitted to me that he doesn't know how to make the drink anyway. Alexa finally came in and she recognized me. She rightfully corrected his weird misconception but at this point I had already had enough with arguing with this random dude. I apologized and I told her that I have no interest in eating at their establishment and I left. This interaction left a really sour taste in my mouth. Please don't let them upcharge you on their drinks here. What a horrible experience. Would give 0 stars if I could.”
“Very friendly employees, quick service, jamaica was great and not too sweet, tacos (al pastor and carnitas) were good and tasted like you would get them anywhere else - not sure what other reviewers are talking about”
