Hands down the best Tacos Al Pastor in Chicago. They do it the authentic way with pieces of pineapple. Plus, it’s the Taco Tuesday special! Taco de Lomo and Carne Asada hit the spot as well.

The food was amazing!!! I had Gordita and tacos. Steak is seasoned very well and tender. The woman and her husband are very kind and nice. I will definitely be a on going customer and recommend to all!

Compramos pollo Asado. Muy buen sabor del pollo, pero los frijoles que dan junto con el arroz no sabían a nada, ni siquiera sal. Luego notamos que uno de los chiles toreados tenía hongo. Ojalá pongan mas atención a la caducidad de los ingredientes.

The lady was very polite and accommodating. Food came out hot and fresh. Al pastor tacos and chicken quesadillas were delicious. We will definitely return!

My son asked to try this place and we really enjoyed our meal last night. Everything was fresh and the portions were generous. We picked up our food and ate at home.

Tacos en Paraíso has amazing tacos full of flavor. The meat is well seasoned, the tortillas are fresh, and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and fast, and the prices are very reasonable. Simple place with excellent food. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be back!

The food, excellent. The service, the Lady is very personable and polite. The atmosphere, well.. Could use some work but that is overlooked cause of the good food.
