“Este sitio es una joya oculta, en serio, es buenísima la comida y súper accesible con los precios! Si quieres gastar tu dinero en una comida que valga la pena, ven para este lugar!”
“Very good 👍 real Mexican restaurant food nacho are very good and sauce not 💦 down”
“I love this place but it's such a shame to walk all the way here and find out they're closed because they don't update their hours online.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visitamos Taquería El Dorado y probamos las pupusas… ¡estaban muy ricas! 😋 Se notaba que estaban recién hechas, bien calentitas y con muy buen sabor. El curtido y la salsa complementaron perfecto. Definitivamente regresaremos. ¡Muy recomendado! 🙌”
“Great place — some of the best tacos I’ve tried in Chicago, but I wish they opened a bit earlier 🥲”
“Service is great. The lady was so kind to give me food while the card machine was messed up I came back and paid her. Thank you!”
“We walked in with a party of 13 around 1.5 hours before close and they sat us immediately. Service was great given the circumstances, we're super grateful. I got the carne asada taco dinner with an additional lengua taco. Food was fantastic and much cheaper than what I'm used to. I normally eat around Lincoln Square, just a mile east, but the food here is half the price and tastier.”
“Tacos were fresh and flavorful! I had shrimp taco, veggie taco and my date had al pastor and chili relleno. 2 tacos and I was stuffed.”
“My favorite spot for Al Pastor. I try to come here whenever I can if I am in Chicago.”
