Taqueria El Kacheton Chicago — one of Irving Park's strongest mexican spots. The ingredients do the heavy lifting. Good for vegetarians, cash only. Liliana M: "The service was phenomenal and the food was tasty (albeit a little on the salty side for my taste)"

“The cook arrived early to started cooking, everyone LOVED the food”
35 mins for 2 tacos de asada. I was the only one in the restaurant too.
This was my first time trying this restaurant and let me tell you I will never return.

An amazing hidden gem, delicious birria on the weekends, served with homemade tortillas. Very cozy inside with lots of plants. Very kind and friendly people, will be back again.

As soon as I got out of work, I was craving tacos and I googled searched “taquerias near me.” I saw their good reviews and went there with my parents; the tacos did not disappoint. Tacos were delicious with tortilla hechas a mano, and their aguas frescas were top notched as well ( tried their horchata, Jamaica, and tamarindo)

“KACHETON tacos ftw.”
KACHETON tacos ftw! Crispy tripe and pastor mixed together with plenty of cilantro and onions all in a homemade tortilla to form a heavenly taco. Affordable. Super friendly service as well. Would def go back! @RefereEats

“Stopped in to Taqueria El Kachaton based on other online reviews.”
Stopped in to Taqueria El Kachaton based on other online reviews. It's a neighborhood restaurant that offers a variety of Mexican food. They told us they only have one menu in English, so be prepared. We ordered a carne asada taco dinner and 3 carne asada tacos with the handmade tortillas. The meat was very tasty and I especially liked the grilled onions on the carne asada taco dinner.

Such warm service and an absolutely delicious pollo pambazo! Plus both salsas (red and green) were some of the best I’ve had in the area. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

“We were looking for a place which would come to your home with their outdoor grill and cook for our guests.”
We were looking for a place which would come to your home with their outdoor grill and cook for our guests. Although there are many, all require a minimum of 50 guest and the cost is huge. My husband would always pick up tacos from Taqueria El Kacheton, he suggested we ask them if they cater for a small gathering. Luckily they said yes. The cook arrived early to started cooking, everyone LOVED the food. GREAT choice. The cook was professional and attended to what are guests wanted.
