“Went to this spot right off the Metra and was pleasantly surprised by tasty great value eats and homey service. I ordered the steak and the tripa tacos with everything on top. Meat and veggies were fresh and were grilled to order. Salsa verde added a satisfying sweet and spicy kick. Excellent service. Was even offered water after my meal free of charge. If you are in the neighbourhood, stop by and support this local business!!!”
“My family and I, first discovered Taqueria Hernandez in 2002 while living in Rogers Park. Shortly after, we moved away and hardly ever found ourselves in the area. Yesterday happened to be my first time visiting Taqueria Hernandez in 22 years and I found myself tasting the same quality tacos I had when I was 5 years old. To put it blatantly, I want it to be known that in my close to 28 years of living, I have yet to find better tasting tacos de lengua anywhere else in the US. Pictured below is my plate which consisted of: 1 taco de lengua, 1 torta de asada and 1 sope de asada. Ultimately, if you ever find yourself visiting Chicago, do yourself the favor and check this place out. I promise you will not be disappointed.”
