Taqueria Los Comales Pilsen — honest mexican in Pilsen. The kitchen takes tradition seriously. Staff that genuinely cares how your meal goes, and wallet-friendly. Becky Tran: "As a SoCal/San Diego native, these are probably the best tacos in Chicago"

What a huge disappointment we had this evening. I was craving a chile relleno taco and a susdero taco.
Food poisoning!!!!!!🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 We ended up getting sick we both had a stomach ache after eating here and I had diarrhea and we didn't have any issues until after eating here.

“Everyone in the eating area to the staff all the way to the cook had a positive attitude”
Pre heated microwave chille Reno tacos that were pre packaged like something out of a box no bueno, overall decent tacos hur not the stuffed peppers it’s been frozen pre made from soem factory highly advise to stay away from stuffed pepper tacos, everything else is about average quality.
“Great food and atmosphere.”
Great food and atmosphere. I called ahead for a carry out order and there was minimal wait time. I love their food, however the rice could be a bit more seasoned, it's tasted better on different occasions. Everything else though was top notch.

“As a SoCal/San Diego native, these are probably the best tacos in Chicago.”
As a SoCal/San Diego native, these are probably the best tacos in Chicago. Ate in and ordered the following tacos: pastor, bistek, lengua, cabeza, and fish. All was good but I would make a note that the pastor, while flavored well, is not the type of al pastor that's cooked on a spit. The horchata was good. And we enjoyed the pickled veggies as well.

“I had a wonderful experience coming here.”
I had a wonderful experience coming here. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and giving a menu. The options here are easy to understand. The categories here make it simple to choose. You don't have to speak Spanish to place your order but it is a plus. Everyone in the eating area to the staff all the way to the cook had a positive attitude. They have bathroom here and they were clean. I would definitely recommend coming here for good Mexican food. I certainly would come back. Payment here will be in the form of cash or credit card.

“The food is always amazing.”
The food is always amazing. Some of the best tacos in the city. The burritos are packed with a lot of meat, salsas have a good kick without being overpowering. The horchata and tamarindo agua fresca should be on your order. Prices are much better than many of the other restaurants nearby too.

“A neighborhood staple.”
A neighborhood staple. Come here if you want great tacos for a fair price. The taco lengua dinner was delicious and filling, and the horchata was very good 7/10.

“The food was great and the service was excellent.”
The food was great and the service was excellent. I am going to come back again and again. Also, another cool component of this restaurant is that there are cool building art murals across the street.

“Always an Amazon eat at Los Comales.”
Always an Amazon eat at Los Comales. I get some horchata and 3 steak tacos. I ate it so fast I was tempted to order more. The waitresses and the security guard were all super kind as I had gone on the way home from downtown, late night, and solo.

“We visited Los Comales twice in the span of 3-4 days if that says anything.”
We visited Los Comales twice in the span of 3-4 days if that says anything. The dining room seems to be bustling even at 11/12 at night booths/tables packed with families, couples, friends. We recommend los tacos de cecina y huarache de asada paired with an agua fresca. (especially the horchata or guava). 12/10 flavors packing a delightful, authentic Mexican punch, 10/10 friendly staff, and a cozy, family- style space all at a reasonable price. 10/10 will return this gem in Pilsen. 🇲🇽❤️🌮
