They had the most welcoming staff and the young man that was the waiter that afternoon was a gem.
Their tacos al pastor are the best. Fast service The Atmosphere is good, no loud music and Very spacious .
Steak and al pastor tacos were delicious!

“The most authentic tacos we’ve ever had in the U”
The tacos are good but it seems like every time I come the price changes and I’m here a lot.
Food was really good. However our server stopped coming to our table. She closed put two tables who arrived after us.

very clean space, quick and nice service, amazing food. i loved the char on the steak and al pastor. all 3 salsas were very flavorful and had a nice spice without being too hot. my husband said the tripas was crispy and seasoned nicely. we moved to the north side 2 years ago and have tried several mexican restaurants, but this is the first i wanted to rate and recommend to my friends/family.

“Stopped here because we’re doing vanlife and it was next to an awesome laundry mat.”
Stopped here because we’re doing vanlife and it was next to an awesome laundry mat. Highly highly recommend! If we’re ever in Chicago again we will be coming here regularly. The most authentic tacos we’ve ever had in the U.S!!! The have there own sauces that are unique and out of this world. They grill whole scallions and shishito peppers as garnish. Very affordable price too! Ended up buying a tray of tacos for the road we liked them so much!!

“I got the taco dinner (2 vegetarian & 1 fish tacos) - so yummy.”
I got the taco dinner (2 vegetarian & 1 fish tacos) - so yummy! I am very picky with veggie tacos since that’s the main taco I eat but these were delicious. My boyfriend got the veg, fish, and shrimp tacos and really enjoyed them as well. They made the guac fresh. Great service, will definitely be back!

I am so excited to share this amazing experience with everyone! Los Flacos is such a clean and fun little Mexican restaurant! The service was great and the food absolutely delicious! The small complimentary caldos de Pollo were yummy and a nice touch!

“Food was flavorful but the tostadas I ordered had little meat on them.”
Food was flavorful but the tostadas I ordered had little meat on them. $17 for 2 tostadas is ridiculous. I also ordered onions on my food and was charged extra and didn't get them. I've been to better Mexican spots. This place is trash.
