Taqueria Tejupilco — one of Lakeview's strongest mexican spots. Old-school in the best sense, with zero pretense. You can taste the generations behind this. Priced right. "The inside is small—only three tables—so it’s more ideal for takeout, but WOW, the food is phenomenal" — Gabrielle Trent

“While this isn’t the place for premium cuts or upscale dining, it’s a reliable choice if you’re looking for a quick, affordable meal with authentic touches”
If this is the best Mexican food in Chicago, I feel pretty bad for y'all.

“The perfect place to fill your stomach.”
The perfect place to fill your stomach. Me and my man got a burrito and tostadas. SOOOO good. I love the vibe and it’s a small business you MUST support. im never going to another Mexican restaurant again. Take all my money! Also the cashier lady was disgustingly beautiful and sweet😍

“Authentic, straight to the point and delicious little taqueria on broadway.”
Authentic, straight to the point and delicious little taqueria on broadway. Certainly some of the better Mexican I’ve had in the city with reasonable prices. Steak had a nice char and touch of smoke. Wish there was a little more meat in the Al pastor burrito, but the flavor was there. Also a huge fan of the verde salsa. Will absolutely be stopping in again. ¡Me encanta los tacos de aquí!

“This is the kind of torta you want to eat behind closed doors and shut blinds.”
This is the kind of torta you want to eat behind closed doors and shut blinds.. The person I was before this is no more, and I can only look forward to come to this place on a weekly basis. Brought my Mexican family over the other day as well and they left extremely impressed!

“We’re visiting from Miami and wanted authentic Mexican tacos (not flour tortillas).”
We’re visiting from Miami and wanted authentic Mexican tacos (not flour tortillas). The staff is really nice. This place has the best al pastor, birria, steak, and chicken tacos and burritos. The guacamole was great. En verdad, todo estuvo excelente. Muchísimas gracias!

“This place is seriously BANGING.”
This place is seriously BANGING. Easily one of the best hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. The inside is small—only three tables—so it’s more ideal for takeout, but WOW, the food is phenomenal. I got a steak fajita burrito, and it was sooo good I couldn’t put it down. Only (slightly) negative thing? No queso. And I love queso. But honestly, the food is so good, I’ll let it slide.
