On the pricey side for tacos but it’s worth the price. Very delicious across the veggie tacos too.

One of my favorite taco joints in the city. Carne asada and al pastor tacos never disappoint.

Atotonilco has a lot of hype. My experience at the Pilsen location was pretty good - tacos (both al pastor and carne asada) had great flavor and were fresh. Getting quite pricey but tacos everywhere seem to be. I've heard the Little Village location is better - a stop here is still worth it.

I came by to try their lengua, atotonilco, and fish taco. Its cash only straight to business taqueria with plenty of seatings in the back. I enjoy the lengua taco, the other two are okay. Will need to try al pastor upon return!

Tacos have gotten expensive, not only that. It was lunch time it was dead. This place is usually hoping. I guess we'll look back on this day, and hopefully remember it, that people were afraid to go out because of ICE, massive deportations. Ruining the economy, that's for sure. Sad. The price is my only complaint.

Pretty solid late night spot that serves almost exclusively tacos. As others have said, it's a bit pricey yet at $4-5 per Taco, and they don't really give any discounts for sets. The asada is indeed the big winner, it was so delicious I don't know what they do to it! The minced beef was quite poor, the beef was very chewy and tasted old. The chorizo was pretty decent, pretty much the same as every other taco place. Service was insanely slow, probably 20 minutes to whip out 3 tacos...

The meats did not have flavor, the hot sauce was missing the hot. The tortilla was greasy and semi hard shell. The hour long bus ride was not worth it. I would suggest to not have tacos in Chicago or at least not here. There was nothing authentic about the food. A big skip for this small chain of tacos.
