Basic street tacos. You get a nice size portion of meat, but very overpriced even for airport prices. 2 small tacos for $15.

For breakfast options before 7am there is the Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit with a bottle of water is $21 (incl taxes) here in the morning. The tots are $5.49 extra so I skipped those :-) but overall tasty! They have forks and knives by the register as this could get a little messy :-) The Hubbard Inn by gate B9 has something similar but on a bagel I believe for $16.96. read more

I ordered the chicken and pork tacos here and appreciated the generous amount of meat given. The meat was cooked to a point of softness. There were some interesting choices of salsa including tamarind. The food lacked seasoning and seemed like it has been sitting there for some time. I ended up getting the runs shortly after this meal. I did not like that the cashier wanted to charge extra for a small container of sauce as the customer ahead of me was not charged. Service was also very slow. read more

At first no one wanted to take our order even though there was no one in line. I ordered three chicken tacos. My husband ordered six carnitas tacos. We ordered two large drinks. None of the three serving ladies could figure out that we wanted nine tacos. Then they argued about what type we ordered. The larger lady in charge couldn't get around the fact that my husband should have two sauces if he ordered six tacos as I was offered one for three. Then I had to remind them that I ordered drinks. It cost almost 80 dollars for 9 tacos, chips, and drinks. The tacos were decent, but the snyde comment about us from the larger serving lady as we were leaving convinced us to leave a poor review and never return. I can see why we were the only customers. read more

Great tacos. Loved the energy of the woman rubbing the place. She's such a boss. Service quick and clear. Would definitely recommend.

In Midway airport, delicious tacos made with special ingredients. Get the spicy pork, shrimp or big and little taco.

I've never had such wet tacos before. I tilted the box on my lap so that the water collected in a corner and then used a napkin to mop them up. Service was quick. Two tacos were about $8. The meat was indistinguishable from each other flavor wise, but both were well cooked. The salsa was uninspired. All in all they got the job done. The store front is grab and go. You'll have to find a seat at a gate to eat at. I recommend grabbing a fork to get all the food that falls out of your tacos! read more

For the love of all things holy, find somewhere else to eat. Very limited menu (advertise burgers, po boys, tacos, and fries and only had tacos). So slow that other people ordered and ate next door and we were still in a line of 4 parties total. The woman making food yelled at customers, from "what do you want!" To "I don't know what the menu says...what do you want in it!" She kept hollering at the other employee to get her cheese, more boxes, etc. She then got mad that the other employee jumped in to get things moving. After helping one person, the second employee went to the back to talk smack to someone working back there -they both rolled their eyes at the woman out front. My beef tacos were bland with mushy tortillas that fell apart. No forks available. The smart people left the line. I wish I did too... If this represents Chicago, I don't want to come back. read more

Ehhh talk about some disappointing airport food. I stopped by for a pre-flight dinner before 7pm. I thought I'd give this place a try since "tacos" sounded like a good idea. Well their tacos are quite lacking, more like a mushy mess with few topping options that night. They were out of cilantro, among other things. Supply chain issues seems to be a trend at more than one Midway eatery right now since another place I tried to go to before resorting to this place closed early because they ran out of food. The servers working that night were friendly but didn't really seem to be paying attention to what I was saying- two people managed to mess up my order. I ordered 4 tacos- 2 pork and 2 carnitas, and somehow ended up with 4 pork. However, my receipt read 2 pork and 2 chicken. One lady started making my tacos and half way through making them, she handed the job over to another lady who worked the cash register- not sure why the change of hands. Neither of them realized that my order was wrong despite me telling both of them what I wanted. If they couldn't hear me properly behind the mask, they could've just asked me to repeat my order. It wasn't particularly busy here so it wasn't like they were in a rush. Once I opened my box and realized I had received 4 pork tacos, I decided to just go with it. Maybe the pork would be great, I thought. The pork tasted very bland. The only thing going for it was that it was quite juicy. Unfortunately, the soft taco shell was completely mushy and impossible to eat from the juices soaking the flour. Everything fell apart when I tried to pick it up. Moreover, I found a huge shard of bone in one of my pork tacos- downright dangerous. Thank goodness I was eating slowly otherwise it would've been very painful chomping down on that thing. For over $17 for the entire order, it was totally not worth it. I will not be returning next time I'm at Midway. read more

Arrived at Chicago Midway airport at 930 AM local time after flying from the East Coast at such an early flight. They were serving breakfast but hey, they had taco breakfast with pulled pork so I am sold. The taco was okay but the service was awful. The person behind the counter looked like she was already having a bad day and did not even call me to say my food was ready. I was standing across the counter waiting and only after about 10 minutes of waiting did I come over and ask at which point she points at a small paper sitting on the counter in front of her. When I mentioned that she didn't call me for my order, she just looks up and away. Shameful. Too bad that places like this--street food of Chicago--has so much potential but then the service just makes it not worth trying. read more

Not a fan at all, not sure if this is a restaurant that's located outside of the airport as well but I didn't like the airport location. The tacos come so soggy that they're basically falling apart as you try to eat them. The meat also lacked flavor but the service is pretty fast if you really need something in a rush. read more

[ Tuna crunch wrap ] good and bigger than I expected. $13 bucks seems a bit much for it but whatever - it's airport pricing. The other options near my gate offered up chicken or pizza. Anyway, it's composed of a flour burrito shell, white rice, romaine, hard shell corn tortilla (crunch), fresh ahi tuna, ginger, special sauce (chili aioli), samurai sauce (soy base sauce). [ Ahi Tuna Poke Taco ] smallish - think of it as 3/4s the size of a regular taco but it was loaded up with a generous amount of tuna that it actually overflowed out of the shell. It's served on a hard shell tortilla with a mix of ginger, chili paste, sesame seed oil, chili aioli, samurai sauce (soy base sweet sauce) and topped with sesame seeds. read more

Pretty good for airport food. Electronic menu highlights each menu item and shows a picture. Useful! Service was quick. She was not stingy w the meat or sauce. Ahi tuna was jam packed in the crunchy taco shell. It was worth the $2.79 extra charge. Lots of taco options. Cooler w beverages including water. Overpriced, but it's the airport. Packed up to go for every customer. No seating. So grab, go, and sit at your gate to eat. read more

I had 3 spicy beef tacos and 1 chicken taco. The spicy beef was on a corn tortilla with fresh cilantro and red onion tipped with a slightly sweet bonsai sauce. They were good but on my walk (5 min) to my gate and to wash my hands the corn tortillas got soggy. I topped the chicken with their spicy aoli and I am glad I did it was in a corn tortilla, cheese, cilantro, and onion. So of yiu get chicken opt for one of their 3 sauces. The service was basic they are moving people along because we are in an airport. read more

Passing through Chicago Midway again and I knew what I wanted. We were arriving in gate B-11, so I knew Big & Little's was right across the way. So, what what was it going to be this time? One Big & Little (Fried Fish), one Hawaiian Pork, & one Shrimp taco. Three (3) tacos for $10.99. Not bad for an airport meal, right? I opted for the Big & Little's sauce on 2 and tartar sauce on the fish. Again, everything was fresh and tasty. The establishment is clean. The service is nice and fast. No line. And, again, I think the name is really the problem. I told 2-3 people I was going to Big & Little's and they were like, "What?" This place has great food, but, seriously, the name does not lead one here. I'm not saying change the name totally, but maybe add something to let people know. I showed up and there was NO line, when there should be one. The food is good and all three (3) of my tacos were great. Yummy. Again, I will be back and keep passing the name along. My travel partner opted to go to another restaurant to get a burrito because he knew nothing of Big & Littles. People who travel don't know the local eats. I had a nice lunch. :) read more

Post COVID this place really went down hill. I use to get food here all the time when I would travel through Midway. Now all they have are chicken and the beef tacos which were tasteless and watery with only onions and America cheese as toppings. Pre COVID they had fish and shrimp tacos as well with many fresh toppings. I would not recommend this place at all if you are traveling through Midway. read more

Food has no flavor. It's hard to F*^% up a taco but that was bad. Bland with no seasoning.

Chicago-Midway (MDW) is in the process of upgrading their dining options. This taco stand is on Concourse B. No seating, so you have to do takeaway. No Coke, Pepsi - thank goodness they have beer! I had the trio of tacos: Grilled fish - simple grilled cod. Not a lot of flavor, but no fishy taste tasted fresh, but a little tough. Probably wouldn't do this one again. Served on soft corn tortillas Al pastor - very tender pulled pork with pickled red onion and jalapeño. I skipped the jalapeños and added cilantro. Very tender pork with a little kick. Delicious. Served on soft corn tortillas Ahi tuna - served in a crunchy tortilla, so tastes similar to tuna poke on wontons. It has a bit of a kick, but I think that was in the samurai sauce - sweet and spicy. Would get tuna and pork again, and try a different third. Service was pleasant, but not exuberant! It is in the airport atte read more

This place is average. They got three stars because at least the food taste well seasoned. I got 2 carnitas taco. They are very small. It cost 8 dollars. My food was cold. I wouldn't recommend and I more than likely won't go back. read more

Airport food is usually horrible. Big & Little was not horrible. The lady who was making my tacos seemed new, she kept reading from a sheet of paper to make sure she put the right ingredients. As you can see from my picture, I ordered 3 tacos. They came in a cardboard box and were very messy. Make sure you ask for a fork and knife if you don't want sauce dripping all over your hands. I got the al pastor, carnitas and fish. The al pastor and carnitas tasted similar, except for the fact that the al pastor was slightly spicier. The fish tacos had picked jalapenos and samurai sauce. I have no idea what samurai sauce is. Overall, its non-horrible option for food. read more

This place was surprisingly tasty, especially for airport food. I usually go to the hot dog place in the Midway food court, between terminals A and B (gotta have my Chicago hot dog when in Chicago!) but I was waiting with a coworker friend at her gate (B17) and this was nearby. It's $7.25-ish for two tacos and you can also choose three or four tacos. I had one Carnitas taco, which was okay, and then a Mango Chutney one, which was fantastic. The sweetness of the mango definitely complemented the pork. Very good tacos, especially for an airport, so I may have a new favorite food place when I'm at Midway, which is fairly often. read more

First thing - I like the Big & Littles in Chicago and have often visited the Orleans and Belmont locations. I really enjoy the food. Ok, now about the Midway Airport location. To begin with - no menus. Not even a big one on the wall to read when you are waiting in line. There is a little tiny partial one on an 8x11 right before you order. It wasn't even a complete menu and no prices! I asked about the price of fries and the girl behind the counter just gave me the DBS and said "I don't know". Very strange. Even for post pandemic service, which I now expect to be pretty bad going into any restaurant, this was kind of jarring. So I'm up for some Big & Littles and I'm going to tough it out - even without knowing the prices. So I order my chicken taco and a beef one with some fries. The next person behind the counter asks me what sauce I want on each taco - this is unexpected because at the other Big & Littles the sauce is matched to the taco you order. So I ask her what do they usually put on each and she says it's up to me - she has no idea what sauce goes with what. So I wing it and guess what sauce would be good. I guessed wrong I think because the food was not so good. Tortilla was also not really cooked and water logged, so my tacos just fell apart when picked it up. Not at all like the other locations. Conclusion. Not a good experience for the price, which I found out at checkout was a lot more than the other locations. People working there didn't have a clue and didn't seem to care. Food was underwhelming and poor quality. If this place wasn't in the airport I'm sure it would be closed. Now you might think I might just be a fussy person who complains about everything, but I travel a lot and I really don't need to have the server kiss my butt or act super friendly - I just want to know what I'm ordering, how much it costs and I like good tasting food. Another concern I had after I ate was that if the front counter servers don't seem to care at all about what they were doing, what is going on in the back where they are cooking and handling my food. Big & Little - please visit this location and fix it! Very disappointing and not at all what I expect from any restaurant, let alone one of my favorites. read more

I came here for breakfast before an early flight. I got an egg and beef taco and an egg and carnitas taco. They were alright, but not enough flavor given the cost. My biggest issue, however, was with the people working. I understand that working at a quick food location in an airport isn't anybody's dream job, but at least act like you don't hate being there. Both workers brought negative vibes and were barely going through the motions. read more

Flight delayed at Midway, so stopped for a quick bite. Such a disappointment This location is nothing like the downtown location. Limited menu, and as the other review said, you are left to wing it on toppings. Taco wet and tortilla fell apart. I have to question if this location is run by the original owners. If not, they should take their name off the place. If they own this location, they should be ashamed to serve sub-par food. There is nothing special at this location. Also should consider hiring more staff. One person filling orders and running the register. Should have read the other Yelp reviews before assuming this locale would be up to the Big and Littles I remember. read more

One of the better places to eat in Midway Airport, but it still hasn't completely escaped The Curse. Though the neighborhood-based versions of this chain have a nice variety of tasty and mostly inauthentic tacos, they seem to have a bit of a freshness or turnover problem here. My tortillas were hard and greasy; my fillings looked a little sad when they were sprinkled into my tacos and became a congealed mess by the time we took off; and who ever thought tacos were good airplane food? Okay, you might blame the last point on me for taking my tacos on to the airplane rather than eating them in hand immediately. But surely I can't be the only person with a flight boarding at 11:20 who is looking for a bite to take with me. read more

The tacos weren't too bad. It was almost $18 for four tacos, which is pretty pricey in my opinion. They were out of all of their fish and shrimp, which is what they are known for. I got the following: Chicken tinga - it was ehh Spicy beef - this was good because of the spicy Mexican beef - this was probably the best because of the Thai sauce they put on it. Al pastor - I don't think this was even al pastor, there were no pineapples, which the menu said it would have. The meat was dry and funky. The service was a two star, but the food is a three star. I was early for my flight, so I was patient with waiting, but there was absolutely no sense of urgency for the employee making the orders. Very slow moving and having a conversation with the cashier completely stopping whatever it is she was doing with fulfilling the orders. For those who were in the long line and short on time I'm sure they were very upset. Many people left while I was waiting. read more

Good tacos for airport food! 3 Shrimp Taco (Bowl) -Requested this to be a taco bowl. The shrimp pieces were huge, juicy, and bouncy. Each 'taco' comes with 4 shrimps that the employee counted individually. Times are tough. My condiments came with lettuce, cocktail sauce, and onions. It was healthy and satisfying! Pastor - Average for airport food. Dry. Other observations - Don' t order the whitefish (grilled or fried). They looked the same and were stale looking. Most of the employees working are clueless and can't tell the difference between the meats in front of them or what to do if someone said lettuce instead of mixed greens. read more

I was caught off guard by how good the tacos were. When you look at the menu it says the tacos are 2.39 but the poke is 6.39 which i will gladly pay if the food is good and it was. The spicy beef I'd say is bold with a kick. It was spicy but I was still able to enjoy the flavor of tje beef and the crisp fresh vegies. The Ahi poke was great, sauces were great, the cut of fish was great. I would highly recommend either one of these as I will for sure be back when I'm in town. read more

I spend an disproportionate amount of time in airports, and as a result I'll argue that I hate airport food more than just about anyone. With that context in mind, Big & Little's isn't awful, which is worth two stars in an age where the airport average is rightfully about one and a half. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Big & Little's Restaurant uses the Chipotle-style assembly line for their tacos, which is telling as to how many of their offerings share ingredients. That's neither here nor there but notable nonetheless and I'll loop around to that in a minute. Anywho, the service is fast, which is a necessity in an airport. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Four medium sized tacos at Big & Little's ran me $14.60 or $3.65 each, which is honestly not insane for airport tacos. If I'm full for under $20 in an airport I'm pretty happy. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? So - no. These weren't good. I probably should have been scared away by the various meats in heating tins that all looked the same, but in addition to all looking the same these tacos all tasted like overcooked oversalted generic meats, which didn't go particularly well and wasn't saved by the salsas or weak peripherals. Nah. No Stars. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Chicago Midway airport continues to be in my mind a bit of a culinary wasteland, which isn't unlike most airports in this country. No Star. read more

BIG & little's Restaurant - 4 Tacos: $3.65 each - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The taste is probably a 4. I got the ahi tacos and the shrimp tacos and it ended up being around 12 bucks (a little pricey). I Waited probably 15-20 minutes in line and the line wasn't long at all but the staff were extremely slow. There was only one person doing all the toppings/veggies and they definitely needed another person. There was also too much sauce on the tacos. They did fill me up on the ahi (which Was expected given that I was paying 3 more dollars for it). The menu wasn't clear with prices. I also didn't expect the ahi tacos to have a crunchy shell. Overall decent airport food but idk if I'd do go again next time. read more

This is a great addition to the unstable stable of restaurants at Midway. With the big upheaval about a year ago, they've been hard pressed to offer anything more than chains, even though some are local. This particular local chain ups the game at Midway and offers an option you'll actually look FORWARD to visiting. The team is sharp, engaging, and friendly...not the usual food service corp staffers you see at many airport food pit stops. They offer good suggestions and really genuine in wanting your experience to be positive. I got three tacos for $10.99 and the portion size was decent, ingredients were high quality and, most importantly everything tasted great! My theme was pork so I went with the Hawaiian pork, the Carnitas, and the Mango Chutney pork tacos. Hard to decide which was best but I'm giving the nod to the Hawaiian as it was a decent Kailua type pork. All in all, I'll be back for more at BIG &Little's in the B Concourse...even if my flight leaves from A or C! :-) read more

It's pretty decent. I wouldn't eat there again if it were out in the street. Seems better than typical airport food though, and the price is good for airport food. I had 2 Mexican spicy eggs tacos and one carnitas eggs taco. $8.78 Pros: Now that I've eaten them, I don't regret it. Flavor was 5 of 10. The carnitas was decent shredded pork. Sauce was straightforward and the tacos were not drenched. Tortillas were ok, double, corn, soft. Tomatillo sauce was tasty. Generous on the jalepenos. The tacos stayed together during the 15 minutes I hauled them around in search of coffee. I am full now, and awake. Cons: Eggs were a bit wet and bland from microwave (but didn't make tortillas soggy, thankfully) They were small for the price, $8.78, but still not the most expensive airport food. Wish the tortillas were steamed. Wish there was a beans or rice side I will roll on over to Concourse B next time I'm at Midway. read more

This may be a little far fetched but I'm confident in stating that this is the best meal I've ever had in an airport outside of a private lounge. I ordered two shrimp tacos & an order of truffle fries (not pictured) & I was happy albeit my expectations being extremely low because I mean let's be honest, this is an airport. Embarrassingly this is my first time at a Big & Little's establishment but I'd def return. The dish was simple yet well excuted with very bold flavors that complimented each other especially the lime. The truffle fries were a combination of what I assume was garlic & truffle oil & were a decent sized portion. They were served on corn tortillas which were the only option & there's a buffet like assortment of toppings for your choosing. As a bonus they also serve Stella Artois beer here as well read more

BIG & little's Restaurant - Two shrimp tacos - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I stopped by here two Friday mornings ago while on a layover in Midway. Big & Littles is one of the newer additions to the overhaul of the food at Midway and is a local restaurant chain in Chicago. Since this location is in the airport, there isn't much to say about it. You queue up, place your order whenever it is your turn and then get your food and pay at the register. The only things that stood out about it were the yellow and white hexagonal backsplash and then the photo of what must have been the big and little that the store was named after. For breakfast on this occasion I decided to order three different tacos (only $2 a pop). I went with the Samurai Egg, Mexican Egg and Spicy Egg. All of the tacos came on corn tortillas (2) with egg. The menu describes the Samurai egg as lettuce, jalepeno, special sauce and Samurai sauce. It clearly was a nod to the Japanese as one of those sauces tasted suspiciously like a teriyaki and it also had sesame seeds on it. As weird as it may sound, this was my favorite of the bunch and I really liked the sesame seeds on the egg. The menu describes the Mexican egg as onion, cilantro, cheddar and tomatillo sauce. This one ended up being my second favorite as I really loved the acidic nature and flavor of the tomatillo sauce. Last but certainly not least is the spicy egg which the menu describes as onion, cilantro and spicy Thai sauce. As you can guess, it was my least favorite because I didn't really care for the sauce. Still, I can't say that I was sad that I had tried it. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. As a matter of a fact I may recommend it to my wife the next time we head through MDW in the morning. My tacos were good and I like that they are combining traditional and non traditional with them. read more

You know a place is going to be good when the staff (as they are making your taco with carnitas on it) says, "I don't like these carnitas, I like the real ones." Really sold it for me. I mean, I know it's 7:45 AM... but come on. Secondly, they gave us tacos with no fixings. Didn't ask if we wanted them. People were coming back to the counter to ask for salsa on the side and I understand why - the tacos were very dry. I ate it anyway because I needed to eat before my flight, and it wasn't bad. Just super dry. The girls who were working in the morning obviously didn't care and made it seem like more of an inconvenience for us to be asking for food (I mean honestly, how dare us). Put some pep in your step, morning staff. read more
