Finally made it over to Bigwig Tacos in River North after a late night out it was my first time at any of their locations, and it was a great call. Definitely a solid late-night option. The setup is similar to Chipotle where you go down the line and build your order, but they were still running things smoothly even around 2 a.m., which I appreciated. I went with a bowl plus chips and queso. The bowl hit the spot when I got home, and honestly, the queso was amazing easily one of the better ones I've had in a while. Chips were super fresh too. All around, really solid experience. Fast service, good portions, and great flavor can't ask for much more from a late-night spot. read more

I came here around 2am and couldn't have been more happier with my experience. The lady at the front was so kind and catered to all of our needs. It's fast casual, so you can take your food to go or even sit inside. The tacos are BOMB!! I got carne asada tacos and it comes with the meat, cheese, onion and cilantro on a tortilla. Both of the salsas were also soo good. Honestly a good thing I don't live in Chicago or I'd be here everyday!!! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Such great tacos! This is a go to for me whether it's something light or late. Flavor, authenticity and simplicity. The staff is always kind and it's made to order. read more

It was a long wait but worth it. I definitely would stop by if I'm in the area again.

The "undefeated burrito" is the worst thing I've ever eaten... my dog wouldn't even eat it. I normally don't write reviews but because I've completely lost my money and appetite, i thought i'd share. Big wig tacos do better. read more

I love the tacos I can't get the taste out my mouth. I get it uber eats to my house most of the time. Must try to Horchata. The service is all fast and happy to serve you. read more

Decent tacos, nothing crazy and maybe a tad overpriced. Ordered three chorizo tacos which comes with cilantro, diced onions, and cheese. The place has enough seating and is relatively clean. A little out of the way for me to come back, but have seen it several times so wanted to give it a try when I could. read more

I spent a good amount of money on 6 tacos and guacamole and chips. About $40 bucks. Got home to realize my order was wrong. The ingredient I asked to exclude was slathered all over my order. No contact information for a refund. I'm a regular customer which will change after this and this is super inconvenient and a waste of money. read more

I ordered "The Undefeated" super burrito and felt defeated the second I opened the aluminum foil it was encased it. This was hands down THE most sad and unsatisfying burrito I've had in my life. The queso was runny, the lettuce wilted, and lastly while the chicken was good - clearly inflation is doing a number on Big Wig tacos because I was given maybe 2 tablespoons of chicken if that. Run - don't walk away from Big Wig Tacos and to your nearest Chipotle for better service, better ingredients, and a better quality of life. read more

Love Big Wig Tacos I keep coming back because of their tacos, drinks, and sides. I'm obsessed with the steak, Mahi Mahi, and Barbacoa tacos. I get mine with no cheese, just cilantro and onions--simple, fresh, and SO flavorful. Pair them with the green sauce or their new avocado, cilantro, lime sauce (an absolute hit)! Their new strawberry horchata is a must-try. It's creamy, sweet, and gives major strawberry milk vibes, but with that horchata twist The rice and beans are perfection, and the guacamole with chips is fresh and satisfying every time. They're open until 5 AM, making it the perfect late-night bite. Parking, though... let's just say it's a gamble. Have someone wait in the car or stick to pick-up (their indoor seating is an option if you're lucky enough to snag parking). Oh the staff is always sooo friendly and keep the establishment clean. They individually wrap the tacos and I was hungry so will post the tacos on my next visit. The meat is really tender in my opinion for the steak tacos. Overall, Big Wig Tacos delivers every time with bold flavors and quality food. Whether it's dinner or a post-night-out feast, this spot has you covered read more

1 Star - Disrespectful and Discriminatory Treatment I came with my two cousins to order tacos and was immediately greeted at the door by two officers and a manager named Nicole. She informed us that only online orders were being accepted. We respected that and began walking back to the car. However, just moments later, Nicole allowed two Caucasian girls to enter and place their orders in person. I walked back to the door to politely ask why they were being served while we were turned away, and Nicole completely ignored me. I even recorded her taking their order after we were denied entry. This review is to say: go where your money is respected. I've worked in the food industry for over 10 years, and my aunt owns a restaurant -- we would never treat customers this way or show favoritism. This was a terrible experience and completely unacceptable behavior from management. Do better. 1 star. read more

Customer service is amazing, always welcoming and patient when ordering. Now those taco...DELICIOUS, AMAZING, meat seasoned perfectly and not skimpy with the protein (we only get cilantro & cheese because we usually have leftovers because we are so full and it's easier to warm up). Plenty of seating and always clean. Open until 4am read more

The food always good I want a bowl now And the service is always expected never had a problem. 10 stars There always packed that's how you know there good and the drinks always hit the spot. In my top 3 of taco joints read more

One of the best late night spots in the area. Service is always friendly and nice and the meat of their tacos is so perfectly made!

I haven't been here in a couple months. Ordered 3 tacos asada with an orange Mexican drink for $21. The tacos had no steak. Loaded with lettuce tomato cheese . Really sad what happens to these places. They were the smallest tacos u could imagine. Won't be trying my luck here anymore. Plus they are extremely oily read more

So gooodd, open 24/7 staff was amazing and super nice highly recommend especially for late night eats

It was out first night in Chicago for our weekend get alway. We needed a good meal after our long drive and Big Wig didn't disappoint. The wife and I both love horchata and Big Wig had some of the best we've had. My wife got the Nachos. The portion was huge and they were full of flavor. I got three chicken tacos. The tacos with the mild sauce were fire. The chicken in my tacos was cubed chicken. It isn't my favorite way to eat chicken but it was still good. I also love that they stay open late so if you're having a late night on the town you can stop in for some tacos. read more

Ok food. Not so good customer service. Worked in service industry for a long time never seen it this bad.

I did an online order on Thursday and everything was seamless. Their tacos are delicious and hearty with lots of options for ingredients. The food is priced right but if you want extra anything you will have to pay. I will return for the bowl. I want to build my own masterpiece! read more

I would buy 4 steak tacos few times a week my favorite but i have to say the place was sold and taco prices went up and a lot less meat in tacos now. Not worth going here any longer. I thought it was me but went tonight again and tacos are so small even meats is lot smaller as well portion. Taco Mayo down street with lot more meat and cheaper. people are power with no business they may change there tune. read more

Ordered delivery from big wig tonight. The veggie burrito was ok. I got it with beans, rice, cheese, lettuce, jalapenos, etc. First of all, the burrito was a lot smaller than I had expected. So one burrito wasn't completely filling. For $15 per burrito, that seems pretty disappointing. More importantly, the sparse ingredients and or flavor absence of those ingredients made for a burrito that was kind of meh. The sauces that come on the side were fine and they helped by adding some taste. But overall it was just ok. read more

Reminds me of a chipotle. It's like a taco place with chipotle self service vibes. Food is alright, and I forget her name, but the cashier was super sweet. read more

After a late night out, we decided to go to Big Wig Tacos for a meal before catching the train! It was super quick service, and the tacos were delicious!! Definitely get the horchata!! They were so nice and upgraded my fiancées drink for no additional charge! read more

The night crew in Logan Square do not speak English and apparently don't know their job either it was the worst experience!

Don't get me wrong, Big Wig has some fire food, but I made an order through DoorDash and their marketing is very misleading. What I thought I ordered was 3 tacos, because the picture in the menu showed 3 tacos, but when my dasher came with 1 taco, I became enraged. I may have been an idiot thinking I was paying $9 for 3 tacos, but the poor marketing by DoorDash and this establishment got me angry. I've been working all day and just wanted some tacos. read more

Greasy as all get-out. No silverware given for my quesadilla which was sitting in a pool of grease. Got a fork which immediately broke. Attempted to eat with my hands and ruined a shirt. No flavor, all grease. Disgusting. read more

Pretty good food for late night- we ordered ours around 11p when most everything else was closed. It probably is slightly better fresh just due to how chips and tortilla respond to warmth from queso and sauce, but definitely quick and fair price. read more

First time and I was pleased! Got a chicken, steak and chorizo taco and took them home as I had my pup with me. The chicken and steak each had lots of flavor but I wouldn't get the chirozo again. Seemed over cooked and I just didn't care for it. Will come again. read more

Mixed review. I am not a fan of tacos like this. I grew up with tacos filled with flavored meat, refried beans, black olives, tomato and lettuce. To me, tacos with just meat, onion and cilantro are not a real dinner. My friend from Chicago thinks Big Wig are the best in the city. The meat is well cooked (overcooked to me) and is appropriately accompanied by almost nothing. He thinks the size is also good. Really small in my opinion but I'm used to 12" shells not ones maybe 7". If you a fan of minimalistic street tacos, my friend swears these are the best. If you are used to loaded tacos, look somewhere else. read more

I love big wig tacos. They are so kind and so great. The employees at River north were so helpful to me when I placed a wrong order. 10/10 service !! read more

Fantastic al pastor and chicken tacos. Rice and beans are tasty too. Amazing guacamole. Friendly service!

Really disappointed in the flavor of the food. I actually liked that there weren't that many options, makes it a lot easier to choose what you want. I got the chicken bowl and it had way too much sour cream in it. Even with the two side salsas the flavor of the chicken was really lacking. The best part was probably the chips and guac. read more

I was making a business trip up to Chicago today and passed by BigWig. As all Chicago restaurants are parking is tough to find but these tacos are worth it. The location is centered in the heart of Chicago and has a welcoming environment! I had three tacos and chips and queso which totaled around 20 bucks with a tip. Overall the quality of the food was excellent and I was very satisfied. Service was speedy and very helpful through the selection process the only gripe I have is the price. Which resulted in my 4/5 stars. I would definitely recommend this spot and will be returning shortly! read more

They are open so late but even stopping by here at 3am, I would never come back. It's tasteless, with low flavor, and not authentic at all. It's exactly what you expect from a place named "Big Wig Tacos" Hard pass. read more

Super casual Mexican spot in River North. I ordered two barbacoa tacos and chips with guac. The tacos were good - served up street style. But I'd pass on their chips next time. They also offer some drinks but they were notably all non-alcoholic. My food came up quick and I had no problem grabbing a table to chow down. The place was basically empty early afternoon on a Saturday but a lot of people were coming and going for pick up/ take out orders. The only weird thing was a very strong cleaning smell - it wasn't very appetizing. But this could've been a one off situation. I'd still say this is a fine spot to grab casual mexican fare if you're in the area and in need of a fix. read more

this is the second time this has happened to me. I paid $26 for a bowl of chicken and steak meat with onions and cilantro. Where is the rice? They don't tell you it's no rice or nothing. They just put the meat in there and think everything's OK for $26 and I get no rice. I'm very disappointed. And I would never come there at night again because this is the second time this has happened to me. I stay too far for y'all to be playing with my food. read more
