    Hope D.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Nicole the manager making a transaction after we were told only online orders are being placed.

    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.

    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

The aguachiles were easily our favorite -- super fresh and full of flavor, with really well-balanced ingredients. You can tell the food is made to order and not rushed. The chips and salsa were also way better than your typical starter. The chips came out warm and crisp, and the salsa was smooth, flavorful, and super addictive. We also tried a few drinks, and they were excellent -- well-made, not overly sweet, and a great way to start the night before heading to the game. Our server was amazing -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They kept checking in at all the right times and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable even with the pre-game crowd. Definitely a great spot to hit anytime you're in the area looking for solid Mexican food and a fun vibe.

Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW. The music, the energy, the vibe inside, everyone celebrating, the drinks flowing -- it felt like the perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner spot.
