While having a lazy moment recently, I went back to Whata Taco to place an order. I ordered a two…read moretacos dinner that came with Spanish rice and frijoles. I also afforded a quesabirria that came with consome, Spanish rice, and frijoles. For the tacos, I explicitly said that I wanted cilantro and onions on the tacos only. When I got home, there were lettuce, tomato, and quesa fresca, not cilantro and onion. I ordered in Spanish, so it's disappointing that the order was wrong. The taco dinner was not bad, nevertheless. They redeemed themselves with the quesabirria, though. The steak was proper. There is still something about Wha Taco that I can't pinpoint. I can't say if it's the empty parking lot all the time or if it's something missing in the flavor. It's not a bad pla e, but something is off.

When I went inside, the customer service seemed fine, and I ordered three tacos for around $11. Unfortunately, the cashier didn't mention that I could have gotten five tacos for the same price because of a daily special I didn't notice. That left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Other than that, the tacos were very good. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this location, but it was a quick and decent option for a meal. The restaurant was clean and well maintained.

She stated they were seasoned perfectly and adding the cheese was a good choice. We both had the green sauce. They're jalapeño green sauce taste like nothing. I do wish it had more flavor because it would've enhanced the flavors of our orders. Overall, this was a pretty good experience. I would get the Carne Asada tacos next time. I hope it's not too greasy. I would come back again.

Fantastic food. All of it. The hot dogs Chicago style are a must. But the star is the beef and sausage. Like a true Chicagoan I get the COMBO WITH HOT AND SWEET BAPTIZED. My only complaint is they no longer carry the store made Parmesan Chips. They were the perfect partner to the sandwich. Please bring them back. The "Kettle Chips" are a disgrace to your freshly prepared food. We really miss the great chips you hooked us on. Bring them back. read more

Yesterday, I decided to order the party wings after ordering them previously on Saturday the day before Father's Day which that day I was satisfied with my wings. Now Tuesday, total different experience I asked for my wings fried hard which they were not. They were chewy/gummy. The wings were huge. Not the same size as they were Saturday and this time I order 20 the first time I order 6. I called in to inform them about my previous experience compared to today. All he could tell me was this was out of his hands. They have jumbo party wings which I never heard of. I asked could I bring the wings back maybe he could fry some smaller pieces for me. Because when I order Saturday and in the past I never received such giant party wings. Which are not appetizing to me at all. Without any hesitation he quickly replied there's nothing he could do about it. It was a different box. I decided to come take a look at the reviews and I see if some ppl were not satisfied with their experience to reach out so it could be corrected. Ive been coming to big city for years since the first location and I travel a far distance so I know these party wings were not the usual. Very disappointed. And when I called I feel like he could have tried to do better than telling me it's out of his hands. Very selfish and inconsiderate. Saturday I order 2 jerk, 1salmon, 4gyro, 3 buffalo, 2steak egg rolls, 6 pieces buffalo wings fried hard everything was pretty good Tuesday 20 pieces buffalo wing, cheese steak, 1 jerk egg roll side of fries buffalo wings terrible. Everything else was ok. And to be honest that type of attitude explains why the establishment is not clean how it should be. Because it's out of your hands ??!!!
