So happy I finally tried this place for lunch! I got the carne asada taco dinner, and it was such a great meal for a great price. The rice and beans were so yummy, a telltale sign of a good taco place! The tacos themselves were so flavorful and the meat was nice and tender. Ordered with Grubhub and the food arrived still warm and perfectly on time. I'll definitely order again!
Great, authentic food! We ordered 12 tacos and they were done in less than 10 minutes. Will definitely be coming back!
Phenomenal menu options, and everything is delicious. We were looking for authentic tacos, and this place delivered. The Windy City fries blew my entire medula.
I read that they have different owners. I came here a long time ago but the layout was completely different at that time. I decided to revisit. I ordered quesobirrias meal and 3 tacos (pastor, cecina, and camarones). The quesobirrias meal comes with rice and beans or French fries. The quesobirrias were decent. I was disappointed with the consomme because there was no flavor. I had consomme at other places and their flavor was very robust. The 3 tacos (pork, thin sliced steak, and shrimp all tasted pretty good. Prices were fair. Service was good.
3.5 but rounding up to 4. A friend picked Chicago Style Taco Shop to check out for a weekday dinner and we enjoyed our time here. This small taco shop offers authentic mexican tacos and is known for their dorado tacos (similar to birria tacos). This is a casual spot that can seat up to 30ish people. Service was quick - I ordered via the front counter with a staff member and within 10 mins my food was ready to be devoured. They do have a CC fee (I think it's about 4%), that's pretty standard for most places. If you have time - I recommend bringing cash to avoid this fee. If dining in there is a salsa bar that which was a nice touch. I decided to try 3 tacos - a quesabirria with barbacoa, a chicken taco and an al pastor (pork) taco. All their tacos come with corn tortillas and served with cilantro and onion. My favorite was the quesabirria. In order to get the consome you must order the 3 of em, since I ordered 1 I didn't get the consome. My friend DID order 3 quesabirrias so thankfully I was able to try it. The consome was VERY good and hot (temperature).
These were the 2nd worst al pastor tacos ($3.41 when ordered on their website on Taco Tuesday) I've ever had. Dry/old, not much meat compared to other restaurants, fatty, and very burnt. We also got the al pastor sope ($4.73) and burrito ($9.71). There was a fat piece the size of a silver dollar in the burrito. It was also one of the smallest we've gotten from a restaurant. The menu says that their burritos have lettuce, tomato, avocado, beans, cheese & sour cream, but ours was missing avocado and sour cream, and really stingy with the other ingredients. This was a hard pass for us because the food was not made with love or pride. I wouldn't serve this to family or friends. Didn't rate 1 star because the cashier was nice, the 3 included salsas were good, and I wouldn't want to discourage people from trying their birria tacos, which look appealing from the photos.
Wow, these tacos here were fireeeeee! I've seen this taco shop on Yelp before, and I was in the area so I decided to stop by for a nice taco lunch. It was around 12pm on a Sunday and no one else was in the shop besides a few people in and out picking up takeout orders. The place is clean, cozy but with enough seating, and very authentic. The staff here was great, as well; the employee who took my order was so friendly, brought me my food, asked how it was, etc. It felt like I was at a restaurant! Loved it. Now the tacos - YUM. They're known for their tacos dorados which I'm bummed I didn't get, but I'm totally coming here again to get them. Back to the normal tacos - they were authentic, fresh, hot, small, and delicious! The carne asada is finely chopped and they came with the perfect amount of onions and cilantro. The 2 salsa verdes I got on the side were also sooooo good - one was with jalapeño and the other one was a bit creamier. The total was around $9 including tax for 3 tacos (2 carne asada and 1 al pastor). I'm 100% going here again! Thank you for satisfying my taco craving, Chicago Style Taco Shop!
Best "dipping tacos" EVER!!!! Everywhere I go lately the Quesabirrira tacos don't compare to here. I mean these are the best ever! Their consume isn't thick and greasy or bland! I use to eat from their North Las Vegas location 6/7yrs ago. Once the birria craze started I bookmarked them to try out. Came in, spoke to the owner and he said they were the same establishment. THE FOOD IS GOOD YALL!! Of course the regular tacos are good, but I come in to dip! Lol The staff is friendly too!!!
I read a review that said the dorado was bland. I ordered 2 with the broth. The meal that comes with 3 would have been too much. When I first bit into it I thought hmm... Maybe it IS bland?! But wait.. So by the time I finished, I felt it was just right. The issue with too much salt is when you are done and your mouth is dry. I left feeling just fine. My son got the large horchata and the flavor was good, he said it was perfect, I thought it was a touch too sweet. I didn't see any salsa but my son doesn't use it on his tacos. I'm sure there is some. Somewhere. The people working there are nice as can be. Really. Got 1 plain and 1 strawberry churro to take home. They were also excellent.

My wife was in the mood to try Birria tacos so I came across this place via Yelp! Customer service was friendly and took my order quickly over the phone - food was ready for pick up in 10 minutes :) Standard ambiance of the taco shop with decent amount of seating. My wife got two Birria tacos and two chicken tacos - they were cooked and seasoned very well! read more

This place is an absolute hidden gem in Lombard. Tucked into a modest strip mall off Roosevelt Road, Chicago Style Taco Shop brings serious flavor that makes you feel right at home the second you walk in! We ordered the quesabirria taco dinner and were completely blown away. The tacos were crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and loaded with tender birria. And the consommé? Easily one of the best I've ever had -- rich, savory, and made for dunking. Pure taco heaven. We also tried the al pastor torta dinner with added jalapeños -- and it honestly might be the best torta I've ever had. The bread was toasted to perfection, the pork was juicy and flavorful, and the jalapeños added the perfect heat. It was messy, delicious, and worth every bite. The vibe inside is chill and casual, with a few tables and counter seating -- perfect for a quick lunch, takeout, or a relaxed dinner. You'll hear Spanish music playing, smell fresh grilled meats the moment you walk in, and be greeted by friendly staff who clearly take pride in what they do. Service was fast, super friendly, and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first time. Whether you're a taco lover or just looking for a new go-to Mexican spot in the western suburbs, Chicago Style Taco Shop delivers. Affordable prices, generous portions, and unforgettable flavor. We'll definitely be back -- and bringing friends! read more

I decided to check this place out after discovering it on Yelp. Talk about extensive menu! So many choices for meat options which is always good. I decided to try a small order of windy city fries. It was huge! I couldn't finish it all. They are basically nachos but instead of chips, they had fries as the base. Omg so good! I had chicken and it was so flavorful. They offered me sauces but I felt they were flavorful without them. I ordered a bottle of coke (real sugar yay!) to go with it. I took off one star because of the surcharge to use a credit card to pay. However, the sign is listed right on the card reader for customers to see. Staff was friendly, but I did notice with the plexiglass barrier as well as masks it was hard for some guests to hear. I would come back for a quick meal. read more

This is a small place. The food was really good! My wife got the 3 chicken flautas combo. It came with a drink, rice and beans AND a churro. She loved it all except the rice and beans. They were just bland. The flautas were served with a ton of sliced avocado on top. They have a huge quesadilla called the pizzadilla. Too bad we don't live close. We would eat here often. Next time in read more

Heard about this spot from a friend with some good recommendations so I just had to check it out to try for myself! I heard about the this place having quesabirra/consome tacos. Living in the suburbs...this is one of the hardest things to find. One of my friends had mentioned that this place had it and after ordering it; I was not disappointed. There was a lot in one portion and the cheese melts perfectly. The only thing is the bottom of the taco kept breaking apart. I also tried the carne asada fries and those did not disappoint! I ordered the small portion and it was just enough. The filling and portion was enough to get me full to where I'm content. I will have to try the other items on the menu. read more

Great taco spot if a little on the pricey side, the El dorados tacos are so good, very similar to quesa birrias, but without the cheese. The Windy City fries are also great, and the chocolate cake was beyond delicious. Check 'em out! read more

Staff was super friendly and helpful. We got the dorado (birria) tacos. They were stuffed full of barbacoa and were VERY filling. The jalapeño salsa added the perfect bit of heat. These tacos are legit. You should definitely check them out. read more

I had just checked into my hotel and just wanted something quick to eat and found this place on Yelp. I drove down and walked into this little shop. It was very quaint with four booths and just a couple of tables. You walk up and place your order and they'll call your number when it's ready. Everything seems to be fresh and they work fairly quickly. The gentleman who took care of me was pleasant and helpful as I had never been there before. He advised me that their most popular order was their Dorado tacos or their Windy City fries. As I really shouldn't be eating potatoes I chose the tacos. I ordered the dorados combo which said it came with Three tacos and a consomme with grilled onions, onion and cilantro. They end up being a type of birra taco but nothing like any I've ever had before. There is a very large bowl of consomme which is nice but it's way more than you need. The tacos had a bit of a crunch as well as an excellent chew. They also have a couple of choices of hot sauce you can put on. It was quite a good meal even if the taste was not what I expected. I actually enjoy expanding my horizons and trying different flavors so I was definitely satisfied at the end of my meal. I wouldn't mind going back and trying some of their other choices. read more

In the Suburbs?!? Barbacoa birria tacos - it's good! And not that Taco Bell half spoon filling. Meat was packed in the tacos! Flavor was great. Ate two tacos and thought last taco was going to be terrible in the microwave. Still awesome! It's a clear advantage eating on the spot vs Uber eats/take home. Was told you can pick any meat as beef was the "standard" Quesadilla cantonese - I got the small but want make that mistake again. (I mean fried pork in between cheese! What's not to love! Windy Coty Fries - wasn't my pick but had a few bites. The person who order, loved it. Funny thing went to I Love Fries in Villa Park the next day with same person and we both agreed we would come back hear vs that place. Going to have to try out a few of their other options but thinking over the past few minutes all my favorite Mexican restaurants. Only after one visit I'll easily put this at the top. Not the classy/trendy margarita/tequila kind of place. Food was cooked to order. Was a lot of phone orders (interrupting my order twice) took 10min to receive food. 4% credit card fee. read more
