Taco dinners, chips and guac
Mary M.

Our dinner tonight was very good from Edgewater Tacos! We took the red line, got off at Bryn Mawr and walked over. Waited about 10 min after placing our order. Staff was SO KIND and easy to chat with. We got the taco dinners. The Al pastor was maybe my favorite in the city. Chips and guac were plentiful and delicious. Will definitely be back!

What a perfect takeout spot! I loved everything I tried but specifically the Al Pastor tacos. A plus is that it looks like there's some outdoor seating on the sidewalk during the warmer months. The service is quick and the staff is nice.

"Burrito dinner" what da heck?!

Inconsistent- lousy burritos.... Bottom of the barrel meat without seasonings. This is the most disappointing burrito I have ever bought in my life. Edgewater Tacos- on a Friday night before the big rush you couldn't even serve a proper burrito. This is bad- real bad. Your rice even tastes like burnt popcorn. YOU GOOD????

Vegan Soy Chorizo Tacos
JL J.

Vegan Gem in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. Excellent vegan tacos. Some very interesting flavors. The tacos have amazing variances in texture and a variety of flavors in a bite sweet, sour, tangy and just a little bit of heat. I can't wait to try more options!

The counter where you order at Edgewater Tacos

Best Tacos in Edgewater for sure. As good as any place on the north side. Always friendly, and a great grab and go place. Not a sit down restaurant, but better than those for Mexican.

Chorizo (bottom) and Al Pastor (top)
Mark T.

I leave here wishing two things: 1. That it wasn't a 90° day. Great beach weather, but hot fresh tacos not so much! I was hungry, okay? The specifics are unimportant. 2. That the Pico de Gallo was a little less confusing. Well, to be honest, it's not so much confusing as just made in a food processor. Same ingredients going the same place, more a texture thing than anything. The tacos themselves were done simply, but done well. Onion, cilantro, protein. Everything is well balanced and meat is not skimped on. The Chorizo had a pleasant bite/kick to it. The Al Pastor wasn't groundbreaking, but was cooked well, and the bits of pineapple were appreciated. While there was what I assume to be a Jalapeño-based hot sauce on the side, it wasn't enough to make the tacos next-level. It added a little moisture and acid, but what was really needed was fat. A little crema would've worked wonders. Finally, limited seating is available outdoors only, and it seems much more grab and go than anything else. Where it comes to the service, I found it solid and appropriately fast. Also, while I got the flour I would've requested - would have been nice if I was asked. Thus, while I don't see myself giving out awards for best taco, and I do not see it as a destination, it is a fine option for a quick grab and go lunch.

They truly go above and beyond to make sure they deliver great customer service. They'll do little things like offer you a free taco of their Birria while you wait for your food. Go to any market in Mexico and they'll treat you the exact same. Unfortunately for them their original Southside location is closed due to a fire but they'll be back hopefully soon! My son and daughter both ordered their Birria Tacos, my wife ordered their Quesabirria tacos and I ordered their Tazon Chico of their carnaza Birria of course. It also came with a side of their handmade tortillas. Everything tasted so fresh and the Birria was very delicious. So much flavor in the consome. Ordering the tazon is definitely they way to go here because you get the meat in the consome. But if you wanted meat only, you have the option of ordering their plato instead. Regardless of what you order here, you won't go wrong. Enjoy!

In a way it felt like a makeshift restaurant with an urban warehouse vibe, big colorful signage on the walls, folding chairs and card tables make up the interior. It was very busy, almost every seat taken and the staff was running around taking orders with a smile delivering food and seemed to be having fun too. This is the kind of ENERGY I love!! There is a separate bar for drinks. The juices are freshly made in house, the horchata was highly recommended and apparently always sells out. I might have gotten the last glass of the night, the guy who ordered right after me couldn't get it. My quesoburrias and chicken quesadilla were very filling, and honestly I didn't need to order three, I left overstuffed haha... the waiter says I should try the shrimp tacos and cod next time. (Yelp tip:) He also told me that on Tuesdays from open til close it's BOGO on all tacos but there's always a line. Oh I'm definitely going to be back for this! Might be one of my most enjoyable meals in the city in 2026 so far!
