Best caldo de rez and amazing burritos. Also get the el pastor tacos. Quick service. No frills but damn good food.

This whole resturant is so rude and does not have any customer service at all ! Do not tip these ladies. Food is mid too nothing out of this world. If I can give them a zero I would. read more

Had the taco dinner with 1 al pastor and 2 asada tacos. They are just alright. I really like that the tacos are full of meat and come with a double tortilla. Your order comes out pretty quickly too. The Jamaica water from here is my favorite. read more

El Nuevo Taconazo Restraurant - 3 Tacos Dinner Special - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Skirt steak was mostly fat on my burrito and for the price I was more than disappointed. Seemed more like a vegetarian burrito with a side of meat. My partner's torta and my burrito had all the beans and sour cream to one side with reheated meat. When they're super busy I give them a chance but it was empty and now I see why. My flour tortilla was also burnt. read more

They literally stole my taco, I ordered takeout 3 tacos and only got 2. When I called to complain and ask for my money back. They said I could go get a new taco... now I'm here and they say no sorry we can't honor that. Wtf... last time I go there! read more

Really let me down. Went years and ordered from there. They made a mistake and refused to correct the order. Horrible manager.

Honestly wasn't the best torta I've had , it felt like it was missing some components to me. The chips were stale and lack salt. The price was good for what it was. The carne asada burrito my pal had come to a 4/5 but for me the below par torta got left in my car because it was forgettable. 2/5 read more

El Nuevo Taconazo Restraurant - 3 Tacos Dinner Special - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

OPEN LATE everyday. Tacos(asada/pastor) and tortas are good. I'd recommend this place during the week as a spot to grab some quick food in the late night. I've dined in once the place is your normal taqueria. Very clean on my visit. read more

Instead of a receiving check, tell the cashier your table number and she will ring you up. I ordered 2 tacos (el pastor and lamb) and one quesadilla con carne (I assume the carne was beef). All 3 items were good, but the lamb taco particularly stood out with a generation helping of sweet, tender meat. A plate of chips and a selection of 3 salsas to start made the meal even better. It is not something one expects in a place this casual. read more

Filling burrito, not too salty and loved the variety of salsas that came with! All were tasty. Would definitely come back. read more

This low a rating for such an iconic taqueria is embarrassing, this place is always great. The prices have gone up quite a bit but the selection of salsas are amazing and the food is always great. Love this place so many happy memories here. The service is always extremely efficient and speedy. read more

fast food type and greasy! service was mediocre. I have eating in many places similar to this one, but it does not come near to reasonable quality. read more

I have seen the price go up a lot here latley i do like the food here but the price is a bit too expensive i would still go once in a while but i would not make this my spot i would begin looking for another spot where price is more reasonable read more

El taconazo, I love the tacos and I definitely wanna "taco" bout it. Sometimes I come in here for a quick bite that will never disappoint. Super easy to get to place with a small lot. The restaurant itself is a medium sized one with about 15 tables. They serve a ton of different foods but I am talking about their taco and torta game. Which is on point. So on arrival you get a big container with compartments that have different types of salsa. Homemade tortilla chips which are always fresh and if you're lucky, warm fresh out the fryer. The different types of salsa gives me the variety that I need. I always order the chile relleno taco, asada and alpastor. I order them with avocado because, why not? The service is fast as hell and ,my man friend gets the milanesa torta and love it as well. The tacos are on the smaller side so feel free to order more than one. This place is clean, and the pricing is reasonable. Open late for your convenience. read more

I came here on a Sunday for lunch and really enjoyed the quick service and great prices. The Tacos are ~$2.50 each and include a generous portion size. These tacos are very authentic. The favorite was the Al Pastor. I also got the Chile Relano and Vegetarian taco. I was not a huge fan of the Chile Relano as it was very greasy. The rice and beans are excellent and I LOVED the FOUR FREE SALSAS they bring out with chips when you sit down. All in all this place is a very authentic, quick service restaurant in a convenient location. I will return and try the soups next time. read more

Food here is ok.Not bad.They are located at a major intersection and they do have a big parking lot.Parking is easy.Food is mediocre.Good enough to keep me from starving.Their agua de horchata was delicious though.If youre looking for FANTASTIC TACOS in Pilsen just head on over to RUBI'S TACOS.Nuff said. read more

My first experience here was maybe 8 years ago. I didn't like it too much. Gave TacoNazo another shot a few month back and I'm here a few times a month. This place is opened until 2AM on weekdays and 4AM on weekends. My go-to for tacos in the Pilsen area, post gym meal, and late night munchies; ya really can't go wrong. The Food - Taco portions are generous, taste is consistent. I usually go with Taco de Lomo an Taco de bistec. Prices are $2.25 - $2.5 per taco. The service - Great service, haven't had any bad experience even if I go at 1AM or when the restaurant has a line out the door. Very efficient workers overall. Pricing - Reasonable pricing $2 - $3 per taco depending on what you get, burritos are a good size. You get your bang for your buck here. Parking - Plaza parking lot, spots are a bit tight, never had a problem finding parking no matter what hour I go. Overall - My go to taco spot in the Pilsen area. Highly recommended. read more

When did this place get so expensive? 17$ for a taco dinner and a large horchata!! Food is good but there's other places better for this type of money! read more

Staff is nice but the food is always a hit or miss. Sometimes it's amazing and sometimes it's just straight awful and soggy. Today is my last time here due to inconsistency. I just had the WORST burrito here I ever had and I've been going here for 4+ years. The burrito was so soggy that it was leaking with tomate juice, the beans were watery, and avocados were brown. It seemed like they straight to didn't care. There are better places than here. I rather spend my money elsewhere. read more

This place is Super! And pretty authentic. After one crazy summer living in Cuernavaca, México, I fell in love with the City of Eternal Spring and its famous puerco al pastor. This joint is the first I've found in the United States in SIX YEARS that does al pastor the REAL way - on a spindle. ¡Riquisimo! Al pastor is a kabob-style way of cooking pork. Like the Greek gyro kabob and the German donor kabob, pork al pastor is traditionally cooked vertically on a huge spindle. A mexicano al pastor kabob is made of a hundred or more thin layers of marinated pork with juices dripping down the sides. A full al pastor kabob is the size of a small to medium sized billygoat. For a look inside este paradiso, check out mis fotos. I had chips and salsa, 3 tacos and waitress service, and my tab was $5.95 with tax. P.S. You may want to be extra specific when ordering the Rib Eye Taco. My ribeye taco came with taste buds. Cash only. read more

Have been a longtime customer of this place and they have never let me down. Really generous with portions and quality of food is solid. I'm a fan of their birria and al pastor. Their table side salsas are delicious and overall can't go wrong with this location read more

This is based on my last experience, I ordered for take out (COVID). After I get home 10 minutes after, I realize there was a Gordita that was not included in my meal. I checked my receipt and sure enough, they were able to bill me for it. When I called, all I received was a "you're right, I forgot to order it, would you like to come back for it?" No apology, no offer to bring it to me, considering the rest of the food that was ordered would now be eaten cold or microwaved. When I went in to pick it up, about 3 people said they had no idea what I was talking about. Even when the rest of the order was found, still no apology for the inconvenience or the fact that the other $40 worth of food would now be less warm when eaten based on THEIR mistake. read more

So good! Like, so damn good! Love this place. I love pretty close stop by often because it's a place where I know I can get great tacos, for a good price, and receive excellent customer service. I would highly recommend! read more

This is my second time writing a review for this restaurant . After many years after my unpleasant experience with them, nothing has changed. The meat here is difficult to chew, the service was bad, and the way my food was prepared was upsetting. You won't fool me the third time, taconazo read more

Literally the best carne asada burrito I've had in a LONG time. Burrito's are $8, mine had steak, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, tomato. The burrito had so much flavor and was well worth the price. There was a lot of steak and it was seasoned well. I'll be back! read more

It was day one of Riot Fest 2015, the fest had ended for the night and Uber was at 4x. A couple guys wanted food so badly they were hopping from one fast food location to the next hoping they would sell something to the hungry at their drive-up window. In case it isn't clear, they were walking up to the drive-thru. Needless to say, but down in that hood, no one was entertaining that notion. So, to Toconazo we went. One of the guys had asked, does this place have a good rating? Someone responded, who cares.. it's the South side, Mexican food is better down here. The place comes off as being "a la carte". If dining in, take a seat and wait to be helped with menus. After you've dined, approach the counter and tell them what you've eaten. Tabs are rung up by what's been ordered and by whom. (I would bet some waiters get "stiffed" with some bills.) I only ordered something because the rest of the group was and sitting outside wasn't as comfortable. (I wasn't much interested.) Didn't check reviews but made my assessment off of the smells inside. (Also, I had an extremely satisfying al pastor burrito from Primo Chucki's on the Northside, earlier in the day. Which was devoured around 2 pm and somehow, I was still content.) It didn't smell too good inside. Weird smells in different areas of the restaurant. Ya know when a business first moves into a location, I expect that they call a decent maid service and bleach the shit out of everything.. That's what I expect though I don't believe that was the case. Regarding the restroom, I wouldn't use it even if diarrhea depended on it. Food was edible. On some walls are food photos and I wondered whether we were ordering the correct items. You know, like maybe this place is known not for tacos but for menudo or stews. Everyone ordered something because the guys wanted to dine in. Flautas, tacos and guacamole. Chips and salsa were served on the house, I think. If not for the assorted salsas, this would be a 2 star review. When the guac hit the table, I was a little disappointed to see the same tortilla chips (from the bowl) used as garnish. After eating a bowl of okay chips, you kinda want something different. Ya' know? I ordered a lengua taco which was decent. The flautas were alright, though I would never order them again.. from here. As said previously, food was okay just like the service was okay, except for a few items being forgotten or just, not addressed. The experience was meh, but by the time we finished, we got a Lyft fairly quickly and for a decent rate. And that's about it. read more

This location is simply okay. They always mess up the ingredients I order on my tacos.

The tacos here are average. The prices are low. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's convenient and I have no complaints. The staff is always super nice. During the corona pandemic they are all in masks and require a mask to go in. I feel very safe eating here, which I can't say about a lot of restaurants right now. read more

Fist time visiting this location. I am a north-sider and lately, its getting harder and harder to find a true still true to its root Mexican taqueria as most now seem to cater to the non-hispanic crowd. Everything we had here was tasty....really liked the homemade tortillas and the hot chocolate/tamarindo water was very good. We had good service and the place looked pretty clean. I think that the people who rate it low has to come to the north side and they will see that in comparison, this place is pretty high up there. The only thing I was not too pleased with was that my taco de lomo was a little too charred for my liking but the caldo my husband ordred and tacos de lengua for my kids were tasty. read more

Just finished eating here and they charged me for my meal on top of charging me for ordering food? I'm still confused on how they did this. According to staff they can change the prices whenever and however they want. Last I checked their menu doesn't say market prices. Never going back. service read more

WOOOOHHHHHHH..... First time here. Super My food was excellent and so was the service. Loved that the waitress wasn't up our ass but was also very at tentative. Definitely coming back. The tacos de tripitas were worth the drive. Thank you guys! Great Job! read more
