    I really love this place! Fun vibes, festive decor, fresh food, and fast and friendly service. This place is always lively and I see why. I've been here a few times and it's delicious. The people are friendly and the food is excellent. So far I've tried their bowls and their tacos. I had a Pronto box with two tacos, with refried beans and rice. So good! The meats are very tender and flavorful. I also love their steak bowl. I love tacos and these really live up to the hype. My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken quesadillas too. Very flavorful and a generous amount of cheese. The guacamole is phenomenal!! Wow! The horchata is yummy and the sangria is good too. Their green salsa is fantastic and the right amount of spicy. Really good food and very reasonable prices. A great neighborhood spot. I'll be a regular.

    We were restaurant hopping and this was one of our stops. First of all the service was great and fast. The restaurant has a hole in the wall vibe and set up. The taco was decent but not something I'd love to keep coming back for. They do have horchata that allow for one refill which was the main reason we stopped by cause we were craving for a sweet treat!

    Look I live in Chicago Illinois, having tacos, prepared by and served from people from ts place of its origin is not unusual. Thus when I find a joint that is clearly geared to western audiences And still find a taco satisfying that's always a pleasant surprise. Anyway, I'm writing this review like two weeks later(Yelp kept on bugging me) so my memory isn't as good. I remember however that the Al Pastor was amazing- it came with pineapples. That alone is worth the trip.

    We were pleasantly surprised! We had to find a quick place near the Auditorium before the performance and so glad we found Flaco's! They were so fast and it was very yummy and very reasonably priced! We will definitely be back!

    Always see a lot of people dining in so decided to give it a shot. Definitely did not match up to my expectations. Food was not great and did not feel fresh either .. tacos Maya or Dos Bros is a much better option.

    Tasty authentic Mexican food! This location is super cute and has many seating options. The staff is super friendly, has amazing recommendations, and served us very quickly. Tried the ancho-chicken bowl, it was very savory and everything melded together. Also tried the mini burrito platter with 2 chicken and 2 steak! They were delicious and perfect for someone who wants to try different flavors. They have an amazing selection of Mexican soda and horchata as well. Prices are also on the lower end considering the area. Highly recommend!

    Look at those big chucks of avacado slices!

    Printer's Row isn't just about print shops and literature. It's got some spice! It's close to Grant Park, and has a cozy bookstore across the street to boot! After the annual Printer's Row Lit Fest, I was ready to eat a horse! But, I ended up at this kitschy joint. The service was friendly. Although they made a mistake on my order, they corrected it swiftly and said I could keep the burrito. That's how you provide Good customer service and retain patronage. I love the freshness of all the vegetables and herbs, and the large slices of avocados. The Horchata was meh. If you want great Horchata, go to Carbon on 26th St. I will give this place a 3.5 star for the fresh ingredients, the friendly service, the vibe and the location.

    Nice staff and quick service--a great neighborhood spot. The chips and salsa were a solid choice. I almost got full on the chips alone because they were so addicting (oily and crunchy, YUM) I really liked their tacos, especially the shrimp tacos. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sauce complemented them nicely.

    Visited Flaco's Tacos for lunch with two friends. The cashier greeted us and provided menus. There also is a self service kiosk. I opted for the kiosk since it included pictures. It was very simple to order food from the kiosk. I opted to try two different types of tacos, Al Pastor and Street Corn Chicken. Prices are very reasonable. My order was brought to my table within minutes of ordering. Both tacos were delicious. I preferred the Al Pastor. One of my friends ordered a basket of chips for our table. The chips were crisp and delicious. I definitely enjoyed my visit to Flaco's Tacos and will visit again if I am in the area. I recommend visiting the restaurant.

    If I could give this place 10 stars I would. They're so polite to me every time I come in (which is a lot since I live around the corner!) To-go bottled margaritas & their chicken burritos have me kicking my feet every weekend in excitement. A little pricey but nothing that tastes this good doesn't come without a hefty price! Try all of their to-go margaritas!!

    The food was delicious, and the service was quick. The staff was super friendly, and the manager was very attentive. She ensured we enjoyed our food and drinks. Must try the margaritas - they're a 10 out of 10!!! Recommend going during the day and will definitely come back.

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.
