Cinco de Mayo block party
Tracy K.

First of all, the food is excellent. One taco with the fried queso is enough for a filling dinner for me. Every time we have out-of-town guests, we take them here, and our guests always rave about the food until they come back. Frank and Kate care so much that their taco shop is a welcoming place, and it is. They hire young staff and train them on how to communicate with the public, and they give so much to this community. From a small gift card to hosting the annual Cinco de Mayo block party. We're so lucky to have them and this business in Rockford.

The pollo taco and some topo chico!
Adam B.

I've been keeping and eye on this place for a month and I'm so excited that we got to be there for the soft opening. I love tacos and this is exactly what the food scene in Rockford needed! L.A. style tacos with house made corn tortillas! We tried their "soft opening" special - one each of the carne asada, chicken, and pulled pork. My favorite was the pork, my wife's favorite was the steak, and my son's favorite was the chicken. The tortillas was perfect, freshly made, easily foldable with no tearing or falling out the bottom, with a tiny bit of crispness from the grill, true expertise there from the chef! The toppings were fantastic and the perfect amount and flavor pairings with the accompanying meats, so well done. I can't wait to visit again when they have their full menu. Thank you F&K for blessing Rockford with your presence - you all are F'ing amazing!

This place is so good!!! Feels authentic. Very nice staff. Highly recommend everyone come check it out. My favorite taco was the Pork Belly Taco special. The pork had so much juicy flavor and was incredibly delicious. I also ordered the cauliflower pastor and pork Barbacoa which were okay. There is a nice little spot to sit outside which I took a pic of.

Machaca beef and a pork barbacoa tacos
Kathryn L.

We had been hearing and reading about F 'n K Tacos for some time and were very happy to find ourselves in Rockford and hungry over the weekend. Located in a small space on Courtland St., it was easy to find, and we were happy that they had several outdoor tables in the back because the counter space in the front was occupied. The person taking our order was super friendly and helpful, sharing some of her favorites with us as we perused the menus on the whiteboards on the wall. My husband and I each chose a machaca beef taco, and he then also went with an al pastor and I chose a pork barbacoa. They were all fantastic! The homemade tortillas were lightly grilled on one side, moist, and flavorful, the proteins were very lean and not overcooked, and the seasoning on each one was spot on - the lime squeeze brought it all together. We added an order of homemade chips and salsa. The chips were excellent, and we would likely request a slightly less mild salsa next time. So here it is in a nutshell, the tacos were superb and the staff was welcoming, so we'll clearly be back any time we're in Rockford. But there's one more thing. After viewing their video on the website after our visit, I learned about the owners and their journey that led them to Rockford, as well as the impetus behind their passion to serve the quality products they do: https://www.fnktacos.com/ Looking forward to our next visit and already planning to bring family when they're in town. I hope F 'n K Tacos finds continued and great success.

Indoor patio seating

Wow! AMAZING food and I personally got to meet the owner. What an incredible story from childhood to the creation of F'n K Tacos. If you're in town, stop in! You won't regret it!

I would really recommend this place to all. My husband and father loved the food but for me it was a little dull as I like spicy food, hence the 3 stars but if you like non spicy food this is your place. Service was awesome and I liked how the staff asked us what kind of vegetarian category we are so he understood what we would like. There is not much seating area just some high stools, so please plan accordingly.

Great walk-in place for delicious street tacos. Indoor seating is very limited but it's nice to grab a seat outside to eat by the dam.

Has potential but, at this point way too expensive for very little size taco with very little filling. The loaded chips were mostly chips

I ordered a paloma and I appreciated how strong it was! They also have a lot of specialty drinks and margaritas. We got chips and salsa delivered to the table as soon as we sat down which is always appreciated. The drink menu didn't list any prices, but my paloma was $12. The menu is pretty large and I was having a tough time deciding what to order. They have all your standards- tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. but also some Mexican specialties that I don't see as often, like tilapia plancha. I decided on the hot & spicy burrito, with chicken, beef, beans, and rice, topped with salsa ranchera and beef tips. Nate got a chimichanga. Our food didn't take too long to come out and everything was hot and fresh. The burrito was smaller than I was expecting based on its price ($16.49), but it was delicious and I ate the whole thing. I will definitely be back to try more menu items, and maybe even for their lunch menu.

This place is a hidden gem. It has the typical Mexican restaurant feel but the food, drinks and…read moreservice are above par. The staff was friendly and our waitress was friendly, talkative and fun. She definitely added to our experience. I hope we get her again the next time we go. The place is clean and large enough for 2-10 people in a group. They have typical booths, tables and is spaced out enough that you don't feel too crowded. The food was delicious! We got something with a bed or Mexican rice covered in chicken and queso. It came with 3 tortilla shells. The flavor was amazing and the portions were more than enough for two of us to share. Our friends got the burritos and they said it was one of the best they had. Now the drinks! Wow! They have a sangria margarita that will go down way too smoothly and warm you up right away. So good! We are definitely going back for those! Can you tell from all the exclamation points how good it was? LOL. We will be back and I hope that your experience is just as good.
