    1 Carne Asada taco (personal favorite) and 1 shrimp taco!!
    William B.

    Incredible food!! Always has something great to eat. Staff and owner are super nice and very knowledgeable. Never had a bad experience here! Also saw that they got a fountain drink machine so there's a few more sodas available which I think is great! Sitting inside is nice but I love the back porch, it's a great place to hang out and eat with some friends and enjoy some fresh air too!! I've seen complaints about price... but these are high quality ingredients and everything is handmade. This isn't Taco Bell, if you want cheap tacos go somewhere else. If you want the best Mexican/So-Cal fusion tacos in the state, then the prices are definitely worth it.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

We've come twice now where the service is just missing that extra care. We had miscommunication on the food we wanted. Which I might add the bowl of mac and cheese brought to me was so small for $13. Originally I was going to get the mac & cheese, but after talking to the waiter, I said actually I'd rather have the pulled pork sandwich with the aïoli on the side. He said OK sounds good but the mac & cheese still came out and that's how I saw the portion size for $13 which is crazy. I was confused because I thought I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and they were great and they immediately got that out to me like five minutes later however, in the five minutes, they brought it to me. The bun was literally deteriorating and soggy like I dunked it in a water cup. I couldn't even enjoy most of it and just had to use a fork for the pork- which did taste good! Overall, truly, the outdoor patio with a beer and the live music is an amazing feature, but I think we've just agreed that maybe this isn't where we eat. Not to mention, we both used the bathroom and both almost walked out and vomited because the smell and discussed in there was just horrible and neither one of us wanted to use them. They're like so close to having it right and I really hope the next time we come back, our minds are changed.
