We've been coming here for many years. First it was some of the other locations, then the one in Elmhurst (nearer to us) was a welcome addition when it opened. We like that it's a more casual/relaxed vibe, they have sidewalk seating which is convenient for nice weather and if you have dogs, and the food is always good & well priced comparatively. We haven't ever had any issues to speak of. I would recommend it. read more

I'm a huge fan! The margaritas were fantastic, tacos were on the cheap side and absolutely delicious, and service was super sweet! We went for a weekend lunch and it was pretty empty, which we didn't mind because we dragged our 3 month old along haha. My only critique was I ordered pastor, which should have come with pineapple and other appropriate toppings, but did not. Other than that, I would 100% come back! read more

Guac N Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

I had high hopes for Guac n Tacos, but unfortunately, the experience fell flat. Upon arrival, we were seated quickly, but it took over 10 minutes for a waiter to even come by and take our drink and appetizer order, despite the restaurant not being busy at all. We started off with the guacamole and chips, hoping for something special since "Guac" is in the restaurant's name. Sadly, the guac was very mediocre--definitely not what I expected. I've had much better guacamole elsewhere. For our main course, we ordered the veggie tacos and the veggie bowl. Both were disappointing. The flavors were lackluster, and the overall quality just wasn't there. Given the slow service and underwhelming food, I don't think I'd come back. There are plenty of other places that offer better service and more flavorful food. read more

Amazing real Mexican food and not expensive like Primos Locos (across the street). Love the atmosphere Come and try it.

A pretty cool place here and glad we saw this and ate. Guac N Tacos is a small casual Mexican joint. It has a few locations including this one in downtown Elmhurst. Has these small tacos but they have big flavor. Try the meaty or the vegetarian. Cool place best for lunch. It's good for when you're not real hungry. The tacos are quite small. Because they have a bunch of different ones it makes it easier to sample a few. We also needed something to drink, so we got Corona from the beer menu. It's $6 a bottle. That's the biggest issue about here. Beer is just too expensive. It seems they make up food costs by doing it. We had some of the Vegan Tacos. It's $3.75 for most flavors. They have ones with mushrooms. Good spice. These are topped with corn and grilled onions. Also has plenty of meaty taco choices. It's not just common proteins like beef or chicken either. There's seafood choices like shrimp, making this a place everyone can get something. read more

Guac N Tacos - Corona With The Vegan Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

We were hanging out on Elmhurst and found this place on Yelp. I am always worried to try next Latin restaurant because I know what authentic should taste like but this was such a cute little place I went in with an open mind. The food was Really good. Service was great. Time for good to come out was well spread out between appetizers to main dish. Our group had shrimp ceviche without onions. It comes served with tortilla chips ( those were not that good) My sister had tortilla soup and she said it was good. She also ordered fish taco and shrimp taco both yummy. My daughter had taco dinner and said the rice was good. This is usually how you can tell the rice and beans if it's good Mexican food. I had the flautas. They were in the skinny side but still good. All in all the food was good. Before we left we had the Buñuelos and ice cream to go. The Buñuelos are made fresh so be patient while they make them fresh. These were so good. Do not leave without dessert! This place takes Apple Pay , always a plus. read more

Okay this place is great! There is another Mexican place right across the street, don't be swayed by the cute patio. The food and drinks are better here. There is outdoor seating in the front of the building. We had tacos and guacamole and really the only small comment was I wanted salt in the guacamole. Super easy fix. My brother mixed his chorizo and pastor tacos and loved them. I had the chorizo and the carnitas. Both were flavorful and full tacos. Also normally I would say I like flour tortillas over corn because they get hard and fall apart (yes I know don't care I like what I like). HOWEVER these corn tortillas stayed soft, didn't fall apart, and had great corn flavor. And the margaritas- yum! I had the spicy habanero and it was spicy. I order pepper margaritas all the time and they never have spicy, this one is spicy and boozy. read more

ive came to eat here serveral times I enjoy the food but I don't understand why it says you guys close at 9 Pm and it's 8:25Pm and I would understand if I can't dine in but I should at least be able to place an order to go. this is one of my biggest pet peeves please fix your hours that you guys are open/close. read more

The food was okay, nothing really special. The service was great but the ambience was terrible, it was SO QUIET! The music was so low that I could practically hear the conversations being had on the opposite side of the restaurant. read more

We had dinner Thursday night. It checked all the boxes. It was warm and inviting. $12 craft margarita. Fresh, chunky guacamole. Our 4 entrees came out hot with just the right amount of heat. Service was impeccable. The bill was less than $80 all in. read more

Food was good, price was fair. The server reminded me of Nacho Libre, in a good way. The flavor was really tasty. The decor was nice but the only thing I didn't understand was the giant picture of Albert Einstein. We are definitely going to return. read more

Want to love this place, but it's slightly better than average. Cool look and feel inside but the food temp just isn't ever really hot, taste is good but nothing special, and it just seems like for as cute of a place as this is, it should be really good Mexican food. I do prefer carry out here versus dine in. read more

Very cute place. Good service. Server was very attentive and friendly. Delicious chicken tortilla soup. And jalapeño margarita was so delicious. Highly Recommended place. I will go back for Margaritas read more

When walking in you are hit with a very cute / trendy ambiance. We had to walk up to the counter to be seen by the two young ladies standing there. We got to sit at any table. The service was slow and there was only two table myself and another couple. The first young lady that took our order was clearly training and she did ok unfortunately she didn't check on us for refills and then left without checking in with her tables. The Second Lady was not friendly , did not check on us ad isolated herself in the back with the door closed. Very awkward experience. Now , for the food. Chicken taquitos were very good my wife and I both liked them very much. The horchata was also very good. My wife had the bean and cheese burrito and she said it was just ok nothing special about it. I had the chicken mole and it was filling and not to overpowering the corn side definitely taste like canned corn and was missing a whole lot of love. read more

Service was just ok. Vacant host stand made me wonder if the place was even open. I got 2 tacos and a side of refried beans. The tacos were both pretty flavorless. The refried beans were quite good, but are understandably not the main draw for a taco place. I don't feel a need to go back. read more

Very basic, quick restaurant. There is about 6-7 2 person tables and overall it is a very small space. This restaurant is good for a quick bite or taking something to go. The guac and chips is only $4.50 which I think is very reasonable, plus you get a huge portion! It's perfect for two-three people to share. The guac was the best thing I've had here. It was very fresh and had tomatoes, onions, and some other ingrediants in it. The chips were fresh tasting as well. My tacos were just ok. I had the chicken tinga taco and added cheese, this taco was pretty flavorful, I would order it again. The pastor taco fell flat for me, the meat was dry and it did not have much flavor. The sizes of the tacos are good, if you had two tacos and a size you should be full. The "amazing corn" was definitley not amazing. This elotes fell flat because they did not drain the corn before putting it in the cup. I literally had a quarter of a cup of mayo water - gross! Plus when the corn is not drained you lose a lot of flavor because it is literally watered down. So drain your corn please!!! Overall this restaurant is a-ok! I would come back for a quick bite or lunch. read more

This is an example of absolutely fantastic tacos , at a reasonable price, with very poor customer service. This review is not based on a single incident, but several visits over the past two months. I'm not sure if this is due to resource constrains or poor mgmt. What I do know is that my wife and I were seated for over 20 minutes and were never offered even a drink. Water was brought to the table, but the two glasses on the table were dirty. Needless to say, we left the restaurant and walked across the street. Again, just today we watched a student wait for over 15 minutes at the counter without being acknowledged. He rang the bell, no response. Another lady walked in and went to the counter and was helped with drinks and the young man stood their patiently. The lady new she was not next and the worker never bothered to ask who was next. I do know that when the owners are here, it's a much different (positive) experience. Please note, this is not an indictment on the quality of food. The had always been excellent... when we can be served. I hope they can figure this out quickly. read more

Really disappointed. A group of us stopped by on a Friday night. We ordered different flavor margaritas. Mango, strawberry, and a pomegranate. They were all way too sweet. You couldn't taste any liquor. Then we ordered empanadas and nachos with steak no onions no jalapeños. Empanadas came out great. Very tasty. But the nachos came with no steak with onions and jalapeños. We informed our server and we didn't eat them, however, we were still charged for them. For entree I ordered the flautas and they were delicious. But again, asked for no jalapeños and still had pieces in the lettuce. My friends ordered tacos and they were okay. Al pastor was a bit too chewy. The service was great, but the food and drinks were just not it. read more

Nice little spot in downtown Elmhurst. The food is great and the drinks are delicious and consistent! The owner is such a sweetheart and she really makes you feel at home... I enjoy it every time!! The shrimp tacos are my absolute fave, although I've tried most of them and you honestly can't go wrong lol... They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's a vibe either way... Their margaritas pair so well with their food, it's quickly become one of my favorite restaurants, period!! read more

Guac N Tacos - Shrimp taco - Tacos Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

Stopped by for lunch and we ordered the fish taco, shrimp taco, nachos, and cheese quesadilla. The only food that tasted good was the cheese quesadilla, it comes with fresh made guac, which is really good. The shrimp & fish tacos have tons of pickled cabbage on them + chipotle mayo and it's SO strong, that's all you can taste. Also, the shrimp was so bland and tasted like rubber. Nachos were not good, super bland and had lots of lettuce on them, barely any cheese or beans. We didn't finish any of our food, except for the quesadillas. Service was good, our waitress was nice and the inside seating has been renovated, so it's very chic. I like that there is outdoor seating. However, overall, probably won't be coming here again.. read more

Love authentic tacos.....however although they were authentic ingredients....they were dry....first time here so I ordered chicken, fisflh and steak...with quacamole ....that was missing a "dash" of salt..... read more

I can't believe I didn't know of this place till recently! The tacos are fresh and so flavorful! The guac was good too! I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a quick bite. I can't wait to come back here and try more things off the menu. FYI -The place is pretty small and seating is limited - There is no private parking lot but there are plenty of free street parking spots and I believe there is also a free parking garage close by (closer to the Elmhurst Public Library) and it's a quick walk! - The Shrimp Taco was so good! read more

Yummy tacos and cheap prices? Count me in! Most of the tacos are $2.75 each and there are a variety to choose from. I tried 3 tacos, including chorizo, carnitas and pork belly. I also ordered chips and guacamole to split with a friend. The guacamole was fresh and went great with the salty chips. The tacos were very filling, packed with flavor and satisfying. The pork belly was fatty but it worked well with red onions. Pretty simple menu with different kinds of tacos to try. There are sides available and can be ordered separately. Definitely a recommended place to try! read more

I ordered The carnitas tacos and the pulled chicken tacos. Both were very flavorful. The cilantro and onions were fresh.

I was really looking forward to some good shrimp and fish tacos, painfully, got neither here ... When I saw the toppings, I was excited to taste. And there, they did not disappoint. These tacos were flavorful and plenty of toppings and "meat". Unfortunately, I almost called 911 to report the atrocities done to the fish and shrimp. The shrimp? While plentiful, was bland, underseasoned, and criminally dry. I would have expected a grilled or breaded shrimp, but these looked boiled and over cooked. The fish? It too was undersaeasoned, bland, over-breaded thusly chewy. No flaky, light and crispy here. Given the crimes committed, I do not think I can overlook the poor treatment of these great ingredients and give them another shot. The couple bad reviews I read prior, seemed to have to do with small portion size to high cost. While I do not mind spending $20 on 4 tacos, I just want them prepared well.... read more

No Mexican theme at all. It took a while for someone to take our order. It was not busy. This is the only place that doesn't give you chips and salsa. It always should be complementary!!! Pricey for 1 taco. Too many add on charges. Sour cream and guacamole should come with everything! Quesadillas were good but not slot of cheese inside. The enchiladas were good but the rice was dry and stale. The mole sauce was chalky. Music too loud. Server never checked on us. He took Our order and that was it!! Never refilled our drinks. read more

My favorite Elmhurst restaurant! The ingredients are very fresh. I often order the steak tacos with extra guacamole. The tortillas are chewy in the best possible way. The meat is tender and well-seasoned. They are generous with using fresh herbs/cilantro and include limes for squeezing on top. It's not the best restaurant for a good dine-in experience (it's quite small with minimal seating) but I order takeout from Guac N Tacos almost weekly and often when we have visitors in town and are looking for a quick ready-made dinner - everyone always LOVES the food! read more
