Honestly... I feel blessed to live at the walking distance to this place!!!!!!!! I could not believe the quality of the fish in fish taco, and grilled shrimp taco was match made in heaven! Everything taste so fresh! & steak taco is god... especially when you are hungover.... And the fat ass burrito is all you need when you are ready.... All staff are very welcoming and friendly I think I'm addicted... read more

You can't beat their $2 taco Wednesdays, it has to be the best deal in Winnetka. Salsa is help yourself out of the cooler (verde es muy bueno) and they have Negra Modelo tall boys. Eat inside, eat outside, or take to go, the choice is yours. read more

Pretty disappointed in the food here. The rice and flautas were flavorless and the chicken was hard as a rock. I couldn't cut through mine with my fork. Would recommend steering clear of them. The salsa was not good either. read more

Just so happened to be in the area and wanted good Mexican. Do not pass this place up! I tried the tacos. Birria tacos, chips, salsa and guacamole and no I did not come close to eating it all lol. Everything was soo good! I highly recommend it read more

We ordered a burrito and nachos. The burrito was tasteless without the sauce I had at home to add to it. I ordered nachos with chicken and nacho cheese. There was no cheese at all. The chicken was sliced like you would have in a chicken sandwich, not in nachos. The entire meal was tasteless and I am sorry I trusted an unknown place. Iwould have attached photos but I could not have thrown it out fasst enough. Do not go there. read more

I'm gonna keep it straight to the point. Stumbled across this during a quick google search. Didn't look at any reviews, just went in blind and came out full and satisfied. Reasonable prices, staff was friendly and welcoming and most importantly the food flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend trying this place. read more

La Taquiza - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

La Taquiza Express opened last week, and today was a Grand Opening. It's good to see a restaurant in this recently vacated space, although it is small. It's more like a takeout place as there are only a few seats against the windows. I am not familiar with the other 3 locations (Northbrook, Winnetka, Glenview). I ordered the quesabirria, which was two cheesy, crisp tortillas folded in half and stuffed with beef brisket with a side of consommé. The beef was tender and juicy, the broth flavorful and just a little spicy (a little oily too). The elote I ordered was just ok. It was a generous portion but not very cheesy or spicy. This is a warm and friendly joint, although small, and I'd like to come back for brunch to try chilaquiles or other tacos. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I knew there was going to be a problem when the salsa was merely an overly spiced watered down salsa roja with raw onions in it. Nothing fresh, or vibrant. The guacamole tasted like a premixed tub of " avocado puree" with citric acid to stop it turning brown. Then the asada tacos and rice. The rice tasted like it was cooked 4 days ago. Zero seasoning, no flavor at all. The tacos "looked" great. The meat tasted off. Really off. I ate none of it. My family will not be coming here. Ever again. There's plenty of other taco places in the area that are much better. I'm so incredibly disappointed. The best part of my meal was my Diet Coke. How they have 4 locations I don't know. The woman working the counter was very nice. $30.00 for nothing. read more

New Mexican food place in Highland Park (opened in 2024) specializing in tacos. It's really small with only 4 seats or so, but it makes it up in energetic atmosphere. Service is extremely friendly and they were patient answering my questions, such as what is a bomba taco (similar to Al Pastor, it has pineapple and chorizo). For my first visit, I only had 2 tacos, bomba and beef barbacoa. The wait was not short which I take as a good sign of freshness. The tacos were smaller than I anticipated but oh so delicious! Their spice level was just the right amount for me. On my next visit I will have to try the enchiladas. read more

Came for lunch and they've only been open for 2 weeks. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive both in greeting and at the end of the meal. I tried the Hot Cheetos burrito and it was just the perfect meal size. It was filled to the brim with steak and yes, hot Cheetos! There was a decent size menu and so much I wanted to try. read more

If this place is the same quality as the one in Glenview, then buckle up Highland Park... you're in for a treat! Enjoy!

This is a great local spot with yummy food and great service. They even deliver for our cold nights.

Yummy! I love La Taquiza, I usually go for a fajita burrito or the fajita bowl! It's nice that they have veggie options when I am feeling more of a lighter meal on my stomach. The veggie meals are very filling. They also have of course many different types of meat options. I tried the chicken burrito for the first time the other day and it was so delicious, I got guac added. It's in a convenient location, just around the corner from Port Clinton Square. The food is always super fast, even when they're a bit busier. I enjoy to eat my food inside, they have great tasting salsas and a cute interior. read more

Wow! Great little taco spot. Good for pickup or counter eat-in lunch/dinner. Authentic flavors. Specialize in steak, but have an excellent shrimp taco too. Awesome homemade hot sauces. read more

Mediocre tacos, guacamole is just ok, and food was cold when we picked it up. Tried it twice to give it a fair chance, but wouldn't recommend. Just a comment in general: HP needs more (and better) food options for carry out. read more

Love this small new Mexican joint in Highland Park! Went for taco Tuesday, and really enjoyed trying a variety of their tacos and salsas. Their barbacoa was my favorite! They have a great taco Tuesday deal for $2 each. Was glad to see so many customers both ordering takeout and dining in. A great option for a quick and delicious meal! read more

Food is really good, lots of vegetarian options. Great take out place. They also have delicious dessert if you care to indulge.

Burrito bowl was a very very small portion! Seemed more like leftovers... tacos are expensive and rather small portions. The protein fillings were just ok, lacked any flavor or kick... hope business does well, however I will be hesitant to go back.. read more

Excellent Mexican food always good. Great staff very friendly. All locations are well run. Easy place to find an inexpensive lunch.

Been here twice and it's not good. The fish and shrimp tacos were expensive and had no flavor at all - they put mushy lettuce on tacos??? Plantains were good though. Wouldn't recommend this place at all read more

Great Taco Tuesday spot! Yummy tacos, especially the Bomba taco. The kid quesadilla was delicious, too. Forgot to take pictures. Easy go-to spot. read more

Amiable owners who take pride in presentation since the place is sparkling clean and the owners are super friendly while they remain present at this family-run location, which is the newest of (I think) four locations around the north shore communities. Taco Tuesday has been a hit in HP since it opened. It will likely grow in popularity if they focus on heavily marketing the location and many locally-focused social media campaigns on Facebook groups. The tacos are legit handheld, appropriately sized street tacos, which are accurate to the origins in Mexico. Delicious pastor and the Bomba taco is a nice variation of the pastor with the chunks of pineapple. The Asada (skirt steak) was perfect, and the chicken burrito was stuffed with delicious shredded chicken, and the rest of the ingredients were well portioned. The horchata is excellent, and we look forward to trying the tres letche cake. This place is well-priced, which is fantastic! Overall, this place is a win for HP! Let's keep it thriving by supporting it regularly. The typical adult guy could quickly devour 4-5 of these tacos; I recommend spreading out your choices since they are all a safe bet regarding taste and price. read more

Great food. Excellent service and many vegetarian options. Small counter for dining in.

Great customer service! I inquired about placin a last minute catering order. They were more than happy to do the order. When I went in to pick it up staff went above and beyond with their customer service. Staff made sure the food was secured in my car. I really appreciate everything. read more

We ordered this at work and it was very disappointing. The guacamole had way too much lime juice hardly tasted of avocados. The steak in my burrito bowl had no flavor to it I had to add hot sauce to give it any sort of flavor. read more
