The quesabirria tacos are amazing! I went again during the afternoon when it wasn't as busy and they were able to grill them instead of frying them. I recommend getting both. The crunch is really nice but the regular grilled corn tortillas feel much healthier. The chicken pastor is extremely underrated too. Extremely flavorful and I might even like it more than the birria. The staff are super nice as well. There's seating indoors and outdoors. Overall the atmosphere is really nice and food is great! read more

Food is excellent Service and decor not so much. Hard to hear person I was with It needs more comfortable chairs read more

Food is delicious - 5 stars Long wait took away one star Very small limited seating - order take out read more

Absolutely love this birria joint in the heart of pilsen! I believe they only sell birria tacos or ramen which is good because it keeps option short and simple. The beef birria was amazing! Tasty, flavorful. Surf and turf was huge and delicious. They all come with cheese on top and the shells are juicy and crunchy. The birria juice is not greasy like the other ones I've tried before. Service was fast and friendly assuming it's a family owned restaurant. They have great music and cute decor inside that feel quiet homey. Absolutely loved them and will come back. read more

Have I not reviewed this place before?? Very delicious birria tacos, TONS of meat, honestly I get full after 2. Very yummy consommé and salsa. And they're halal! No complaints (except sometimes they run out which is a testament to how yummy they are). read more

I was visiting from out of town (Los Angeles) and I can assert that the record here are bomb! This is a small, unassuming joint. They have some seating but you might be fighting for one. I got a tree tacos dish. 3 diff tacos. Chicken. Birria. And shrimp. And let me tell you to my surprise the shrimp was the best! Might be hard to tell from a photo but these are decent side tacos. I'm 6 foot 180lbs and could only eat about 2.5 with some beans before I was stuffed. These tacos come in double fried double shells full of cheese along with a filling consume. Downside is it's extra for rice and/or beans. Which is a bummer. I did get the beans and they were delicious. The only negative is we came around lunch time and it took nearly 45 min to get our food. There were quite a few hungry people waiting for their order at the counter. And the food seemed to expedite sloooow. So either plan ahead or maybe order ahead if you go here. read more

Ordered delivery to break the monotony of my meal prep routine during the week for work. The order came in a timely manner and was still hot and crispy. I got the 8 pack. It comes with cilantro, onions, limes, red sauce (sweeter), green sauce and 2 consommé. I thought the tacos were filled pretty good, meat was tender and very cheesy but I wasn't really feeling the consommé and I felt the food needed more flavor honestly, I also don't like how they packaged the lime, onion and cilantro (I needed more of it and it gets stuck to the foil, small complaint). I'll update my review if I actually get a chance to go in myself but food is a solid 4 - ish. read more

There are trendier places in Pilsen but this place is the real deal. Simple menu but the best quesabirria in Chicago right here. Order at the counter, wait 15-30 minutes and get a plate of the best quesabirria paired with a flavorful consume. This is a must stop! read more

These were great tacos! There is limited seating inside and we only went to get a taste of the tacos. The consomé was chefs kiss - so flavorful and rich. The quesabirria has a little too much cheese for my liking but the flavors with the salsa were so yummy. Service was a little slow but may have just been at that time. read more

Had to wait quite long for our order of 6 quessabirria tacos BUT IT WAS WORTH--SO GOOD! They make the tacos fresh, and it came ready and piping hot. The tacos are about $6 each. So good dipped in the consommé. Appreciated their strawberry horchata ($5) as well--reminded me of a liquid strawberry milkshake. Loved all the funny and heartwarming signs all around the restaurant. It's a bit smaller but we were still able to find seats. A casual restaurant experience with yummy food! read more

If you're in Chicago and craving the ultimate quesabirria tacos, Quesabirria Jalisco in Pilsen is an absolute must-visit! These tacos are pure perfection - crispy, cheesy shells stuffed with incredibly tender, juicy beef birria that's packed with authentic Jalisco flavors. The consomé is rich, fatty, and bursting with spice from guajillo and chile de árbol, making every dip heavenly. I ordered the 4-pack with all the fixings - onions, cilantro, lime, and their amazing salsas - and paired it with horchata. Everything was generously portioned, perfectly seasoned, and not greasy at all. The cheese pulls are epic, and the meat just melts in your mouth. The staff is super friendly, the vibe in Pilsen is vibrant, and it's clear why this spot is hailed as having some of the best tacos in the city (often imitated, never duplicated!). Worth every penny and the potential wait - go early to avoid sell-outs. I'll be back weekly! read more

Delicious food everything at this location is delicious. Good ambience good service delicious food.

The food was hefty and salty. I'm used to birria compote having a smoother comforting taste but this was pure salt. The service was great though, just one attendant at the counter who let us know when our food was ready. The interior is small with limited seating, so we sat outside read more

Quesabirria Jalisco - 4 Pack QuesaBirria Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Where do I start.. I had high hopes for this place. I came in at opening (11:30 am) and it took nearly 20 minutes to receive my 3 tacos. You order at the kiosk so there's no interaction with the staff. There are four tables inside. Okay, so the food. I ordered 3 birria tacos. More is not always better. There was way too much meat and it was gamey which is uncharacteristic for beef. So unappetizing honestly. It doesn't need to be 90% meat. The consome had no flavor. And the sauces it comes with weren't any better. Super disappointing. read more

Went completely randomly and was blown away with the flavor of the quesabarria tacos. Piled with the meat and so so delicious one of the best tacos I've ever had. Just reading now about how long the lines were from other reviews. We must've lucked out because we got served quickly and had our pick of seating read more

Delicious quesabirria! We ordered in for delivery and at first I was a bit skeptical because it would have to be driven 15/20 minutes to us and they might have gotten soggy. Welp I was totally wrong. It hit the spot and I think was maybe one of the best that I've ever had. read more

I've said it once and I'll say it again, once you've had goat birria for breakfast on a street corner in Jalisco everything else pales in comparison. That being said, I enjoy trying them when I'm out and about on occasion. I got beef and shrimp. The shrimp was well cooked and well seasoned. I'm particular about when cheese can be with seafood and this was risk lol; I was pleasantly surprised. The beef was definitely the star of the show. It had those more traditional birria flavors you expect. The consomé was disappointing. None of the traditional taste profile and lacked depth; I could have done without it. The salsa verse was delicious. The food is prepared fresh to order and they gave free bottled water. It gets packed so expect a bit of a wait. I'd definitely return. read more

Yum! Yum! Yum! I came in for my serving visit not realizing I had been here before--and what a treat it was! We ordered six beef birria tacos and two birria ramen bowls. Let me tell you, this restaurant did not skimp on the beef. These tacos were loaded with tender beef, gooey cheese, and a surprising crunch from corn chips tucked inside. The consommé was thick, rich, and absolutely delicious. Every dip of a taco into that bowl brought out the full flavor of the meat and crust. We ate so much that the ramen became tomorrow's bonus meal! The ordering process was simple--quick, easy, and breezy. The restaurant was buzzing with energy, still full from the Mexican Independence Day celebrations. We ended up sharing a table with strangers and even exchanged Facebook details by the end of the meal. That's how warm and open the space felt--safe enough for strangers to become friends over tacos. And the music? Perfect. I left with a full stomach and a full heart. Thank you for feeding both my body and my spirit. read more

I was pleasantly satisfied! The staff at the counter was nice and even remembered my name on my way out. My order was ready in less than 1 minute--seriously. I don't usually order birria tacos but it was filling. The strawberry horchata could've been better, but it was the same price as regular horchata read more

Amazing stuffed taco's with your choice of proteins. I choose the 6 pack, which means as the name states, 6 taco's with any protein which I decided to get is chicken, shrimp and beef. Instead of putting all the taco's in 1 basket, she divided the taco's by protein to their own basket which was easier to share. The tacos are a bit greasy and topped with melted cheese. the order comes with consume (soup) that you can use it to dip the taco's for more flavor but I did not use. Order comes with 1 oz of beans and rice. Overall, the food was spectacular and I would highly recommend. read more

The best quesabirria tacos ever. The strawberry horchata was so delicious too. The consome had sooo much flavor and it made everything 100x better. I've been to a few places to try quesabirria tacos and I've always had the problem of the consome being plain so I was extremely happy that the consome was flavorful and delicious. The restaurant on the inside was very welcoming and beautiful and I loved the music they were playing. The person at the front was very nice so that made everything perfect. Me and my girlfriend will be back for more thank you!!! read more

First time here, saw this place through Instagram. I've been searching for a place that serve birria in different protein before beef. I would say the price is reasonable. The favor is there but you get very full from the cheese. The broth needs a little more seasoning. The server was very friendly and helpful. Street parking. read more

Pilsen has so many gems and this place is one of them! Friendly and welcoming staff, cozy atmosphere and delicious food! The tacos are absolutely delicious, the cheese has a long pull and the consomé is flavorful. The only reason I gave it four stars is because after spending several months in Mexico, I think it will be hard to find a place that made these as good as I had in Mexico. But these are pretty close!!!! We arrived at 4:45, but by 5:30 this place was packed with a line out the door. I highly recommend getting here early if you want a table to diner inside! read more

I've had food from here multiple times. We typically order the birria and shrimp tacos. Personally, there's too much cheese so I remove probably at least half before I start eating. There's limited seating inside. I wish they provided salsa bottles for people dining indoors. I need that heat! You won't be disappointed. Payment is a bit funky, but they accept cash and Venmo. read more

I must mention that the strawberry horchata was simply delicious. Next time I'll try the chicken and the shrimp if you in the area please try them out it's so filling and delicious... read more

This is one of the best meals I've had in recent memory and it's also such good value. I admit sometimes my five star reviews aren't all equal (some factor in vibes and wanting to support small businesses), but this is definitely my strongest five star review in recent history. The food is sooooooo good - I tried the birria, shrimp, and chicken tacos and all were delicious. My friend and I ordered 4 each but didn't realize how big they would be, and we definitely could have eaten 2 or 3 and been full. But we love delicious leftovers. The amount of meat they pack in these tacos is so much and again they are so good. This place was pretty crowded and only continued to get more crowded while we ate, and it's obvious why. Food is so good and this is a meal I would absolutely travel for (aka come to Pilsen specifically to eat this). Definitely get a birria taco, but the shrimp and chicken were both good. I love a simple menu where you can't go wrong with whatever you get. So we already know the food is already 5+ stars on its own, but the staff was also so nice. The man who took our order was so warm and good vibes. They don't take credit card, so plan accordingly. Seating is also first come first serve and there aren't a ton of tables, so I would avoid coming with a large group. Anyways, I could go on and on about how good this meal was but you just have to go. Delicious and delightful! read more

Let me say this 10 out of 10. Absolutely delicious. The quesobirrias start at $6 each and are slightly discounted after buying 4 or more. But it is most definitely worth the price. They are HUGE. I have NEVER seen that much meat in a quesobirria. We ordered the beef and shrimp and the birria ramen. The shrimp are really big and they stuff them. The flavor is amazing. The beef was soooo juicy and tender. Just yummy. The birria had melted cheese and so much meat. The noodles was cooked perfectly. The service was pretty quick and they were really pleasant. The ambiance is very simple. Tney have a lot of inspirational quotes throughout. They have about 4 tables if you want to sot amd eat there. I will most definitely be going back. read more

WOW! Every bite was delicious and full of flavor, I literally left no crumbs. I appreciated how the tacos were stuffed and the meat wasn't skimped out on. I tried both the birria and shrimp; birria was juicy and the shrimp was just as good. The birria ramen was also great, but I think I prefer the tacos a lot more. Check this small, local restaurant out in Pilsen if you're craving something fried! read more

Best birria in the Midwest. It's not even really close. I've tried other places, but this genuinely sweep the floor with them.

Freakin' delicious quesabirria. The meat was delicious. The cheese was delicious. The consomme was especially delicious. The shells were nicely crispy. The tacos were LOADED. 2 tacos ($5 each) is definitely enough for one person. Their salsas are also pretty good. Not a lot of seating, but if you do end up dining in you can get free water bottles. read more

Came by with a Quesabirria craving and wasn't disappointed. There was a short wait wait on a Saturday afternoon, although the restaurant was busy the entire time. Interior is clean and there are bathrooms for use. There aren't a lot of tables (only four) so seating may be hard to come by if you intend to dine in. Most people seemed to do takeout. The staff were very friendly and food came out reasonably quick for how busy they were. The restaurant basically only sells the Quesabirria tacos, with three fillings of beef, shrimp, or chicken. All pricing is the same regardless of protein. Our tacos came with two salsas which were quite spicy and a side of consume for dipping. The tacos are large and come stuffed and oozing with melted mild cheese and generous protein. The corn tortillas are orange from being dipped and very crunch after getting on the grill. The tacos end up quite greasy as a result. read more

3 words to describe my visit: Crunchy, Cheesy, Flavorful. The owner is so sweet, charismatic, and funny. His customer service is amazing. Everyone was singing along to Spanish music and it was really entertaining. It felt like I was at the "Carne Asada" I watched the owner with many customers after me and the customer service was just as great. He has a lot of energy! I tried the Carne QuesaBirria taco first and it was really flavorful. It was the crunch of the taco shells for me and the cheese pull was cinematic. I tried the Chicken QuesaBirria and it was delicious as well. My favorite sauce has to be the pink/orange one. It's sweet and tastes like chipotle peppers. The green salsa is good too, but it's a little spicy for me. The tacos are stuffed I ordered 3 but I could only finish 2. Of course I took the last one home for leftovers I finally have a new Quesabirria spot to enjoy. I will definitely be back. read more
