    Local taco spot!!! Quick and friendly service. Best horchata I think I've ever had in my life and that will 100% be the reason for my return. Food is good, nothing fancy. Definitely want to go back and try some different meats.

    Chicken Taco, onion rings & fries
    Jim D.

    Pretty good albeit simple taco spot. Avoid the fries, they're greasy & utterly flavorless. The onion rings were actually pretty damn good. I finished them off almost before I got home. The tacos most appealing aspect was the cheese. They're big, cheap & pretty damn good & honestly rank amongst some of the best I've had from a casual/take out establishment. For just under $40 my wife & kid were quite satisfied. I'd be comfortable at saying that 3 tacos is sufficient for any appetite. Lastly if dining in know that the place is small & there's even live singing

    Came across this place at midnight. We got a torta, burrito and a taco. Let me say the chicken isn't that bad. As I arrive to this place, there already a line. Looks like this is another place where people come to grab a bite. They only accept cash. Street parking.

    Double Cheeseburger

    Stopped in on lunch cause it was close, didn't want Mexican food today so I tried a cheeseburger, fries, and a lemonade. It's a hole in the wall local place with a whole lot of heart. It's cash only which I wish I'd known before going. But that's okay because they had an ATM. The workers move fast and you can tell they've got a system down. The burger was good, plain and simple, what's interesting is it's almost seasoned like Mexican food which makes sense because they're cooking Carne Asada right next to it. It's super decent and only 4 dollars. Fries are fluffy and fresh, a bit greasy and not salted but they're good. Lemonade is the most unique thing I got, it's the perfect balance between sweet and sour and it's fresh. I'll definitely be back if I work over here again.

    Chicken Burrito, Pork Taco, Rib Eye Torta, Chicken Torta & Rice Water
    Dave S.

    Totally unassuming place, I saw in an article online they are ranked highly as one of the best tacos spots in Chicago. So I figured I'd go check it out. I went to the location on the south side at Damen & Blue Island. I ordered a pastor taco and ribeye torta. Both items were average. I'd have to say the salsa was not as spicy I would like either. They don't have chips and salsa available, I found that kind of abnormal. Be sure you bring cash as they don't accept credit cards. The ATM in the restaurant is often utilized. Overall, I would say it's a good taco joint, but I didn't agree with the article that said they're one of the best in Chicago.

    Steak Tacos mmmmmm!

    Lengua Taco with Cheese
    Nathan W.

    This cash only restaurant is located on 2406 S Blue Island Avenue. Ordered a steak burrito, an al pastor torta, and a lengua taco with cheese. The best thing here was the lengua taco. It was a bit charred but it gave the meat good flavor. The cheese was melted between 2 corn tortillas and for a few cents more, it was worth it. Overall, the quality wasn't the best, but the portions were big. They gave a lot of salsa compared to how much was ordered.

    incorrect and tasteless order
    Victoria A.

    Incorrect and tasteless order. Asked for carne asada and got a torta of ground beef. Just mush...AL pastor tacos were flavorless. Never again.

    "Steak Tacos" w/ onions & cilantro
    Ramone P.

    Me & the Mrs. was looking for a late night restaurant that we never been to, So Raymond's Hamburgers & Tacos was the one we chose. To start off they stay open til 4am. They have a medium size eating area, with a nice chill....."I just left the club" atmosphere. Their steak tacos are very good, which I had three of. They give you a nice amount of meat on your tacos which is a plus. When it comes to them putting cheese on the taco. I didn't like that they put American cheese in between two taco shells. Don't know if you can get shredded cheese, But when I go back I'll ask. Overall it was a great experience, the steak tacos had a great taste, and I'll be back to try more of their menu. They get a thumbs up, so I recommend you go check out this restaurant.

    3 steak tacos with cilantro and onions on corn tortillas.  Very good quality  and plentiful

    Great spot to crush that hunger! Ribeye tacos are a must and burritos are a decent size.

    Wow! So happy I finally got to come here. They have recently started accepting some reservations…read moreand I was lucky enough to get one. I understand why they are famous for their burgers. I had the single cheeseburger and it lived up to the hype. I learned that the single burger is actually a double and the double is actually a triple. I was recommended to add an egg and bacon to the burger and I'm glad I did. Each bite was a glorious burst of flavor. The bacon is epic. Thick juicy slices. The cheeseburger was perfect. I didn't need additional condiments and that never happens for me. The fries were good too and came with a delicious aioli. For beverages, I loved my Arnold Palmer. I also tried a cocktail--the Long Island Iced Coffee. It was pretty strong. I added a shot of bourbon cream to it and that sweetened it up and made it perfect for me. Unfortunately, I didn't have room for dessert. Cute restaurant. Cozy inside. They have an outdoor patio as well. If you don't have a reservation, be prepared to wait. Excellent food. Excellent service. Jennifer took great care of me and made great suggestions. It's pricy but it's worth it.

    Several people who have either visited or lived in Chicago told me to try the infamous cheeseburger…read moreat Au Cheval so I made it a point to stop by during my trip. I planned to dine at Au Cheval for Sunday lunch and unfortunately there weren't any reservations available on Resy for lunchtime when I checked. Of note, Resy charges $2.50 per person to book the reservation which does not go towards the bill. After looping around for parking and finding a metered spot, I checked in at the restaurant shortly after 11:30am and was told I was 28th in line and the host could not quote a wait time due to the inclusion of online reservations. I thought that was a bit odd so I ended up walking around to explore the surrounding businesses. I finally received a text that my table was ready around thirty minutes later. The restaurant itself is not big but gives off an old fashioned vibe which I guess correlated with the type of food served. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a side of thick cut peppered bacon, and a side of French fries. I figured it was more economical to order a side of bacon rather than adding it to my burger so I can eat as much or as little as I wanted. The food came around fifteen minutes later. The burger itself did not look as big on the plate as I expected, although it was apparent how thick the two hamburger patties were. Since everyone was raving about the burger I had high expectations which unfortunately were not met. The burger tasted like a burger found at any average diner across the country. The bacon pieces were thick and flavorful but I don't think they elevated the burger as much as I'd like. Also, I wished there were cheese options rather than offering only American cheese which is probably the cheapest cheese that can be added on a burger. The fries reminded me of In-N-Out fries but the fries at the bottom of the cup were way too salty as if all the salt was added to the bottom of the cup instead of trickling down after being sprinkled on the fries on top. Considering all the hype about Au Cheval and the claims that their cheeseburger is one of the best burgers in the country or world, I was very underwhelmed. If this burger were to represent the Chicago food scene on a national level, it should rank lower than several other major cities in the United States.
