    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
    Liam B.

    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.

    I normally get tacos! Today I finally decided to try the burger! Excellent!!! Will order 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!
    Camille S.

    Ok, so I consider myself a connoisseur of Tacos!!!! Taco Tuesday happens ANYDAY we can get a good tasty Taco!!!! Raymond and The Lord must have some kind of agreement, because his Tacos are Heavenly!!!

The Chicken Taco is Equally a Blessing to your Taste Buds!!! Got a big Hungry Man Appetite? Oh yeah, Raymonds has somethin' for ya, you just need to be able to hold it!!! The Burrito is the MVP of Satisfaction!!! That joker is so Big, you may slip into a Food Coma!!!!

    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

The burgers are amazing - it has that beef tallow taste and adding the sunny side up egg was awesome. It's cooked perfectly to where the yolk is not dripping down my fingers, but just enough to where it trickles into the burger and adds another dimension of flavor. The interesting thing is that "single" patties are actually double, and "double" patties are actually triple. Not sure why they named it like that, but our server was good about making that known. Fries were solid but not as amazing as the burger. Wished they were a little thinner. Pretty small seating inside, only a couple booths, tables, and bar seating. They do have a fair sized patio for outdoor seating, so that helps with getting people in and out. Since the space is a bit compact, it can get a little noisy inside. We did paid street parking

We were seated at a comfortable booth near the window. For drinks, I chose the Citrus Ritual mocktail, which I loved - so well-made and refreshing. I also got a Single Cheeseburger with the added egg and an order of French Fries to share with my coworker. I was a bit confused because it turns out a single cheeseburger at Au Cheval is actually a double because it comes with two beef patties. Personally, I would've just preferred one. Otherwise, it was a very nice burger, but I can't say it changed my brain chemistry. The French Fries were also tasty. Service was incredibly professional, attentive, and quick. Worth the visit!
