Straight food review. First off the place was remodeled with perfection. The lighting, ambience the murals....all great! Now on to the food. I wanted to really like the food. It wasn't bad the guac was nice and fresh. I can def tell the place is putting pure heart and efforts into serving fresh food but in my eyes the food lacked a bit of flavor. Had various meats in tacos and tortas. Chicken pastor was pretty weak, if I were to guess it was roasted boneless chicken thighs. Tasted nothing like al pastor, please change name or make sure flavors are injected into this meat. The steak was guisado-ish? I lost the flavor of steak and wasn't disappointed as I was trying to enjoy more flavors. Expensive taco for no flavor and a handmade tortilla as thick of three tortillas. Not kidding. Well if any of three meats I enjoyed was the carnitas. Full of flavorful juicy pork. That taco was tasty and thoroughly enjoyed. Too many solid taco joints within 10 mins. read more

It's all about these hand made blue corn tortillas, I don't know any other place around putting so much care into their tortillas. Margaritas were delightful and paired nicely with the food. Great job! read more

Happened across this place when our regular go-to failed us (Buzz Cafe). Had great breakfast specials, nachos and service here. One of my pet peeves is when you ask for water you get a tiny cup. Not here!! I short, Harrison Street needed this place! read more

My husband and I were passing through Oak Park and wanted to find some tacos for lunch. We stumbled upon Taco Mucho and we were beyond impressed! Homemade corn tortilla were incredible and perfect because my husband has a gluten allergy. The shrimp tacos are a MUST. Good heat and flavor. The veggie tacos are also great. So happy we stopped here! read more

The food portions were large and an overall nice atmosphere. Staff was friendly and service was good.

I love the poblano potato nachos and michelada!!!! It instantly became a neighborhood favorite.

Simply amazing! My son and I stopped here last week for the first time. We've passed this place dozens of times and decided to give it a try. We ordered at the counter inside, we're given a table number and sat outside where there is ample sidewalk seating. I ordered a carne asada taco and a white fish taco. Both were so wonderfully delicious, filling, and nestled on their house-made tortillas . The toppings which accompanied the carne asada was simple and fresh, and the crema which accompanied the white fish was light and flavorful. My son ordered the nachos with carne asada. Had we known it would be so plentiful, we probably would have shared it. But we took the leftovers home and killed it later. On to dessert. We love churros, but I find many to be very dry and lacking flavor. Not these! First, I like that they are small, finger-sizes. They have a light and crunchy exterior with a soft and chewy interior. Nicely coated with cinnamon and sugar, served warm with a smooth and velvety chocolate sauce on the side. I was very pleased and will be coming back for more. I have to be honest, I love Antique Taco, but this is a very close second and their prices are so much easier in the wallet. read more

The food is great! Asada taco has nice sized cuts of carne asada, tortillas are homemade, salsa is tasty! The roasted poblano taco is fire and is probably the best veggie taco I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and order the red pozole on the weekend. Super cute aesthetic with colorful art and totally kid friendly. Definitely one of my fave spots in the area! read more

Taco Mucho has great food, good service and an excellent mural. What more do you need? Yeah, it's short on frills but if you're just looking for good meal in friendly and hospitable surroundings, it's a good choice. read more

Outstanding. Yep, the price point may be off-putting, but the quality brought me back. Everything is fresh and freshly made, from the tortillas to the margaritas (add a shot, it's worth it). Love the frijoles. And I can't leave without having at least one carne asada taco. I miss having a neighborhood-bar spot, but Taco Mucho is too good to be overlooked or disregarded. read more

Steak and chicken tacos are legit. Can't wait to taste some other things on the menu.

Today I visited again and left with a full belly and a happy heart. Chicken nachos were on the money, the salsa music made me dance in my chair and yes I had enough to take home. The only thing I would like is for them to be walking distance to where I live. Lol. read more

The food was delicious and prepared with love . Drinks were so refreshing and made with real watermelon juice. My party enjoyed the taco and beer pairing event they had with Casa Humilde Cervecería. The ambiance and decor gives the place a great vibe. Will be returning again with the family . read more

The food was great. The service was terrible. They did not allow us to sit in the back area because they were closing in an hour. We had to sit next to the front door, and it was cold because people came in and out picking up their deliveries. read more

Far and away the best taco joint in Oak Park. Everything we tried was fresh and the margaritas were amazing. The guacamole is the perfect consistency and the tacos were all delicious. The fish taco was my favorite. This is exactly the right concept for the neighborhood. Can't wait to go back! read more

Not your typical taco joint. The tacos are not cheap but they are fancier than normal tacos. I love the whitefish and shrimp tacos. The watermelon margarita was delicious! read more

Just tried this place for the very first time today, and I gotta say, it was absolutely fantastic. I love how authentic their menu is, everything tastes just like the food I've had in México. The fact that the owners are an Oak Park family is also a nice bonus! Overall, great restaurant. I can't wait to come back for more. read more

I give this place 3 1/2 stars. My daughter & I had the nachos with steak, a chicken ale pastor taco and a carnitas taco. Everything was very good. The tacos are loaded with the meat. 2 were enough for me! The restaurant was pretty basic but very clean and bright. The staff was very friendly and explained everything on the menu. They checked vax records which was fine with me. I'll definitely be back. read more

over seasoned, overpriced, and the service was eh at best. this place will not last long

The food it's good but the service it's terrible the waiter was rude and they had me waiting for a long time.

It is my first time to visit the place and I wish I got someone with me. The place is really cool, the interior looks nice and I really like the vibe perfect spot for something casual like dating, or even meeting up with family and friends. The place is clean and the staff is nice and friendly. They only have a few options on their menu and I just order carne asada taco, carnitas taco and a glass of margarita. Both of the taco has a huge portion and it was perfectly seasoned and each flavor. Each of the taco cost 5 $ and it is not that bad and it is fairly reasonable. I am looking forward to be back and I would definitely bring my family or friends. read more

Was back in town, visiting family when we stopped at this place. Some really expertly grilled tacos! I had the pastor tacos which were made with chicken instead of tradional pork, but they were still very tasty, and I sampled the carne asada tacos which were perfectly grilled and mighty good. They make they're own tortilla chips, always a good sign and the salsa for dipping was flavorful. If I lived in town, I'd be going here a lot. read more

We live nearby. We had high-hopes for the previous restaurant (DKT). Thought a place to get a beer and a pizza that was kid friendly was a good fit for the neighborhood, but it was run about as well as you'd expect from someone who seemed to pay the greatest attention to frat-boy decal window stickers ("phones down cups up dude!"). This is what I can say about Taco Mucho: A $5 taco better be really good. It was really good. My favorites are the carne asada and the fish, but I think the carne asada is the best, and that's what I'd be judging them on anyway. The nachos are freshly fried homemade dopeness. Real freshly made chips with their carne on top is just super duper bomb shit, and actually cheaper than the previous spot. It's clean and nice inside, and the staff is friendly. If they can maintain this quality, I think they'll do really well here. read more

Wow - perfectly spicy and flavorful! Was dancing while I ate it. That's the sign of some good food!

We tried the carnitas bowl, a whitefish taco, a carnitas taco, chips and guacamole, and a strawberry guava margarita. Everything was delicious! The tortillas taste really fresh. The chips were well-salted. The crema was pretty spicy but had good flavor. The patio had most tables filled and service was quick. read more

These are great tacos. I had the chicken and steak tacos and the meat chunks were larger than anticipated but oh so tender. The flavor was to die for. The salsa given for the chips and salsa was a bit spicy for my liking but the green salsa made up for it as it was delicious. The flavored margaritas were tasty but did not taste the alcohol, could have used a bit more. Overall good neighborhood spot and will return. read more

2nd time "visiting" Taco Mucho, & will definitely return! We live in the far Western suburbs, so Oak Park is a little bit of a hike. Our first visit was dine in to celebrate a family birthday. It was a week night, so not too crowded. We had excellent service and the food was outstanding, so we could not wait to return. When we dined in, we ordered a little bit of everything to share family style. I personally enjoyed the nachos, tacos, flan, and of course, some tasty margaritas. For the tacos, people at my end were loving the asada. After eating a chicken & a fish taco, I was completely satisfied, but...my sister insisted I try the roasted poblano con queso taco. This is not something I'd typically order, but- I am so glad she talked me into it. All those delicious flavors and textures really compliment each other so well... Had that been my first taco of the night, there would have been no need to try anything else. Yum! Just thinking about it makes me want to drive out there right now! Flash forward 4-5 months later & still craving those tacos... Luckily, someone was willing to pickup a carryout order for us on their way out of the city. I was so excited to try the food again. Everything was so delicious on that first order, but I thought nachos would be soggy by the time they made it to us. I really wanted to try the spicy chipotle shrimp tacos, but I wasn't sure how those would travel either, so this time we tried the Family Taco Pack-w/asada & carnitas, chips & guac, and a poblano bowl. We are really big eaters over here, and I wanted to make sure we had plenty. The guys dove into the taco pack, and I went straight for the chips and guac. There was plenty of food for dinner, lunch the next day, and a snack with the remaining chips and salsa. I so wish this place were closer, as we eat Mexican food at least once a week. I think the prices are fair for the tasty, high quality food and friendly service. Although I don't mind spending money, I am definitely someone who LOVES a good deal. That being said, I recommend ordering the family taco pack again & again. Maybe I'll get 2 the next time so I can "Share my Tortillas", and for sure more of that fresh guac!! Would love some Taco Mucho right now... Yeah, gonna plan a drive out there REAL SOON!!! read more

Just stop trying to find other food and go to taco mucho. The quality far exceeds any other taco place nearby. Great environment, insanely delicious, and when considering how much it costs to eat anywhere today it is actually affordable. Never had an issue with service or cleanliness. Will be back time and time again. read more

The food is really great. I've been eating here since I moved to south Oak Park in 2021. I had a problem with a double charge from them on my credit card recently and Ron the owner was awesome about resolving it. I highly recommend Taco Mucho. Great people. read more

I've been there three times this summer and love their vegetarian tacos and nacho platter. Clean. Quick service. Friendly.

this place is Terrble. I have been waiting almost an hour for food. and they got my order wrong. if they want to charge $5 or more for tacos then they should be a real resta read more

I lived farther with tons of taco places. Gotta say this beats all of them. Had the steak taco and chicken taco, both were wonderful but it was the steak taco that did it for me. Tender ribeye that was grilled with the marinade that cuts through the salsa. Tortillas made inhouse. Usually all you taste is the onion and cilantro, not with this, everything was thought out and complemented each other. All this and the fact that it sat for 30 mins for delivery. read more

Outstanding carne asada tacos! Rice was delicious. Definitely home made taste! Will return!

The food is great. We order often from this place. The hours are odd but worth the wait.

Carnitas torta is the best sandwich in OP!! And the coconut marg is fantastic... Taco Mucho is such a great addition to OP :)

High quality ingredients with friendly service. The rice is delicious and my husband really enjoyed the steak tacos. I had the fish taco which had good flavor but the portion size of the fish is way too small. I would try the fish tacos again but buy extra fish so the ratio of fish to tortilla is proportional read more

Good food (we had guac and chips, so so; shrimp tacos, whitefish taco, and poblano taco; 1x rice and beans on the side). Expensive for what we got especially with the bare-bones presentation. Very disappointed to get tiny cardboard "plates" to eat off of, plastic cups, and plastic utensils (not delivered with or order to eat with but stuck into the rice and beans for serving--what gives?) WHEN DINING IN. Such waste. read more

I wanted to enjoy this local business and I totally understand that we live in a time of inflation and supply chain issues. But 3 tacos are $15, chips and salsa cost $6 more, and you still have to pay for rice ($4) and beans ($4). So dinner for two costs at least $40, likely more, and that's before you get a margarita or anything else. And you're ordering at the counter and getting no more than minimal waiter service. The margarita was so-so, the tacos were fine but not great, but all in all we did not leave the restaurant satisfied. On top of that we got pretty grouchy service from everyone. It seems like people love this place but we won't be going back. read more

Great local restaurant. Basic menu with excellent food. Traditional Mexican bar options. Fun and lively vibe inside with outdoor sidewalk dining available as well. Food served promptly and well-prepared. Staff is friendly and professional. If you are looking for your favorite Mexican restaurant in Oak Park, this place is it. read more
