Lovely space, lovely service but the food was lacking. One of us ordered the ground beef protein bowl and there was no seasoning on the beef. Bland. I ordered the barbacoa quesadilla and they were 3 small taco-sized portions but the "wrap" (?) was spongy. The barbacoa was also underseasoned. The chips and queso were tasty read more

Most of the readers of this review live in Chicago. Those readers know perfectly well what Taco Pros is. For those readers who live in the Underprivileged World: (Underprivileged World = Not Living in Chicago. I got that particular definition out of Webster's Chicago Dictionary. That's a book they give to all Chicago kids at birth.) Residents of the Underprivileged World: Taco Pros is a Chicago based chain of fast food Mexican joints. They don't open till lunch time but stay open till 3 in the morning. A lot of Chicago shuts down early (or at least shuts down early by the standards of us Texas folks. We like restaurants, supermarkets, drugstores and convenience stores to stay open 24-7.) So when I wanted to eat dinner a little after midnight, Tacos Pros is what there was. I wanted to get full. I got full. The serving size was generous. The price was right. The food came out instantaneously to boot. * * * On that fast preparation of your order: I think they are on the system where as soon as in the back of your mind you start thinking that you might like Mexican, and you are mulling about pulling out your phone to see what restaurants might be nearby Taco Pros already knows you are coming, Taco Pros already knows what you are going to order and Taco Pros has already started packing your order into a bag. If it is not true that they know in advance that you are coming Then I have no idea how your order comes out so fast. Their speed is really impressive. * * * How is the food itself? Decent enough. Nothing was bad. Nothing gave me instant regrets a la "Out of Desperation, you actually ATE this? What in God's name, were you thinking? Let's see if we can avoid the stomach pump." There were no regrets to my Taco Pros dinner. I don't think I will ever apply the "no regrets" line to anything ever ordered from Taco Bell. * * * If you were coming to Chicago for a set of legendary meals, Would you make Taco Pros an essential part of your itinerary? Samuel C. will tell you you can definitely do better. But if it is late at night, and everything is closed, If your alternative is a bag of Doritos and a frozen hot pocket from a gas station convenience store Then Tacos Pros counts as an elegant banquet with along with chandeliers and good silver. And the food is legitimately not too bad. read more

A more authentic counter service version of Chipotle. Tried the barbacoa burrito - - it was piping hot and came with salsa and chips. An amazing value given the portions and extras. read more

I'm so sad to make this review because Taco Pros used to be my go to taco spot, but changes in their food are disappointing. I ordered my usual- 3 Barbacoa tacos & received three dry and cold tacos with pale colored meat. I genuinely thought they gave me pork because I've had their barbacoa so many times, these were unrecognizable. The service was great and they offered a replacement because I thought I received the wrong order but when they gave me 3 fresh new tacos it was the same thing- very dry pale colored beef. Barbacoa should never be dry! The salsa verde has also change and is now not spicy but creamy? As someone who has ordered here for years I hope they bring back the original recipes. read more

Ordered the shrimp tacos and was pleased on how fresh everything tasted. There are many other protein choices to choose from. You can order just tacos, or even upgrade to a combo meal. Prices were reasonable read more

Pretty good. I've ordered from Taco Pros a couple of times, and it's been fairly decent. The barbacoa tacos are my favorite, but the carne asada are okay too. The latter aren't the most flavorful, but they're decent. I didn't care for the chicken tacos at all, though. Those were bland. I did like the rice and beans, though. However, my sister didn't really care for the food at all, so there you go. She thought it was so-so. Order at your own risk. The buy 1, get 1 taco dinner offer is pretty sweet, so I'd continue to order from them. read more

They water down the sauces and the throw a bunch of onions and cilantro on the tacos in place of the meat food was not cooked all the way through just horrible 3x coming nothing changed ! read more

What a delightful surprise this lunch turned out to be! We tried the green enchiladas, served with beans and rice, along with a carne asada taco and a barbacoa taco. Every bite was a treat. The taco meats were perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender--definitely exceeded my expectations. The salsas were fresh and flavorful, though personally, I would have enjoyed a bit more heat. The staff was exceptionally friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu. Overall, a fantastic experience--highly recommend this spot! read more

This place for the 2nd time didn't open at 11. I was told the owner said don't open because the staff was late. This guy will not be in business very long! Go eat at Dos Bros! read more

Simple, but delicious vegetarian tacos. The perfect size for a snack. Would definitely order again.

First time today. A stranger told me about this " Welcome" addition to Hyde Park. I ordered the taco combo beans and rice. When I saw the grilled strip of pineapple on that pork..I knew I was in for a Treat. Absolutely delicious super fresh ingredients and the Rice and Beans were the classic style. Welcome to Hyde Park Taco Pros! DDJ read more

Had taco pros delivered through my corporate lunch service, fooda. The burrito was the perfect portion, size and ingredients were fresh. Standard rice and beans on the side with the combo. Whatever the green sauce was was delicious. Overall a great lunch, and very filling for a reasonable price of around $14. Thanks taco pros! read more

I typically only order from authentic Mexican restaurants, so I was a bit hesitant trying this place out. I don't regret it one bit! The chicken tacos are delicious. They are so nice and fast. I sat down to eat so I got chips and dips that were so fresh. It's the perfect place for a lunch break. read more

The food was good, but I could tell that an ingredient that I asked not to be added was added and then taken out. Best practice for any restaurant would be to make a new order since you never know who may have food allergies. read more

The tortilla chips were bland. Guac tasted weird. The burrito was mid. But great promo. Buy 1 burrito get 1 free.

Best steak burrito in the city. Solid customer service. If you go in person it's especially great being fresh AND then you get their amazing homemade warm salsa with chips. read more

I'm seriously questioning the palettes and honesty of every review of this place. This is my second time trying Taco Pros and this is by far the worst tacos I've ever had. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 0 considering the fact these are the most flavorless tacos I've ever tried. Even if you add the green and red sauce the flavor is lacking and you end up with a hint of spice and rubbery fatty bits of steak. The cilantro also leaves a bad aftertaste. As stated this is my second attempt at trying this place out. Both times I placed multiple orders, some which were duplicates (ex. 2 SEPERATE ORDERS OF THE SAME THING) heavy emphasis on the separate and both times they decided to place all the tacos into one container. I realize a lot of their business is hospital staff but not everyone is sharing their lunch. Both me and my friend were going in separate directions and didn't notice until we were already gone that they'd boxed our food into one container. The only reason I finished these tacos were because I was extremely hungry and also didn't want to waste my money. I also haven't written a review in quite some time and felt this place needed a review. I can say the establishment appears clean all the time, the cashier is friendly and prompt but both times didn't listen to get my order correctly and did what she wanted while packing the orders without first asking to see if I wanted everything into one container. She means well and this review isn't about her, it's about the subpar food I just indulged and the minutes of my life I can't get back writing this review and eating those tacos. read more

Taco Pros - Damen & Chicago - Looks are deceiving!!!!! Most bland tacos ever!!! NO FLAVOR!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Maybe these people are pros at making tacos, but I ordered a quesadilla and a burrito and it was some of the worst food I've ever had. The chicken was extremely dry and cut up into tiny pieces. There was no amount of sauce that could have covered up this dryness of chicken. I'm not sure if there was cheese on the quesadilla either. TL;DR - chicken is dry read more

It's a bummer they changed the quesadillas to tacos for some reason ‍. The Barbacoa and green salsa aren't the same any more either. We use to come here weekly for lunch but I guess that's over. read more

I've been to other Taco Pros and loved the food. The Hyde Park location was a big disappointment. The chicken tacos were overcooked and bland. The manager's shirt was dirty, and that was a turnoff. I will not go back. read more

Happy Friday everyone, I just got done working, I had a craving for some authentic Hispanic cuisine. I went to Taco Pros and I saw they didn't have chorizo on the menu and I guess it wasn't on the menu for a late afternoon order, however they allowed me to get chorizo with the torta. Best Hispanic food I have had for awhile really good bite. Seating is available in all the locations as well as take out. read more

Excellent food and excellent service! Not always easy to find both these days, but this place is great.

Reliably good food. Best tortas of any chain in Chicago. Speedy preparation - always ready ahead of schedule.

Ordered takeout. Food was meh, and not worth the $20 for four tacos. Can't speak to the customer service, but the ambiance of the place seemed nice enough. read more

The steak tacos from here were super yummy. They come with onions, lettuce, cilantro, and diced tomatoes (can ask for without of course). If you choose a meal for $12.99 you can get a side of fries and a soda or beans and rice. You order your food at the counter, but they'll bring the food out to your table. When you eat in they also serve you with a bowl of chips and salsa. Took off some points for the peculiar salsa. It came boiling hot, with steam and everything!! We also had to ask 3 separate times for a cup of water. The first time, the girl gave the water to the wrong table, second time she approached us and asked what we were waiting for, and then she sent the manager whom asked us the same (what we were waiting for). read more

I never leave reviews but the food was so ridiculously bad i had too. Worst rice, beans, tortillas, and meat possibly in the entire state. If you hate well seasoned food this is the perfect place. Everything tastes and smells like it came from under the sink especially the beans. read more

I discovered this place two weeks ago and I think I've already been there 8 times at least. Lol. For price and quality, this is as good as it gets. At some point in recent history, every place in my neighborhood thought I'd be a good idea to change 6 bucks for a taco. I blame it on the trendy joints like Big Star, Antique Taco, Takito, etc. None of which are traditional. Like why are you putting radish on my taco? And for whatever reason traditional places around here followed suit. I typically travel to Pilsen to get my fix. But then came my saving grace, Taco Pros! For the record, it takes more than a reasonable price to patronize me. Their food is excellent and consistent . The meat is quality. Always comes out hot. Good cuts. I love the way they lightly fry the tortilla. Large portions. The last time I was there I ordered a nacho and I was only able to finish half of it. They bring you chips and salsa which are also delicious. I honestly have a hard time believing a place like this exists in my area. With the price of everything skyrocketing everywhere, this place feels like I walked into another dimension. read more

The staff angie was very helpful in assisting me with my order. The food was amazing and fresh

Angie was a great cashier was very helpful fast service clean food is great friendly environment

We used to spend a lot of time in Mexico City, and this place is pretty much on par with the best tacos we have had there! The staff at this location is great, and the tacos were just amazing - flavorful, great portion size, and with all the right accompaniments - lime, onions/cilantro, and even chips and salsa at the beginning. The tortillas and the meats felt high quality and we will definitely be returning to this location. One thing to note is that the other locations don't compare and are just average. They didn't bring out the chips & salsa at all, as well as the accompaniments - lime etc. The staff & atmosphere there felt less professional and not really up to standard. However, this Ukranian village location is a gem. Keep up the good work! read more

I decided to try this place even though it looks cursed (it's always empty and Taco Pros is such a boring mall food court type of name) and the tacos were.....extremely okay. The chips and salsa however, were exceptional!! The chips were super well seasoned which I was not expecting, and the salsa was warm? I've never had salsa served warm but it was realllllllly good. 5/5 chips and salsa 2/5 tacos read more
