Loaded fries medium

It was good she was really nice and was patient the tacos are amazing and fresh 10/10 would definitely eat again

Ultra Cliantro Taco

Too much cilantro, tasted artificial lime on the asada. Only tried the tacos. I still ate it though, only because I was hungry enough

I will never go back to this place... Service: I had terrible service from the young lady taking orders and helping the cook is rude and has a bad attitude about service...she ignored me the whole time. Food: A joke! I ordered beef enchiladas and asked for beef 2x the man said yes I also said I wanted red sauce he shook his head yes...just for a sale cause apparently when I called them back the girl said we only have chicken! I said the guy said beef she said NO we don't have beef enchiladas. Well the food is not fresh and the chicken smelled like dog food and tasted funny. Threw it in garbage. 2 stars for the CORN! NEVER AGAIN

This was my first time here and I have to say the food is really good. It was a take out due to COVID19 but still worth the drive. I had the shrimp and fish tacos. We also got steak tacos and refried beans. The taste of these tacos were just what we were looking for, authentic tacos. I will be coming back again.

Elote in a cup. Hot, fresh and delicious

I just got tacos from a place in Oaklawn because I was nearby. Let me tell you, I will never cheat on Taqueria Baja again! Didn't even come close! Taqueria on 111th Halsted is awesome. The first time I went, they refused to wait on a customer because he didn't have on a mask. It says it on the door and at the window that masks are required for service but he still tried to order without a mask. I was so pleased to see a restaurant adhering to the guidelines and keeping everyone safe. Oh and the food?? Delicious! The steak melts in your mouth, the chicken tacos are stuffed, the corn is delicious and the guacamole is some of the best that I've ever had. Also, the portion size of the gauc is really generous. Do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed. Bring a mask!

Opening of Burrito with no tomatoes Steak

You have Tacos Tuesday but today is burrito Wednesday. This is a very good place to get your fix for Tacos, Burritos, Corn in cup or anything Mexican food wise. The Horochata was sweet, Cinnamon Great mix of both not overly sweet. My Burrito was Steak extra sour cream no tomatoes then Corn in cook not spicy because my daughter is weak . The steak is very tender and Seasoned well. Always Friendly and never take to long.

3tacos left from my husband taco dinner.  ( he only ate the rice ). And the bottom is my whole meal

So the food is horrible No seasoning pwhat so ever Not properly prepared I had to re- grill my meal because it wasn't done Paid 27 dollars for a taco dinner and quesadilla dinner. If they was giving out free food I still wouldn't come back. I DO APPRECIATE THE CLEANLINESS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT It's a NO for me still

This place is doing a Taco Tuesday special. From 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, you can get chicken or beef tacos for $1.49 each. FYI!

Menu

I have just about had everything on the menu! Maybe that's an exaggeration, however, I've had a lot of the items on the menu. I am most impressed with the chicken products, while everything is pretty damn good. What is most impressive is the level of customer service. You can tell this is a family owned business and they take pride and treating their customers well. There are several other restaurants in the immediate area that should take notes from place! Highly, highly recommend it.

Customer service is great. My food is always good. The place is close to my house so I always go here for my tacos. Never a bad experience.

Burrito ala deabla, con shrimp. Highly recommend. In general the tacos are delicious…read more Environment is great and working personal are super nice. Been a customer for over years now. Bar inside which is a plus. Bathrooms are always clean. Five star all around and a must check out!! Dine in or sit outside

My first time here, and it was such a great experience. Delicious food and a really fun vibe!…read more We walked in around 12:30pm Saturday, and even though the place was pretty packed, we were seated right away! I ordered the Paloma, and my husband got the Michelada, both super refreshing and made well. For food, I ordered the El Gringo with rice and salad. I definitely wish I had swapped the salad for beans, because my husband got both rice and beans, and I ended up finishing my rice and helping with his too lol. Highly recommend this dish, just go for the beans instead of the salad! My husband also ordered three tacos: Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Carne Asada, all of which were really good. One of the fun touches is that they have QR codes at the table to leave a Google review, and if you do, you get to spin a prize wheel. Of course I had to try it, and it made the whole experience even more fun. I ended up winning a free double shot! The staff were all super friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the music gave it a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!
