Good Gyro tacos. Good burritos. Good tacos. Fair prices too. It's fast food not gourmet dining but give it 5 stars for its fast food category read more

Order here monthly! Great owners/service and more importantly food! I never pass up buy 1 get 1 gyros. I'm Greek, just saying haha but this high quality meat. And their burrito (steak) is my fav in Old Town!! read more

It was normal-good. Not as amazing as some other places but still had solid food. We ordered a burrito with everything on it, a torta and a side of elote. The best part was the elote (because everything else was a little dry). Appreciated the staff's friendly faces. Overall, the area was clean but not a place I would ever sit down and eat at. Get it if you need something quick! Otherwise, I think there are much better places in Old Town. - AT read more

One of our favorite hole-in-the-wall spots in the city. Good price, quick, friendly service, and always hits the spot. We particularly love the steak tacos and elote. read more

Good food, good folks, fast and efficient service. Large and ample portions. A better kind of fast food

giving 3 stars because of the quantity does not justify the price. its $4.25 for a taco with cilantro and onions and they're a very thin. Almost the same thickness as a Jose Olé taquito ‍. Please see the photos. The flavor is great! but can't make up for the small amount of meat placed inside. i had more toppings than steak. The restaurant is very clean and the service was average read more

Awesome food, very authentic Mexican food. It's very clean inside and they get your order out fast. I've been many times and keep returning!

Everything about here was just alright. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. I'm not a huge meat eater, so I got a veggie taco. It would have been a lot better if it had bell peppers & onions on it, but it was mostly just rice. Overall, very dry. I did love the tortillas, they were very fresh. Also loved how quick & convenient this place was. read more

We ordered from here in the past and thought it was fine. This past weekend we ordered again and it was GREAT!! We had the carne tacos and burrito and both were so delicious!! The quesadilla was very tasty as well. I don't know if they are under new ownership (they changed the name and added gyros) but I highly recommend this place for really, really good food and service! read more

I've always ran by this spot and I'm so happy I finally stopped in! Authentic flavors and great hospitality! This will certainly be my late night taco spot! read more

Super solid taco joint. Looks like the homies / owner runs it. Fast service when you drop in for take out. Fresh ingredients, and it's consistent. It's definitely a week night staple when I'm wanting something fresh but fast. Arguably the best guacamole in Chicago. read more

So happy to have another Mexican restaurant option in the neighborhood! They had a promo when they first opened so we went all in and ordered a Fiesta Taco Tray for carryout. Although you can only select one meat option in the online ordering system, we called and confirmed that you can add instructions to have a variety of meats in the 20 taco tray, so we got them all - asada, pollo, chorizo, y pastor. It's hard to pick a favorite, but my top two are the asada and chorizo. The Fiesta Tray came with grilled peppers and onions as well as plenty of salsa on the side. These are quality tacos for a better/cheaper price compared to other restaurants in the area. Excellent first experience and I'm sure we'll be back soon! read more

The best authentic Tacos in Old Town. Always quick service too. It was our go-to take-out Mexican several times a month when we lived in the area. read more

I have ordered from Taqueria Express on DoorDash a few times and was consistently very impressed. A, with how quickly the food arrived at my door--they are fast! B, and most importantly, the taste. I've had a lot of authentic carne asada Mexican tacos in my life, and I can comfortably say that Taqueria Express does it right. I really have no complaints, other than that the tacos are on the smaller side. My first time, I had gotten 3, but my good friend who eats here almost daily said that he recommends getting 4. That is what I will be doing from now on. If you're looking for quick, authentic Mexican tacos in Chicago, you won't be disappointed to try them out read more

If I could, I would've gave this place 0 star review. My girlfriend and I got a two 3 taco dinners, and a large horchata to share. For my tacos, I got two carne asada and one al pastor. My girlfriend got two streak and one chorizo. How the heck did this turn out to be $44?! The taco dinner was $15.79 each. The large horchata was close to $5. If I did the math right, it would've cost $37 plus tax. Even the 10% tax still would've been $3.60 more. $36 + $3.60 still would've cost closer to $40. Where did the extra $4 come from? Probably from the hidden surcharge of using card fees or changing the tacos. The cashier who took our order (older light-skinned male) didn't even tell me as he was typing the numbers on the register. At least inform your customers what are extra charges instead of breezing through it. UNREAL. The food...man, I couldn't even tell you. The rice was undercooked, the beans were very watery, the steak was undercooked on the tacos, and the horchata was very sweet. If I would've known it was that sweet, I would've got a Coke. Honestly, for $4 a taco, they're small. I would consider it as a kid's meal taco dinner. The only good thing was the al pastor and chorizo tacos and the tortillas of the tacos. Oh, I forgot to mention, their bathrooms are clean too. The ambiance was somewhat okay. I could tell their eyes were on us while we were eating. Of course, my girlfriend and I were critiquing the food. As a person who enjoys tacos (Pacos Tacos, Atotonilco, Zacatacos), this may have to be on the bottom of the list. Maybe one-up over Taco Bell. Overall, would I come back here again? Most likely not. I wouldn't even recommend this to a friend. In all honesty, this place is overpriced, hence the location is in Gold Coast. Of course, I would have thought it was decent at first based off the reviews, but the residents of Gold Coast would pay overpriced tacos. It's really a good spot, but BE AWARE! What you pay is not what you get. I really should've took my money to Au Cheval down the street and still get the satisfaction of paying $44 and being full. OHH AND AFTER ALL OF THIS, WE WEREN'T EVEN FULL. my girlfriend and I ended up spending $30 at Au Cheval and was completely satisfied. read more

A small place for a quick meal or take out. Extremely clean. I had a chorizo taco and the Al pastor. Both excellent. Close to Walter Payton HS. read more

We were from out of town. Ate here before heading to a concert. Food was fresh, quick, and plentiful!! Had we known the servings were so big we might have split food. Definitely worth your money. The food was amazing!! We each had something different and everyone said they loved their order. When we're back in Chicago will definitely come back here. read more

Really good, quick, authentic tacos! I got chicken tacos with beans and rice. The rice is very moist, not dry at all.

One of the worst Mexican restaurants I've ever been to in Chicago. I typically always expect at least somewhat authentic and decent food when I go to any random hole-in-the-wall Mexican spot in Chicago. I cannot say the same about this place. I got the Chorizo Torta and Elote cup. The Chorizo tasted the same from the $3 chorizo available at Aldi. The torta was lacking that pop in flavor you'd expect from an authentic Mexican torta. It was also much smaller than other tortas I've had from other spots. Was edible but very mediocre. The elote cup was gross. It was soggy and tasted like a corn soup made of Mayo and water. I couldn't finish it as the texture was horrible. My stomach started hurting within 10 minutes of finishing my food, and I've eaten a lot of Mexican food here. Do yourself a favor and eat authentic Mexican food someplace else. read more

Excellent torta and burrito. Great value for our money. Clean restaurant. The only thing missing is a margarita.

Awesome! Tried Taqueria Express today, and it hit the spot. I had the pastor taco salad and my wife had the Asada or Pastor burrito (can't remember sorry). Both were really good, and the price is unbeatable for the area. I asked for extra salsa and they came through! I noticed the only negative review was from someone looking for authentic Mexican, then complained about the nachos she ordered. These guys are working hard, and I felt compelled to help offset her misguided review because the food is great. We will be making this a regular spot! read more

Taqueria Express - Mr. Gyros - Pastor Taco Salad and a Asada Burrito with lots of house made hot sauce!!! - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great little place if you're looking for some good Mexican food! I had the taco dinner with two al pastor tacos and a chicken taco with rice and beans. The tacos were good, the al pastor was my favorite of the two. Definitely meant more for pick up, with only about 10 chairs inside, but you can eat inside if you want (my friend and I did). And it's definitely on the cheaper side for the amount of food you get. Recommend giving it a try if you're in the area! read more

This review is just for their DoorDash ordering experience. The first time I ordered, they confirmed it and I waited over 1.5 hours for it and it never came. It looked like the driver was on their way, but then it just said canceled. The restaurant or DoorDash couldn't help me with confirming whether or not it was ever picked up. The second time, I ordered at 8 and then at 8:45, DoorDash just said it was canceled because the restaurant was closed (they close at 9pm). It seems they received my order and confirmed it, but then chose to cancel it 45 minutes later. Pretty inconvenient to wait that long to then get my food canceled at the last minute. So I've ordered from them twice and haven't gotten food yet. read more

There is a severe lack of authentic Mexican food in the Old Town/ Gold Coast area (I'm biased & spoiled due to formerly living in Logan Square). I'm really glad Taqueria Express popped up over here bc there's nothing like a no-frills, authentic, hole in the wall Mexican food craving. This place hits the spot for a reasonable price. From the tacos to the burrito bowls, everything is good! read more

Taqueria Express - Mr. Gyros - Chorizo Burrito Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place has the best meat! Hardly any fat in their steak! Best burrito I've had in a long time!

This place is good, not great and I know Covid killed everything and inflation is at an all time high. However a coke, side of Mexican rice and a steak burrito is a few cents under 20 bucks via take out. I'm thinking that's a little steep and if Yelp had the $$$$$ review it should get 5 for what it is. read more

Got this while on lunch in the city. I was starving, would've ate anything and it would've been amazing. Got the carnitas taco dinner and it was like eating a rice cake with no flavor. Meat was dry with no flavor. Sauce provided tasted way too sweet to be anything authentic. This is all for a price of $18+ Definitely not worth at all. No disrespect, but if you're charging that much...fix your food. read more

I walked by this place last week and was so excited that we were getting a fast food Mexican place. I talked with the owner today who said they opened two months ago during the covid-19 scare. I ordered a couple of bowls and elote. The pork was great and had chunks of pineapple which surprised me. I plan to come once a week to order more food and help them succeed. You should do the same!! The food I have had thus far is worth it!!! read more

The food isn't bad, but it's also not good. I feel bad leaving this review, because the guys working there seemed nice enough. But there was something off with the food, it really just wasn't very good. Couldn't put my finger on it, but I want to say it was either the steak or the rice, or one of the vegetables were past there prime. I live close, so I'll give it another go, but this time the food was underwhelming. Also, a 5% charge to use a card is almost enough for me to never come back. If the food were better I might be more accepting of the charge, but not for mediocre food. read more

I order on doordash from here frequently and omg. ITS SO GOOD. Reordered like 4x so far. Really authentic tacos and ive tried places in pilsen and california/ny etc. quality of the meat is amazing and no fatty pieces. Love their quesadilla. Rice and beans are amazing too. Also they pay attention to any notes you leave on doordash so love the service. Will be ordering from here more often and highly recommend!! Carne asada (steak) tacos w onion and cilantro 100/10 read more

Quick and easy Mexican food by GC/Old Town! We picked up street tacos that were the perfect size and 3 will fill you up with a side of rice and beans. The tres leches was also surprisingly good too. Ordering online and picking up was easy to do, but also stopping by for an order to pick up is a breeze. read more

Lean, flavorful steak on the tacos. Love the salsa verdi. Pleasant, fast service. Burritos also good. Next time trying the taco salad - never been disappointed yet with their food. I usually grab to go but there is counter seating. Always clean read more

I stopped by here yesterday, and let me tell you I was genuinely impressed by both: food and customer service. I decided to try out a dinner plate and their steak tacos are amazing! It's not the typical low quality meat often served at other taco joints, I'm talking high quality beautifully striated steak with so much great flavor. I enjoyed it so much, I had to get another one later. I also tried the Jamaica drink and it was pure perfection. Cannot wait to return and try out the rest of the menu. Very impressed with the quality here, highly recommend! read more

Tacos as way too small. Asada had good flavor the chicken tacos seem to be a little on the salty side.

Ok, so we ordered 30 tacos and a few side items- same day delivery. I don't know who is managing this place. But the way the food was presented and how it tested.. DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend. read more

Taqueria Express is delicious, authentic, high-quality, and, above all, consistent. I have lived within a block of this restaurant for the past four years and have ordered from them approximately 50-75 times in that span, and every single time, the food has been tasty and the service has been impeccable. My order has always been ready quickly, they've never once forgotten an item or gotten any part of my order wrong, they always remember to throw in their complimentary salsa rojo and salsa verde, they always include utensils, and their service is always friendly and professional. And the food is not just delicious; it's consistently delicious. If you eat at any restaurant 50-75 times, you're bound to get one or two meals that just aren't quite as good as the rest. Even the best have an off night every once in a while. But not Taqueria Express. The food tastes the same every single time, and it tastes delicious every single time. That kind of consistency is extremely rare and speaks to the skill, authenticity, and hardworking attitude of the people who run this fine establishment. read more

Best Mexican spot in the area. Pastor burrito was excellent, service was quick, place was clean.
