Good authentic food, quick service. Found this spot browsing for a burrito. Will definitely be back.

One of the best spots for tacos in the Lansing area. The humble owner is hands-on in the kitchen and personally engages with customers, often stopping to chat. I've never seen him take a day off, nor have I seen anyone else come into the kitchen on his behalf. He truly exemplifies a "mom and pop" business in the area. He mentioned that he starts making his habanero sauce and other spicy sauces at 4 AM daily, as he handles all the prep work himself. Although it's a tiny joint, it offers a simple and comfortable atmosphere for diners. read more

Very good authentic fresh food. Pleasant service. Clean kitchen. Various sauces, guacamole and Mexican sodas. read more

Great tacos, and quick service. Only two tables inside tho, so you might want to consider take out.

This is such a shame, I ordered some chilaquiles without sauce and I asked them to add 1 more egg because I think he only added a single egg. Maybe people will think that this situation sounds silly, but I hope it never happens to them... really, what a shame. place I will never return ... read more

I've had Mexican all over the world, including the hotspots of Mexico, Peru, Texas, California, and the midwest. This place is legit, and is one of my favorite ones. The service was excellent, the food delicious, the ingredients excellent. While not the least expensive meal, it's certainly inexpensive, and I don't mind paying a bit more for the use of quality ingredients. I bought the legua burrito, in the largest size, and left a couple bucks tip, and it still cost me $15 or so. Easily, enough food for two people, if I wasn't such a glutton. I inhaled it, and then enjoyed the food coma. read more

One thing I always try at Mexican spots is the al pastor. The al pastor here was bland. But maybe al pastor isnt what this place does great. The service here is great. I will be returning to try something else. Update: I tried the carne Asada burrito. I wasn't impressed. Kinda bland in taste. They do hook you up on the fries if you order a large. read more

Taqueria La Soga - Al pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

Very friendly upon entering this establishment, checked out their reviews and needed some lengua tacos so being from Chicago we had to see if they were authentic enough to our liking. (The husband and I) so we ordered a steak burrito and a taco dinner and as the husband chatted with the gentleman on the grill who we both assumed was the owner he was very proud and insisted we would enjoy our meal. Even walked up to the counter and gave my husband a cup with lengua (beef tongue) in it to try as he prepped our food. We were so anxious we opened up our bag and started to eat in our vehicle and I can honestly say the tacos were beyond our expectations! Seasoned and flavorful and this to me is a very big shock knowing we frequent Little Village and Pilsen our wholes lives eating this as well as preparing this ourselves so just wanna say please go and try this spot!! We will visit every time he needs another taco and again thank you to the staff for being so kind to us. read more

My first time eating at Taqueria La Sofa. The owners are very nice, including the kids! The chicken tamales with the green sauce is DELICIOUS! I ordered 4 and ate them All within 30 minutes. Place was very clean, I will be returning to try their burrito. I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD AND TO TOP IT OFF , HOMEMADE! !!!! FOOD MADE WITH LOVE WILL KEEP YOU COMING BACK!! read more

Came out for the first time today and would go back for sure. This is a small taqueria, but has a couple small tables and stools. The prices were good. I had ordered a steak tacos, burritos, tortas and rice and beans. The rice and beans tasted authentic and not out of a can or what not. The steak had a good flavor and what not tough. They do a double tortilla for their tacos, so they are very filling. The super burrito was a decent size and their guacamole was excellent. We are going back for sure. read more

Friendly, helpful staff. Vegetarian and vegan options. Worth the drive. Limited seating. Hot sauce was great.

We ordered several burritos and tacos. The food was really good and very affordable. I wasn't a fan of their chips but they gave us several different salsas which were all good. read more

We went to this place on a holiday weekend, largely because it was one of the only places open and I was in the mood for Mexican food for breakfast. It is a small storefront in a strip mall. It was cold and rainy and I was in the mood for none of that, I got a three taco dinner- all I can say is WOW! I have not food that good since my paternal grandmother. The tongue was some of the best I have had and I recommend it over the other proteins for the tacos. the chorizo and eggs were excellent. The staff was friendly and the food on point. To be fair, this is primarily a takeaway place and, as such, no restrooms for the public; however the food is a must try. read more

I mean it's good, but not blow your mind good. Perhaps I simply got an off day meal. I don't remember if it was my steak taco or al pastor that had an almost inedible gristle to it, but it ruined the meal for me. In addition, it all tasted a bit under seasoned. The girl working was wonderful and the chips with salsa were very good. I'm definitely going to give this place another shot and will update then! read more

This is one of the best mexican food restaurants I've been on. Delicious tacos and an amazing Habanero sauce. read more

Favorite spot in Lansing! Very quick service and their burrito is the perfect size. Super friendly owners. Everything you could ask for

Still my favorite Mexican place in all of Chicagoland! Even after moving to Roger's Park, we always make sure to visit Taqueria La Soga when we are in town. The food remains excellent for a fabulous price, and the service is unbeatable! This little gem holds a special place in our hearts. We have yet to try an item on the menu that we don't love. Hopefully we'll get to drop by for breakfast some day! read more

Outstanding food. Low prices. Great family owned operated. Not much place to sit. 5 tables that can seat about a dozen people. Most places I have come to they simply don't buy good ingredients. Like steak for example. Here it always comes out juicy and never any grizzle or fatty chunks. Awesome catering options as well. Feed a family of ten here for $15. read more

First time there and wow.... legit street style tacos. Tried the carnitas, steak, and pastor. Pastor was amazing served with cilantro, onion and lime wedge. Tacos are loaded and the sides are good too. Price was fairly priced given the amount of meat you get. Support local business and go. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise (especially for the suburbs). Everything is homemade and you can really taste that in the food. The salsa is one of a kind. Guacamole from scratch and big portion. We had burritos and they were huge. Rice and beans had great flavor. To top it all off the service was great! Very friendly owner/chef and his son is amazing. They also sell tamales, carnitas, flan... read more

See all

The best Mexican restaurant out here! Truly authentic!

I had 2 vegan taco and guacomole, that was the best ever guacomole I have ever had. The vegan taco was loaded and so much for the money. Food is season very well a great new eatery edition to Lansing with authenic mexican food that is delicious. The owners are awesome, cant wait too taste the tamales tomorrow. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food is fresh, all made from scratch, delicious, and very affordable. Try it, you will not be sorry!

We came to this restaurant as the result of a recommendation. From the moment I stepped in the door I was impressed with the friendliness of the owner and in particular, his wife. The simplicity of the surroundings are completely overwhelmed by the cleanliness and atmosphere created by the genuine sense of warmth and welcome. You are served some really fresh (and complimentary) salsa which has an underlying trail of heat, along with yellow corn tortilla chips while you wait. I had the taco dinner, a large guacamole & chips. The meats (there's about 6 fillings to choose from) were tender and well seasoned. The fresh cilantro and salsa will bowl you over. The guacamole was creamy, fresh and delicious. The meal is served with very tender rice and refried beans which were delicious. We have a few genuine Mexican restaurants in the area, but Taqueria La Soga has something different about it, maybe a few things that make it stand out as better. I intend to try everything on the menu. There's something that invites you to do just that. I think love and caring are a big part of what they do here. Maybe that's the big difference. Come, see, taste. You'll be glad you did. read more

Authentic mexican food. I've been ordering take out food for a quite good time. Always good, same recipe plus a friendly service all the time. Highly recommended. read more

Congrats to the new owners. The tacos Al Pastor are spot on and the burrito is tasty and big, without being obnoxious. The Flan is near perfect in texture and not too sweet. The menu is a little pricier than the places on the N side of lansing. read more

Nice quaint restaurant. Food was good. Very good service. Mostly for carry out. Nice parking lot. I had the veggie burrito. It was very good. My son had the chicken burrito but said that the chicken tasted funny. read more

I come here a lot for work. It's open early so that we can have our lunch at 9 a.m lol. The workers are great and very friendly. I recommend the torta de pastor and carne azada.! Prices are good .! read more

What a great little place! First off: this is a small taqueria--a couple of tables and a small bar. No restroom. Service was friendly and quick, even with a busy takeout service. We had a pork torta that had a great mix of ingredients. The wet jumbo burrito was enough to feed my teenager well. And I had excellent juevos a la Mexicana. We were stopping on our way through--wished we lived nearer to come back! read more
