This place has the best steak on the southside. I don't know what they do to their meat, but it is untouchable by any other restaurants always flavorful always fresh. The service is great most times I do call my order in and it's typically ready within the time that they give you if you'd like to sit down inside the restaurant it's a great atmosphere definitely family friendly. I love that since they moved to the new location across the street that the food still taste just as good and it's still just as fresh. excuse my bite, but I couldn't wait to eat when I pick my order up in the parking lot. I took the first bike before I pulled it off to go home. This was their quesadilla that they called the machete. I ate it in two different days. Steak meat, cheese, and cilantro and onion is inside. Perfecto!!! 10/10 always!!! read more

I finally got to check this spot out with my husband. The place was packed so we had to wait for seating but it wasn't a long wait at all. I love the fact that this restaurant has an agua Fresca station and has a plethora of different flavors like: Rompope, Strawberry, Jamaica, Chicle, pepino, regular horchata, tamarindo, taro, mango and fresh juices. I ordered the huarache dinner with chicken, it came with rice and beans and my husband ordered 6 different tacos and two chicharon gorditas. The physical menu doesn't have the prices on them but you can scan the QR code and the online menu will pop up with the pricing. The prices are a tad pricier, that's probably why they don't display them on the physical menu. I don't really like menus that don't display prices because that usually means things are pricier. I'm the type that likes to know upfront how much things cost. Our server Luis did a good job but the lady that prepped our table didn't give us salsa. You're supposed to have tortilla chips, three bottles of salsa and a little ramekin of regular salsa, so we asked Luis for some. One thing I didn't appreciate was the fact that one female waitress rudely grabbed the tortilla chips away from our table without asking if we were done eating. I was enjoying the chips and that just blew me away. I wasn't in the mood to cause a scene so we just paid and left once our extra take home order was handed to us. Update: My husband ended up with an upset stomach and spent the whole morning in the bathroom after eating here. It's unfortunate because we thought the place was ok. read more

A long piece of hair in my burrito I'm so disappointed. If that piece of hair wasn't in my burrito I would've given a 5 star. But I don't eat hair read more

Blown away by how good this place is. I've only had delivery, but it traveled well. Gordita de Chicharron and Enchiladas Rojos were excellent. The steak and chorizo tacos were also great. Good tortillas and the little branded salsa packs were surprisingly natural and tasty! The drink options were endless and also super good. With so much variety i really didn't think it would all be a big hit but it was. I will definitely go back! read more

We came late at night and we had my dog mocha. He's a 13 pound shihtzu yorkie. They now have a patio area and I asked if we could sit outside with him and they said yes. They also gave him a cup of water. The food was extra delicious, per usual. If you get one thing let me be anything carne asada. It's literally perfect! I've always had the horchata but today I had the agua de tamarindo and it did not disappoint. They were playing a soccer game my boyfriend wanted to watch so that was an extra bonus. Ambiance? 10/10 read more

Huge portions and so many great options to choose from. The steak and al pastor tacos were both great, as was the guac and horchata (possibly the largest cup I've ever had). The place itself has plenty of seating, booths and tables. They also have a parking lot! read more

We previously had tacos from their taco truck when they were in the stages of opening their new location. Those tacos were cold and really not that great.cwe decided to try their new location and overall it was good. The asada was the best part of the meal, very tasty. The alpastor tacos were ok, reminded me of atotonilco but with a muted taste. Overall would come back to try other items off the menu read more

Hi guys and girls so this place is good for sure. Our waitress did not check up on us after she took our order at all but two other ladies came by and made sure we had everything. Warning though if you order a quesadilla machete style they are big two ppl definitely will be full with one only so you can share the Gorditas are also bigger than your usual place so ask how big are they lol. The waters are fresh made in house so they are good and please order one. Place was clean for sure good looking place also. read more

I really enjoy their food but I had never had a problem with them until today. I called to place a take out order and because my order was over $50.00 I was told I had to pay in advance. I told the lady I was driving so I wasn't able to read her my card number and that I would pay in cash when I arrived to pick up my order. She told me no, I had to pay in advance and that they would take my order when I arrived at the restaurant. I wouldn't have a problem paying in advance but this was the first time I was told I had to do this. I have placed take out orders from them up to $100 and never was I required to pay before hand. If this is a policy they have in place then it should be stated on their website or somewhere in their establishment and also be consistent. read more

Definitely recommended for ambiance and outdoor dining option and obviously food. Great tacos!! Highly recommend Asada and Alpastor. read more

After a 6 hour drive Lexington, Kentucky to Chicago we stopped by a taco place my brother suggested when he went there. Every table was taken which we had to wait 10 minutes for a table. We ordered our food and bought some agua frescas. The agua frescas are absolutely amazing good taste and great amount of sweetness. They gave us some very dry nachos and the waiters were taking so long to bring us the drinks when we were dying of thirst. They brought us the tacos but my aunts tacos were pork and she doesn't eat pork we tried to tell them to refund and they did. The tacos overall were good especially the asada ones they make people full fast. The al pastor tacos were not so good compared to the tacos in Mexico when i went there in July for vacation. The interior was nice its cold but fancy almost feels like Mexico inside. read more

Been here twice ,extremely slow service Tacos flavor is not bad but they behaving a lot of fat pieces . Food is alright but is extremely overpriced . read more

Sin duda, estos son los mejores tacos de Chicago! Ofrecen una gran variedad de tacos y de platillos, pero mis tacos preferidos son los de asada, cecina y cabeza.

The service left a lot to be desired. They got my first order wrong, I let them know and then they proceeded to get my second order wrong as well. At that point I just gave up and asked for a refund. I won't be coming back. read more

Been seeing posts for this place and had to check it out! It's a bit of a drive but it was well worth it. Looks like they moved from the location they had across the street, bc they were in a nice new building with good amount of seating inside. And the hype is real...we ended up waiting for a table for 45 minutes. It was busy. So at the beginning service was a little slow getting to us but they were polite and helpful. So many options on the menu, which I like! Food came and it was good! I kept seeing these big tacos, and it was big! Got a lot of food and it was reasonably priced. We all enjoyed it. And they are byob which worked out. I am planning on going back real soon. read more

This place is fire. The food portions and quality is very very good. The service is on point. I highly recommend their al pastor tacos. The have great food combos. The place is very clean and they make sure you are comfy. So if your the area its a must try. read more

Every time I go westbound on 59th street from Western Avenue I see people crossing the street from the restaurant 2 an outdoor seating area. The owners recently bought a vacant building across the street so they will be expanding the spot. I wanted 2 give them a try. I found free street parking. The host/cashier spoke Spanish which I quickly informed her I spoke English. She asked me if I was going to pay cash or credit. I asked why and she said that if I paid cash we would need to go 2 another register. Kinda odd a guy was mixing sauce next to her on the countertop and no gloves on. It took about 6-7 minutes..no prob. I ordered 4 steak tacos since the order taker didn't know what ground beef was. Another co-worker had to intervene. 4 tacos for $19. . They were $4.30, are they worth it?? Hmmm...it was good but not blown away. Cheese, sour cream & avocado is $.68 more per taco. Jesus. If I felt like cooking I definitely would. It stated I was supposed 2 receive grilled onions & peppers, radish & cucumbers but I didn't. Would I go back? No because . The cashier didn't want to speak English . The cashier didn't know what ground beef was . The prices . Not receiving all items promised to me per menu. read more

Very good pricey but worth it they might be a little busy and parking isn't that good but that's just because it's Always busy

One of the best taco places on the southside Great service Greg steak tacos and grapes Chilaquiles read more

If I lived in the area I probably would go back. Everything was pretty good. The server had a difficult time understanding what we were saying, so I wish I was more fluent in Spanish. There was a really cool mural on the wall and good music playing. No big complaints, no big celebrations either. Check them out if you're in the area. read more

Decided to give this place another try and so glad I did! Our first impression of the establishment was poor given prior bad service... but I think they were having an off day at the time. Service was excellent this time around. I had the steak burrito, which was massive and had onion and cilantro- I would have preferred the lettuce/beans/sour cream style- but the steak was DELICIOUS. My husband had steak and al pastor tacos and the meat was seasoned very, very well. The horchata is very tasty and not too sweet. Will definitely be coming back! read more

went there and tried their Burrito and was pleasantly surprised of how big it was even when I did not want any lettuce which pretty much makes the Burrito full. The taste of the steak was delicious. I had a Agua Fresca (Orchata) and could not believe that I paid $8.00 for a large drink (technically served in a medium glass) and the taste was to sweet I had to diluted with water. I feel their menu is over priced. There are other good restaurants in the area with same flavor and less expensive....that's why it gets four stars. LOWER YOUR PRICES A BIT! YOU ARE NOT IN DOWNTOWN. read more

The service we got today was not good at all the service was not ok either the food was horrible my order was very greasy I could not eat it and my husband order two tacos and after he finish he order two more different meat and they told him they didn't have what he order very disappointed with the service read more

The al pastor and asada here are one of the best I've ever had in my life. The service and the ppl were great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Never really came to this place because it's so expensive. Only ever ordered the chilaquiles because they were the only sensibly priced item. Went to order yesterday and I realized they DOUBLED the price . The food is not worth the money. 21 dollars for one basic plate is INSANSE. read more

Can't even hold it in my hand without flopping over. Other than that, the food was very tasty and not too salty! "Too much tortilla"

There was Fast service, good al pastor tacos and the aguas frescas so delicious will definitely go back again.

This is by far one of the worst places Ive ever been to get tacos. Tried somewhere new living in a new area, it was a mistake. The service was horrible. The food was horrible. I actually would've preferred not to do this review but people need to be warned of places like this. I dont know if its because of the area or what but it was a bad experience. The food was disgusting and greasy. The tortillas were thick and oily and the bistec was flavorless it was a waste of time and money. I got three bistec tacos con crema y cilantro y cebellos con queso. My bf got a steak gordita he said it was terrible. The verde sauce wasnt even good. Overall I was very disappointed. I will not return and I do not recommend. read more

The food is not bad but not great the tacos are overpriced And like a previous customer said they imposed a gratuity tax of 18 percent plus the penalty charge for paying with a card on a table of 5 and a baby. Overall I'm giving 1 star because they tend to over charge and very average food read more

My review is simply going on a take out experince. Ive never ate at the location. That said i went online to look at menu and pictures of course of options. I chose a quesadilla small pictured below what i git instead was a reg taco with melted cheese. Im not sure why they advertise a picture that completely does not look like a reg taco on there website. I thought i was ordering a smaller version of there reg. Quesadilla but i guess jokes on me. I called to clear miscommunication and i didnt understand why i couldnt speak to a manager very weird. Until i explained my situation and got said ok ill transfer. I asked didnt you say youre tge supervisor and i was told oh shes busy. So basicly as a customer im not priority lol. read more
