sexy crispy SHRIMP (GF) (left) @ extra-juicy CHICKEN (GF) (right)

Mark T.

Let me tell you something... the Sexy Crispy Shrimp are in a league of their own. Absolutely and total perfection, with no notes (at least, no critiques). The shrimp was cooked and breaded flawlessly, the slaw added an ideal level of freshness, and the sauce leveled up the savoriness and overall flavors. While I would have been happy to munch on these all day long, variety is the spice of life, thus I branched out. I also had the privilege of trying the Extra-Juicy Chicken, the West Side Ground Turkey, and the Bangin' Beef. These three were also terrific, Taylor's does not skimp on proteins whatsoever, but also doesn't overload them for the sake of it. Proteins themselves had cosmic levels of flavor, and all (including the chicken) were tender and did not feel as though they've been sitting in a hotel pan for a few hours. While I wanted to say the chicken feels as though it needs something to punch up the flavor, I Only one note here: these three tacos felt as though they needed something a little crisp/fresh to offer contrasting terms of texture. I think a little of that amazing slaw or maybe some finely diced onion is all it would take. The service here is superb. It was very friendly, welcoming, and lightning quick. There is some seating inside, though it is limited. The vibe is cute, with pink tones and murals.

Such a cute, yummy experience! Came here on a lunch hour with a friend who was wanting to try this place out. It was sooo worth it!! We tried the sweet potato taco and chicken taco. Both had wonderful flavors, with both types of tacos layerd with corn tortillas and bursts of flavor in each bite. We LOVED it!! The inside of the restaurant is colorful and welcoming. This restaurant is located on Taylor street, with some seating inside. Prices are reasonable as well. The staff were super kind and helpful. We plan to come back here on another lunch break.

Great tacos!! Tried the steak, beef, shrimp and fish and they all hit! Great toppings and great prices too. The elote was awesome, added some hot sauce and it was perfecttt! Service was great and the food came hot and fresh. The space itself is a little small but we still found a spot to sit and eat! Overall a fun vibe with great quality, affordable food!

TACO of the Week Tastes of Bri x Taylors Tacos

Reginice C.

We came to Taylor's Tacos, specifically, for the Taste of Bri collab mushroom taco of the week. It was soooo freakin' delicious! I had to order two more! The chimichurri sauce and pickled onion toppings were the cherries on top! I hope they do this collab again! I hope they also add some more vegan options, such as, more vegan/ plant-based tacos, the one they have is sweet potato and I just happen to not like sweet potatoes, but my guy got it and enjoyed it. Also, fingers crossed to them adding a vegan elote because my guy was praising the elote.

I came here for Taco Tuesday just to realize that this place is mainly for catering and only opens once a week! They've also hitting 2 years in May so early congrats to them! They have a Taco Tuesday special which is 3 tacos for $12! I ordered 5 tacos (1 steak, 2 chicken, 1 shrimp, and 1 fish) thinking they were big and I can't really eat a lot. The tacos were very tasty and flavorful. I do want to say that the tacos are a big small compared to regular size tacos you would get at other places. I would probably need like 4-5 tacos to be full from this place when I usually order 2-3. My boyfriend had 3 tacos and wasn't even full. I was greeted by a very cheerful young lady which made the ordering experience very positive. I don't remember if I saw a seating area cause it's quite small inside, but I think it's just easier to grab and go. I just parked outside and ran in to order some tacos to go. I think I liked the shrimp taco the most and then maybe fish. All tacos had a good kick out of spiciness to them if you're into spicy.

sexy crispy SHRIMP taco (left) and the Taco of the month: The Obama

Khadijah H.

This black female owned establishment holds her own with tacos. It's a super establishment but they don't need much space to wow you! I ordered the sexy crispy SHRIMP taco and the Taco of the month: The Obama. The Obama is a chicken and sweet potato blend. Both tacos were filling. They didn't skimp on the filling nor the toppings. For $4 and some change per taco, 2-3 will set you just right. The shrimp were a nicely proportion size, cooked well with seasoning. Not chewy and not dry. The Obama needed a bit of work. The shredded chicken, while tender, was a smidge dry which wasn't a good mixture with sweet potato. A nice slaw or crema would've did the taco just right and elevated the existing flavors. I'm eager to return and try more while supporting Black owned.

Place was featured on show Chicago Food to Go and I went to support their Black owned business. I was pleasantly pleased with the taco flavors! Street/paid parking. The street this place is on is busy. Next time I will park on same side of the street as the establishment. I ordered one Chicken and one Shrimp Taco. I added dash of sauce, but one doesn't need sauce to enjoy their Tacos! The owner was there behind the counter and took my order; she was very personable. Inside decor is bright and happy. Seating inside is small and quaint. Looks like they have outdoor seating. I'd love to return on a sunny summer Sunday.

So happy to finally get a taste of Taylor's tacos! After years of being mobile, she has a brick and mortar! Listen, the tacos were so amazing. I tried the shrimp tacos and also sweet potato tacos and both were full of flavor. I also got the guacamole and chips and elote. Both were so good and full of flavor The ambiance is warm and welcoming and this tiny spot is cute for a quick lunch meetup or early dinner. Can't wait to go back for more!

Micaela W.

Amazing tacos, service, and community! Taylor and Maya are incredible individuals and the food is made with so much love. The sweet potato tacos were packed with flavor, and crunch and everything you'd want in a taco. The inside is super cute (everything is pink!) and its BYOB!! Will be back :)

I have heard soooooo many good things about Taylor's Tacos!!! I have been wanting to try you guys out when you had the pop up at the Dock's on 35th! I did enjoy my food the most part. I did have to take off two stars. I feel like if you are going to add sugar to your homemade tortilla chips, it should be noted on the menu in your store and well as the regular menu. I personally didn't care for the addition of sugar. I would have liked to have the option of not having it. Next the guacamole and chips was $5. Which I felt was priced very reasonable until I saw it. I was only given 1-2oz of guacamole. I think that's ridiculous! I understand that avocados are expensive but just raise your price and give more guacamole. It was just a swallow in the container (a classic movie quote) IYKYK! The elotes were just okay! I think the corn needed to be drained more. It was alottttt of water at the bottom of my container. Also the corn was heavily limed but had no salt. The cojita cheese and mayo weren't salty enough balance it out. Now that I have gotten that out the way..... Great welcoming customer service! When I walked in I was welcomed with a bright smile that wasn't pretentious at all!!!! The place is very small but clean as a whistle! It's only like three tables. I ordered two steak, one chicken, and one shrimp taco, guacamole and chips, elotes and a Do Well's strawberry basil lemonade. The chicken and steam tacos are small but were stuffed. My steak taco had great flavor, that chicken taco was the most juiciest chicken taco I have ever had. The shrimp was good too. I only had two shrimp on my taco but flavor wise it was delicious! The strawberry basil lemonade was refreshing a bit heavy on the sugar but very good. I definitely will return because those tacos were expertly made and delicious!!!!!!!! Next time I will order the asparagus Taco too!!

Great spot for tacos! The service was fast and the food was yummy. This may become my go to spot for tacos in little Italy.

Yesenia S.

I see why there's so much hype around Taylor's Tacos! I stopped by and the food is delicious! I got a shrimp taco, sweet potato taco, their taco of the week. The shrimp taco wasn't overly fried it had good crunch. The sweet potato tacos I was so impressed how flavorful they were! I will definitely be coming back. I like the concept they have for taco of the week. A great way to change up the menu. They have several taco options something for everyone. There's some seating available for dine-in and metered street parking.

Toady is Taco Tuesday!! So I thought we'd head over to "Taylor Taco" since they've been voted best taco in Chicago. Now my wife is half Mexican so I've had sone damn good taco's in my life. Since they were on "GMA" yesterday we expected a crowd. Actually it was full but they were fast. The first experience is always the hostess. The young lady who took our order was so nice and inviting. We ordered one Chicken, Steak, Shrimp & Asparagus Taco (they were out of the Sweet potato Taco) Now I have to be honest, the best taco in the city is straight up CAP! These tacos are mediocre at best. I wasn't impressed with any of them. The shrimp taco was my favorite. The Asparagus taco was my wife's favorite. I do like that it's black owned and I wish them nothing but the best. But as for me I won't be returning. There are much better tacos in the city. Chicken Taco 4/10 Shrimp Taco 6.5/10 Steak Taco 4/10 Asparagus Taco 8/10 All in all I'll give Taylor Tacos a solid 6/10

I gave it two stars because they were prompt. I'm quite disappointed in the product itself and I thought favorably because of the GMA appearance. The Taco is really much smaller than any street taco that I've had and I ordered 2 chicken and 1 steak . To eat a chicken taco I don't expect the juice to be running down my hand and the steak taco was way too salty and not so good for the average person that doesn't use salt for health reasons. It was a surprise to find the shell exceptionally small and less steak for $4.00. (Not as generous as advertised. ) If you're asking for credit cards only and charging $1.50 service fee, don't expect a tip on the order for a pickup nor a jar that clearly states "Love tips!" read more

First & foremost, food is phenomenal! Second, the space is clean, beautiful & welcoming. The owners so happened to be inside when I visited & I had to compliment them on their establishment & how nice the experience was. I had a shrimp, sweet potatoes (omg ) & steak taco. So damn good & my coworker had a chicken taco & nachos (that she ate all of before I got some ). I'm ready to go back to taste the rest of the menu & I'll definitely be back this week. Great experience & I'm happy I was introduced to the place. read more

Taylor's Tacos took things to the next level by not only opening an extraordinary, gorgeous event space called TAYLORED, but also opening a restaurant where you can order Taylor's award-winning, delicious tacos all the time. I went to the restaurant for the grand opening and a couple other times, and the tacos are out of this world! Additionally, the atmosphere is modern, chic, includes outdoor space and is BYOB. The steak tacos are so juicy and flavorful. The shrimp tacos are crispy and also delicious. Even the guacamole and chips have an extra special seasoning that takes them to a whole new level of flavor! During the grand opening, we tried the fries topped with steak and melted cheese which was a special available that day. They were similar to nachos but instead of chips they chose fries instead. Let me tell you, I am a foodie so I have tried great dishes all over the world, and that was literally one of the absolute best dishes I have ever tasted in my life. read more

Well this was my first and last time coming here coming too this establishment on June ?? 2023. I ordered the chicken and beef taco 4 bucks apiece. I was not impressed with my order... my opinion is based purely on the quality of the product... And the bottle of the peach strawberry drink it was so sweet it could kill a diabetic....be sure and take your debt card cash is not welcomed. And they charge 1.50 service fee because you're forced too use your debt card... I don't like under-table fee.... Jarritos soda has got too be the most disgusting drink I ever tasted in my life. If you can't afford too be generous with your product consider not selling it to the general public . read more

Saw them on program Chicago Food To Go. I love tacos so I wanted to a) support a black business and b) try them because they looked good. They featured all the tacos they serve which (they have cute names I can't remember)but basically chicken, steak, shrimp, fish and pork. I went to the location at Docks on 35th and I was very disappointed. First of all they only had shrimp and fish. The shrimp was seasoned a little salty but tasted ok. I didn't care for the fish. Perhaps I need to go to their main location on Kedzie. If you're going to sell your food at other locations you might want to make sure you're being represented in a favorable light. read more

Taylor's catered a lunch for about 80 people for me. It was excellent. They accommodated a LOT of varied diets, but everything was terrific and tasty. The vegetarian taco options were some of the best! Sweet potato and asparagus - yum. Everything was packed nicely and they came in and did the setup, which was great. Communication was excellent, they called the day before to check in and showed up on time with everything ready to go. I can't say enough how important having good, interesting, and yummy food meant for the success of my event, and how much their professionalism made my life easier. Taylor's hit it out of the park. read more

We ordered an assortment of tacos and sides from Taylor's Tacos for our daughter's 2nd birthday party, and the only thing better than the food--which was amazing--was Taylor and her exceptional customer service. I wasn't sure how much or what to order, but she helped me out by giving great suggestions. My favorites were the pretty PORTABELLA, the BRAKALI, sweet, poppin' POTATO, and not your neighbor's PORK + PINEAPPLE. The pico fresco and guac were also really good. Given that we didn't have a 1st birthday party due to the pandemic, this gathering was important to us, and Taylor provided really delicious food for us to share with our guests.

I thought to myself, I haven't had suadero tacos in a long time so it was time to try Taqueria…read moreTayahua. It's a specific taco meat cut common mostly in CDMX and hard to find elsewhere, and I was happy to taste those flavors again, though sadly not at CDMX prices. They also have some truly Mexican items - nopal, huiltlacoche, flor de calabaza, huaraches, guisado, chile relleno, and so on. I'm talking about stuff you usually find in a mercado in Mexico. Great place to try real Mexico City flavors if you're feeling nostalgic or never tried before. Wasn't too busy either that night.

I'd been to Velvet Taco in Atlanta a few years ago, but for some reason it didn't really hit the…read morespot for me. So when I came across this location during my trip to Chicago, I decided to give it another chance. It's in a great location near the Magnificent Mile, making it an easy stop while exploring the area. I ordered the Fried Paneer taco and the Beer-Battered Cauliflower taco, and both were really good. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors worked really well together. I also had to save room for the red velvet cake because I'd skipped it on my last visit. The slice was absolutely massive, I later found out it was over 1,000 calories! There was no way I could finish it, so I took most of it to go. It was incredibly rich, moist, and delicious, and definitely worth trying if you have a sweet tooth (or someone to share it with!). This visit completely changed my opinion of Velvet Taco, and I'm glad I decided to give it another shot.

I had the Mexican street corn to start and then the lunch special with two tacos, rice, and beans. I got the carne asada and crispy fish taco. The carne asada is simple with just steak and onions, but so good! The sauce and the cabbage on the crispy fish taco is really good too. I usually don't love a corn tortilla, but these tacos were so flavorful that the corn tortilla was perfect.I also had the watermelon agua fresca, and it was refreshing and not too sweet. One of the staff members, Chris, was such a vibe. He greeted us friendly and professional as soon as we walked and came over later to check on us, and chatted with me and my aunt. Our waitress was amazing too, and several other staff members stopped by to check on us throughout our meal. Exceptional service like this can be hard to find so I really appreciated it. For me, it's a 5 out of 5 because the food and the service are equally great. I highly recommend! I forgot to take pictures but take my word for it lol.

I've tried different proteins for the tacos: STEAK, LENGUA (tongue), TRIPA (tripe), PASTOR (pork), and BISTECK. They are all delicious, tender, juicy, well-prepared and well-seasoned. The lime, cilantro, and onions on each taco are fresh and give so much flavors. The rice and beans that come with the entrees are so good as well. Service is always friendly and efficient. The place is neat, the bathroom is clean, and the prices are very reasonable. I will never get tired of coming here to eat. I heard that their margaritas are worth trying too. I'll try those after work hours ;)

I got the chicken tinga, steak, and samosa taco. The steak was good but nothing crazy, the chicken tinga was *so* flavorful, and the samosa taco (which was recommended to me) ended up being my favorite. Whatever sauce they put on it was amazing. The fries were surprisingly good too. really well seasoned with a slight kick. We also shared elotes and guac, and both were solid. Honestly, this spot is a strong 4.5/5 and definitely worth checking out. The servers were really nice. Someone had trouble ordering in their food and they helped us out.

¡Orale! This place is the real deal! You must bring cash though!!…read more It was recommended to me and to try their carne asada burrito. Good lord, it's a meal and there's plenty of meat to feel full by eating 1/2. So with that being said that should ease the cost of the burrito by being able to get 2 meals out of it. I think it was $12.50 or 15.50 or something close to that. Also I think it's best served by eating there because you get some chips and 2 salsas at the table. Parking is kinda tough and since they don't deliver, you must go there!! Remember - cash only!!
