    Thlaco Taco Tijuanese #2 is a casual restaurant that specializes in Tijuana street tacos. It is a spacious dining room with plenty of seating. You place your order at the counter and also pick up your food. The food came out quickly. My husband had the asado tacos. The tortillas were handmade on site. The steak was grilled and tender. I had the Al Pastor burrito filled with rice , beans , avocado and salsa. It was so flavorful and huge. Good taco joint !

    We had a great experience at Thlaco Taco over the weekend. We've wanted to try them for a while and finally had the chance. This was for a late lunch - we arrived after 2 PM and there was one table in use when we arrived, so it was quiet. You go to the counter to order and to pick up your meal when it is ready. We both ordered three taco dinners. I had two Asadas and one Al Pastor, my partner had two Al Pastors and a Birria. We also shared a Pineapple-Mango Agua Fresca. Service was quick - and they make everything to order including fresh tortillas! First, the Agua Fresca was amazingly good. But the tacos - oh my they were outstanding. They were hot and very flavorful. The beans and rice were also tasty. The location is in a strip mall in Rolling Meadows. The restaurant is bright and airy with maybe 25 tables. The chairs are plastic and could be more comfortable, but they are still okay. Oh - I said in the beginning that there was only one table in use when we arrived. By the time we left not only were more tables full but there was a pretty good line at the order counter. We had a great time and excellent food - highly recommended.

    I stopped by for tacos with a friend last night, and it was a great time! The service was friendly and welcoming. It was pretty spacious inside. They gave us a sample of their al pastor straight off the vertical spit for us to try. They also let us sample a couple of their drinks, including aguas frescas. I opted for the taco dinner ($19.66, including tax), which includes three tacos of your choice, as well as beans and rice. I chose a mix of quesabirria, asada, and al pastor, because I wanted to try a little bit of everything. Everything is made fresh in-house, which is really cool. The tortillas were soft, and although the tacos were small, each taco was packed with delicious fillings. The rice had great flavor! I wish they had given it in a bigger container. Overall, it was a fun night catching up with my friend over tasty tacos. I grabbed a taco dinner to go for my partner.

    OUTSTANDING TACOS. I've traveled all around the world ate at Michelin guide restaurants all around America lived in LA for 3 years but these tacos are reallllly him. The service is outstanding, the gentleman really do their thing back there. I also got a tamarind drink with it. Yall need to stop playing and go check them out!!!! Ambience is clean and I LOVE that they have a salads fridge that you can get a nice cold red and green salsa. Also please support good food and write a review when it's actually good not just when yall got something to complain about. ANYWAYS 10/10... I WILL be coming back-- best believe.

    I live in the SW burbs and drove 30 miles for these tacos. 10000000% worth it to the point where I dined in to eat and also got tacos to take home. Thlaco tacos continues to be a top 3 taco spot for me. This location is larger than their Hanover park location, at max capacity it seats 49. Service throughout was quick. Staff members make you feel like you're part of their family. They radiate warm and kind positivity. My cousin and I ordered at the front counter and when our orders were ready the number on our receipt was called. Since I also ordered tacos to go, a staff member actually walked it over to me when it was ready vs having me grab it while I was dining in. My favorites from here are basically all of them... haha! My usual taco order is: Al pastor, carne asada, and a quesa Birria. Everything is flavorful, moist, and cooked perfectly. Whatever you order from here, you can't go wrong. Literally try everythannnng. Tip - they have discounted pricing on certain items pending the day, Tuesdays - Thursdays.

    Hubby found this place from TikTok. Glad we tried it, I got the TJ fries! AMAZING!!! Steak was good and had great flavor. My husband got asada and el pastor tacos and loved them. My mom was a little upset because she got a quesadilla and it didn't have a lot of cheese. A little on the expensive side, but they don't skimp you out on the meat so that's a plus!

    Hands down the best Tijuana-style tacos in town! This newly opened branch of Thlaco Tacos is a game-changer. The Al Pastor tacos served from a rotating trompa meat topped with a slice of pineapple are so delicious But that's not all - the Mulitas are a specialty, resembling a quesadilla but made with freshly homemade tortilla. And the quesabirria? Amazing, but could use a bit more cheese, please! The space is huge and cozy, with plenty of parking available. Plus, they serve beer and vodka seltzers, with cocktails hopefully on the horizon.

    Steak Tacos and Beans

    This place is so good. Their Tijuana Style tacos are great. I had two steak tacos and a Side of beans Keep in mind these are street tacos so they run a little on the smaller side. They come with a fresh made corn tortilla. It is counter service and they turn the food out pretty quick. Everything is fresh and delicious. My only hang up with the place is they won't give you a free cup of water. They are a fairly new restaurant and I'm hoping someone from management reads this and revises this policy

    A huge shout out to the bartender on Tuesday night. The place was packed at 9pm (and until the…read moretrivia ended not too long after), and this gentleman was the seemingly the only bartender, server, and waitstaff. No patrons appeared annoyed/ angry... so he was keeping up fairly well. I would say that at 9pm when we arrived, it was fairly loud inside with the trivia going on. That's not my jam, but if it happens to be of interest, folks seemed like they were all having a blast. As soon as the trivia ended, there was a max exit from the establishment. There are a bunch of on tap and canned selections of different beers and a few wines and sangria on tap, as well. We didn't get any food, but there was reportedly a couple of kitchen staff working. I did see a platter of tots being brought out that looked good. Overall a great place to dive into for a good beer. It's in the same parking lot as Binnys.

    It has been some time since we have visited Global Brew Schaumburg so we were way overdue…read more We visited early on St. Patty's Day and enjoyed a few samples before commiting to a pint. I love that there are always a few great ciders on tap or in cans too. Hubby tried the Chimay and also a Phase Three (P3) Amber. P3 always has some great IPAs or a Stout to try, but I really like the smoothies too. It is fun to sit at the bar and look at the many cans, bottles and drink options. Happy hour tater tots with beer cheese are a perfect shareable bite. We left before the night got too packed for Shenanigans and trivia. Always terrific and friendly service here. We love the pet friendly patio when it is warm outside, minus the cigarette buttes on the ground out back.
