Over 1400 reviews with a 4 star rating is crazy. They must be doing something right. Not exactly sure what is though. We came around lunch time on Sunday. The place was half full and the staff was very friendly. You order at the counter, they give you a number and deliver the food to your table. My wife ordered their Skirt Steak taco and their Sweet & Spicy chicken taco. The skirt steak came with roasted tomato salsa, arugula, queso, lime and cilantro. I'm sorry but what the hell is arugula doing on a taco? The chicken taco came with honey yogurt, cucumber, jalapeño, onion and mint. I get it. Im all for reinventing traditional dishes and perhaps making them healthier but this ain't it. The steak wasn't seasoned right, the any flavor the chicken had was hiding behind the mint and the cucumber. I ordered their Fried Chicken Burrito. This was a little better, but it also had arugula. The "tres queso" was like melted cheese. I thought it was going to come with a more traditional queso sauce. The habanero hot sauce was non existent. Anything habanero should always pack some heat. I'm obsessed with habanero. And trust me, I tried hard looking for it, it was not there. No heat. IIt also came potato chips on the side. Nobody is craving potato chips with their damn burrito man. Some tortilla chips would have probably been better. I'll admit, I wasn't a big fan of their menu prior to coming in. Still decided to stop in, but don't believe I'll ever return. And I get it, I'm probably not the palate they're trying to please. I am not the person they are catering to. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. But this just isn't it. read more

We come here or get take out at least weekly lol My favorite is the pork carnitas taco and hard shell beef taco, then the chicken burrito. Guac and chips as well duh. They deserve a Michelin star at this point every single time we come with friends, family, ourselves or order it always tastes the same (delicious obvi). We have never seen them waiver in quality. We love and will always support you Antique Taco read more

The tacos were good, but nothing special. There was only one vegetarian option - poblano and potato skin - which wasn't filling. The salsa tasted bitter. As someone from Texas, I do have high expectations for Mexican food; Antique was fine for a convenient bite if you're around, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

I am shocked people love this place so much. The chips lacked salt and the salsa was the consistency of sauce. I prefer a chunky salsa so maybe I'm biased, but it was fine I guess. The tacos though... I get it they are trying to be more creative with flavors but it wasn't for us. And the horchata is a crime against humanity. We admittedly just moved here from Austin so our expectations for Mexican food are high. They say the tortillas are freshly made so I guess that could be true? Overall not a place I would recommend. read more

The tacos, the creamed elotes even the never ending tortilla chips - everything was delicious. I got the poblano and potato taco. I was surprised when I got it because there were potato chips on it. The crunchiness mixed with the flavor of the poblano was amazing. The fish taco was quite tasty as well. My eating buddy had some kind of steak taco and said it was so good. Everyone who worked there was polite and helpful. This is a small (but big) factor but I appreciate how they have 2 bathrooms and they are just "bathrooms". No need to designate who they are for specifically. Maybe all establishments should follow suit. read more

Overall an okay experience and apparently this neighborhood isn't known for taco places. The steak in the steak taco was cooked well and the cilantro and onions were fresh. I really enjoyed the corn tortilla too as it was fresh and soft and had good amounts of salt. My blood orange margarita however did not have any sweetness and tasted watered down so I wish I had got the rosemary one instead which was bubbly and sweeter. The guacamole was too bitter but the chips were really good and I liked that you could get as many baskets as you wanted for free. read more

If you're unsure if you should where to get tacos look NO FURTHER!! LOVE antique taco!! The steak is always my fav but this time I tried the shrimp taco also that has fried kale & cauliflower on it. Yummmmmm!! Still my fav is always the steak taco 12/10! UGH I LOVE you antique taco!!! Even the chips are INCREDIBLE! Made in house with the perfect thickness, crunch & salt Don't forget the salsa! Omg I could drink it!! It's different from most traditional red salsas as it's a lil more creamy and wayyyy more flavorful than most! We spent $43 for 5 tacos and a bag of chips. Enjoyed our tacos el fresco on their cute lil patio outside. While I find the tacos to be a lillll on the expensive side, I can't be upset because they are super filling. The meat quality always seems to be good & they don't skimp on the protein portion! Also I love knowing I am supporting local. PLUS these tacos aren't super greasy and don't make me feel ill after !! Thank you Antique Taco for existing! From a taco connoisseur read more

Antique taco has a lot of interesting flavors that please the palate. The cucumber mint margarita was tasty and refreshing. I would not recommend if you're looking for traditional Mexican cuisine but rather a more pricey place with experimental flavors. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every bite. You order your food and then pick a place to sit. There's also a nice outdoor picnic table area. read more

We stopped at Antique taco during the Wicker Park street fest because they had a lot of outdoor seating! And even though it was crazy busy because of the fest, everything came out super fast. You order at the counter and then they'll bring your food out to you! They only had one vegetarian taco on the menu, the potato and poblano. I loved the crunch from the chips on this one! However when I was ordering, there was a sign for a mushroom taco, so I got that too! The mushroom was definitely my favorite. They were cooked in what tasted like a creamy garlic sauce that was really good. They're a little pricey for one taco, especially for the veggie ones, but overall it was a good spot for a quick dinner. read more

Look, the place has cute vibes and nice decor, but the food? Seriously mid. Chicken taco: had this weird curry flavor profile. Not terrible, just... confusing. Pick a lane. Steak taco: meh. No real depth of flavor. Feels like someone whispered "seasoning" over dry meat. Fish taco: nope. Bland, limp, and forgettable. Guac: how do you mess up guac? Somehow, they did. Watery and bland. If you're here for the Instagram aesthetic, fine. But if you're actually craving tacos that taste like anything, keep walking. There are so many better taco spots in Chicago. read more

We always enjoy visits to Antique Taco, it's consistently good and the counter service is always friendly and efficient. Stand outs for us are the awesome chicken taco, the fish taco and the exceptionally tasty margarita with rosemary. Recommended. read more

I'd say they are ALMOST brimming with flavor. I had a cod taco, and it's like it wanted to get to GREAT taste, but it just wasn't there. Close, but not close enough. Also, randomly, I don't usually rate water, but the water tasted kinda funny lol, so I laugh read more

This place has a nice vibe and is a fun spot to bring friends for a few drinks or a meal. It's one of those spots with a menu that is on the smaller side but everything they do is top notch. The margs here are awesome and innovative. Chips and guacamole are fresh and flavorful. Tacos are solid and innovative (chicken curry taco!) albeit a bit on the pricey side. The fried chicken burrito was out of this world and hit the sweet spot on my palate - huge savory flavor blast! This place is a wicker park staple and has probably been reviewed a thousand times, but they are still killing the taco game (better than big star ) read more

As a Los Angeles native I was really looking forward to trying tacos on the visit to Chicago after seeing a bunch of tv shows referencing the good Mexican food here. Antique taco was yummy. I tried the pork taco and the steak taco. I was very surprised that I preferred the pork, it's flavor profile was just amazing. I also tried the guacamole and agua fresca which were very good. I would come back and see what the other tacos have to offer. read more

Stopped in here on a whim and so glad we did. Great unique tacos and loved their house guac!

I have been here at least a half dozen times and am shocked its taken me so long to write a review! Antique Taco is by far my fave taco joint in the neighborhood. The absolute best crispy fish taco I've ever had!! I've tried a few of their others (shrimp, steak, pork) but always go back to the crispy fish taco. The tacos are a little pricey in the $4-7 range but they are fresh and full of flavor so worth the splurge in my opinion. If you are dining in they offer complimentary chips and salsa (with free refills) which is awesome! I recommend the guac as well, its delicious. For drinks I usually stick with their rosemary margarita but they have a few other offerings as well. My husband tried the chicken burrito and really enjoyed it as well. The portion was generous for the price and he had leftovers. Great happy hour specials Monday-Thursday as well! read more

Antique Taco is a walk up style taco joint located in Wicker Park. Because of its counter service style you're free to mix and match taco types to your hearts content. The menu has a variety of meat and non-meat bases, all of which were tasty. The space is brightly lit and features some locally crafted goods for purchase as well. This is the perfect place to drop in if you're looking for a quick bite that's a step above your standard fast food or fast casual joint. read more

I have enjoyed the tacos from the Antique Taco stand at the Revival Food Hall in the past. Yesterday afternoon my love and I finally checked out the original Antique Taco location in Wicker Park. I had almost forgotten how good their tacos were - the two tacos on corn tortillas I ate were scrumptious. The pork carnitas taco was an absolute flavor bomb, a bit zingy and savory and sweet with bacon, avocado, spinach, onion and cheese. I'd get this taco again in a heartbeat. I often do not get a steak taco at a taco joint since the meat can often be chewy or stringy. The skirt steak taco was very yummy with cilantro, arugula, onion, tomato and cheese. The thinly cut slices of steak were tender and tasty indeed. The tacos are not cheap, but when they are this delicious then Antique Taco is a worthy splurge. read more

Antique taco is a very cute place to visit. Their food is quite good and the place was clean. It was around 3 PM on a Sunday and they were almost full. They seem to do a good business. Like many Taco joints in the city, you order at the counter. Unlike others, they serve the food fresh to your table. They also bus when you're done. I took a few pictures of the restaurant. It was well appointed. The food: Guacamole and chips: the chips were good. So was the guacamole, except for being a little bland. It might have had a little more spicy. The salsa: very good salsa roja. Fried Chicken Burrito: mixed reviews from the two who ordered it. One loved it and the other, not so much. Shrimp tacos: ordered by someone else at our table who said she should have gotten something else. Carnitas taco: the tortilla was very soft and cold. The meat, however, was very good. Blood Orange Margarita: clearly made from a mix and served in a plastic cup. Not what I expected but it wasn't bad. So, mixed review for Antique tacos. They don't serve Traditional meals - everything had a twist. I suppose I'm more of a purist when it comes to Latin food. read more

The vibe was very chill and the decor was simple but nice. The servers and the cashier were attentive. We tried several tacos, margaritas and a creamed elote. The food and drink were ok nothing special. It's a cute and bougie but the taste was not there for us. read more

TWO WORDS: ELOTE DIP I pretty much come here for this exclusively but the tacos are also pretty good. Chicago is such a hub for authentic Mexican food that this wouldn't necessarily be my go-to recommendation for that experience but if you're looking for a more boutique taco spot then this is definitely that. read more

Found myself in Wicker Park on Sunday and we were wandering up and down Milwaukee looking for a place to grab a quick bite. I'm so happy we landed on Antique Taco! The set up is easy enough- order your tacos at the counter and grab a table. Since this was my first visit here, I went simple and got the steak taco (my go-to anywhere) and the crispy fish. The crispy fish actually ended up being my favorite! I loved how the smoked cabbage complimented the the fish (that was ACTUALLY crispy). The steak taco had a lot of good flavor too and I loved the queso that came on it. The tacos are decently sized, but at $5(ish) a taco, the price is definitely up there. The quality of ingredients definitely makes it worth it in my opinion though! My husband got the fried chicken burrito. He LOVED it and has brought up going back multiple times since sunday LOL. I kept stealing the chips the burrito was served with because they were so tasty. Since we were in and out pretty quick, we didn't get the chance to try some other menu items. Really looking forward to another visit and trying the chips/salsa and the horchata milkshake! read more

Cute & fun little spot in Chicago to stop by for lunch with your pals for a quick bite. Highly recommend sharing a pitcher and ordering the elote on the side. Chips are free refills (winnneeerrr!!!) loved the pickled onion additions but the garlic shrimp was the winner for me. not top-notch Mexican food by any means, but more of a stop for the ambiance than anything and convenience. prices were a bit steep especially lacking authenticity in the food, but was worth it for a splurge! read more

It's a bare bones place. You order pay and tip first. They bring your order to you. We had six tacos and their limited choice of margaritas. The drinks were on tap and full of ice. I would pass on these. Some of the tacos were good. Best was potato poblano, 2) shrimp taco meaty and tasty. 3) steak nothing special 4) chicken meh 5) carnitas was the worst way too sweet. They have home made corn tortillas but they only use one on the tacos which are small. When you try to eat your taco it just becomes finger food the tortilla just dissipates mixed in the taco. I think use two. They have sauces which were all pretty bland. They do keep it clean. It's an ok place. read more

My favorite tacos in Chicago. A little overpriced but totally worth it. You must order the elote and carnitas tacos read more

Cute place! Service was fast even though they were busy. It's pretty high-turnover, so don't be discouraged if it looks full. The mushroom and potato tacos were both amazing, but my friend got the fried chicken taco which, he said, delivered on neither good fried chicken nor taco fixings. He said it was bland. It must be the option for that friend of yours that thinks everything it too spicy and is afraid of trying new things. read more

Did not get to see the service or ambiance as the food was catered but this was the best catered food i've ever had. The potato taco was my favorite. The kale salad, creamy elote and orange dip were exquisite as well. I am obsessed and will definitely come in person. read more

My go-to is the Antique Taco Salad, add chicken. It's so filling and tastes great but still seems healthy. Always comes with a generous portion of strawberries! Just had the fried chicken burrito for the first time and it was so good. Had a nice little kick to it too. Tacos are all solid - I haven't found a favorite yet but do chicken and shrimp most often. Nice outdoor seating off the main street. Simple seating indoors. read more

I've wanted to try Antique taco for a while, but this visit was a happy accident. I was in the area and looking for a place to eat with my kids, and the place that they wanted to go didn't have any seating so we asked someone at a a local business and they said hey try Antique across the street so we did. My oldest and I also ordered the fried chicken burrito on the store owners recommendation and I'm so glad we did. We did over order because so many things sounded and were so good. The chili cheese curds sounded good, but actually surpassed the expectations. The chili was amazing and the cheese curds were crispy on the outside and melty inside, just couldn't stop eating them. My youngest got the fish taco which an enormous piece of perfectly fried cod that she loved. But back to the burrito, the blend of flavors in this burrito were just perfect. The crispy chicken is perfect and the habanero salsa gives it just the right kick and the black beans and cream round it perfectly. Oh and the chips that come with it are phenomenal, freshly fried and sprinkled with spices that just makes them irresistible. It was a little pricey, but you definitely tasted the quality. I will definitely go back but maybe not order as much. read more

Antique Taco - Chili Cheese curds sooo good! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The tacos were good but overall a bit pricey for me. I'd be happy to eat Antique Taco again though. We did delivery during covid. Everything was neatly transported and I'm glad they threw in some salsa as well. We started with a tortilla soup which was just ok. I wouldn't get it again. It was a bit bland and was crying out for some chicken or something more. I was glad to have the cheese and tortilla chips sent separately. We also started with some elote which wasn't quite elote. It was tasty but it was technically like creamed corn with elote seasoning. Definitely not quite what was expected. I did like the roasted salsa quite a bit though. Oddly it was like a hint of creme was added to this as well. Not a wide variety of tacos, the classic options, all done right. The pork was the best, most heavily seasoned. I would definitely go for this again. The chicken was a bit average but spicier than expected which was nice. read more

Antique Taco did a wonderful job catering my wife and my 35-person wedding. It was very easy to place the order and correspond with Phil about changes to the order. They have two locations, Bridgeport and Wicker Park, and can deliver over a fairly wide area. We ended up ordering 5 types of tacos (Chicken, Steak, Market Mushroom, Potato & Poblano, and Pork), plus Chilaquiles, and chips and Guacamole, which were all delicious. It was also great that they have vegetarian taco options (e.g., Potato & Poblano) and vegan taco options (e.g., Market Mushroom). The guests loved the food, and the delivery and setup were very smooth, easy, and clean. We'd highly recommend Antique Taco's catering services for anyone looking to arrange similarly-sized events in the greater Chicagoland area. Photo credit: chelseabrownphotography read more

Love me some antique taco. A good delivery option when you want something delicious and reliable. The potato and poblano taco is always a good choice and I often regret not getting two. Their guac is surprisingly well seasoned. The location itself is super cute, but tbh I almost always get it delivered. read more
