The food was good and the service was quick. The Mac n Cheese is awesome. Will definitely get the lunch special next time.

Brisket Platter with Coleslaw,  Pickles & Pickled Red Onion
Tony K.

Excellent Taste, but very HIGH priced. The Brisket was extremely flavorful, good bark, juicy & lean. The South & North Carolina sauces both had a great tang, one was vinegar based while the other was mustard & I liked them both. The Brisket platter comes with Coleslaw, pickled red onion & pickles as you can see from the picture, all 3 sides are on the extra small size. The platter itself was $19.99 & that's not a lot of money, but it only came with for 2 slices of Brisket that were cut in quarters. I was expecting at least double the portion of Brisket for the cost. I'll take a pass next time, this could have been a 4-5 star review, but the small portion size knocked it down to only a 3 star review.

Ahh! This used to be Pizza Studio, remember that? This is about average size. I had their Elote. The staff and service is fantastic.

Brisket plate with included Coleslaw and separate Mac&Cheese.  Sauces pictured were Carolina top and Chicago bottom.

While staying downtown Yelp showed me that Blackwood BBQ had a main location 1.1 miles away or this location in an upscale food court located in Northwestern University Hospital. I opted for the shorter walk and was very pleased. This hospital has an amazing food court with bakeries, artisan coffee, Frozen Custard, Burrito Beach, Beatrix and more. I had a Brisket platter (7 ounces meat plus side of coleslaw) for $16.99. I also ordered separate sides of Mac & Cheese and Elote corn both of which were exceptional. There is a choice of six sauces and I had mustard based Carolina and Chicago style, I think the sweeter Memphis might have been a better choice. Service was friendly and efficient. At lunch there is a $12.99 special with pulled pork sandwich, side and drink.

I was craving a shrimp burrito so I decided to come here. I have walked past this place many times…read morebut never tried it. I stopped by with my pup to order shrimp burrito to go. Evelyn greeted us right away and placed my order. I asked for spicy salsa so she recommended the gobernador salsa which was a green spicy salsa made with poblanos. Evelyn was so sweet! She gave my puppy a treat and also brought out a bowl of water for him while we waited for the food. The inside of the restaurant was really cute and colorful and they had a separate bar area for drinks. I decided to order a spicy michelada with Pacifico beer while waiting. The bartender was super nice and made my drink quickly. It was the perfect amount of spice and was so refreshing! My burrito came out quick for how packed the inside of the restaurant was. The burrito was a good size and was so fresh and tasty! The gobernador salsa was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try something different and this time dine in.

My aunt introduced me to Tacombi yesterday, and I am so glad she did! The restaurant is really cute…read moreinside, and the food was so good. 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.

Burrito ala deabla, con shrimp. Highly recommend. In general the tacos are delicious…read more Environment is great and working personal are super nice. Been a customer for over years now. Bar inside which is a plus. Bathrooms are always clean. Five star all around and a must check out!! Dine in or sit outside

My first time here, and it was such a great experience. Delicious food and a really fun vibe!…read more We walked in around 12:30pm Saturday, and even though the place was pretty packed, we were seated right away! I ordered the Paloma, and my husband got the Michelada, both super refreshing and made well. For food, I ordered the El Gringo with rice and salad. I definitely wish I had swapped the salad for beans, because my husband got both rice and beans, and I ended up finishing my rice and helping with his too lol. Highly recommend this dish, just go for the beans instead of the salad! My husband also ordered three tacos: Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Carne Asada, all of which were really good. One of the fun touches is that they have QR codes at the table to leave a Google review, and if you do, you get to spin a prize wheel. Of course I had to try it, and it made the whole experience even more fun. I ended up winning a free double shot! The staff were all super friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the music gave it a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!
