(T): Suadero taco, camarón taco. (B): Asada taco, pescado taco.
Shirley P.

Updating my review: we ordered takeout from here tonight since my spouse is craving tacos. We did a 3 taco dinner (all chorizos), 1 extra chorizo taco, 2 shrimp tacos, 1 fish taco, and 1 flank steak taco. I've learned to accept that not every taqueria can nail the traditional steak taco, and moving forward, I'd just stick with the fish and shrimp tacos from here because they smack. Their chips and salsa is also really good, it made us wish we had more of their fresh chips since there was way more sauce than chips. We both devoured our food, and it's so conveniently located right by our condo. Our food was still piping hot when we got home.

The chips and salsa before your meal are really tasty!

I love this place. The food is excellent, be sure to try their Carne en su jugo, which is my favorite. The restaurant itself is charming, the staff friendly, and the speed of service is excellent for a kitchen of this size. (usually one cook) Definitely the best in its immediate area. if you're between Cicero and Kedzie, 89th to 103rd, it's a must.

First off I'm a chef store manager at a restaurant being doing this for over 25 years the girl in there very very rude on her phone the whole time I ordered the taco dinner the bread was do hard I van barely bite it the steak was so brunt couldn't eat so I only ate the fries which was the only fresh so I get up to pay for my food she tried to charge me for a taco I took a bite out of we argued about 10 mins until I said I was calling the police there so instead of her giving me my change in my hand like I gave it to she throws it on the counter wow I advise people check your food before you eat

No sign for additional service charge

I've visited the restaurant at least a dozen times, I've never paid attention to my receipt. Today I looked at the receipt and noticed $0.49 extra and I asked why, the cashier said there is an extra charge when you pay with your card. I explained there needs to be a sign if there is a fee to use you card and could I speak with the manager. She said he's not here but you can call him. I called Salvador & explained it to him, he said that's his restaurant & his policy and he can't refund me the service charge. I will be looking into calling an attorney & reporting it to the BBB. Yes it's only $0.49 but it's the principal that there wasn't any sign informing customers. How many people have paid this & didn't know.

This is a good spot for Mexican food in this area . I'm moving from pilsen to oak lawn and I was concerned if there was any good Mexican restaurants. Well, im glad I found this place and you will not be disappointed. I had the el Chavis breakfast (delish) and the horchata was delicious. Try it out.

The type of lettuce they use at el Chavis

Just ordered from them today I ordered carne en su jugo and some tostadas the lettuce on the tostadas was blacker than the beans on it and the half gallon of meat was all onion bulbs everything went straight to the garbage what a big waste of 45 bucks I will never eat here again the meat looked under cooked and the expiration on the lettuce is what really turned my stomach I won't eat here again and I would advice no one else to either

Stopped for a burrito to go. It took about 15 minutes to make it. It was delicious. Nobody else was in the place. I'll come back.

My dad got the barbocoa burrito and I got the Mar y Tierra-skirt steak and shrimp wrapped in bacon. It's funny bc I ordered well done steak and it looked burnt but it wasn't! It was really tasty as was the shrimp. A little too much salt and they forgot my tortillas. The guacamole and salsa were really really good as were the chips. They have a to go counter so it made picking up the order quick and easy. People seemed to be enjoying themselves while dining. Overall, would reccomend and would come again.

We arrived around 4 pm and there was about a 25 minute wait. It is cozy so there were people waiting outside. The decor is more modern than traditional. They have a bar and TVs. Staff are warm and friendly and our server was Dulce. It was a busy day yet she would periodically check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the table side guacamole. It was made fresh at our table and hubby added a little more salt to it. We were also served a small bowl of salsa.The chips are warm and fresh. Hubby ordered the combo fajitas and a strawberry margarita. I ordered the steak enchiladas rojas and a pina colada. Everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed our meals. Kudos to the bartender for making great drinks!

This isn't just plant-based food -- it's thoughtful, balanced, and crafted with real love. I had the fish tacos (yes, vegan -- and absolutely convincing), the corn ribs, mushroom sandwich, truffle fries, mushroom quesadilla, horchata, and Jamaica. Not one miss. Every single item was a hit. The flavors are layered without being heavy. Comforting without being greasy. Satisfying without the crash. You leave feeling full but light -- the kind of meal where your mouth, your stomach, and your health all say "thank you." If you go, honestly? Do yourself a favor: order a sandwich and a drink. Sit with it. Taste it. Let it speak for itself. This is the kind of place we need not just to survive, but to thrive. You can feel the family behind it. The mom. The owner. The care. The pride. The love is truly in the food. Oak Lawn is lucky to have them. Go hungry. Leave grateful.

We dove in so quick, forgot to take a picture before we violated it! Coffee.... We both had lattes that were crafted w care, so wonderful. Apps.... Corn in cup: Nice big bowl of crispy corn with plenty of ingredients to complement it. Just so good, ya don't want it to end. Corn "Ribs": Yeah more corn, just one look and you're hooked before ya try them. The crema and Coco Salsa are a perfect addition to this delicious and beautiful dish. "Calamari": What? Huh? Coconut meat? Okay, I'll try it. What in the world is going on in this place?!! My mind is blown, what just happened?!! Crispy on the outside, so tender in the middle.The cocktail sauce was great too. I swing both ways, I mean my son calls me vegan fluid, lol. This makes makes me rethink real Calamari, this may actually be better. I'm Italian, those words don't come easy. Dinner.... Yeah, we were so full already, but had to keep pushing Pozole: Smokey red chili broth, I could sip on all day! Jackfruit was so tender and chickpeas were done right. They nailed it again. "Fish" Tacos: Yeah, more coconut meat. Had to give it another go in a different version. Nice big crispy and tender pieces, cold creamy coleslaw on top w chipotle mayo. The taco itself was also delicious. Flavorful rice and guac nicely complement this dish. It's a must have. Dessert, lol, just had to squeeze more food in..... Wife had a Chocolate Concha. Usually concha's come up short for me, but not at this place. I took a bite :) They just don't miss. It was delicious. It was finally time to waddle out of there. In closing..... The owner is always amazing and there all the time, super friendly. Actually remembered us and what we ordered last time! Food is always consistent, the quality is top notch, portions are big, food is beautifully presented and you can tell they care about it. Just look at all the photos on yelp, the meals are always presented the same. You can see what your gonna get and actually get it! You need to realize you're at a real special place, you are NOT going to get this food anywhere else. So treat yourself, splurge a little, you're not gonna regret it. Thank you Abuelita Coco for NOT making miss meat or dairy when I go there. So much love for this place, just wish it was closer to the city. Maybe someday, one can only wish.

I understand avocados are pricey, but $12 for guacamole felt excessive. My $15 margarita was also a letdown--it wasn't shaken, and if you're someone who enjoys a good cocktail, you can absolutely taste the difference. For that price, I expected better. Our server was kind and approachable, but the overall energy and the ambiance of the whole place came off a little dull. It just didn't have the lively vibe I was hoping for. I'm glad I gave it a try, but I don't see myself coming back anytime soon. I really wanted to love it, but I can't justify more than 3 stars.

Cochinita Pibil served with plantains & cheese was excellent, which I ordered based on servers recommendation. Beautiful fajitas, great steak, and street tacos were delicious. I always appreciate when you can customize guacamole, as we prefer ours with no onions. There is a lot of local Mexican food competing with this restaurant, but we found their offerings to be unique and made with love. Bottom line, We will return. Room for improvement: * There is an intrusive flashing light that was visible from most angles inside the restaurant. We sat far away and it was reflecting dramatically off the window across the street. Beware, for the sensory overload sensitive. * In contrast to other reviews, we did not love the Margaritas. Very sweet, no freshness or lime flavor in the 'classic' just sweet and sour mix vibes. We continue our search for sublime Margaritas.
