Cinco de Mayo block party
Tracy K.

First of all, the food is excellent. One taco with the fried queso is enough for a filling dinner for me. Every time we have out-of-town guests, we take them here, and our guests always rave about the food until they come back. Frank and Kate care so much that their taco shop is a welcoming place, and it is. They hire young staff and train them on how to communicate with the public, and they give so much to this community. From a small gift card to hosting the annual Cinco de Mayo block party. We're so lucky to have them and this business in Rockford.

Special on menu 9/5/24

This place is so good!!! Feels authentic. Very nice staff. Highly recommend everyone come check it out. My favorite taco was the Pork Belly Taco special. The pork had so much juicy flavor and was incredibly delicious. I also ordered the cauliflower pastor and pork Barbacoa which were okay. There is a nice little spot to sit outside which I took a pic of.

The pollo taco and some topo chico!

I've been keeping and eye on this place for a month and I'm so excited that we got to be there for the soft opening. I love tacos and this is exactly what the food scene in Rockford needed! L.A. style tacos with house made corn tortillas! We tried their "soft opening" special - one each of the carne asada, chicken, and pulled pork. My favorite was the pork, my wife's favorite was the steak, and my son's favorite was the chicken. The tortillas was perfect, freshly made, easily foldable with no tearing or falling out the bottom, with a tiny bit of crispness from the grill, true expertise there from the chef! The toppings were fantastic and the perfect amount and flavor pairings with the accompanying meats, so well done. I can't wait to visit again when they have their full menu. Thank you F&K for blessing Rockford with your presence - you all are F'ing amazing!

Machaca beef and a pork barbacoa tacos
Kathryn L.

We had been hearing and reading about F 'n K Tacos for some time and were very happy to find ourselves in Rockford and hungry over the weekend. Located in a small space on Courtland St., it was easy to find, and we were happy that they had several outdoor tables in the back because the counter space in the front was occupied. The person taking our order was super friendly and helpful, sharing some of her favorites with us as we perused the menus on the whiteboards on the wall. My husband and I each chose a machaca beef taco, and he then also went with an al pastor and I chose a pork barbacoa. They were all fantastic! The homemade tortillas were lightly grilled on one side, moist, and flavorful, the proteins were very lean and not overcooked, and the seasoning on each one was spot on - the lime squeeze brought it all together. We added an order of homemade chips and salsa. The chips were excellent, and we would likely request a slightly less mild salsa next time. So here it is in a nutshell, the tacos were superb and the staff was welcoming, so we'll clearly be back any time we're in Rockford. But there's one more thing. After viewing their video on the website after our visit, I learned about the owners and their journey that led them to Rockford, as well as the impetus behind their passion to serve the quality products they do: https://www.fnktacos.com/ Looking forward to our next visit and already planning to bring family when they're in town. I hope F 'n K Tacos finds continued and great success.

Indoor patio seating

Wow! AMAZING food and I personally got to meet the owner. What an incredible story from childhood to the creation of F'n K Tacos. If you're in town, stop in! You won't regret it!

I would really recommend this place to all. My husband and father loved the food but for me it was a little dull as I like spicy food, hence the 3 stars but if you like non spicy food this is your place. Service was awesome and I liked how the staff asked us what kind of vegetarian category we are so he understood what we would like. There is not much seating area just some high stools, so please plan accordingly.

Great walk-in place for delicious street tacos. Indoor seating is very limited but it's nice to grab a seat outside to eat by the dam.

Has potential but, at this point way too expensive for very little size taco with very little filling. The loaded chips were mostly chips

Everything was clean and it was minimally decorated in Mexican decor (I actually like it being minimal in decor). They had one tv to watch (if that's your thing). HOSTESS & SERVER: The hostess was also our server and very nice. She answered any quester had and was attentive. FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Beef Chimichanga (lunch portion) -- Taste, was good in general, beef lacked seasoning/flavor. Size, average to most other places. Price $8.99 and it comes with rice, beans, and "salad" (see picture). Chicken Fajitas -- Taste, very good, chicken had nice flavor/seasoning. Size, decent amount of meat/veggies, severed with your choice of corn or flour tortillas (I chose traditional corn). Price $15.99 and it comes with rice, beans, and "salad". Beef enchiladas (lunch portion) -- Taste, was good. Price $8.99 and it comes with rice and beans. You also get free chips and salsa (always a positive at Mexican restaurants)!! OVERALL THOUGHTS: Delicious Mexican food. Flavor lacked a little bit in the rice (not really seasoned) and beef (husband said it wasn't very seasoned. Overall food and price was good, we left full. WOULD I RETURN? Yes but with caution! About an hour after eating here my husband ended up with a massive headache and I had some not so pleasant bathroom issues for the next two hours!

Walked in order bean burritos no veggies and regular tostadas with young cashier. She read order…read moreback exactly what I ordered. Got a printed receipt and meat charges were added to order. Went to her about it and she adjusted it but not sure it will show up used debit and charge already from my account. Got home and burritos had veggies that I did not want and cold. VERY DISAPPOINTED, COST OF MY MEESED UP ORDER WAS $58. Sure adjustment will become a ddispute at my bank. Will not be back. Did get couple other items that were correct.

This spot is even better than their former location because there is a nice dine in space, a spacious parking lot and the service is always so kind and welcoming. My partner and I have started coming here every week (at least) for their enchiladas, torta and burrito! The homemade salsas are absolutely DELICIOUS and the portion sizes are wonderful. We keep coming back and for good reason. The price to portion ratio is great, supporting our neighborhood and eating delicious food. What more can you want?! I mean, a margarita but that's okay. I'll order a Mexican Coke instead. Highly recommed the mole enchiladas and ask for extra mole!

I am so excited to go back. Staff were so incredibly kind even while being busy on cinco de mayo. The stress of the rush did not show at all! The rice and beans were sooo flavorful. I usually don't eat any of the Mexican rice because a lot of restaurants make it dry and not flavorful but I can say my husband was upset I did not let him have mine this time. All of the taco meats were so juicy and flavorful. Truly you cannot go wrong. I didn't try the burrito but my husband loved it. We decided this is our new favorite GR restaurant. Take away: EAT HERE.
