    Bowl of the best Menudo!

    What a gem of a place! Clean, friendly, and the food is amazing delicious! Carne Asada steak tacos with rice and beans absolutely the best for less than $10.0 Thanks for the wonderful experience. Keep up the great flavors Viva La Race! Ron G

    Drunk finna get tacos. Let's see whats to it. Will update. Update: they decent. Doing the job but will I make a whole move to come back for these? Nah. The people was nice tho! Update part two: the chicken taco I had when I got home tho? Fye. The chicken alone is worth the trip. Sometimes some places have good steak and not so great chicken, vice versa. This is one of em. Whatever you do, get chicken not steak.

    Taco Asada & Al Pastor Taco

    While driving down W Cermak Rd towards Western Ave I spotted Raymond's Tacos off to my right hand side. I am one that loves to bookmark any restaurant I come across when I get the chance, so I pulled in the nearest parking lot to bookmark it as well as take a look at their menu. Craving taco asada at the time, I have to say that it was a picture of the al pastor taco shared by Yelper - Diana J that really built that interest to visit the day of my discovery. If not for the plain, yet eye-catching orange banner with Raymond's Tacos listed on it, I would have driven right passed this restaurant. Options for parking are street parking w/ meter or within the neighborhood. With neighborhood parking I recommend being cautious of where you park because some portions of the street require a permit to park. Parking outside of the restaurant there is metered parking available for like one vehicle depending on its size. The rest of the space is part of the bus stop (Cermak & Washtenaw), a tow zone for vehicles other than a bus. I almost went for a spot within the neighborhood because parking along W Cermak Rd within a short radius of the restaurant is frustrating. But I remembered a time I got a ticket for parking on a street requiring a permit which gave me the courage to go for a spot along W Cermak Rd. Though Pan American Bank, the bank next door has a spacious yet empty parking lot, I would not recommend parking in it because there just may be someone waiting to make that call for your vehicle to be towed. For covid 19 precautions, wearing a mask is required to enter. Dine-in is prohibited, but there is the option for ordering takeout like the majority of the restaurants throughout the city. With dine-in being prohibited, there were no seats or tables in their dining area. And furthermore, there is a plastic shield that prevents employee to customer contact. As for my order I ordered a taco asada and a al pastor taco w/ a squirt which I already had in mind before I stepped foot in the door. My order was completed within a reasonable timeframe. Thank goodness because I kept checking on my vehicle because I parked alongside the bank on W Cermak Rd. Nowhere near a meter, I kept thinking that I would get a ticket or maybe a boot on my tire because I did not purchase a parking ticket for my brief visit. Those damn tacos smelled so good! I just wanted to pull over or in a parking lot and just devour them both, but for the goodness of Yelp, I just had to get a quality picture of my order to share. Comparing the two tacos, I have to say that I loved the taco asada which had a more flavorsome taste to it in comparison to the al pastor taco, but both did not disappoint. All in all, a pleasant ordering experience with Raymond's Tacos. I most definitely would not hesitate on visiting again while in the Little Village area. I have also noted another location near my neighborhood that sits a little over a mile away. ~Blessing~ Thomas G

    My one and only affordable ribeye taco joint. Meats are evenly seasoned and cooked in perfect temp. Good meat portions. The Original location - Raymond's No. 1. CHEESE ADD-IN -- in tacos, it is placed in between the tortillas. My first. Impressed. Cheese choices are: white (the chihuahua) or yellow (American). HORCHATA -- decent with a good price. VENUE -- superbly clean. SERVICE -- counter service. The Guapos are busy, informative, good at what they do, in a chilax vibe.

    I have tried a lot of burgers but nothing has topped Au Cheval. I can never quite finish one but…read moreevery single bite is packed with flavor. It seriously hits every taste bud. Adding the pork belly and egg takes it to another level. The space is cozy and intimate but be prepared to wait. It can be anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Your best bet is to put your name in and wait for the text alert. Thankfully Small Cheval spots are around when I need a quicker fix. As for parking it is a bit tight with valet street parking and nearby lots as your options.

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

My friend and I each ordered a burger and fries for ourselves. The NADC burger ($16) was decent, but it didn't blow my mind like people have raved about. I know it's not the original location which can play a part as well. What I really enjoyed and even finished my friend's were the fries. I love some good fries and these were top quality. You could taste the difference of the oil these fries were made in. They were nice and crispy and very good! I could keep eating them and would rather get the fries than the burger next time.

Even better eating it in person! I learned this is a pressed patty and not a smash burger. This is my favorite burger in the city! Such a cool vibe in here, very fun music and decor. I'm obsessed!
