    Gyros
    Stephanie M.

    I can't get over how fantastic my meal was when I visited for the first time two weeks ago. The gyros with three sauces were absolutely incredible! I'm already planning to make this a weekly indulgence because the food is just that delicious. The staff is top-notch as well. In fact, I'm about to place another delivery order as soon as I finish writing this glowing review.

    My fiancé and I both love this place! We are obsessed with their avocado crema salsa (the hot one)! We literally buy it by the pint! My personal favorite dish from here are their sopes de pollo asado (grilled chicken sopes). These two grilled chicken sopes only cost me 8 bucks and I was more than full, I mean look at the portion size!?! . We highly recommend them, especially if you like spicy food like we do!

    My experience at Speedy Taco was very much a mixed one. I was excited to find and try another "hole in the wall" taco place along my route to Waukegan (for work, I have to travel to Waukegan for up to two times per week). I also try to find locally owned places to eat rather than settle for fast food or national chains. There some positives and some negatives. I will discuss the negatives first. The interior itself was dark and drab. I went there on a sunny day, the inside of the restaurant seemed to be full of shadows. Next, some of food was tasteless and mushy. I ordered a taco platter with two tacos. The platter came with refried beans, Mexican rice, an al pastor taco and a fish taco. The refried beans were cold, mushy and tasteless. The same can be said about the Mexican rice. I bought the platter rather than just tacos so I could have sides. Given both of the sides were so bad, I kind of feel cheated spending for the platter. Now, I will discuss the positives. The tacos themselves were pretty good. I liked that you had a choice to make your tacos "American" that included lettuce, tomato and cheese or tradition with just onions and cilantro. I happen to chose the traditional style because I felt like a street taco, but having options is alway good. The fist taco wasn't perfect, but given the context and the short comings of the other food it was cook well and fried nicely. The al pastor was wasn't the best I have ever had, but the meat was decently tender and had a good taste. Also, the staff was friendly and the service was good. Overall, it was mixed bag. It's worth a stop if get tired of the fast food restaurants that dominate the immigrate area.

    Top notch service, super friendly staff and all the tables are in great condition and clean. Traditional dining area with plenty of space. Tacos are AWESOME!

    Food: 1 Decor: 1 Service: 2 Surprised everyone gave this place 5 stars. I came here for dinner based on the Yelp reviews. 1. fajitas de pollo, 9 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vy0sbU1d35a80jbiVjUkEg?userid=2fN8mN7uUjOw-QqtcgYqXQ#UDlR8FDFK_kluzBZV5m-pw Bad. Everything was bland, and the chicken was too salty and overcooked. Rice and beans were dreadful. They said it came with a drink, but I only wanted the fajitas. 2. tacos al pastor, 1 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vy0sbU1d35a80jbiVjUkEg?userid=2fN8mN7uUjOw-QqtcgYqXQ#Z7v1JyWSPMe2jzijv8fqYQ Bad. They gave me 3 tacos when I only asked for 1. Bit into a pork bone on my first bite, and the tacos were tasteless.
