My favorite Mexican food in the Chicago area. I wish their delivery was turned on more. If so, it would be a weekly buy for me but unfortunately it's rarely on so I don't get it as much as I'm not in the area a ton. Either way, 5 stars, delicious, and something I crave daily - the Asada Bowl! read more

I liked everything I got here: potato tacos, rice, and a mango margarita. Bonus for outdoor sidewalk seating on a beautiful day. I'll definitely be back. read more

Avoid Taco Mucho! They serve bad fish The only meal I ate Tuesday landed me in Rush Oak Park hospital for food poisoning The owner/manager Ron instantly went into making excuses and showing zero empathy for my suffering. Wish I could give zero stars as a health precaution Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere read more

Very bad service, and over pricing for the portion size. They forgot the other half of my order. So I just asked to get refunded and went to eat somewhere else. read more

I am going to make this very short for one Asada Taco for $6.50 & Chips & Guacamole for $12.00 total $20.35 Was it worth it opinion my friend had other churros and we came in at 3:25 pm and sat waiting until 4:20 pm no one had even come to tell us anything about his order making us feel like they forgot about us. I definitely will not be coming back read more

We live in the neighborhood and have frequented this place since it opened two years ago. It's fun to see it gain popularity and fine tune itself: The drinks are strong, tacos have rich flavor, and even when they are busy, you never wait too long. The staff are so friendly, you can tell they love what they do and enjoy being apart of the community The patio is great because many people are in and out, so you can almost always find a seat. The music is always playing Also, my 4 year old loves the churros :) read more

Use to love this place. But after today I will never be back again. This place has so much potential, and the owners seem genuinely nice. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. From the rude cashier to the lazy server with an attitude, it was not busy at but the front staffed acted like you were asking them for free food. It's a shame because the food is good, and the restaurant itself has a lot of charm. My advice to the owners: invest in better servers who can match the quality of what you're trying to offer. With the right team, this place could really thrive. read more

Food is clean, fresh, and so flavorful. The employees seem really proud of what they're serving and I love the atmosphere of the place. My boyfriend and I went to get some lunch and then went back for dinner because my carne asada quesadilla was that good. 10/10 would recommend. read more

The food is good, simple and fresh. They are quick to get food out and everyone is friendly. Whether sitting inside or outside it is a comfortable place to stop for a meal. read more

I cannot review the food from this establishment. I have been there twice. The first time was the Saturday night before Mother's Day and I went in 45 minutes before closing and they said they were closing early for Mother's Day. Went back tonight a half hour before closing and they said we're sorry the kitchen is closed already. I want to try their tacos and I want to like this place but the only thing that I know is that these folks like to go home. read more

We really enjoyed our time here. The prices are a little high for tacos but the food and drinks are on point. The steak taco was packed with delicious meat inside a homemade tortilla. The fish taco was grilled perfectly with good flavor. The guacamole and chips were good portions and fresh. I had the lime margarita and thought it was fresh. My sister had the cocktail special and loved it. read more

Service is horrible! The food is basic, nothing special, and the portions are small for the price. I wouldn't recommend it.

BEST TACO EVER! Roasted Poblano Con Queso - each bite was delicious ~ hard to be excited about tacos, but this will appeal to vegetarians and carnivores! Well Done Ron and Team! Definitely will get this taco again The asada is good too - tender steak! read more

Food is excellent. Hibiscus margarita is the bomb! Staff are all wonderful. It is counter service, not to worry, the staff will bring you your food. There are plenty of tables inside, and they have outside tables in summer. Nice location in Oak Park Harrison St. Arts District. read more

I don't often go this area of Oak Park. I typically go to area around Harlem and Lake for shopping and restaurants, but I'm glad I went a little off the beaten path, at least for me, to check out Taco Mucho. It's a a great Mexican restaurant with fast counter service. First, the ambience and interior is super cool. It's an open space with an about an industrial vibe. It's brightened up by the colorful and creative murals on the walls. Second, the food is excellent. One note of warning. Most of the dishes I ordered were spicy. If you don't like spice, this might not be best place for you. I ordered a lime margarita, mucho bowl, cheese quesadilla, carnitas nachos, tacos (chicken al pastor and blacked whitefish) and churros. My favorite and must order dish was the carnitas nachos. The chips were super crispy and they were big chucks of carnitas throughout. Each chip was loaded. Of the tacos I ordered, I enjoyed the blacked whitefish the most. The spices used to blacken the whitefish were delicious and sophisticated. Also, the churros came out hot, crunchy and yummy. Third, the staff is very nice and service is very fast. It seemed like only minutes after I ordered at the corner that my food came out. Fourth, parking is super easy. Despite being far from any parking lots, neighborhood parking was easy and free. In sum, this is a must visit Mexican Restaurant and worth my drive from Chicago. read more

We've walked here numerous times from our son's home and it has always been a solid choice. This last time I had a bowl with spicy shrimp and hubby had 3 tacos. It was our favorite meal so far! It was flavorful, fresh and a nice portion size. The margaritas were a little sweet, but that seemed unusual compared to our previous visits. There is plenty of seating inside and it seems to be a nice addition to the neighborhood. I'm sure we will continue to visit them while in Chicago. read more

Food is fresh and tasty. We loved everything we ordered. When you first walk in, you order at the front then you find a table. The servers will bring the food out to you. It is hip and modern inside. We came on a Friday late afternoon around 5pm - it wasn't too busy but once 6pm rolled around it got super busy and the wait time for food (including dessert) would've been 45 min wait after ordering! I had the spicy shrimp bowl which was new to me. I really enjoyed it, same with my youngest son. My boys and husband liked the shrimp and steak tacos they ordered. The quesadilla was just okay - it wasn't anyone's favorite. My husband really enjoyed the taste and crispness of the chips we ordered with guac. We really like this place and definitely would come back. It is on the pricey side. read more

Was getting a pedicure down the street so I decided to get takeout here for lunch. The asada nachos are listed under "snacks", but are definitely an entire meal and then some! I was only able to finish about half. They are so tasty! Usually beef is not very beefy in carne asada, but these are nice big chunks with a lot of flavor! They are seasoned perfectly so you can taste the beef and the spices. The chips are house made and made the nachos a little spicy, but you only notice if you find a chip that's not covered in toppings. Definitely will have to come back and eat here and try the drinks! The staff was very welcoming even if I was just there for takeout. read more

Starting to see tons of these hipster themed taco places, after a while, they all seem like copycats from one another and not original. The artwork is original but the theme is over done, every Mexican hipster taco place is rolling with day of the dead skulls and a graffiti style which makes it feel overused. Craft beers and mixed drinks definitely catered towards you're affluent hipster crowd. $5 to 6 tacos which is kinda expensive even in the inflation era, they were ok but nothing shitabout. I honestly can't see this restaurant making it on Cermak Ave in Cicero which has a larger population of Mexican Americans which is basically all that needs to be said if you catch my drift. Cause they ain't out of there goddamn minds to drop $15 on three tacos without a goddamn serving of rice and beans on the side. Also, another thing, goddamn sick of seeing tip pages when I'm taking my order to go. Pay your employees more hourly then rather being dependent on customers tipping them for takeout or to go orders. Honestly I could sense the disappointment of the employees for customers not dinning in. read more

Taco Mucho is my favorite taco location since moving to Oak Park. I've always had happy memories here because of the food, service and ambiance. Tonight was an absolute disgrace. The catchier this evening taking orders had the poorest communication skills and a complete lack of tact and helpfulness. He should not be in a client facing role. I brought a friend here for the first time and was actually embarrassed by his behavior. I know it's a great restaurant with excellent food but this experience is unacceptable read more

So yeah. The tacos are $5 each. The torta is the price of 2 and a half tacos. I'll be honest it hurt a little to see the bill. But these days it's like that everywhere. However.. this isnt your typical $3 taco joint. No.. I didnt even realize there were utensils on carts. I used my fingers to scrape up bits of meat and salsa into my mouth. Imagine trying to eat soup with your fingers. My hands got pretty messy but I didnt care. Did not want that stuff to go to waste. The green salsa.. obviously has cilantro. But theres something else.. and it's delicious. The red salsa you get with your tacos is not the same as the red salsa you get with your chips. I like this little detail. Polished off my steak torta and ate up all the chicken el pastor my daughter dropped on her plate. The pineapple is tasty but not overpowering. Bits of jalapeno though so some spice. I left stuffed. Didnt think about the bill at all while I was eating. You only need 1 kidney right? read more

I love the tacos, the atmosphere and the margaritas. However I will say I was very disappointed with the carne asada taco. It's the most expensive taco and yet the one with the least flavor. The meat isn't enough to make it delicious. The fish, spicy shrimp and vegetarian tacos were fabulous. But they need to add more to the carne aside taco to make it flavorful and a lot more to make it as delicious as the others. I hope they work on that. Either way, I'll be back just not for the steak tacos. read more

Stopped by on a whim and ordered 4 steak tacos. Waited 5 minutes and tacos were delivered to my table. They were delicious and very flavorful. I usually have sour cream & cheese on my tacos, but these were excellent without the additional toppings. The inside is nice & colorful with a bra graphic wall mural. Can't go wrong with this place . read more

First time visiting this new place in the Harrison district and we will be back *regularly*, I can tell already. We tried five different tacos, only skipped the veggie. Fish and carnitas were the standouts, very flavorful, excellent. Steak and chicken were very solid and we'll order them all the time. The pork was polarizing in our group, half liked it, half passed - I'd like more from the pickled onions, the flavor was a little fatty, so I'll hit them with more heat next time. Rice, beans, guacamole are all fresh and filling, but nothing special. The guacamole serving size is maybe for two people, we'll order two of them from now on. The chips are salty crunchy homemade, very good. Then blue corn tortillas for the fish taco were truly unusual and very tasty. The standard margarita was also very tasty and not going to derail your evening the way some margaritas in town will do. (Not complaining about strong margaritas elsewhere, but sometimes you'd like to just have a margarita without an evening lost. These are not "weak", they're delicious and just not stupid strong. I could see having a couple outside in nice weather and still function.). Definitely recommend the chili salt rim. The interior is super clean and welcoming and the tables on the street are a nice option. Their takeout material is largely compostable cardboard - THANK YOU - no styrofoam nonsense, no paper-in plastic bags. We'll have them hold the plastic forks next time, but it would be nice if they asked. read more

Big fan of Taco Mucho. Nice to have high-quality Mexican fare in the OP Arts District. Tacos are typical size with fresh, handmade tortillas. Tortas feature a heaping serving of protein and ingredients on hefty torta bread. The bowls are a nice option and feel healthy. They also have a nice kick. The nachos are sneaky good; fresh tortilla chips and so many ingredients. The drink options are excellent. Different margarita options and they are delicious. I also enjoy the beer selection, especially the Casa Humilde options on draft and in cans. I prefer to order online and give them time to work their magic in order to pickup and take home. If you walk in, give your order some time as they make items fresh, so you might wait a bit, especially if it is busy. It's worth the wait. The ambiance inside is really cool with good music and a sweet mural on the west wall. They have seating outside on Harrison Street as well, making for great meals and/or drinks with friends and family to be enjoyed on nice days. read more

Margaritas were fire! Tacos are catered to the area but decent. We tried the steak, fish, carnitas and chicken Al Pastor. The steak and fish were really good, my wife liked the carnitas, the steak could use more seasoning or if they had a spicy salsa to really compliment it. Accidentally tried the beans and they were good as well, the churros for dessert were VERY gooood. I will definitely go back for their Margaritas though. They are not strong nor weak, they are "Smooth" and great tasting. The fresh ingredients really stand out. Service was also amazing, very attentive and customer focused even though you order and pay at the counter. They might want to rethink that bc I don't want to have to keep going back to order more margaritas, hopefully they'll let you leave an open tab at least. The decor was very well done as well. read more

Super expensive, but my mom wants tacos. Daughter places order on my phone - pays with my mom's credit card. Confirmation.screen disappears. I get to the restaurant - they don't have any names. I don't know the number. My daughter (who I call) says she didn't enter a number. I tell the people the exact order that I'm looking for. They say they got it, but unless I give them a phone number, they won't give it to me. Even though I've literally listed every item in the order without looking at the ticket. This is the second weird and unnecessary hassle I've gone through with them. I walked out, will dispute the charges with my mom's CC company. read more

Really great people here! And they know their tequila. Order at the counter, then wait for your delicious fresh food in spacious seating areas, or sit at the small bar. Don't forget to check out the art. read more

Loved the ambiance and decor of this place. The lay out is a little odd as you kind of walk through the expo/kitchen area as you look for seating (unless you sit in the front entrance area). The back is just as delightfully decorated as everywhere else. Dope tunes playing. I really loved my roasted poblano, potato, cheese taco. I wanted more but we were making other spots after here. The man enjoyed his steak but wasn't a fan of the large bites of steak, he prefers his steak in smaller bites. Petty issue I know, I loved mine which is what mattered, lol. read more

The asada, chorizo, and fish tacos had some significant charred flavors. They did taste good overall but were a bit expensive given the size. The mango margarita was refreshing. It is nice that they have outdoor seating available. read more

I wanted to like this place and support OP businesses but odds are low I'm gonna return. Yesterday I ordered lunch to go, everything was fine until I got home. My wifes carne asada was burnt. As in black char on the outside. My fish taco was burnt and dry. The carnitas and shrimp tacos were ok. The quality of the food was there but the execution was just awful. For $5 a taco (which is on the high side) I expected a better result. My takeaway is that Taco Mucho is more about atmosphere than flavor. read more

I really want to like this place, but each time gets more annoying to me. Let's break it down: 1). $14 Margaritaville made with a mix...What!? Reminder...Margs have 3 ingredients. 2). Carnitas=Greasy...the opposite of what good carnitas should be. 3). Price...While I love a good "cheap" taco, which there are plenty to choose from in the area, I am also cool with a more modern "pricey" taco. But, I am afraid Taco Mucho is like so many OP restaurants...they are trying to be upscale & pricing accordingly, without the chops to back it up. Mediocre at best. If you are gonna charge $5 for a taco...you better be able to make it count. Too many good Mexican places in Chicagoland area to give this one another try. :( read more

Straight food review. First off the place was remodeled with perfection. The lighting, ambience the murals....all great! Now on to the food. I wanted to really like the food. It wasn't bad the guac was nice and fresh. I can def tell the place is putting pure heart and efforts into serving fresh food but in my eyes the food lacked a bit of flavor. Had various meats in tacos and tortas. Chicken pastor was pretty weak, if I were to guess it was roasted boneless chicken thighs. Tasted nothing like al pastor, please change name or make sure flavors are injected into this meat. The steak was guisado-ish? I lost the flavor of steak and wasn't disappointed as I was trying to enjoy more flavors. Expensive taco for no flavor and a handmade tortilla as thick of three tortillas. Not kidding. Well if any of three meats I enjoyed was the carnitas. Full of flavorful juicy pork. That taco was tasty and thoroughly enjoyed. Too many solid taco joints within 10 mins. read more

It's all about these hand made blue corn tortillas, I don't know any other place around putting so much care into their tortillas. Margaritas were delightful and paired nicely with the food. Great job! read more
