I wish I didn't wait so long to try their food. I had been snoozing on it for some years despite good reviews from friends. There's a grocery store next door that I visit from time to time. Checked them out the other Sunday after church. Ordered chilaquiles with over easy eggs and a taco plate with different proteins. Rice and beans were extra and you should note their beans are whole black, not refried. Hence, their being certified Halal. The food is fresh, plentiful and bursting with flavor. Wish, wish I could have gotten the chilaquiles home sooner or just stopped somewhere to enjoy them hot. Green salsa had good flavor and the meal was seasoned well. Had asked for over easy eggs but turned out they made them hard. Bummer. I truly enjoy yolks mixed in. The tacos were good, two birria and one shrimp. During this cold season it's always grand to sip a birria consome. The shrimps contained within the taco were medium sized. I figure a two taco plate with rice and beans would be plenty of food. I'd definitely check them out again. read more

I really wanted to like Taco Verde, but it was a letdown from start to finish. The food was bland and oddly greasy at the same time, with tacos that tasted more like reheated leftovers than anything fresh or authentic. The tortillas were soggy, the fillings were skimpy, and the salsa had zero kick or flavor. Service didn't help the situation--slow, disorganized, and uninterested. Even though the place wasn't busy, it took forever to get our order, and it still came out wrong. For the price, the portions and quality just don't make sense. There are plenty of better taco spots that actually care about flavor and customers. Taco Verde feels like it's coasting on the name alone. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

After seeing Taco Verde on TikTok, I finally decided to order takeout--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The ordering process was quick and easy, and the food was delicious. If you're looking for a unique taste of birria, this is the spot. Their birria pizza is hands down one of the best I've ever had--crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The rich, savory consommé perfectly complemented the tender meat and took the whole experience to another level. We also tried the loaded fries, which were generously topped and had a great balance of textures and flavors. Everything tasted fresh and indulgent without being overwhelming. I would 100% come back. Just a heads up: the restaurant is on the smaller side with limited seating if youre eating in. read more

Terrible ... ordered steak burrito waited 20 minutes the told me would be another 20 min .... Ordered chicken instead didn't have time to wait on my lunch break .. waited another 10-15 minutes to get the burrito ... was stuffed with 90 percent rice ... beans out of a can ... not even refried ... chicken was 1/2 inch each pieces that was burnt and maybe 5 pieces inside ... no flavor , not grilled chicken ... I basically paid 18$ for rice and sour cream on a tortilla ... waited 25 minutes for this what a waste ... no chips nothing as I'm sitting waiting .. won't be back . Not authentic at all read more

Great birria, steak, and chicken tinga! The birria pizza is awesome too. The service is quick and friendly. Everything comes out efficiently. Fairly priced, fresh tasting, and with a creative menu, taco verde is definitely my favorite spot in the North Burbs for Mexican. The restaurant isn't huge but what it lacks in size it makes up for in flavor!!! read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but this place is not THE PLACE. I got a veggie a taco and they said it'll come with rice and beans which was not the case pace. I asked for it and got it -- fine. But then, I took a bite and the guac is brown....... Don't go here if you want fresh food. read more

I've been ordering take out for a quite a while now and their service and food have always been top notch. Their steak burritos are fire.

This was my first time trying Taco Verde after seeing a reel on Instagram promoting the restaurant. Although the space is small, it is well lit. We decided to take our food to go, though, due to the limited seating as we had a toddler with us. We waiting a while for our food, though no one else was in the restaurant. My friends and I enjoyed sharing the Birria Pizza and churros. The horchata is a must get drink! read more

You can tell from the flavors of the food that it is made with love and care. I really enjoyed their queso birria tacos, which were packed with flavor. The birria consomé also tasted like it was made with a lot of love and was super delicious. Their rice and beans were fresh and tasty as well. I also enjoyed their salsas, which packed a lot of great flavor and heat. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I had my first taco here today and I cannot wait to sample the rest of their menu. Next time you're at Glenview and Greenwood roads, go visit the little taco shop at the South end of the strip mall; you'll be glad you did. read more

They have a fantastic lunch special for 11.99 you get two tacos rice and beans and a cold drink of your choice from their fridge. It's like the perfect amount of food and it's delicious! Got the steak tacos (they serve with cilantro and onions) and the meat was not fatty, flavorful and tender. I recommend! They are very friendly too. read more

Best Mexican place I've been in a long time! The prices are higher but they are so worth it!

Once again, this place ROCKS and is not busy. We had steak tacos, birria tacos, chicken quesadillas, bean and rice. All fantastic!

Decided to give them a try despite hearing bad things. The place has 3 parking spots and is in this very narrow strip mall. All the other businesses put up "reserved parking will tow" signs. And there is no where else to park. Saved my money and I guess saved my stomach from diarrhea. Avoid read more

One and DONE! We were expecting so much more from this place. It's local and they press on the "street taco"'experience. Their food was mediocre at best. Burrito fell apart after a bite, 5 tacos wrapped up together. Little taste. Guacamole was oaky, but again mediocre. Sad we won't be back. There are other places in the area at the same price point that are much better. Service was good. I think they tried to be inviting and make the customer come back. read more

Appropriate that I write this review on National Burrito Day. On my first visit to Taco Verde, I ordered the Birria (beef not goat, and halal like everything else!). But while I was waiting I chatted with the super cool Nabil who was one of the partners there. While we talked I lamented that the one food I was disappointed that Chicago doesn't have a great option for was a Mission-style Californian burrito. Most are (not surprisingly) more of a Mexican style, heavy on lettuce but no rice and beans or the beans are refried. To which Nabil replied "I wish you told me sooner, because that's the style of our burritos!" Now, I certainly didn't regret that birria taco I got, because it was outstanding! But next time I was there, I was certain to get a burrito. And I was NOT dissappointed! Finally at long last, after 20 years here I have the sort of burrito I've dreamed of having here!!! And if you are a steak fan who doesn't hate corn, I think that their Stelote burrito is a damn perfect burrito. I don't live too close, but this is a burrito I go out of my way for. And when they showed up as available for delivery to me in Evanston on Grubhub I was thrilled. And typing this review was a great time for me to pass the time while I wait for my birria burrito to arrive. Nabil and Karim have done such a fantastic job with this menu!!! read more

Best birria by far.! Rice is nice and flavorful, elotes were awesome too.! Small place but cozy, and our server was such a gentleman, all in all, a good experience.! read more

They're the best tacos ever!!! There's also a really cool chalkboard that you can use to draw pictures and sign your name

Wait is sooo long!!!! If i walked into chipotle or another Mexican place could of been faster even with 5 people ahead of us. this place only had 2 people ahead when i came in waiting and we all ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our meal/a simple taco or burrito! If you don't want to wait go to a place with people that is ready to serve instead of not having it ready! read more

Insanely tender meat in the birria pizza! The large bowl of consumme for dipping had so much flavor. Fair warning, super messy to eat lol. I wish this place the best of luck because, if going viral wasn't enough to keep the last restaurant at this spot open, y'all going to need it. read more

I couldn't take the smell of the bleach and the no AC . read more

Very friendly staff at the counter. No tables inside only a counter with 8 stools so be prepared to take your food with you. Ordered the Surf & Turf Burrito on my first visit. My order appeared promptly and I was surprised to see the burrito cut in half and each half wrapped separately. It was very flavorful, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the steak was very tender. Overall, my first experience was a good one and I'll definitely go back to try more menu items. read more

Being out in the suburbs you sometimes have to drive a ways to get good Mexican food. The good thing with taco verde is that they are local, authentic and you get a HUGE bang for your buck.

Cozy spot on the intersection of greenwood rd and Glenview rd Would highly recommend 5/5 read more

Top tear service and tacos 10 out of 10 would recommend. Benny is a really friendly guy.

The only thing I really like at Taco Verde is the tacos; the rest of the food is just alright.

I went to try the birria tacos at the restaurant and they were great. I wanted my husband to try them today at home, so I placed an order for pickup. By the time I got home (went straight to restaurant and came back home) tacos were extremely soggy and tasted horrible. So disappointing and a waste of $15 read more
