I was just randomly walking around the area and the festive music drew me in. Reminded me of the kind of place you might see in a neighborhood in Mexico City, casual, pop up style, no frills and just really good food and friendly hardworking staff. In a way it felt like a makeshift restaurant with an urban warehouse vibe, big colorful signage on the walls, folding chairs and card tables make up the interior. It was very busy, almost every seat taken and the staff was running around taking orders with a smile delivering food and seemed to be having fun too. This is the kind of ENERGY I love!! There is a separate bar for drinks. The juices are freshly made in house, the horchata was highly recommended and apparently always sells out. I might have gotten the last glass of the night, the guy who ordered right after me couldn't get it. My quesoburrias and chicken quesadilla were very filling, and honestly I didn't need to order three, I left overstuffed haha... the waiter says I should try the shrimp tacos and cod next time. (Yelp tip:) He also told me that on Tuesdays from open til close it's BOGO on all tacos but there's always a line. Oh I'm definitely going to be back for this! Might be one of my most enjoyable meals in the city in 2026 so far! read more

Tacombi is the place you need to visit to satiate your taco cravings! With a lot of taco options in the west loop this is the clear winner! The sinaloa shrimp is the best there is and props to the al pastor, seared fish, and carne asada. Excellent esquites and the margarita packs a punch, especially if you dare to get the spicy margarita! The vibes feel like the minute you step out you'll be greeted by the beachside at playa del Carmen! End your meal with their churros for good time. read more

I have been coming to this spot on Tuesdays and other occasions and it never disappoints. The shrimp and Baja fish are easily my top two favorites, always fresh and full of flavor. They offer a rewards program and you can also use the InKind app which is a nice bonus. The staff is wonderful and create a consistently welcoming and upbeat vibe. The food is always fresh and it has become a favorite not just for me but for my family and friends as well. They have all fallen in love with this place. Customer service here is exceptional every time. My go to drink is the Sandis Santa. It is a must have for me on every visit. I also love the elote, it is so good. Street parking is available which makes it convenient. Highly recommend checking this spot out read more

after avoiding this chain restaurant for so many months in New York, I finally tried these tacos in Chicago. The restaurant itself is lively and opens out to the street similar to how a garage opens into a driveway. It was very packed on a Friday night and extremely loud, but it made the experience even more fun to see everyone enjoying tacos around you. definitely tough getting the waiters attention tho. we tried the corn esquites, tacos al pastor, birria taco, and carne asada taco. one thing I definitely did not like here were the corn tortillas and how thin they were, causing my tacos to fall apart after adding lime to them. I felt like the pork taco lacked a little of the spice that they're known for so countered this by adding more green salsa to add to the flavor. I was not a fan of the beef taco, especially because of how liquidy it was from the oils and I think it just didn't resemble an authentic Carne Asada taco. My boyfriend enjoyed the birria taco very much, tho! my favorite dish was definitely the corn. Given, I don't know many taco places in Chicago that are fast casual like this place. I would definitely come back, especially for the corn. read more

Our server Brandi K was amazing! Her energy is so great and she was so sweet to my friends and I. We were having fun and Brandi asked what we had planned for the weekend. We mentioned we were wedding dress shopping and she brought us complementary shots! Not only were the shots so freaking good (watermelon juice + agua Fresca), but we loved Brandi's comments about celebration and community!!!! Thank you for an awesome lunch! Also the chicken tinga and Baja crispy fish tacos were sooo good. And the frozen margarita was perfect for a hot day. read more

A coworker suggested lunch here and I'm so glad she did. Just stepping thru the door I knew the food would be good and I was right. Every single worker was nice and welcoming. They have a bar as well. The seating isn't that comfortable but who cares when the food is so good. First of all they have the best chips and salsa I've ever had in my life! The flavor on the chips along with the crispness is insane! I would be happy enjoying that alone! However I enjoyed the fish tacos with a side of rice. All delicious!!! Everything was cooked perfectly with authentic mexican flavor. I will be a regular here. read more

The place was busy when we walked in and waited while before we got seated. The doors are open where we got seated which made it cold but the music and ambiance inside was nice! We got the fish taco and birria taco which was good but the birria consume was a little salty but overall the food was good. We also got a pina colada and didn't realize it was big but it was good and a little strong. This is perfect for two people to share. We also got their street corn and it was so nice and warm. The taco do comes with fresh cilantro salsa and a spicy sauce which was really good. It was a Friday night and it was such a great vibe. We have to Come back and try their churros. read more

I wanted to love this place so bad. Let's start with the atmosphere. I love what they did with the space - tons of room and good vibes. Very fitting for Fulton Market. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things? I got the chicken tinga taco and baja fish taco. The fish taco was my favorite. We also got chips and guac for the table which tasted pretty standard. Everything just tasted pretty average at best. My husband said his birria taco was his favorite. The prices are steep but that's expected in the area. There are definitely way better Mexican options in the city, but I'm sure the vibes here are fun! I think I have to give this place a second chance. read more

1st time and it was nice. I've had them bookmarked for a few months and decided to check them out today. We came abt 130 and there weren't any other patrons. Seated wherever. Everyone working there was extremely friendly, and accommodating! The energy was crazy amazing. We ordered 2 crispy fish tacos, 4 carne asada, & 1 beef birria taco. 2 margaritas and 2 Sandia Santa drinks. Everything was great! I didnt care for the birria taco tho. Too sweet for my liking. But those juicy sweet steak tacos... Lord have mercy! I could eat those daily. The fish tacos were good also. They topped it off with anejo shots! Baby I would return!!! The service alone makes them 5 stars. read more

I love the casual open concept of this place, it felt very inviting and the staff were prompt and kind with service. I ordered the Baja crispy fish taco and the crispy chicken taco, which was surprisingly good. I enjoyed the complimentary fresh chips & salsa as well. To drink, I ordered the hibiscus margarita, I didn't enjoy this at all. I forced myself to finish it but the flavors just didn't mix well in my opinion. I'm not sure if the tacos are worth $6-$7 for just one, but it is Fulton Market so I guess that's to be expected. I'd probably stop back in for a quick bite to eat if I didn't have other options. read more

This place makes you feel like you are in a taqueria in mexico. All detail in the location makes you get the full experience. Food is overpriced for a taqueria and with a fusion/upscale taco experience. The rib eye burrito was tasty. Just needed a steak and topic generosity being that most of the burrito was the tortilla wrapping. Al pastor was not the greatest and did not taste fresh. Service began well then lacking in attention despite location being half empty. The tunes playing were both Mexican hits and reguetón classics. Good vibe. read more

Decent size taqueria with fast service. Gives you Mexico City vibes. Really liked the black bean and sweet potato taco. The avocado tostada was pretty good as well.

Takeout - carne asada burrito. For the price, the portion size has much to be desired. Barely filling but a nice pressed tortilla. The steak was salty, rice was bland, and overall lacked any true redeemable qualities. Salsa was fresh but didn't pack a punch or have a full flavor. read more

Fun and lively atmosphere, and attentive service. Came here after work and started with an agua de piña. My initial assessment of a taquería is usually based on the pastor, and the al pastor taco did not disappoint. I also found the birria taco juicy and flavorful. These are the two I would recommend. Neither of us particularly enjoyed the tinga - the chicken and double tortilla were dry and lacking in flavor. As for the fish taco, the fish was cooked well but could have done with less of the creamy sauce. I recommend you come on a Tuesday and enjoy the outdoors! read more

Shoutout Diondre for the incredible service and hospitality. I'd make a trip back just to sit at the bar and chat with him! Every staff member here was so nice, smiley, and friendly.

Was in the mood for tacos and stumbled upon this spot. I came on a Friday however they have half price tacos on Tuesdays so I'll definitely be back. Whenever I see birria tacos on the menu I have to try it. I also ordered the shrimp taco per the recommendation of our waiter. The Birria tacos were good but I will say the shrimp tacos flavor was better. The place has an authentic Mexican touch to it inside. We also tried the sandia santa drink and it's strong for warning. read more

Where da semi-tasty, mildly overpriced tacos at? RIght here lol! Tacos here are decent, but nothing special in a neighborhood full of taco joints. The seared fish is the best I've had here. Im an Al Pastor fan and its ok, again nothing special. Love the pineapple on top though. Staff here is nice and sitting on the outdoor patio in warmer months is always cool. If you sit inside they usually have it opened up to get that nice breeze as well. The place itself is a nice size. read more

Another great time at Tacombi! Quick service, and always a great vibe here! The chips and salsa here are so good. They were out of horchata but I got a hibiscus drink and it was tasty! I tried the birria ramen and I'm obsessed! This was sooo good, the noodles were great! I wish this was here to stay! I also got the elotes and this was great! Can't wait to come back! read more

How good can a chain Mexican restaurant be? If it's this one, pretty good! I walked in absolutely starving, and while I was initially hesitant about ordering three tacos at $7 each, I went for it. They do offer a deal on Tuesdays, which definitely makes the pricing feel more reasonable. The service was friendly, though the restaurant can get pretty loud, and it was a bit tough to get the staff's attention. They didn't check in on our table much, which was noticeable. That said, the horchata was excellent, and the birria tacos really impressed me, easily the standout. I even shared my broth with the table, and everyone loved it. If you're craving solid tacos and good vibes (especially on a Tuesday), this spot is definitely worth a visit. read more

Came here during the El Califa de Leon popup on accident, so the wait time was super long and we decided to get takeout instead, but loved the experience nonetheless! Super nice space, lots of seats and a great vibe, and the staff were extra friendly. Ordered the al pastor quesadilla, and was definitely impressed. Perfectly cheesy, the meat was delicious, and the onions and cilantro added the perfect balance to the saltier cheese and meat. Would totally come back if I'm in the area. read more

Tacombi - inside - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was my first time at Tacombi. I tried to make it to the official pop up for the Tacombi and El Califa de Leon collaboration, but turned around after seeing the insane line wrapped around the Wicker Park location. The website, Yelp, and Google pages showed they were open; however, they didn't open until 5PM today. Once open, we were seated quickly. The restaurant is casual. I appreciated that they had small coat racks for each table, which is great for the fall/winter time. The menu is very straightforward with few appetizers, tacos, quesadillas, and burritos. We ordered the tacos from the collaboration for $22, which included two Costilla and two chuleta tacos. After reading some reviews, we also ordered two Baja crispy fish and two birria tacos. The tacos came out as they were ready; service was fast! Given that this was a special collaboration with the first Michelin starred taqueria, we were most excited to try the costilla and chuleta tacos. The tacos consist of the tortilla and thinly sliced meat. It's very simple. I didn't find the meats to be flavorful on its own. Our waiter emphasized the need to use the two salsas, and I could see why. The salsas carry the flavor of the tacos. I found the chuleta to be more tender, juicy, and slightly more savory than the costilla. I felt that the tacos were overall very underwhelming. I really enjoyed the birria and the baja crispy fish taco. I will say that the tacos are on the pricier end, but they are good. I'll definitely stop by again to try some of the other things on their menu. read more

Great casual and authentic taco spot in the West Loop. It's a pretty big location so they have tons of seating. They have tacos, burritos and quesadillas. You order on a sheet of paper and the waiter comes to your table to take your order. I enjoyed their al pastor and carne asada tacos. They have 3 different types of salsa at the table that they make in house, they were all delicious and went well with the tacos. The green salsa is the most mild. The red one was my favorite and was spicier. I would totally buy this salsa it was so good!! The service was also prompt and friendly. read more

A must try Taco Tuesday spot! You can mix and match buy-one-get-one tacos and they're absolutely amazing. I got 2 of the Crispy Fish Tacos and 2 of the Shrimp Tacos, and although I don't eat corn tortillas, (they only have corn for tacos at least) the protein and accompaniments were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also got the corn esquites (way too spicy for me because I have the spice tolerance of a child) and my friends loved it! They finished my portion as soon as I offered it up. Interior is super fun and casual for a quick dinner or a round of margs. They also have good happy hour deals on drinks until 6 if you're drinking! Our waiter Steve was the icing on the cake, as he was super attentive and put up with my many questions. Will definitely be back! read more

Man I must have caught this spot on a bad day aka an empty Sunday late afternoon....2 carne asada burritos and both were trash...meat tasted off and zero flavor in rice with no flavor and burrito tortilla was somewhat overcooked and tough....I managed to eat my entire burrito reluctantly and my girlfriend took a few bites of hers and threw into garbage. I've eaten here before in the past and it was pretty good to Excellent...Must have had some call offs or something. read more

The ambiance of the place was nostalgic as I miss my hometown mercado and it reminded me a lot of that. The roll down doors were up, and it was really cold inside, so it made us eat a bit faster so food would not get cold. Drinks: Horchata: 2/10, this batch was VERY watered down, but I did enjoy that "cantarito" taste at the end of it. IYKYK Jamaica: 7/10, I enjoyed that is wasn't sweet, my partner not so much. Food: Corn Esquites: 9/10: I enjoyed that smoky mayo Al Pastor: 9/10 Carne Asada: 10/10 Top Fave Baja Crispy Fish: 10/10 Top Fave Beef Birria: 7/10, the consome was coldish, but it was due to the place being freezing. The flavor wasn't there. Sinaloa Shrimp: 9/10 read more

I always walk by this place, but I never went in for food until Friday night I was just craving for some tacos. I got the Al Pastor and Shrimp tacos to go, but just ate it outside where the restaurant had patio seating set up. They were super busy inside, but my order was ready in 15mins just like how the app had estimated. Interior was super cute! They had like a bar area then like a taco stand kind of truck inside. The al pastor tacos were super good and I will definitely come back for more! I like that they have a piece of pineapple so that way every time you take a bite, there's pineapple along with the al pastor. I actually prefer it this way over cooking the pineapple bits and pieces with the al pastor. The shrimp tacos were phenomenal! The seasoning was really good and shrimps were super juicy on each bite. The shrimp had a good kick to it or maybe I just put a little too much green sauce on it, but either way I had a blast eating these tacos. I love that they have deals here on DoorDash which gives me the opportunity to all the flavors are a very reasonable price! I cannot wait to be back here for some late night tacos! read more

What a great place! Stopped in for taco Tuesday (buy one get one free) all day! We also strolled in around 6:30pm and was still happy hour. Go on Tuesdays for taco deal and happy hour drinks, win win! Coming from California I've missed a good taco shop that's dependable. The birria, seared fish, and Baja crispy fish were all wonderful. We also got the carne asada and al pastor which were tasty but probably wouldn't get again with the other options. The price per taco is pretty steep but the taco Tuesday deal makes it well worth it! read more

Michelin star pop up for a few weeks so I made the trip. I honestly don't know how it has a star. I'm not exactly sure about the logistics in Tacombi with the ingredients and chefs vs in Mexico but I wouldn't ever think twice about eating this again. I tried both the steak and pork. The steak wasn't flavorful while the pork was a little better but over salted. It also just had one big cut of meat rather than your more typical pieces. The tortillas were super oily and then the two homemade salsas weren't good. Finally, $22 for four tacos is pretty in line with prices these days but they weren't even close to being worth that. Cool to try another Michelin star spots food, but not a fan. read more

I heard about this place when they opened up. A chain that originated in Mexico? Count me in. In Mexico, people use "combis" for their public transportation. They don't have no blue or red lines out there. The guys here bought a combi and used it as a taco truck. That's when you get "Tacombi." It's in a great location, and the dining area is very spacious. The service was great. They have plenty of staff to make sure your experience here is great. They have good tasting salsas on the table, pero la salsa no pica. If you want spicy salsas you may have to ask for them on the side. We ended up ordering their Baja Crispy Fish, Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos. All the tacos tasted great, they were just a bit expensive for the size. Having just visited Baja California earlier in the summer, fish tacos from that region are truly special. So ordering them is a must anytime I see them on a menu. The fish tacos came with a perfectly fried beer battered cod, topped with poblano mayo, pickled cabbage and pico de gallo. The fish tasted fresh and had a very crispy outer and tender inside. Overall a very delicious and satisfying taco. The al pastor came with your traditional pineapple chunks and a very tasty marinade. The al pastor was cooked perfectly and very tender. I had higher hopes for the carne asada. It definitely had potential, especially with the grilled onions, and the chile toreado. It was ok, but maybe some more meat would of made this taco taste a little better Overall I was very satisfied with Tacombi and wouldn't hesitate returning. Although the location is great, tacos is definitely it the first thing I think about when I think of this location. Could be a good late night snack type place. read more

Tacoma has its own rules and its own vibe. One is service with a wink. We were waiting outside in November and the host appears in the line with a stack of paper cups and a bottle of mezcal, proceeds to pour it dry. Tacos were delightful. I had a challenge as a keto eater. They don't carry a lettuce base and we were stumped. Solution! Shredded cabbage. Just order your taco on a bed of shredded cabbage, no tortilla, and each comes out in a little bowl. Finally a way for keto folks to enjoy the place. read more
