I went to Taqueria Baja express on my lunch break. They do have a parking lot to the right of the building. When I came inside, there was plenty of seating in the restaurant appeared to be clean. I walked up to the window to place my order you can see there is a cook to the right of the cash register making and preparing food. I ordered a Carne Asada quesadilla. Their quesadilla is just cheese and meat. With tomatoes, lettuce, and mayo on the side. It is extra to have onions and cilantro on it. 50 Cent each. I ordered a small Horchata with no ice. The quesadilla ended up being $14 total and the Horchata was around five dollars for a small. I did not order rice and beans on the side. I was confused when my quesadilla was that expensive. The Carne Asada quesadilla was extremely greasy. To the point where I had to let each piece of this quesadilla drained out before I tried to eat it. The flavor of the meat was really good. I wasn't expecting purple onions to be used. I would rate the Carne Asada quesadilla. A 7.5 out of 10. Due to the amount of grease that oversaturated the texture and experience of the quesadilla. The green sauce is spicy and it was good. The hard shot it was a 10 out of 10 it was so good! Next time I go, I'm probably going to order a gordita or regular tacos. It is overpriced for the amount & quality of what you get. read more

The corn in the cup is off the chain The restaurant is always clean. I recommend others to come to check them out read more

Customer service is fast and friendly. The food is good in terms of flavor, but the menu is somewhat limited. They only offer corn tortillas for the tacos, and the tortillas are fried in grease so these tacos are greasy, but they taste good. Probably not the best for your health, but still delicious. The taco special on Tuesdays and Thursdays is a great deal. read more

It was good she was really nice and was patient the tacos are amazing and fresh 10/10 would definitely eat again read more

Taqueria Baja Express - Loaded fries medium - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I will never go back to this place... Service: I had terrible service from the young lady taking orders and helping the cook is rude and has a bad attitude about service...she ignored me the whole time. Food: A joke! I ordered beef enchiladas and asked for beef 2x the man said yes I also said I wanted red sauce he shook his head yes...just for a sale cause apparently when I called them back the girl said we only have chicken! I said the guy said beef she said NO we don't have beef enchiladas. Well the food is not fresh and the chicken smelled like dog food and tasted funny. Threw it in garbage. 2 stars for the CORN! NEVER AGAIN read more

Delicious food, great service! What more can you ask for. A great mainstay on Halsted St.

I just got tacos from a place in Oaklawn because I was nearby. Let me tell you, I will never cheat on Taqueria Baja again! Didn't even come close! Taqueria on 111th Halsted is awesome. The first time I went, they refused to wait on a customer because he didn't have on a mask. It says it on the door and at the window that masks are required for service but he still tried to order without a mask. I was so pleased to see a restaurant adhering to the guidelines and keeping everyone safe. Oh and the food?? Delicious! The steak melts in your mouth, the chicken tacos are stuffed, the corn is delicious and the guacamole is some of the best that I've ever had. Also, the portion size of the gauc is really generous. Do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed. Bring a mask! read more

Taqueria Baja Express - COVID-19 info - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have just about had everything on the menu! Maybe that's an exaggeration, however, I've had a lot of the items on the menu. I am most impressed with the chicken products, while everything is pretty damn good. What is most impressive is the level of customer service. You can tell this is a family owned business and they take pride and treating their customers well. There are several other restaurants in the immediate area that should take notes from place! Highly, highly recommend it. read more

Taqueria Baja Express - Beef Burrito with fries! - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Over priced and rude! I asked for a veggie tostados which I have paid for for an entire year then out of nowhere they no longer sale them. I asked to speak to someone else, called was hung up on and blocked. 1. stop coming in neighborhoods not wanting to deal with the current community. 2. Black communities have many vegetarian and vegans. If you are going to have a restaurant please provide a veggie option. read more

Food is terrible and cashier had an attitude, plus I got $25 worth of food with one napkin ask for more and gave me one more, I will never go back read more

I will be back! read more

Last night was my first time here and I was not disappointed. My 16 year old daughter recommended it and after looking at the menu and seeing the prices I agreed. We did the 10 steak tacos with 3 sides and must say those were the best I've had in the city. Will definitely be going back and I highly recommend anyone to give Em a try. read more

Disappointed. I ordered the 3 tacos special w/fries and a pop for $7.99. Good steak tacos but small. For that price I was expecting the nice full size tacos but they were the small tortillas. The fries were a very small portion as well and they were nothing special. Instead of pop I chose bottled water. I appreciated the fact that it was an option. I was really turned off by the amount of food I got for the price. That bag was AWFULLY SMALL. The thing that REALLY bothered me was my total being $9.15. I questioned it before paying because that seemed high. The cashier stated that they charge a 3.99% fee for using cards. I was NOT HAPPY. If I wasn't so tired and hungry I would've walked out. I don't patronize businesses that pass credit card fees on to the customers. I feel it's insulting. They should have at least posted a sign about it so it wouldn't seem so sneaky. Final takeaway, good steak tacos, forgettable fries, small portions, overpriced, sneaky hidden card fee, NEVER GOING BACK. ‍ read more

Someone there is mentally unable to process a simple order, borderline SLOW if u will. I order chicken tacos WITH ONLY CHEESE n they have managed to screw it up every time. i thought at first it was a mishap but they don't understand English or don't care. Won't be going back threw the food away this time!!!!! read more

I give them five stars the food is good and fresh I don't see how people complain so much food is expensive and your not just paying for food your paying the chef to cook it as well what do you expect to get for $10 like seriously a good taco to me should be no less than 4-5 dollars where are you eating at ? I live in the neighborhood and I appreciate a good restaurant in our area the food is consistent they never have failed me I want them to stay so if you know what good food is then try them out read more
