Tacos were very juicy and filled with flavor, the only down side is that they were very small for $5 each. The place is cute and they are delicious including the elotes I ordered
Let me tell you something... the Sexy Crispy Shrimp are in a league of their own. Absolutely and total perfection, with no notes (at least, no critiques). The shrimp was cooked and breaded flawlessly, the slaw added an ideal level of freshness, and the sauce leveled up the savoriness and overall flavors. While I would have been happy to munch on these all day long, variety is the spice of life, thus I branched out. I also had the privilege of trying the Extra-Juicy Chicken, the West Side Ground Turkey, and the Bangin' Beef. These three were also terrific, Taylor's does not skimp on proteins whatsoever, but also doesn't overload them for the sake of it. Proteins themselves had cosmic levels of flavor, and all (including the chicken) were tender and did not feel as though they've been sitting in a hotel pan for a few hours. While I wanted to say the chicken feels as though it needs something to punch up the flavor, I Only one note here: these three tacos felt as though they needed something a little crisp/fresh to offer contrasting terms of texture. I think a little of that amazing slaw or maybe some finely diced onion is all it would take. The service here is superb. It was very friendly, welcoming, and lightning quick. There is some seating inside, though it is limited. The vibe is cute, with pink tones and murals.
Such a cute, yummy experience! Came here on a lunch hour with a friend who was wanting to try this place out. It was sooo worth it!! We tried the sweet potato taco and chicken taco. Both had wonderful flavors, with both types of tacos layerd with corn tortillas and bursts of flavor in each bite. We LOVED it!! The inside of the restaurant is colorful and welcoming. This restaurant is located on Taylor street, with some seating inside. Prices are reasonable as well. The staff were super kind and helpful. We plan to come back here on another lunch break.
Great tacos!! Tried the steak, beef, shrimp and fish and they all hit! Great toppings and great prices too. The elote was awesome, added some hot sauce and it was perfecttt! Service was great and the food came hot and fresh. The space itself is a little small but we still found a spot to sit and eat! Overall a fun vibe with great quality, affordable food!
We came to Taylor's Tacos, specifically, for the Taste of Bri collab mushroom taco of the week. It was soooo freakin' delicious! I had to order two more! The chimichurri sauce and pickled onion toppings were the cherries on top! I hope they do this collab again! I hope they also add some more vegan options, such as, more vegan/ plant-based tacos, the one they have is sweet potato and I just happen to not like sweet potatoes, but my guy got it and enjoyed it. Also, fingers crossed to them adding a vegan elote because my guy was praising the elote.
I came here for Taco Tuesday just to realize that this place is mainly for catering and only opens once a week! They've also hitting 2 years in May so early congrats to them! They have a Taco Tuesday special which is 3 tacos for $12! I ordered 5 tacos (1 steak, 2 chicken, 1 shrimp, and 1 fish) thinking they were big and I can't really eat a lot. The tacos were very tasty and flavorful. I do want to say that the tacos are a big small compared to regular size tacos you would get at other places. I would probably need like 4-5 tacos to be full from this place when I usually order 2-3. My boyfriend had 3 tacos and wasn't even full. I was greeted by a very cheerful young lady which made the ordering experience very positive. I don't remember if I saw a seating area cause it's quite small inside, but I think it's just easier to grab and go. I just parked outside and ran in to order some tacos to go. I think I liked the shrimp taco the most and then maybe fish. All tacos had a good kick out of spiciness to them if you're into spicy.
This black female owned establishment holds her own with tacos. It's a super establishment but they don't need much space to wow you! I ordered the sexy crispy SHRIMP taco and the Taco of the month: The Obama. The Obama is a chicken and sweet potato blend. Both tacos were filling. They didn't skimp on the filling nor the toppings. For $4 and some change per taco, 2-3 will set you just right. The shrimp were a nicely proportion size, cooked well with seasoning. Not chewy and not dry. The Obama needed a bit of work. The shredded chicken, while tender, was a smidge dry which wasn't a good mixture with sweet potato. A nice slaw or crema would've did the taco just right and elevated the existing flavors. I'm eager to return and try more while supporting Black owned.
Place was featured on show Chicago Food to Go and I went to support their Black owned business. I was pleasantly pleased with the taco flavors! Street/paid parking. The street this place is on is busy. Next time I will park on same side of the street as the establishment. I ordered one Chicken and one Shrimp Taco. I added dash of sauce, but one doesn't need sauce to enjoy their Tacos! The owner was there behind the counter and took my order; she was very personable. Inside decor is bright and happy. Seating inside is small and quaint. Looks like they have outdoor seating. I'd love to return on a sunny summer Sunday.
So happy to finally get a taste of Taylor's tacos! After years of being mobile, she has a brick and mortar! Listen, the tacos were so amazing. I tried the shrimp tacos and also sweet potato tacos and both were full of flavor. I also got the guacamole and chips and elote. Both were so good and full of flavor The ambiance is warm and welcoming and this tiny spot is cute for a quick lunch meetup or early dinner. Can't wait to go back for more!
Amazing tacos, service, and community! Taylor and Maya are incredible individuals and the food is made with so much love. The sweet potato tacos were packed with flavor, and crunch and everything you'd want in a taco. The inside is super cute (everything is pink!) and its BYOB!! Will be back :)
I have heard soooooo many good things about Taylor's Tacos!!! I have been wanting to try you guys out when you had the pop up at the Dock's on 35th! I did enjoy my food the most part. I did have to take off two stars. I feel like if you are going to add sugar to your homemade tortilla chips, it should be noted on the menu in your store and well as the regular menu. I personally didn't care for the addition of sugar. I would have liked to have the option of not having it. Next the guacamole and chips was $5. Which I felt was priced very reasonable until I saw it. I was only given 1-2oz of guacamole. I think that's ridiculous! I understand that avocados are expensive but just raise your price and give more guacamole. It was just a swallow in the container (a classic movie quote) IYKYK! The elotes were just okay! I think the corn needed to be drained more. It was alottttt of water at the bottom of my container. Also the corn was heavily limed but had no salt. The cojita cheese and mayo weren't salty enough balance it out. Now that I have gotten that out the way..... Great welcoming customer service! When I walked in I was welcomed with a bright smile that wasn't pretentious at all!!!! The place is very small but clean as a whistle! It's only like three tables. I ordered two steak, one chicken, and one shrimp taco, guacamole and chips, elotes and a Do Well's strawberry basil lemonade. The chicken and steam tacos are small but were stuffed. My steak taco had great flavor, that chicken taco was the most juiciest chicken taco I have ever had. The shrimp was good too. I only had two shrimp on my taco but flavor wise it was delicious! The strawberry basil lemonade was refreshing a bit heavy on the sugar but very good. I definitely will return because those tacos were expertly made and delicious!!!!!!!! Next time I will order the asparagus Taco too!!
Great spot for tacos! The service was fast and the food was yummy. This may become my go to spot for tacos in little Italy.
I see why there's so much hype around Taylor's Tacos! I stopped by and the food is delicious! I got a shrimp taco, sweet potato taco, their taco of the week. The shrimp taco wasn't overly fried it had good crunch. The sweet potato tacos I was so impressed how flavorful they were! I will definitely be coming back. I like the concept they have for taco of the week. A great way to change up the menu. They have several taco options something for everyone. There's some seating available for dine-in and metered street parking.
Sad news! Just heard Taylors Tacos is closing their retail location. They are in our top 3 tacos in #chicago They make the type of taco that melts in your hands and you don't mind licking your fingers in public. Their secret sauce is that good. They will be focusing on their catering and pop up business. Their last day is tomorrow 5/6/2025 go show them some love! read more

Flavorful Taco Tuesday lunch experience. Very excited to try this establishment. Happy Birthday Taylor and thank you for discounted taco prices. On this occasion, I was able to find parking about a block away. There is plenty of meter parking around the corner for the school. I was promptly helped and my order was ready in about ten minutes. I ordered elotes, crispy fish tacos and sweet sexy shrimp tacos. I was satisfied with my meal. Corn on Elotes was good, I did add some cayenne too it when so got home but the spice on the shrimps was perfect. Establishment it self has seating on the inside and outside. I ordered takeout so ventured to nearby 7-11 to get some sundries. Upon return my order was ready. My tacos and elotes were packed securely. I would return to support this business as the tacos were hardy and the service was friendly. The energy was lively as there was a DJ and some were taking advantage of BYOB. read more

Toady is Taco Tuesday!! So I thought we'd head over to "Taylor Taco" since they've been voted best taco in Chicago. Now my wife is half Mexican so I've had sone damn good taco's in my life. Since they were on "GMA" yesterday we expected a crowd. Actually it was full but they were fast. The first experience is always the hostess. The young lady who took our order was so nice and inviting. We ordered one Chicken, Steak, Shrimp & Asparagus Taco (they were out of the Sweet potato Taco) Now I have to be honest, the best taco in the city is straight up CAP! These tacos are mediocre at best. I wasn't impressed with any of them. The shrimp taco was my favorite. The Asparagus taco was my wife's favorite. I do like that it's black owned and I wish them nothing but the best. But as for me I won't be returning. There are much better tacos in the city. Chicken Taco 4/10 Shrimp Taco 6.5/10 Steak Taco 4/10 Asparagus Taco 8/10 All in all I'll give Taylor Tacos a solid 6/10 read more
Finally made it to Taylor's tacos the staff was friendly and informative with recommendations and details about the menu. I got the shrimp, chicken, and steak tacos. I also got the elote. I enjoyed the shrimp and steak the most alongside the elote. read more

So glad I found this place. The location itself is cute with a few seats to enjoy your food. I had the slamming salmon tacos, juicy chicken taco, and shrimp tacos. All three were delicious. Then I had the not taco, which is an empanada and the crust was so flakey and full of flavor. read more
Had been wanting to try them since their opening and finally had the chance to go. Food was delicious. When we entered there was no line or wait and customer service was good. We ordered a variety of tacos and the Tay Way's fries that were the non taco special for the week and two of the juices (cherry and blueberry - blueberry was the favorite between us) they have on the menu and they were good. My girlfriend said her tacos were delicious and everything is always just "fine" or "okay" to her so they have forever customers with us. Will be returning read more

Stopped in for lunch on taco Tuesday and ordered take out. I tried the steak, chicken, and the sweet potato. They do not skimp on the filling! The chicken and sweet potato were my favorites. I would love to go back and try the shrimp! There was a little line to order, but takeout was ready very quickly. read more

This place is small! Only about 6 tables, but don't let the petiteness full you! The sign is just as bright as there food! Super good! Just an fyi, this isn't your typical whole in the wall place, with style comes price! I had there two taco shrimp special and 2 carne asada tacos! Full of flavor on every bite! I just feel there should be a little something on the side even if it comes at a cost! More side options please! Otherwise really good! I'll support these gals! read more

Yum!! This restaurant is such a great addition to Taylor street. I work in the medical district and have already come for lunch a few times. Like so many others have said, the tacos are packed with flavor! Very juicy and unlike any other tacos you've ever had. The elotes are so delicious too and have the perfect amount of toppings. The only negative for me is that the tacos are very small, so you have to order a lot of food to fill yourself up, making this not the most affordable lunch spot to eat at all the time. Adorable outdoor spot too! Definitely give them a try, you won't be disappointed read more
This review is for their tacos available at the Docks location on east 35th street. I was disappointed with the final product. The tacos themselves are virtually flavorless & the accompanying sauce it's merely ok. The tacos are extremely small & it'd honesty take about six of them to satisfy any appetite. The restaurant itself also runs out of particular items/flavors so coming here is a crapshoot. The quest for my holy grail taco continues but this isn't it. read more

Hi Jim!…

We made it tonight for their soft opening and I'm so glad we did. It's a nice quaint seating area but the taco's and customer service is SUPER SIZE. We met Taylor and Maya both sweethearts and attentive. My daughter and I was greeted as soon as we walked in, the music was jamming and everyone in the restaurant was laughing, swaying to the music and chowing down on the BEST TACO's in Chicago. I ordered my food to go because it was almost closing time. (When a Taylor made an announcement last call for taco's patrons that was dining in came up to place to to go orders (that's how good the food is). We ordered the Extra Juicy Chicken Taco's (I don't know what seasoning they use but it need to be bottled it's soooo flavorful) Savory Steak Taco's and Sexy Crispy Shrimp Taco's and we enjoyed everything down to the darn lime, lol. We will be back to dine in! If you want great food, good music and awesome customer service you have to try Taylor Taco's (don't blame me if you get hooked ) read more

10/20/2023--I was in the neighborhood for a concert at the Credit Union 1 Arena at UIC, and I was hungry. Did a quick Yelp search, and this place was only 3 minutes away. I heard so much about the owner's story and trusted first-hand accounts about how good the food is. I've had them saved for a while and was so glad they were open. I had three tacos: extra-juicy chicken, sexy crispy shrimp, and sweet poppin' potato; along with elo Tay corn + street mix. Fire! Everything was so flavorful, juicy, and fresh. All of the tacos stood up to their names. The sauces (red and green) for the tacos were so good I could drink them. The menu is small and straight to the point. There's nothing to think about. Try it all. I'll be back for the fish taco, which was the sold-out taco of the week. Housekeeping wise, the interior is vibrant and welcoming, limited dine in seating available, no restroom for patrons, metered street parking, and not wheelchair accessible. read more
