Tacos, queso & chips
Archana P.

Velvet taco is the best taco place in Chicago. If you are drunk, hungry or just bored order velvet taco. You cannot leave Chicago with ought trying velvet taco. The chicken tikka is the best thing ever to exist on this planet. The veggie ones are amazing like the beer battered cauliflower. I love this place, it's a must go. If you don't like it it would be an absolute shocker.

Buffalo chicken tacos, a must try.

The buffalo chicken tacos are my favorite. They are absolutely delicious, so tangy and bursting with flavor. I visit at least once a week for these tacos. Their red velvet cake is also stunning. Delicious frosting, moist cake. The service is very casual and cool. The ambience is rustic and warm. I love this location and also the Gold Coast location because of the art.

#s 3, 8, and 8.5 on the menu

I was craving a shrimp burrito so I decided to come here. I have walked past this place many times…read morebut never tried it. I stopped by with my pup to order shrimp burrito to go. Evelyn greeted us right away and placed my order. I asked for spicy salsa so she recommended the gobernador salsa which was a green spicy salsa made with poblanos. Evelyn was so sweet! She gave my puppy a treat and also brought out a bowl of water for him while we waited for the food. The inside of the restaurant was really cute and colorful and they had a separate bar area for drinks. I decided to order a spicy michelada with Pacifico beer while waiting. The bartender was super nice and made my drink quickly. It was the perfect amount of spice and was so refreshing! My burrito came out quick for how packed the inside of the restaurant was. The burrito was a good size and was so fresh and tasty! The gobernador salsa was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try something different and this time dine in.

My aunt introduced me to Tacombi yesterday, and I am so glad she did! The restaurant is really cute…read moreinside, and the food was so good. I had the Mexican street corn to start and then the lunch special with two tacos, rice, and beans. I got the carne asada and crispy fish taco. The carne asada is simple with just steak and onions, but so good! The sauce and the cabbage on the crispy fish taco is really good too. I usually don't love a corn tortilla, but these tacos were so flavorful that the corn tortilla was perfect.I also had the watermelon agua fresca, and it was refreshing and not too sweet. One of the staff members, Chris, was such a vibe. He greeted us friendly and professional as soon as we walked and came over later to check on us, and chatted with me and my aunt. Our waitress was amazing too, and several other staff members stopped by to check on us throughout our meal. Exceptional service like this can be hard to find so I really appreciated it. For me, it's a 5 out of 5 because the food and the service are equally great. I highly recommend! I forgot to take pictures but take my word for it lol.
