This is now Taco Firme! I've been here a couple of times now. It's a decent Mexican restaurant. I really liked the Asada Quesadilla and the Burris tacos. The cashier is always so nice and friendly. Food is cooked to order and always comes out hot and fast. I would recommend giving it a try if you're in the area! read more

Yoli's Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely horrible food. Can't even call this Mexican. Everything was watered down, the creme, verde, even the beans were super runny and flavorless. The quesadilla was basically an over grilled tortilla with barely any meat or cheese. Way overpriced, wouldn't eat here if you paid me to. read more

Food and service was incredibly incredibly subpar I would highly suggest you go absolutely anywhere else. However, the prices were decent and you could choke the food down. I tried the Birria tacos, quesadilla and a couple of the other tacos and they were not good 5 out of 10 overall. read more

Not that long ago I found Yoli's Tacos while searching Yelp for Mexican restaurants within a short radius of my neighborhood. After a yoga workout this weekend I was in the mood to try a different restaurant I had not tried before and Yoli's came in mind. I ordered takeout via Yelp which was actually a wise decision in the long run. Prior to walking out my door I already had an idea of what I wanted to order, so as I warmed up my vehicle I placed my order on Yelp with hopes that it would be ready by the time I arrived. Other than tacos, there were two items that my taste buds yearned for after looking at pictures shared on Yelp, which was the Suizo Dinner Burrito, and the Grilled Chicken Salad. I loved the Grilled Chicken Salad because it had fruit on it which I thought was unique in comparison to salads I have had before. I ended up ordering the Suizo Dinner Burrito which was more on the lines of what I had the taste for, but on a different day I would love to order either the Grilled Chicken Salad or tacos. It was a witch hunt trying to locate a parking spot along Chicago Ave because the restaurant does not have a lot of its own. I am just thankful I ordered takeout because all it was was simply finding a spot to park then going inside to pick up my order which would have been a nightmare if I tried to order inside. I probably would have said the hell with it at some point. That Burrito Suizo was huge! And good! I ended up eating half of it then the other half later in the day taking me a total of six hours to finish the whole meal entirely. As for my ordering experience with Yoli's Tacos it was satisfying! The food appearance, portion size, and taste did not disappoint. ~Blessings~ Thomas G read more

So I ordered for delivery from here because they had a $5 off coupon. It had no stipulations on it, just 5 off. Well, I placed my order and maybe 5 minutes later, they canceled it. I had no idea why, maybe some issue at the restaurant. Anyway, I went to order from another restaurant and I saw Yolis was still on the coupon section. So I clicked it and they changed it to $5 off $50. So basically they saw my order, saw it probably was only $15 bucks with the coupon and decided it was not worth it. I understand if you want to change it, but you really should honor the order and change it after my order. It's not my fault you did not put a stipulation on it, it should be honored. Really disrespectful to a customer and I am definitely not going to come back or recommend to others. Really shitty Yolis. read more

I drive past this taco spot on a regular basis, so I had to stop and check them out. The pastor taco was good enough to make me want to give them another chance, but the steak taco and rice were disappointing. The steak taco wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Steak was lacking flavor, consistency, and freshness. The rice was very disappointing as it was cold, hard, and not very flavorful. If I tried them again, then I'd probably stick with the pastor but maybe order it in a torta since that seems to be their speciality. read more

We loved our first experience ordering Yoli's takeout! We called in the order (with some additions & subtractions) and the girl up front nailed it! We can HIGHLY recommend the vegetarian tacos even for non-vegetarians (like ourselves). They're LOADED -- Beans, rice, avocado, tomato, lettuce, onions, cilantro! Both salsas are great too. The green is mild and the red is HOT HOT HOT. The Chicken Suizo Burrito Dinner was large!! We split it. Very impressed by the flavor of the rice! It's different & really tasty! The chicken in the burrito is a little different but really good. We added avocado. read more

This place is called Taco Firme now. We've tried their burrito, torta, and their tacos (chicharron, potato, and Chile relleno). Everything we've had so far was delicious read more

Stopped in at Yoli's for lunch. I love small mom and pop shops like these. I just ordered a couple of tacos. A potato one and Al pastor. The potato one wasn't quite what I pictured but edible but the pastor one was great. The prices were very reasonable. I'll be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Wow this place went downhill fast. I've tried to give them a few chances, benefit of the doubt, but they have consistently gotten worse and always mess up our order (which is sad when I am the only person in the joint. It's not like they are slammed with business). The last two times we have ordered delivery from them they have left out items. So, this time I went to the restaurant to make sure we got all the stuff we ordered. Well that didn't help much either. I didn't realize I needed to literally unwrap the aluminum and check the order so closely. They skipped the sour cream on the burrito and it was wrapped poorly. This is what they give for the chips and salsa now. They used to give the green salsa and now it's pico de gallo in a small cup. They used to fill a brown bag with chips and now use these tiny bags with 20 chips. Seriously, skip this place. read more

Usually, I look up a place on Yelp before I eat there. This time, I had a gig nearby and was starving right after. I couldn't afford to spend the time to find a place. This place is the definition of a no-frills restaurant that could be a family operation from what I could tell. I ordered the Taco Dinner (3x Carne Asada Tacos, Rice & Beans) along with the Large Horchata (32oz) and it was all muy delicioso (very delicious). The steak is tender, juicy, and crispy at the same time (due to its smaller cuts of the steak - it cooks/crisps very fast.) The flavor was spectacular. I was genuinely blown away by how good this food was. The tacos were very filling. And for $2.40 per taco?! That's unbelievable for the price. The kicker? The green sauce. It's like a creamy, avocado-based salsa with a slight kick to it. It's so good on the tacos. read more

Food was terrible, this is coming from a Latina who has tried Mexican food all over the country and outside of the country, meats were over salted and salsas were terrible. My burrito Suzio was under cooked and missing beans. The food was just not edible at all. read more

Yoli's Tacos - Disgusting. Could only eat half because I did not want to waste food but this was truly not edible. - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Original review I was so impressed. Ordered from grubhub and it was AWFUL. Contacted grub they talked to the restaurant. Restaurant only refunded me $7 and claimed they have no idea how my horchata could have spilled; well I attached the photo of how I received it. read more

We discovered this little gem with an incredible heart! You can see the passion in the owners dishes! The home cooked dishes are amazing. Yoli's Tacos changed it's name to Taco Firme they are owned by the same family. read more

How in the f@$# does this place have 3 1/2 stars? If you can get food anywhere else get it there. This place is so terrible. Vibe had food here 3 times and 2 out of 3 the order was screwed up but this time I got an expired coke that made my stomach hurt for hours to be honest I don't know if it was the coke.theybbarelynput any ingredients on here. If we're spose to pay 3x the market value we should get that on the food we order you cheap f$@#s. I hope this place is shut down in the next year for it's terrible food.... F@#$ you yolis!!! read more

Skeptical based on the reviews alone, but tempted by $7 off coupon from Grubhub I went against my better judgment and ordered anyway. 75 minutes delivery estimate, ok that's fine the kicker was when my food actually arrived. In walks in the delivery driver who immediately glances at the receipt and demands that I give him a $5 tip for his delivery. I hadn't even grabbed my order out of his hand before he demanded a cash tip. He stood there with a stern look on his face and I told him that I would tip him because I appreciated his service but that it wasn't a requirement especially if he was going to be rude. No sooner than I tip him and he scurried out the door, I open the bag to find the beans were spilled over and running over everything. Rice had fallen out and I managed to salvage and eat what was left of it since I hadn't eaten all day. I bit into my burrito and half way through I could tell they'd not added the avocado or cheese as I requested. Rice, withered lettuce,tomatoes,beans and sour cream is what I got instead. All in all you get what you pay for. I should've followed my first mind and ordered from Jarabe Mexican Street Food on Taylor st. Now those are some great tacos and the Tex- Mex veggie burrito is EVERYYYYYYTHING. The only reason I gave these place 1 star is because Catia, who worked at the restaurant. When I called to explain what happened she was very courteous and eager to rectify the situation. She also stated that the restaurant has notated and recognized that since hiring this so called "driving company" they've had complaints about deliveries more and more than in the past. Don't think I'll be ordering from this place again. read more

Yoli's is absolutely fire. It is a taqueria that you can just enjoy. Old school type of Mexican spot that you can order up. Love the steak tacos rice and beans. They don't skimp on the meat or the rice and beans. The salsa is very very good as well. Big fan of taco spots like this. read more

Yoli's is incredible. A group of us just finished our meals with a chorus of "wows" and "holy crap, this is amazing," because everything is spiced and sated perfectly, the flavour is amazing, and things are reasonably priced. You must go here! We got steak burritos and the taco dinner (el pastor, ground beef, and chile relleno). read more

Their asada and green sauce are outstanding, but please note my earlier message about credit cards. Most of the time, they will tell you now. RIP OFF ALERT: they will add an extra buck or 2 to your bill without telling you. Make sure you double check your receipt. read more

Just like Kaela below, they just cancelled my order as well when using the $5 coupon. If you don't want to honor it, JUST SAY THAT.

Yoli's was awesome. I originally chose them because they're open later than other taquerias near Humboldt Park, and I'm very satisfied with that decision! The steak tacos were delicious, and the beans were some of the best I've had. I forgot to take a picture because I was too excited to eat the tacos. read more

I was impressed by the steak tacos. I did not expect the spot on Chicago Ave to be as ethically yummy as some of the more popular Mexican spots. It's not far from home which is nice too. read more

This place is my neighborhood goto for a quick bite. They are fast and prices are great. I love their horchata and their taco dinner, which is a great price. They have fresh tasting beans and rice which totally hit the spot. When you eat in you get salsa and chips on the house. Also, when youre sick, the chicken soup is incredible - super savory and flavorful, and you come out feeling great! read more

Yoli's Tacos - Taco dinner - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This once was our neighborhood taco joint. For a year an a half we stopped by 2-3 times/mo. The small, no frills restaurant is run by a family. They were waiting tables, taking phone orders and cooking up some fresh Mexican favorites. More recently I've noticed that quality has gone down a bit. Perhaps in the past, someone else manned the grill. Example of what I mean: Rather than having a nice sear and flavor on the steak, it's grey, and greasy. The tacos/burritos/etc have ended up being soggy or seemingly thrown together. I do still love their salsas, prices, and speed to the plate/take out window. Keeping my fingers crossed that next time I order it will be better than the past 3 visits. read more

Yolis tacos still is figuring out their menu/ordering process but i still kinda like it. The food isn't mind blowing by any means, but I'm all about supporting independently owned restaurants, so I been 3 times now. Def hope they get their service and menu ironed out that way they can stay around for a while. They are located in the perfect neighbrohood to really take off if they get their act together. I'm for sure a big fan of their 3 diff salsas they give you with your tortilla chips if you dine in. They offer about 6 tables to eat inside their establishment if you'd like, but they seem to do a lot of togo business. read more

My husband is currently VIOLENTLY ill with salmonella after eating here. This was the last thing he ate yesterday and only had food I prepared today. 24h after eating beans here he can't even keep down water. If I didn't work in healthcare I would be extremely concerned with his condition. I went in here once before and walked out. This only confirmed my suspicions. read more

Well, I thought we will be getting a nice hot Mexican dinner. However, I am disappointed that it came luke warm. Plus, be careful when ordering the queso. If you want shredded cheese, then this is for you. If you want it melted so you can dipped your chips or pour your food, then you better make sure you tell them that. At least they paid attention that I did not want onions or cilantro on the tacos. Will not come back agzin. read more

Ordered food from Yoli's last night and could not have been more satisfied. They delivered all the way out to my River North neighborhood -- where there is hardly any authentic Mexican food-- so this was a pleasant surprise to my taste buds. I got two tacos (asada, pastor) both were deliciously crisp and the accompanying salsas were phenomenal. I also got a sopa Azteca, which was great! Loaded with flavor, extremely fillings even for a "small" size. The delivery service was prompt and i'm definitely going to be ordering from here again. read more

My first time here, and I had Chilaquiles. Really good food and huge portions for a reasonable price. Nice people too. Check it out.

Can't say enough about how great it is to have this place within walking distance of my apartment. It's real food at a good price and you will feel SATISFIED. The staff is always nice. Even if you come in tired like I did one evening and knocking over their cleaning sign :-/. I'm always here for people making me feel welcomed, even in my moments of clumsiness. But the ones who also feed me well?? Angels on earth! I've brought several friends here by this point because the food is worth it. read more

I live extremely close by but would rather take the bus to Dona Naty's for cheap but good eats or walk to Taco el Jaliscience for very tasty but somewhat pricier fare. The people are nice but the food is so, so salty and not very flavorful. Salsas/hot sauces don't seem to be made in house either. read more

UPDATE: I ordered from yolis once more hoping it was a one time mess up last time. I asked for no cilantro at least five times and the girl on the phone reassured me she heard me. I got home with my tacos and all three were covered with cilantro and it was in the cheese so I couldn't pick it out. I'm very sad to say I will not be ordering from here anymore My boyfriend and I go here frequently but we were incredibly disappointed last night. I ordered two tacos and said without onions or cilantro twice. We came back home and they were both loaded with onions. My boyfriend called and they said they would give us two for the price of one taco if he came back. He reordered and said please no onion and cilantro but when he came back the tacos had cilantro mixed into the meat making it really hard to pick out. So sad because I love the food and green sauce but our dinner was ruined after this read more

Visiting Chicago and decided on this hole in the wall for tacos. Inexpensive, with attentive service. Chips come with three different dips. Had a steak taco which was delish (get the onion and cilantro for 25 cents extra). The steak quesadilla was to die for! The breakfast meals are huge and come with plentiful tacos. We will be back! read more

My favorite go to for quick / easy Mexican during the week. Consistent quality, fresh meats, great salsas, and fair prices. Go to's are the carne asada and chorizo. Both are well seasoned and always delivers. You don't find any of those hard chunky bits that I've come to associate with many Mexican joint's meat quality. Improvements: They could stand to salt the avocado a little more, its usually a little bland for my tastes, but that's a very nit-picky comment. Cheers to Yoli's and the family that keeps this place great. read more

Yoli's Taco is my neighborhood taqueria - within walking distance so I see it as a fallback option. The main difference between great and good tacos can be quite subtle. I look for meat quality, juiciness, greasiness, flavor, and overall balance. Yoli's meets the minimum standards - more on the greasy side and not as seasoned as my favorite places. My friend had the burrito and really enjoyed it, too. If you don't have high standards for your tacos, this will do the job! read more

Glad to see this opened up! It looked like it was unopen for a couple months. Tacos are good and ingredients are fresh.

AMAZING spot for great Mexican food. I've been going here regularly since they opened and I've never had a less than excellent meal. Service is always exceptionally friendly and prices are fantastic given the size and quality. Everyone else I know who's tried their food agrees about how good this place is. Overall, Yoli's is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood and the perfect place for hand-made, unpretentious Mexican food. read more

Went there on the recommendation of a worker at Dark Matters down the street who gave us this choice or another one further away. She warned us it was a bit of a hole in the wall but had good food. So we weren't expecting much from atmosphere point of view so bang on there. Food also was bang on. Real tasty quesadilla, beef fajita and beef tacos. The tacos were dirt cheap at a bit more than $2/each. The others were very reasonable too. Quesadilla may have been a bit on the heavy side due to the extr thick tortilla. But felt like pretty good home made comfort food which was just fine for us after eating a lot of rich heavy food at all of the other touristy places we seemed to be visiting. Service was very good from the friendly lady in the front. Nachos appetizer was fresh and tasty and refills provided. Would go there again if I'm the area. read more
