We came here for some nacho in a bag which was good and the fries didn't look like the one on the menu. We ate inside the Moxy Hotel which was nice, you can even order drinks at the bar and food as well at the bar as well. Being that this was inside a hotel, there's also a window outside you can order and sit outside to eat as well. The food was alright not typical Mexican foods.

While staying at the Moxy hotel we got a late night burrito, & tortilla chips with sides of guacamole, salsa, & cheese- it was excellent!

There's really no setting to speak of, since it's part of the hotel. So you eat in the hotel lobby, there's enough seats and tables though. There's no servers either, you go to the counter and order your food. The food is a bit overpriced, but you're in a hotel in downtown Chicago, so take that into account. However, the food wasn't very good either. I ordered nachos, which tasted mediocre. The tacos were ok. If you're staying in the hotel and you need quick food, it's enough. That said, I wouldn't go back since there's better choices out there.

Thick Cut Jalapeño Bacon Taco, Street Corn - IG @bougiefoodieboi
Kyle W.

I went here to try their signature taco, the jalapeño bacon taco, and I used the yelp check on offer for a free side of street corn. The bacon taco is good but didn't have the texture or substance of a thick bacon, but the other ingredients meshed together produced a delicious taco. However, for $7, I expected more than what I see as the 1 taco does look kind of sad for the price. The street corn is hearty with cotija and other ingredients, but it was not too saucy so I got to enjoy the entire bowl without feeling too bloated. At $7, this was a decent price. This is conveniently located at the Moxy so I guess you pay for convenience, but there is a good amount of Mexican food around River North area at various price points if you want to venture further.

Heard about the Thick-Cut Jalapeno Bacon taco here but it was disappointing. While the bacon itself wasn't that bad, the rest of the ingredients were pretty bland/there wasn't much other flavor (sans the taste of thick cut bacon). I did not taste jalapeño or even pico de gallo. It was more like regular tomato, and then the lettuce, avocado and ranch. Got the taco to-go and unfortunately when I ate it 10 mins later, the wrapping made the flour tortilla soggy and it fell apart pretty quickly. And not even visually appealing--it looked like a very sad taco (see pic). Overpriced for what it was. The decor in the Moxy, where Zombie Taco is located, was very cute for the holidays though.

Their tacos get cold extremely fast because of the nature of the ingredients.. one second the taco was warm, and then all of the sudden it was freezing cold, all in the matter of just a few minutes. The brisket was gross... the fish was mid, and the only highlight I would say was the ambiance and the bacon jalapeño taco. I would literally just go back for that taco, nothing else. It is overpriced and probably not even better than Velvet Taco... Zombie Taco is located within Moxy Hotel, and their bar and the surrounding seating areas is a fun place to chat.. not too loud and good atmosphere. If you are looking for a place with average food but good vibes, then sure. But if you were looking for great food and don't even like bacon, then definitely look elsewhere because I would not get anything other than the bacon taco.

Nachos

Love that this place was inside the hotel we stayed at (The Moxy). They were open pretty late which was nice. The only thing I got to try from them was their nachos and they were delicious!

This was our first stop on our recent trip to Chicago and we were so pleasantly surprised! Considering they're open late, we didn't really expect much from Zombie Taco. It is located inside the Moxy Hotel Lobby, which made it such a vibe! There was a bar, games, and great music! We ordered and quickly got our food. Make sure to check-in on a yelp to get a great freebie! Absolutely loved our food! The nachos were pretty good and the portion was huge! I got the Zombie Burrito and it was so good! Also a huge portion which I was not expecting. Overall, such a hidden gem! Would definitely recommend!

acos were good here. My favorite was the street corn which had a nice amount of lime & perfect amount of cheese. The Bbq chicken taco was also good, you will need more than one The team here were so understanding they made the street corn mild as requested Gracias por la comida

Thick Cut Jalapeño Bacon Taco
Quintessa D.

I tried the brisket (2/5), the bacon taco (4/5), chips with 3 dips (4/5), and bacon cheese fries (3/5). The bacon taco was really good. It was really flavorful! However, the brisket taco was very dry and lacked flavor. The chips were freshly fried and the guacamole was the best out of the three dips. The French fries were just okay. They did what they needed to do but I wouldn't go back for them.

Menu
Marco C.

The environs are strange, being as it is embedded in the lobby of the Moxy hotel. But I have to say that these tacos are really good. I had the brisket taco and the bacon taco, and both of them exceeded my expectations. Both were spicy in a good way, and they weren't kidding about the thick cut of bacon, it's thick but tender enough to eat easily. A little messy to eat maybe - now I have to go find a bathroom to wash my hands - but it was well worth it.

They truly go above and beyond to make sure they deliver great customer service. They'll do little things like offer you a free taco of their Birria while you wait for your food. Go to any market in Mexico and they'll treat you the exact same. Unfortunately for them their original Southside location is closed due to a fire but they'll be back hopefully soon! My son and daughter both ordered their Birria Tacos, my wife ordered their Quesabirria tacos and I ordered their Tazon Chico of their carnaza Birria of course. It also came with a side of their handmade tortillas. Everything tasted so fresh and the Birria was very delicious. So much flavor in the consome. Ordering the tazon is definitely they way to go here because you get the meat in the consome. But if you wanted meat only, you have the option of ordering their plato instead. Regardless of what you order here, you won't go wrong. Enjoy!

Despite their well-earned fame, this spot keeps the humble, hole-in-the-wall energy intact, small, unpretentious, and staffed by some genuinely warm and welcoming people. Pop in, grab a seat, and let them do the rest. My fiancé and I shared the quesabirria combo, two quesabirrias with consomé, a Mexican Coke, and a Jamaica, and honestly, everything was amazing. The Jamaica alone deserves its own shoutout: perfectly balanced, not too bitter, not too sweet, and exactly what you need to cut through the heat of the food. The tacos came out piping hot, prepped right in front of us, loaded with cheese and packed with flavor. The consomé was warming, rich, and perfectly spiced, the kind of broth that makes you want to tip the bowl. And the accompaniments (onion, cilantro, peppers, lime, and salsa) give you full control to doctor things up to your liking. For spice lovers, this setup is a dream. My one gripe, and the sole reason I'm docking a star, is the price. At around $30 for two tacos, a consomé, and drinks, it's a tough pill to swallow. As a Mexican American, there's something about that price point that pulls me slightly out of the authentic experience I was hoping for. I fully respect the craft and passion behind this food, but it's worth noting. That said? Don't let it stop you. This food is incredible, and I'll absolutely be back.

Really awesome space at a crowded downtown location. Foods were served on nice metal holders or disposable/environmentally friendly containers and utensils. The tacos were huge, and I love that they focus on the variety of vegetables on the taco, which is often overlooked at other places. Veggies also make the taco look beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the tikka paneer, the paneer was soft for paneer but firmer than tofu, a really great texture. And the flavor wasn't overpowering. The tikka sauce was light, which I am totally fine with. The chicken quesadilla was also made well and of good value, the kids all really liked it. The salmon was good too but didn't really stand out as much, but appreciate the variety veggies on top! The mexi-Cali shrimp bowl was not bad either, but also didn't stand out much. The shrimp was good but I prefer it cooked even lighter if possible. Flavor was good tho. The rice was long grain, which I prefer, but they do give quite a lot, I ended up having quite a lot leftover. I wish the had a bit more cilantro or other herby mix to increase the depth of flavor, but overall still pretty good. Queso was also really good, thick and creamy, not too salty, but sadly the kids didn't like it as much. Husband also liked the gochujang pork a lot, said it was actually really really good. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we had there. Love that they also had paper towels everywhere. My preferred method of keeping clean haha. Will definitely come back.

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!!

My first time here, and it was such a great experience. Delicious food and a really fun vibe!…read more We walked in around 12:30pm Saturday, and even though the place was pretty packed, we were seated right away! I ordered the Paloma, and my husband got the Michelada, both super refreshing and made well. For food, I ordered the El Gringo with rice and salad. I definitely wish I had swapped the salad for beans, because my husband got both rice and beans, and I ended up finishing my rice and helping with his too lol. Highly recommend this dish, just go for the beans instead of the salad! My husband also ordered three tacos: Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Carne Asada, all of which were really good.
