Came here to hang out with my friends at Moxy. There are a ton of games, drinks and things to do at Moxy along with this 24 hour taco shop! I checked out the menu before I came and was excited about the veggie options aaaand queso!!! I ended up ordering a cauliflower/quinoa taco, queso, and chips. The taco was ok, it lacked something which I can put my finger on. The queso and chips was on point and delicious. If possible, I would get chips without salt. I also would like to have some of the breakfast items but will have to save that for another day. All In all, great place to come for a quick bite to eat or a late night eats and worth hanging out in the lobby for a little bit to play pac man or a competitive game of jenga! read more

We I ate here twice, once as a snack before going to see Hamilton, and once for breakfast. I had the brisket taco with guac and pickled red onion. I was very impressed by the amount of meat they put on the tacos. Big kudos for that, but I would also hope that for $4-$5 per taco it had better have lots of meat! It was very tasty, and I'm a little disappointed with myself for not ordering more! For breakfast I had the breakfast burrito, which consists of cheese, potatoes, sausage, eggs, and salsa. To be honest, I can't say I really detected the sausage in it. Considering how much meat the put into their tacos, I'm surprised the breakfast burrito didn't have more. This place is open 24 hours even to the street, not just the hotel. Give it a try next time you're in the River North area! read more

oof, this was a really annoying experience we approached the side window but we were told by customers eating outside that we had to order inside so that's fail #1 especially bc there was no sign that said to order inside. i wanna assume that there's usually a sign that tells you to order inside bc if those ppl eating outside weren't there, we probably would have either ate somewhere else or the guy cooking would've just pointed next door or something we went inside and started to order on the touch screen BUT guy that's cooking said that we have to order at the bar bc the touch screens weren't working (fail #2) so we had to write down our orders on our phones to tell the bartender. it was only one guy cooking at Zombie Taco and he was NOT friendly at all. he seemed pissed, unable to handle stress well/not working well under pressure or alone, and just overall not a friendly person so we go to the bar and tried to wave down the bartender. there were two bartenders and the bar wasn't busy. one of the bartenders waited until their conversation was done with a customer sitting at the bar and thennn went to us to take our orders while we were deadass staring him down like help pls (fail #3) he then took our orders. the bartender double checked with us our order but i told him he messed up and appreciated him for double checking with us before we got the wrong order to take home. my bf noticed a mistake on the receipt (of our order) and trying to wave down that same bartender took forever even with peripheral vision, you can SEEEE someone waving you down like i understand he was making a drink but he went on to take care of another customer so i definitely did not feel taken care of at this place (fail #4). honestly at this point, i didn't even want to try Zombie Tacos anymore. it was such a let down and this took too much of our time. the bartender then told us that we had to go to the guy cooking and tell him about the mistake THAT THE BARTENDER MADE... ok accountability and taking responsibility out the window it's just weird bc he even double checked with us before sending our order over... (fail #5) finally got our food and my bf lives within 2 minutes of this place so it's deadass walking distance but tell me why our food was cold. none of our foods were hot (we got 3 fish tacos, 1 grilled adobo bbq chicken taco, 1 braised brisket taco, and 1 street corn). i feel like if the foods were hot, they would have been okay but this was completely unacceptable. none of the tacos were hot, not even WARM! the only good thing from this place was the street corn. there's nothing special about these tacos or this place. definitely not coming here again due to such a headache and disappointment of an experience read more

1) tasty tacos? Check! 2) available whenever you're hungry (24/7)? Check! 3) fast service? Check! Sure, $3+ for a taco isn't cheap, but it's not insanely expensive considering the quality and flavor of the food. We are from San Antonio and have had our fair share of tacos. Here, they're not what you'd expect to find at a taco stand in SA (bean and cheese, fajita, etc). They're a little more unique. We loved 'em! So much so, that we ate here twice in two days. read more

Soooooo good when your hungover. Easy access off LasAlle and attached to a super swanky Moxy Hotel. Burritos are fire. -Yale Reardon read more

Visited a few weeks ago for a ladies night out with my girls. To my surprise there was a drag show that evening which was absolutely fabulous!! We had plans to grab dinner, but after checking out the small plates around us, we couldnt hesitate to order tacos off the menu. Given that I am on keto, I was able to order the carnitas in a bowl and they were SOOOOO tasty!! They were also very filling to my surprise. On a normal night when there isnt a drag show, the ambiance is great for chatting and catching up with girlfriends! They also have various games that you can play with your crew along with a live DJ on some nights! Def a cool unexpected experience... you should definitely check it out! read more

Nice spot for a quick bite, especially since it's open late! Their tacos are satisfying and flavorful, checks all the boxes! I tried the carnitas and the fish and would recommend both though I thought the carnitas was a little better. read more

Zombie Taco - Carnitas and fish taco - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The lunch menu is small but mighty! If you only have an hour to kill during the week, this place is fast and filling. A taco costs around $4 and is stuffed full of goodness. I HIGHLY recommend the Thick Cut Jalapeno Bacon Taco. It's different than any other taco I've had and, it's a thick cut of bacon. Come on. Located in the lobby of The Moxy hotel, the Bar Moxy also serves Zombie Taco from the bar (if you want a drink to go with that bacon). The lobby itself is full of giant games and a great atmosphere. Highly Recommend if you're in the area :) read more

Fantastic taco selection--we got one of each taco, and they were all amazing. My favorite was the Korean BBQ!!! Highly recommend checking it out anytime during he day or night. read more

Decent flavor, but really messy tacos. Service was also very odd. We walked up and there was one other couple sitting at a table. With no one outside acting as a host, we grabbed a table and waited.....and waited. Finally, I went to the window and asked if we should order there or if there would be a server. He said we had to order at the window or come inside. After deciding to order at the window, he said that he needed to have the cook take our order. Weird. Anyway, we ended up ordering asked about beer to which the cook said we would have to come inside to order. Odd. Anyway, we sit down and wait for our food. A minute later, a server comes out to take the order from the other couple as well as bringing out drinks and water for them. A minute later a manager comes out and asks us if we'd like to order. Huh? We end up grabbing our food and chowing down. The flavor was decent, but these tacos just fell apart and got very messy very fast. Definitely ask for extra napkins. read more

My friend and I came here on a Friday night and it was a pretty good meal. We started with the chips and dip, which I would say was the best food of the evening. We got a few different cocktails and they were all generally pretty good. I would recommend the Paloma for a refreshing and yummy drink. The menu is pretty small with only a few taco offerings, but I enjoyed my chicken adobo taco. We were sat in the front in behind a curtain so we didn't really get to experience the ambiance and a few times it felt as if we were forgotten about by our server. I would definitely recommend asking for a central location for seating when you arrive. Would probably come back for just drinks and appetizers! read more

Ordered 6 tacos for the group, and I'd say half of them we had to just eat the filling because the tortillas were so hard and burnt. Flavors are good, but not amazing. Kind of expensive for what it is. read more

Zombie Taco - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So you're craving tacos, huh? Let me save you the trouble. While the atmosphere of the Moxy Hotel (where Zombie Taco is located) is beautifully designed and a joy to attend, I can't say the same about the taste of the food at Zombie. Average quality at best, while the staff was pleasant and nice, that just isn't enough to earn my taco-loyalty. At about $4 a pop, the only scenario that I could see myself here again, would be: If I were hammered on a bender roaming through River North in search of Taco Bell and ultimately settling on this as I get impatient while my buzz dwindles away. It's been real Scranton. Peace! read more

Zombie Taco is certainly a wannabe velvet taco. A little pricey but a little tasty. The space is awesome though nestled into the new Moxy Hotel. They do have a cool little late night walk up window to entice those stumbling around River North as well. read more

The breakfast tacos were delicious!! Had one of the egg whites & avocado and a chicken chorizo. The tacos were light but enough to keep us full for the morning on our way to the airport. The tacos had a nice little spicy kick to them as well! They were perfectly filled and we were able to pick up the tacos without spilling. It was very convenient to be part of the Moxy. read more

At least the zombie burrito was edible. The tacos were nothing but sauce over a little meat. I never received my fish taco instead a tortilla of sauce with 2 little sausage looking medallions. The bacon taco was the same way- if it's a delivery order and you are using that much sauce- put in on the side. I essentially had 3 tacos of messy sauce and the burrito. 100% waste of money. read more

I visited here last Sunday for the first time. It was around 1pm and I sat at the bar to try out some tacos. I ordered the brisket and bacon jalapeño tacos. The bacon one is a definite must try! It has some pico de gallo on it that is really flavorful and made the taco do tasty. The brisket taco reminded me a bit of pot roast so while I wouldn't get that one again, I'd definitely try one of the other beef tacos. For a drink I tried one of their specialty cocktails that was made with a grapefruit vodka. Again, not my favorite but I'd be willing to try other things on the menu. Service here is impeccable! The bartenders were great and the atmosphere was light and fun and full of music. There was even a live saxophonist playing along with the dj, who was spinning some nice tunes from the 90s! I'd even say you can bring the kids along; there's giant Connect Four, an Uno game, and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots. There's also a cozy couch area that looks like it'll make for great seating with friends. This place is in a hotel lobby but gives you vibes that it's its own restaurant . I'd say stop in and you'll be pleasantly surprised! read more

I'd rather go to Taco Bell. Soggy tacos, tasteless carnitas, and vinegar taste"salsa". Only quality thing is the 24/7 service

I stayed at the Moxy hotel and by default had to try zombie taco. During nice weather the Moxy will have the garage door walls open and it's hard to resist stopping by with the comfy couches inside. Guests can dine inside the hotel lobby or outside at the high top tables. It's a very inviting ambiance with the contemporary decor and people hanging out inside. There's also a fully bar at the hotel if you want a drink. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are different menus depending on what time of day it is. The walk up window outside is open 24/7. We only snacked on chips and the trio dip but it was a good deal and perfect for sharing. If you're staying at the hotel there are other options in the coolers for snacks and drinks. I love the concept of the hotel and taco stand. Perfect for hotel guests and friends to hang out in a relaxed setting. read more

Great food everything freshly made . My favorite is the bacon taco but the brisket is amazing as well .

Be prepared to wait in line for late night. 20 people waiting in line with 25% of those stinking of pot. One guy working the window/register and one very slow guy making the tacos. But, let's get to the food, not cheap. However, for a 2am stop it was pretty good. Not a crazy menu but plenty of good options. Would I go back again? Absolutely! read more

The Korean Beef Taco It was absolutely amazing. Thanks Noelle for the great customer service!!!

I was walking past and noticed this location. I love tacos and couldn't say no to try it out. He service was great! Flavors were amazing and I will definitely go back. It's on the first floor of the hotel with a bunch of games read more

Zombie Taco - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Had to stop here because it's open 24/7. It has a small menu but the food is really good. We had the jalapeño bacon thick cut taco and a bunch of other things. It was great. They have an indoor area because it's a hotel lobby sort of a funky hotel lobby and then they have a nice outdoor seating area with planters. We had our Pomeranians so they sat next to us while we ate. We definitely will be back. read more

Very cool taco place that's open 24/7. The seating area is shared with the hotel. It's very vibrant. We ended up playing some old school board games that were scattered around. We tried three tacos, one burrito, and one crisp. Everything was tasty. I just wanted a snack so we stopped by to try it. I started with one taco and went back another two times because I liked it so much. Service was very good too. I don't expect that at a taco place. read more

I went to the Zombie at 2am, ordered from the out door window. Ate in the car. Let me say that the adobo chicken was flavorful and they dint skimp on the portion. The braised brisket was juicy - had to tuck a napkin over my shirt - and I wanted to lick the tinfoil after it was gone. (I'm not telling that I went back at 0630 and got the thick cut jalapeño 's.... Secret) read more

Zombie Taco - Awesome 24/7 Taco ingenuity! - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Moxy in itself is wonderful and great. Lots of fun board games to play. The atmosphere is nice and the music is upbeat. The food itself was not that great - it was ok. The fact that one could get food that late in the night that was half way decent perhaps gets them some extra points. We had some friends who are vegetarians and the options for them were very limited later in the night. read more

This location just opened recently and it was an experience. The tacos are designed to take your taste buds on a ride. You have your choice of ordering via a server or going to the counter. I tried the Korean cheese steak cheese crisp, thick cut jalapeños bacon, pork cárnicas, braised brisket and charred Korean beef tacos. They were well seasoned freshly prepared. The decor is very eclectic from bean bag chairs, books on the shelves, vinyl records and record player, games that groups can play. Great dj selection of music. read more

AMAZING ! Love that it's open 24/7 and was really quick ! 5/5 Would recommend this to anyone ! Full of flavor and the staff was friendly and nice. Defiantly going back and was not disappointed ! Would leave a picture but couldn't because I ate it all in one bite ! read more

My Daughters and I tried Zombie Taco after seeing it on a "Chicago must try" list on Youtube. I got the BBQ Chicken Taco and I must say it was mediocre at best. The chicken was so dry and tasteless! I also got a $12 Margarita that had to be the worst tasting drink I have ever had. It was so bitter tasting with no zing at all. My oldest daughter was very happy with her Zombie Burrito, but my youngest was not thrilled with the Fish Taco. After spending over $50 dollars on what I would call snacks, I was really disappointed. Sorry Zombie Taco, must have been an off night for you. :( read more

Great hotel, lovely lobby and bar. Tacos were not good though. Tried every kind they had available and just would not recommend. Taquitos were pretty bad as well read more

I had a quick stay at the Moxy, and couldn't leave without trying these delicious little innovative street tacos. It's a friendly little walk up booth, with sit-down service at the bar if you prefer. The Jalapeno bacon taco is good 24/7, which is ideal awesome because they are open 24/7! Since it was breakfast, I couldn't try the Korean BBQ, but the Chorizo avocado with crema was a delightful substitute. It's always a good time for taco, and Zombie Taco is ALWAYS here to curb your craving! read more

I'd been wanting to try zombie taco for quite some time so I decided to order them on Uber eats. Delivery was super quick which was awesome because I'm used to waiting about 45 minutes for my food. I ordered three tacos but I could've gone with two because the tacos are generously stuffed. I ordered the grilled adobo chicken, the brisket and the Baja style fish. Loved the adobo chicken because the chicken was charred perfectly and the char flavor and complemented the lima crema because they offset each other perfectly. Kind of a spicy and cooling thing going on.. The fish was okay, I think it probably would have been more crunchy if I hadn't ordered on Uber eats so I'm going to try that one again when I visit the actual location. But the flavors were delicious and a little sweet which was interesting! Lastly, the brisket was delicious and the taco had a generous amount of deliciously spicy, tender, meat. So glad I finally gave this place a try and definitely looking forward to trying more of the tacos! read more

Very nice tacos, very good customer service and in a lovely hotel. They cut their menu in size for late night food but the Korean Tacos are great and they seem to use much better quality meat than Seoul Taco (and it is much cleaner than Seoul Taco as well) read more

I stayed at the Moxy in October for a few days and didn't want to go out to find food because 1. It was during the marathon and 2. it was very cold outside. I tried almost everything they had because with the exception of going out for my work event, I just stayed inside the hotel. One thing I cannot stop thinking about (because it was sooooooooooooooooooo good) is their tomatillo sauce. I am dying to know the key ingredients so I can try to replicate it and put that sh*t on everything! Whenever I go back to Chicago, I will definitely go out of my way to go to Zombie! read more

Great concept to have a 24/7 taco spot right in River North. I was one of those who took advantage of the 27/4 and came here around 2am. I ordered the carnita tacos, and they were decently sized for its price, and very tasty! Huge bummer was that they didn't have any other options at that time of day since they "ran out". I'll probably come back at a more reasonable time of day with the hopes of trying their other tacos. read more

Came for a late night taco run to zombie taco. I was expecting something ordinary but these tacos were delicious. The meat was tender so was the seasoning. Everything was just right!! I am Mexican so I know about tacos. ZOMBIE TACOS see ya soon!! read more

Came here late night and the tacos were awful. The steak was chewy and barely edible. It was overwhelmed with sauce and fell apart.
