I love Taco Joint! The rojo guacamole, barbacoa and al pastor tacos are my favorites. If you want more the agua frescas and donuts are also delicious. Absolute best? Not sure about that, but damn good
Bitches Who BrunchNovember 2, 2016Everything we tried at this brunch was delicious, and for a brand new brunch of 2016, this is a top-contender to make our Best Bites of 2016. Bravo, Taco Joint! Read more
The Cochinita, Tinga, and Al Pastor are all superb!! The Barbacoa is not a bad choice either! Also the chips are an interesting twist on the traditional. Love this place so much!!
CarolApril 7, 2015Amazing margaritas! Try the Baja taco (it's very spicy), barbacoa taco & al pastor taco! You can't go wrong
BigTab R.N.January 8, 2017They don't allow modifications for menu items, so whatever you're ordering will have exactly what's listed on the menu. I did get cheese after asking; just know they bring it on the side.
Katie WatersDecember 23, 2015Great for groups! Delicious margaritas that will get a buzz going and a yummy variety of tacos. Subscribe to their email list too!
Allison KaminskiJanuary 8, 2016Great for large groups! Call ahead. Gotta love the Margs and tacos. I've tried them all and can't name my favorite since they are all tasty
Josh SciannaDecember 25, 2017Our holiday party entailed bottomless tacos, chips/guac, and margs for 2 hours. Staff was accommodating, I recommend the fish tacos!
Gauri SharmaAugust 9, 2014The Cochinita taco is spicy..but totally worth it. Try it...if you're there on a Monday, get the fried avocado taco
Lauren KellySeptember 13, 2016Al pastor and rajas are my favorite tacos. Also can never pass up queso fundido. Great sangria and margs too.
Amanda WhitneyAugust 21, 2016Taco joint salad and subbing grilled chicken for al pastor chicken is to die for. Favorite salad in city.
Nick BrennanFebruary 24, 2014This place is a hidden gem. The tacos are amazing and they do some fantastic party packages if you have at least 10 people.
Denise WilkersonOctober 29, 2014I liked my Torta Yucatan very much and I live that there are taro and plantain chips in with the tortilla chips.
Mahesh Paolini-SubramanyaSeptember 15, 2014Tacos!Real, honest-to-god, handmade tortilla based, yummilicuous tacos!They're #WhatsForLunch
Sean BeachAugust 7, 2014Love the tacos, affordable, fun margarita blends. A must stop on my visits to Chicago!
Lukas CarvajalApril 10, 2017Tacos are kind of small, I think there are a lot of other places that are better. Cool place to hang out though.
The Baja and the Cocinita tacos are what make us come back all the time.
Great food and service. Lomo, camaron, tinga, and come on Tuesday for Arabe!!
Cochinita pibil is very authentic, Panela taco excellent
Dayna MendozaMay 16, 2014Bring ear plugs. OMG it's loud. The food is good, service was fine. The Taco Joint Margarita is awful. Stay away. Guacamole is very good.
Missy ClarinAugust 31, 2015The drinks are for sure tasty, but the food isn't anything to write home about.
Teresa DiazJune 22, 2013It was BAD! Bad food water down drinks and they didn't even have allot of the stuff that was on the menu:(. Not good at all!

"La Pasaditas on Ashland are just ok compared to these delicious Carne Asada tacos here. Be sure to try both salsas and get a Chile Relleno taco. Que Rico!"
Desiree Kettler - 8.7
"Tortillas, cilantro, minced onions, limes, pico de gallo, and the best carnitas in the city. You can order the deep-fried beef brain tacos, which taste like a savory eggy custard in a fried crust."
