Delicious! I visited from Tucson AZ and am used to Sonoran style food. This place was awesome. I loved the way the carne asada was so finely chopped and well seasoned. Â I had a taco and a gordita and wanted to try the chicharron and adobada but was too full. I liked the sour cream, and although we use cabbage and not lettuce, it was a god combination. The Agua de Melon could have been a little sweeter but I will definitely eat here again when I am in the area.
Review Source:Do you like tacos, gorditas, burritos, and tortas?! Are you looking for the best of these in the entire city of Chicago?!
Well you're going to need to come out to South Chicago and get yourself ANYTHING from El Guero's food stand! BUT, this spot is cash only. So don't forget that key piece of information.
Their service is quick, the cooks are friendly, and all the food is made as you order it. You can, however, call in to place your order to get your food quicker. If you do this, I'd suggest you eat there because the food doesn't travel too well in the aluminum foil it gets wrapped.
Now, on to the food! The meat is just plain delicious, no matter what you get. Personally, I'm more of a fan of carne asada and theirs stands above the rest that I've tasted throughout the city. They have a decent variety of meat, which is good so you don't get overwhelmed with too many options. You can get carne asada, al pastor, chicken, chorizo and a few others.
To drink, they have your typical canned pop as well as bottles, as well as water. But, if you really want to enjoy your food, you simply cannot skip out on the agauas frescas! I'd suggest the horchata, which in my opinion, goes head to head that of Lalo's. They also have pineapple water and jamaica.
To sum it up, this is absolutely the best Mexican fast food spot in the city.
Hands down, THE BEST tacos and gorditas in South Chicago!
Quick, friendly service. CASH ONLY. Takes orders ahead of time over the phone for minimal waiting.
Delicious homemade salsas to accompany your food and a variety of different kinds of meat (carne asada, al pastor, chicken, chorizo, etc.). You can your tacos with either cilantro and onion or lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, but I recommend getting it with cilantro and onion.
Also, the aguas frescas are THA BOMB DOT COM! Their horchata (rice water) is PERFECTION and the agua de melon is THE antidote for a nasty hangover!
p.s. this place DOES deliver but to businesses ONLY and for a minimum amount $15 in food.
CASH ONLY, people!
GORDITAS!
This is a grocery store that has a little lunch counter. Gorditas are damn good and one ($2.35 each) fills me up. Every once in a while I like to try out my Spanish but lately I've been ordering in English because I'm chicken.
And no, white boy, those red and yellow bottles are not ketchup and mustard.
