Taco Joe's

Tacos...delivered, you say?  Yep, once upon a time I did *quite* a bit of business with Taco Joe's. They were mad quick... I didn't have to get out of my jammies; We had a good thing going.
Fast forward to ridiculous increase in prices, repeatedly getting my order wrong, incorporation of fatty meat, and a big ole' piece of unapologetic Brillo in my burrito; Even pajama clad, I had to put my foot down.

Sadly, this fare has grown foul with gristle. Portions are less than generous and the management is utterly joyless. Every little thing co$ts extra; It's always a turn off when a place starts to nickel and dime ya. Pass them up and head East down 111th 'til ya hit Western and head for Blue Island. (Shout out to "La Finka".) There you can still find tasty, Mexican munchies for less dough and without the hassle. Joe, you gots to go. No me gusta!

Taco Joe is a pretty good restaurant. I think it actually deserves 3 & 1/2  stars, but since I can't do that I went with 3.

I mostly only order their steak choices. The steak here has a really good flavor. Delicious steak tacos are my favorite order. The corn tortillas are very tasty. I am also a fan of the chicken tacos. Burritos here are smallish compared to most other places, but they are pretty good despite their size. Taco Joe has authentic homemade tamales, which is great because many Mexican restaurants don't. These are definitely worth trying. Their tortas are good from what I remember, haven't had one in a while now, though. Nachos here are mediocre, not much meat and only beans and cheese with sour cream on the side. I would pass on these.

They have a large dining area, so eating in is never an issue. But don't expect to have a server, you just order and the counter and wait for them to call your order out and pick it up. They offer free chips and salsa when you dine in, as all taco joints should. I really like their tortilla chips and the salsa is pretty good.

Taco Joe is a bit on the pricier side, but it's nothing outrageous.

For take out, just call ahead and your order will be ready in ten minutes.

This place is just bad.  I think the only thing that keeps them open is that they delivery.  We ordered a variety of food from burritos to tacos and tortas.  Everything tasted the same, just bad..
