I work in the area and decided to try it for lunch. I had the steak burrito special which came with rice and beans and a soup of my choice for $8.80. It was good. The rice and beans lacked a little flavor but with some salt and black pepper it perked up. The burrito was filled with sour cream, cilantro and onions...quiet classic and the way I like it. I used a little of the green sauce with each bite and that also added additional flavor. I will defintley return.
Review Source:Someone recommended this place to us when my fiance and I were at a convention in Rosemont. Very glad they did! It's in a little strip mall near a dunkin donuts, and you could almost miss it if you weren't looking for it! I had a gordita and a steak taco. My fiance had 3 different meat tacos. The meat was great , everything was delicious and the price is right. Gotta love free chips and salsa while you wait!
Review Source:This place was surprisingly good. I happened to stop by here because I was coming back into the city from the burbs and was starving! There was no way I would make it back to the city in Friday night rush hour without having dinner. It looks like a "meh" taco place from the outside but the food was outstanding!!! Plus, they serve alcohol -a huge plus (lol). I was impressed that the salad was real greens and not crappy iceberg. I had the lemon tilapia which was OUTSTANDING. My husband ordered the shrimp tacos and a michelada -both which he liked. This was a really cute place. A great find!
Review Source:Ive been coming here for years and i've NEVER been disappointed. I always get the Tacos Locos Signature dish! You can sit inside (not a whole lot of seating) or in the summer they have a cute table and chairs outside. They also have old fashioned coke and pepsi bottles which I think is adorable. I've also come with friends, and tacos locos has been able to customize their orders for them. Complimentary chips and salsa. (The salsa is phenomenal) Thanks Tacos Locos. I'll keep coming back.
Review Source:Was craving some mexican, so I came across Tacos Locos. Its a small joint minutes away from the Rosemont scene. Though its a bit small for large groups, the place is clean and nice. It is relaxing to be in here as the ambience is nice and cozy.
The lunch specials looked great, they had burrito dinner or the taco dinner. Ingredients seemed fresh and delightful. I had ordered the chicken torta; shredded chicken, pinto beans, block of delic. cheese, guac, lettuce, tomatoes on a nice soft bun. The chips and salsa were also tasty, both salsas had a unique kick to them.
This was my 1st trial and it was a success, ill be coming here more often!
Came in for lunch and ordered one chicken taco and one carne asada taco. Â The chicken taco was strange: Â the chicken seemed fine (grilled and shredded) but had some kind of weird relish or sauce. Â I've never tasted anything like this on a taco before. Â I've had tacos all over Pilsen and I'm telling you, this was bizarre. Â Not good. Â The carne asada taco was good and had nicely grilled steak, cheese, cilantro and some nice smoky salsa that seemed very fresh.
The place looked clean and the staff was attentive so while I was disappointed by the strange goo in the chicken taco, I'm not quite ready to write this joint off. Â
My fellow Yelpers, Â I will have to give this place another go...
I've been coming to Tacos Locos for a few years now.I do really enjoy the food here.Service is always top notch.Place is always nice and clean.One of my favorite items on the menu is the frijoles charros.I usually start off with that and then order an entree off the menu.I've never had anything I didnt like.Nice little spot to stop at if you're near the airport.Pretty good value as well.Im sure I'll be back.
Review Source:Decent taco spot, we tried each of their signature "loco" tacos and their steak quesadillas. No compliant a at all regarding flavor, cooking and service...all were solid. My only complaint was their tortillas, too "preservative-y." If they switch to homemade tortillas we'll be on to something here!
Review Source:Fast and yummy, just what I like when i'm starving and in a rush. Â I stumbled upon this place while looking for food near O'Hare. Â I came in and the owner seated us quickly. Â The chips and salsa was a delicious start. Â I ordered veggie quesadillas and the boyfriend ordered a veggie burrito. Â Both were filling and decent in size. Â The place is a little small so unless its a party of 4, I recommend take out. Â I'll come back if i'm around the location.
Review Source:Great chips n salsa (not canned tomato), great tacos, awesome tortas (they almost melt in your mouth)!
I feel the need for...SPACE, way too tiny in here making it difficult to get good & fast service during lunch hour, you may get lost in the crowd and accidentally returned back to the end of the line. Â The waiter sometimes turns into the taco-nazi (Seinfeld).
BRITE IDEA! Knock down the wall between you and the liquor store and make it a BYOB restaurant ;)
It doesn't matter cause I'll be back! (Linda Hamilton has been here, plus other celebs) I love it here!
This tacqueria puts out decent Mex food by Chicago standards. The carne asada was a bit watery and chewy in their signature taco loco, and the al pastor burrito was a bit gloopy with sour cream and not quite seasoned very well, but hey, this is Chicago, not East LA. The city is still evolving when it comes to Mex food, and this place was as good as any non-gourmet Mex place I've been to in these parts. Â I did not try any of the dinner specials yet, but may upgrade the rating up from three stars once I do.
Review Source:Okay not bad! Â Still not like I'm used to in the old 'Hood, but for the area this is pretty darn good Mexican. Â Their signature taco is tasty, their pastor is lightly seasoned with a good adobo, their burritos are generous in size, and the chili rellano tacos are nice fat overstuffed peppers with a kick. Â
The carne asada burrito is a bit random - I have had it when it's been charry and good and when it's been kinda' "lengua" in its consistency and taste. Â The beef burrito isn't anything to write home about. Â
Odd little strip mall location but the inside is adorable - they use the space well. Â It is a bit pricey (about $25 for 2 burritos, 2 tacos and 4 chili rellano tacos... those chilis... Â mmm.) and I haven't yet branched out beyond tacos/burritos but three times offered three consistently good carryout results. Â I am going to man up and tackle some of the tortas next trip.
So we were on our way home out of the city and I randomly got a hankering for some tacos, the first place we found on Yelp was closing up and wouldn't let us order so this was the next closest place and I'm SO glad we came here!
I ordered two steak tacos and an horchata to go and I must say these tacos were amazing! I go to many different taquerias and most places are hit or miss but these tacos were so succulent and the red salsa had plenty of flavor, though not very spicy. They make your food to order and they are very quick. The horchata was very good as well. If I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely stop by!
It's right down the street from the Rosemont Theater so they have pictures on the wall of famous Latin musicians and actors who have stopped by, like Julieta Venegas and Diana Reyes.
My friend is a flight attendant for Virgin America, and on overnight layovers these hard-working folks get put up at the swank Hotel Intercontinental near O'Hare (Sir Richard Branson knows how to treat his crew).
The problem is, unless you want to eat at McCormick and Schmicks, the Capitol Grill or other similarly priced eateries, you're basically screwed out here.
Enter Tacos Locos.
Apparently all the flight attendants know, and love, this place. And with good reason. Good food, nice service, decent prices.
This is small digs. The place is tiny, only a handful of tables, with one waiter working hard to keep up with it all and it looked like one cook in the back. Still, both were gamely crankin', and though you will obviously wait a while for your food, it was worth it overall.
She and I didn't mind the wait since we wanted to catch up chatting, but next time we could always call in an order, as many others seem to do [saw a lot of people coming and going], pick it up and take it back to the hotel for more space to stretch out (again: tiny restaurant = not much elbow room).
We ordered the queso appetizer, which here is the strange stretchy melted Chihuahua cheese, a piece of which you attempt to sever from the whole glob and tuck into a tortilla while grease runs down your arm. I just don't understand how this is supposed to work, but I still haven't mastered it yet. I love cheese in all forms so I will probably keep trying.
Then the tacos. I got three: steak, chicken and chorizo. Once digging out from under MOUNDS of cilantro, I was able to get at them. The steak was least appealing: the meat was chopped fine so it cooked up rather tough, and just wasn't very exciting in flavor.
The chicken was shredded and tasty, but the most memorable and flavorful was the chorizo, with the pleasant stinging zing of peppers, balanced by the crispness of lettuce and onion.
Also, I had the best horchata of my LIFE here. Not too watery, and laden with an abundance of cinnamon.
I'm sure there will be a return visit the next time my friend has a layover. Fine by me: I'm loco for chorizo and horchata! Let's taco it up, O'Hare!
Well I heard the urban legend of this AMAZING tacos place. I finally had time to try it out so I put on my spongebob square pants pjs and mickey mouse hat and coat. Along with my Power ranger velcro shoes KRIS KROSS of course thats the COOL WAY!. I got in my car that has a hole in the roof and balled tires and I hit the road to TACO HEAVEN. The drive took me over 1hr long esp since I drove around the place in circles for 10 mins. Oh well. I Walked in and there it was the Church bells were ringing and the angels were singing. I asked for the BIG BIG BURRITO. (Glad their was a bathroom close by) I Spent 46 mins and 22 secs eating this heaven of food. Then I grabbed my dr seuss green eggs n ham book and did some reading for another 2hrs.
Review Source:Went.here for dinner after work ... This place is 2 min from my.job and.never have I been.inside but I am.glad.I did. The place is.really.really.small but the food.is amazin! Got the taco locos ...steak ...avocado ... Sour cream ...grilled jalepeno ...omg was it great! Â I am.drooling thinking about it now ! A must must try
Review Source:I've had my share of mexican restaurants in my growing up days in L.A. and I've had just about every service imaginable to anyone. Â Good, bad and ugly. Â You name it, I've probably been served multiple times. Â This place lies in a strip mall and easy to find parking, I went there around 7:20 and ordered 1 lengua burrito and 2 linguica tacos ( I had no idea how big the burritos were so I ordered extra tacos just in case. Â And you know what? Â I'm fat, so what. Â F U and your skinny jeans wearing people) Â Anyhow, 5 mins go by, I check in from facebook and yelp, 15 mins go by and I'm starting to wonder if they got my order, 20 mins go by, and the waitress comes and asks if I ordered.... Â "HUH?" Â You took my order! Â 25 mins go by, she comes and tells me they are wrapping my burrito as we speak. Â
  25 mins for a burrito and 2 tacoc?  ULTIMATE FAIL.  I don't think I've ever been to a burrito joint and waited over 25 minutes!  Were they short staffed?  Didn't look like it, they had 3-4 people in the back making food, maybe there were backed up?  Probably not, I've only seen 1 people get served after I ordered and no one came by for a pick up either.
  Anyhow, let's talk about the burrito and tacos shall we?
Burrito - HUGE SIZE, tons of meat, tons of cilantro and onions. Â just delicious. Â Salsa is great tasting also. Â
Tacos - only able to eat one. Â Little bit on the salty side but delicious regardless. Â
  Hopefully I went there on a off night, I would love to try this place out again!  Perhaps a lesson on Lean-6-Sigma might help runs thing little better?
One word... OBSESSED! My hubby and I visit Chicago frequently and often stay out near O'Hare. This is the BEST Mexican food we've ever tasted, and we have tasted a lot of Mexican food! :)
The guacamole is exceptional! The steak tacos are served simply and purely... with onion, cilantro, and lime. Delicioso! My husband regularly eats the chicken burrito dinner and loves it. Did I mention the choice of soup with a lunch or dinner combo? I would recommend the black bean soup! YUM!
We were in town for the long holiday weekend (3 days) and ate here twice. It is wonderful food, great service, fresh ingredients, and the best Mexican food! Make it a point, whether in the city or in the 'burbs, to come here!
Had a fantastic steak burrito here today - one of the best I've ever had.   The place is clean, well decorated, and a great value.   So why only 3 stars?  It was my first time here, and, since it was lunch, there was a line that I queued up for to order at the register.  After I ordered, I was asked, "for here or to go", I said "for here".  After waiting in that line, I was told I couldn't order "for here" at the window, I'd have to sit down and wait for the 1 server working the room to come by.  So it became a to-go order.   Both the server and order taker, were somewhat rude, too.  Kind of in a  "No Coke, Pepsi" way from that SNL skit.  Ate in my car.  Fail.
The kitchen workers work quickly - the food is well seasoned, with plenty of fresh cilantro and onlon (which may be an issue for some - there was a lot, which I liked). Â
Will I go back. Â Damn right I will. Â Â Hopefully service will improve and I can give them the extra star I wanted to.
It would be completely mendacious to say that Tacos Locos is anything but awesome. Yes, it is in a strip mall, and with a name like "Tacos Locos", it's completely natural to be incredulous of it's quality. But do yourself a favor. Ignore any doubt.
Thanks to the people who posted pics of the food, I was immediately sold on the idea of coming here. I've never had such amazing tacos from a place this unassuming. I opted for the name-sake "Tacos Locos", which is skirt style steak, piled with sour cream, guacamole, and a roasted jalapeno pepper (proceed with caution). I also tried a couple of the tacos de al pastor. It's topped with the traditional onions and cilantro, but also comes with slices of horseradish. A nice touch for cooling the burn. Both of these tacos were stupefyingly good. In particular, the "Tacos Locos". That is the absolute must try.
Everything I consumed here was well above average. From the chips and the magnificent salsas, down the the horchata. Seriously, people. This is where it's at. The food is here is straight up BOSS.
Looking at this business from the outside, you may think "hit or miss". Well, I am here to assure you that this place hits like Manny effing Pacquiao.
I come here quite often for lunch and its pretty consistent. Small dining area with only a few tables, there's also tables for outdoor dining. Can place orders for delivery or pick-up. I really like the mini taquitos for an appetizer. They come with about 6 large taquitos and are really enough to fill someone as a meal. The steak tacos are as good as I've had at any local mexican diner. My brother gets the chicken burrito everytime and insists its the best thing on the menu. But I prefer the chorizo and eggs torta. Everything is made fresh right there in front of you, and all orders are fair in portion sizes. Cheap prices as well. They also serve various amounts of imported beer. Nothing over the top but it gets the job done.
Review Source:In a strip mall behind a gas station, this place does not look impressive. But oh, wow is it ever! The sangria is awesome. The best sangria I have ever had in a restaurant. And only 5 something. I ordered the special of the night, fish tacos and they were really good. Had salmon and and another type of fish too. Ask for the pico de gallo. It is free and better than the salsa. I will definitely be back.
Review Source:It's reasonably priced and they give you guacamole with your quesadillas. That alone won me over. Like many others have already said, it's a great alternative to TBK if you live or work in the area. I think the food is tastier, cheaper, and with better portions. My mom and I got two meals a piece on under a $30 carryout bill. The only advantage with TBK is that they are open later, because we all know you can't beat the 2AM atmosphere at the old Taco Burrito King!
Review Source:We were staying at the Embassy Suites hotel just down the street and on a Saturday night we were desperate for food and did not want to wait an hour or longer at a larger, more upscale restaurant. Â By sheer chance, we drove by this place and thought we would give it a try. Â It's located in a small, non discript stip mall.
The food was great, service was fast and we were very pleased with our experience. Â We had the chicken fajitas, chicken tacos and steak carnitas (I think that's what it was) - the portions were ample. Â The chips and salsa were excellent. Â There were 3 of us and our bill came to $30 - includes 3 drinks and a shared dessert.
I thought it was interesting that they had a wall of autographed photos of various celebrities that had visited the restaurant - the only one that stuck out in my mind was the one of Lou Ferrigno as the Incredible Hulk.
Trying to find a mexican restaurant other than TBK, I called on yelp for the help and ended finding a hidden gem. I normally am a steak taco guy but this time also ordered ceviche taco and so glad I did. I can now see why Kim's coworker would buy this every week. It tastes so fresh and delicious. The steak taco aka Taco Loco had something to be worked on. It had some funky sauce and weird aftertaste. Its a small place located in a small strip joint and everyone was friendly as if they knew you. Couldn't find a website but there's a menu on US: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fassets.urbanspoon.com%2Fw%2Fs%2FBK%2FsQ1E6wyf4SadGM.jpg&s=3e3509faf75ba87836c39331d706ec3261c9cd217007f34b9f6b5681c04eeba1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://assets.urbanspoon…</a>
Review Source:Tacos Locos? No crazy tacos here, just tasty taco deliciousness!!! Â Carlos, the owner, will create some of the tastiest taco flavor combinations you've ever had the privilege of stuffing down your gullet, you ugly pelican. Â
The only crazy thing about these tacos is that people still haven't gotten the word that these are indeed some of the best tacos in the region, and by region I mean planet Earth.
For all you space aliens out there lucky enough to get yelp, hop in your freakin' flying saucer and stuff your ugly, big eyed, grayish green faces with some fantastic tacos from Tacos Locos today!!!! Â Do it now, or we'll invade your planet and destroy you. Â I have no idea what the hell I'm talkin' about. Â Gotta take my meds. Â Peace out suckas!
Nice taco place. Â Prices are good.. Chips and salsa are good.. Taco choices are kind of lacking.. I have tried most of the taco offerings.. Got a rajas con crema gordita the last time I was there.. My buddy ordered a burrito.. It was pretty huge..
I will come back because of the proximity to the hotel I usually stay at. Â It's not setting the world on fire but, it gets the job done.. Priced well and the food is good. Â Please note that the keyword in this review is good.
