Tacos Nietos

As a world traveler (I've been to Canada three times and Maine once), I'd have to say that this place has the most authentic tacos I've ever had in my life.  I've been to Big Star.  I've been to Antique Taco, La Pasadita, Taco Joint, etc...  Tacos Nietos is my favorite.  I've been to Tacos Nietos close to ten times.  I have six of their business cards.  I have one in my jacket pocket as I type this.  I've also been to Taco Bell.  My favorite thing at Taco Bell is the Baha Beef Chalupa.  It should be yours, too.  Needless to say, Tacos Nietos is my favorite taco spot in Chicago.  Having said that, I'll go ahead and say this: I went there twice in one day once.  Anthony Bourdain would love this place.  Coincidentally, it's on the same street as Calumet Fisheries.  How'd you miss this place Tony?  Come on.  You're better than that.  Please come back to Chicago and check this place out before Guy Fieri does and ruins it for everybody.  Thanks so much.  Shout out to JR, ER and MR for puttin' me on.  One.

I discovered this place a few months ago. I had driven past a few times and never even noticed the place, but my stepdad told me the place had amazing tacos and took me. I had carne asada tacos, and they instantly became the best steak tacos Ive had around a 50 mile radius (with the exception of the steak tacos in Harry's Long Bar in Blue Island, which are just as good as these). The meat is cooked to perfection, and it is some of the most flavorful, juicy, no nerves beef Ive ever tasted. This is something I cant describe, its something you have to try for yourself. Since then Ive had the following: milanesa torta, (is good), the enchiladas (are ok), the al pastor tacos (are ok) and the chicken flauta dinner, which is delicious because the beans and rice are good, and the flautas are generous and they dont scrimp on toppings, they pile on the sour cream, garnishing cheese and avocado on top. A big plus is that they provide you with lots of pickled carrots n peppers as well as grilled cebollitas or scallions, and the latter is something all other restaurants charge separately for. People think that Pilsen/Little Village area has the best Mexican food in the Chicago area, but thats not true, the only place that can compete, but still dosent come close is El Milagro, which serves up good generous steak tacos.Tacos Nietos is one of my fave spots to eat, it has been consistent every time and the staff is always friendly and accomodating.
