I saw this place on Chicago's Best and on a lonely Friday night I decided to try it. Â They're famous for their "Carne en Su Jugo" soup. Â This is a very tasty soup. It's filled with steak, beans, radishes, onions, avacodo slice and other stuff. Â It's a very hearty soup. The broth of the soup is the star of the show. If I just had the broth i'd be good. It also comes with corn tortillas. Â I'm going back to get some more. It was a little pricey though ($9.00), but it was a good sized bowl and filled with goodies. Â I also had a steak taco. Just to try it to make sure they weren't trying to fool me on the steak. It was a good steak taco. Â There was aslo the typical green or red sauce. Â Nothing special about the sauces but the green had a little more flavor and brought out the flavor in the meat more.
The service was great and very friendly and my waiter spoke very good English. Â You know how you go to taco joints and you have to sign and point to the stuff you want. I didn't have to do that here. Â As I was paying my tab at the counter the guy asked me "Did I enjoy the soup, how did it taste?" I thought that was nice of him to actually want feedback.
Yep! I'll be back.
I have not eaten here in a looooong time -looks like it was 2009! However, tonight my husband brought me some "carne en su jugo" -or "meat in its own juice"...it's like a meat laden soup with pinto beans. Then you can add all these fun sides liked chopped onions, jalapenos, radishes, cilantro, dried roasted peppers, avocado and a dozen tortillas. This may be just as good as the pozole I had recently. It was a tasty and filling meal. I really liked it so we will have to find excuses to go to 26th street and pick some up!
Review Source:You have to get the the carne en su jugo, (spelling?)which is essentially beef soup with tones of awesome stuff in it. It's really amazing. I think it was about $9.
They also make great tacos and all the regular Mexican staples you would expect.
If you don't know the neighborhood, I'd advise you to go during lunchtime and not wander off.
CASH ONLY.
Oh yes, I'm addicted to this place
Steak Burritos and Veggie Burritos are amazing and super cheap
I usually do takeouts but I've dined there before and usually is busy but still they're super fast and ready all the time!
I don't recommend this place for 1st date but great place for the hungry guys and kids too
I stumbled on this place at an odd hour of day and it was packed! When I took my first bite, I knew why it was so packed... it was really darn good. I had two steak tacos with rice and beans for $6! Juicy,well seasoned meat and large servings of rice and beans.
Here's a few tips. The line at the register is for people who are ordering to go or paying. Sit down at any table and some will bring you a menu. When you are done go up to the register and tell them your table number - they have your bill. If you need anything while eating, grab one of the several attentive people walking around for help.
I was near pulaski and cermak picking up auto part for my brothers auto repair shop "Madison Discount" in the westside of Chicago. I actually used my "current location" feature of yelp app on my iPhone and searched tacos. Taqueria Los Gallos came out and so i went to try it. I was not so impressed with the dining in area or the bathroom but again what are your true expectations for a taco joint. I ordered steak tacos and the toppings are only cilantro and onions. If your a TBK fan with all the cheese and sour cream, this is not the taco place for you its more authentic here. They also put their special hot sauce spread on the torita but i added some more of the red sauce that i asked on the side. The steak was juicy and not over cooked and i love authentic tacos. they also give you some pickled vegs was ok not great. I found out their open till 4am on Fridays and Saturdays, perfect if your in the neighborhood late. I would of gave them five stars if the place was decorated and cleaned up a bit, but the food was awesome!!!!
Review Source:Love the Carne en su jugo which is what they are known for.
great tacos the burritos are huge and I love that they put rice in it. Â Great desserts and they now have a Panaderia next door that is just as good.
Only negative for me is that they still only accept cash....there is street parking but they also have a small lot across the street that is free.
You come here for Carne en su Jugo. Â That is what they are known for and that's what they do well. Â The dish is basically a soup/stew with diced meat, bits of bacon, and a cornucopia of spices, chilis, radishes, cilantro and onion. Â You basically throw whatever you want in there. Â It's my favorite Carne en su Jugo joint. Â They have some decent tostadas with shrimp and octopus that are decent but I wouldn't go here for that specifically. Â Tacos are decent. Â A small parking lot is across the street and the place is big. Â And when you are done with your meal just go up to the front counter and tell them what table number you were at.
Review Source:every mexican food joint prepares there food differently, this place is best for burritos, huge burritos, i dont like cheese or sour cream, so i replace them with avacado and bacon, OH YEAH its good, all this for about 5 bucks! on the weekends i go for the Menudo, big'ol bowl for five bucks awsome after a night of drinking, dont forget the mexican coka-cola, they also give you a side if veggies onions and cilantro, and chiles arbol, and about a dozen tortillas, FOR FIVE BUCKS, they also have tacos de tripas that are great, i like mine crispy, its a huge spot so ttheres always somewhere to sit, try it you will never go to taco bell again. and sorry but it use too be 24/7 Â but not no more, i think it closes at 12:00 or 1:00 am
