Taqueria Taco Bueno

I'll make this quick.
The good-
Relatively cheap. Huge portions! Chiles rellenos de picadillo (ground beef) - hard to find outside of Mexican homes.  Other dishes that are not that common at Mexican joints catering to GRINGOS. Such as tacos de chicharrones (pork rinds).  Pozole and menudo on weekends. And no I'm not referring to the latino boys band. Freshly squeezed OJ.

The bad-
Food is good but won't blow you away.  Go here for good but not awesome cheap eats and hard to find stuff (see above).

The ugly-
The restaurant. Yuck. Misspelled marker menu (eg. azada instead of asada)

I'll be back again!

Living in Little Village/Pilsen for over 35 years and been in may Mexican restaurants, we were looking for a quick bite and we saw Taqueria Taco Bueno (had a different name on sing outside, I think it said Tacos Victor or something like that) and decided to come in. When we came in I had doubts about the place, but the menu was impressive large and they have hand made quesadillas and decent prices. The place is like a very local common restaurant, nothing even close to be fancy but it was decent. They have salsas on the tables and pickle jalapeños with carrots. I ordered a huitlacoche quesadilla and my wife 2 tacos one of chicharon and the other al pastor, good size tacos and they add rice and beans in it, the quesadilla came with a small portion of salad and a very delicious rice (like home made). For drinks we had agua de jamaica (not to sweet) and hand made chocolate actually using the hand molinillo. We were surprised when the waitress brought the guacamole and tostadas as appetizer, not the best but decent one; usually you pay extra for it at other restaurants. We loved the food and decent prices (cash only), tacos $2.50, quesadillas $4.50 including the huitlacoche and shrimp that usually are more expensive. The table setup was a little strange, they have a large table in the middle like for 20 people and tables of 4 on the side, I do not think that they can handle large groups without a previous notice. We only comment on the food we had, but definitely coming back to try other dishes.

This place hits the spot!  I went here after hanging out in a frigid sports bar across the street.  I was cold and hungry, and this restaurant really helped me out.  The tortas are a good size, good quality meat, and the price is great.  They are open late, but are cash only (at least after 9pm), so stop by if you're in the neighborhood.
