Reviews for Carmela's Taqueria in Chicago, IL
Tacos and torta al pastor were spot on. I mean they have it spinning on a spit. Great flavor and fast. Price was good too.... Seating is limited as it's a very small place. Would definitely go again and recommend. Read more
Ordered tortas for lunch tortas didnt have beans and they didnt spread the Crema it looked like the just throw it in there it... was very dry! And the tacos de al pastor horrible it was still uncooked you could taste it. Agua de horachata no saber thatslike water. Do not recommend Read more
Came here to try since we always see so many people come in. The 2 taco with rice and bean special is definitely a deal if you... order Lengua (tongue) since a single lengua taco is $5.25. But the rice and beans were HORRIBLE. Rice was dry and basically"crispy" due to being so old. The beans has a sour taste to it so it was also probably spoiled from being out too long (warmingin the container). The carne asada taco was decent but a little too salty for my liking. The lengua taco was pretty good. Thesteamed beef taco was also a bit too salty. The al pastor was decent, it is marinated well and has bits of pineapple in it. Wealso ordered the Horchata, definitely not the best tasting one, it was very bland and has a bad after taste. Overall, If youare craving tacos, I would recommend Lindo Guadalajara or Taqueria Uptown down the street. Read more
A hidden gem in Uptown! If you?re looking for cheap, filling meal, this is it. They have a simple menu but do it well. Al... Pastor tacos were full of flavor, tender on top of a warm corn tortilla. I got a plate with beans and rice but burritos seem tothe popular here. Both salsas were at a great spice level. Order came out in less than 10 minutes. Cashier was careful to washhis hands when transitioning between taking ordered and putting together food. Can?t say anything bad about this place, will bestopping by often! Read more
Tacos were amazing, very well seasoned, would definitely recommend and come again! Definitely try the jalapeños too, very... flavorful and a nice kick. Read more
This hole in the wall is incredible. Firstly the food is delicious for a good price. Burritos were filling and costed me 7.50.... The pork pastor meat is great. They don't fill the burrito up with rice as filler. Instead they fill it with quality meat andcheese and tomatoes etc. The hot is really spicy, so be warned. The eating space is fairly clean. Next time I want to come andtry the full chicken. Next time you're sick of chipotle come here for a good burrito, quesdidilla, or taco. Read more
Tacos were great. Small restaurant with very limited seating, but the food and service was great. Definitely a hole in the wall... spot. The Al Pastor is excellent and very flavorful. The carne asada was also great. Prices are fair; a little pricier comparedto other taco spots I've been to. Parking is limited. Street parking is available. I would recommend this spot for a quick biteto eat. Read more
