Reviews for Flaco's Tacos in Chicago, IL
Picked this up myself as was staying nearby. Had the chicken street corn burrito and the Mexican fries. Burrito was dry and... pretty bland , had bits of other (also dry) meat in it and a token hair . Mexican fries were the opposite of crispy and againpretty bland . Read more
There are many Mexican and Taco joints in Chicago land, most of the chains are just mediocre, some are too fancy. If you want... Mexican food the way it is meant to be tasted this is the place to be. Nothing fancy, it is just simple fresh ingredients withperfect flavors. The key to good Mexican cooking is the balance of the flavors and texture, too much of one thing will ruinthe dish. This place does it perfectly. My go to has always been the barbacoa, you can definitely tell the time that was putinto it. My second favorite is the quesadilla, it is not the normal flat slap of tortilla with a bit of cheese and meat, thequesadilla here is almost like pizza slice and they don't hold back on the cheese nor the meat. Everything are at veryreasonable prices. It is a small place, cozy and there are good drinks and frozen margaritas, make sure you try the Horchata aswell when you stop by. Read more
I will 100% recommend this place. I?m Mexican and can tell you that the taste of their tacos was the most authentic I have tried... so far in the States. Their margaritas are just perfect! I?ll come back next time I?m in Chicago ???? Read more
No frills taco joint but really, really good. They have a good variety of tacos & their Bowls are nice too. Their frozen... margaritas are delicious! They always accommodate my subs due to allergies which is so appreciated. Yummy, casual stop! Read more
This place has a very chill vibe, is very affordable and conveniently located, but I've had better tacos at many other places.... The street corn chicken taco and street corn chicken burrito was good, but the fish in my other tacos was not well seasoned, andour rice and beans were overcooked and barely edible. The frozen sangrita was the most enjoyable part of my meal and I'ddefinitely go back just for that! Read more
I ordered the carne asada fries but with Al pastor and it was delicious! The guacamole and veggies were fresh and flavorful,... fries were weee crispy, cheese was melty, and the Al pastor was good 1? chunks that were well seasoned but not not overly so.The beautiful presentation was done but the young lady serving, I didn?t catch her name but I did pay her the compliment beforeI left. The agua Jamaica was delicious and lightly sweet. The young man that took my order was helpful and friendly. Greatexperience! Go through the first set of doors at the top of the stairs and make a right. You can?t go wrong with Flaco?s! Read more
Good food. Tried for the first time and it was very tasty. Get the spicy sauce here it was amazing!!
Just moved here from Atlanta so I will be coming here often. Really great and authentic Mexican food. I had 3 barbacoa tacos.... They were generous in portion size and tastes great. I sat in the window and watched people stroll by. They have great service.Love the Jamaica! Read more
