Reviews for Tallboy Taco in Chicago, IL
Great tacos if you are looking for lunch. They have outdoor and indoor dining. The cost is $4-$5 average for a taco. The place... is clean and has a quiet atmosphere. The tacos were little oily but the taste was amazing. The meat was well cooked and thestuff was fresh. I got the pork and beef tacos. Liked the rice on the side but it was completely plain without any beans orlettuce on it. One star less for their impatience customer service. I believe the lady who was doing customer service steppedout for a minute, so a guy stepped in to take the order. He was rushing me so fast to make an order. I was on business trip andvisiting this place and have no clue what to order and there was no queue behind me either. I felt rushed and had to ordersomething quick and felt uncomfortable. Wish I had a better customer service. Other than that, the food quality was amazing andlittle overpriced tacos was okay because of the location. Definitely a great place to stop by ????????????

Amazing freshly made chips and delicious tacos - especially the crunchy fried shrimp! And it’s all gluten free - but if... you’re not GF you’d never know. Highly recommend this place! They also serve spiked hibiscus lemonade, etc if ya want ???? Read more
Mediocre tacos. Not a lot of flavor onions is overpowering. You can only get one sauce hot or mild per entree, as if there was a... sauce shortage. Staff was nice but will not be back. Read more
The staff made the experience enjoyable. They have water on tap. Your choice of spring or sparkling water. It was a pleasure to... them to use cloth napkins but they do have paper. I missed trying h the Fresca. Read more
The tacos and nachos are good! Surprisingly even the rice and beans are good. There’s a lot of flavor and kick to the tacos,... rice and beans, and the nachos. The nacho chips have a great crunch to them and don’t get soggy. The guac and cheese is good.The margarita is good too. I asked for a spicy seasoning on the rim. The decor and atmosphere is really a good vibe. It’s gota very earthy look to it. I am enjoying the music too. It’s a good spot for a quick bite and drink. Read more
My wife and I have found our new favorite street taco place! We've enjoyed every variety of taco we've tried here. Standout... tacos include crispy fish, carne asada, masa-crusted avocado, grilled Baja shrimp, pork al pastor, and the birria short rib. TheTallboy Combo with chips and homemade guacamole round out the meal. Please note that meals are prepared to order and worth thewait! ???? If you find this review helpful, please give it a thumbs up - - Thanks! ???????????????????????????????? Read more
Easy lunch if you’re coming from Northwestern! Everything was tasty and they have REALLY great chips. Loved that you can get... your taco in a lettuce cup if you want a lighter meal (I know, oxymoron because I just talked about the chips). Read more
Food is good, I like their fish tacos and queso. I'd like to try the tuna "ceviche" although it looks more like poke or tartare... - it looks good whatever it is! My issue is the service. I came in today for lunch around 2pm, so past peak lunch orderingtime. I waited in line behind one other person and placed my to go order at 1:58pm. (I know because I considered whether to waita few more minutes for happy hour, also I paid through the LEYE app) I waited for about 20 minutes then asked the person whotook my order about the status. She said I was next even though at least five other people who came in after me were alreadygone. I figured my order got misplaced or something. Whatever, I'm fine, I can wait as long as it's in now. Ten more minutes goby and nothing, although I can see a few takeout bags that have now been placed on the counter at the other side of therestaurant. I eventually walk over, check the names and see one is mine so I take it and leave. I walked out at 2:34pm so Ispent a total of 36 minutes on a takeout order of nachos. (See pic) They had to dump chips in a container, pour on pico andcheese, and put queso & guacamole in containers. For 36 minutes. I'm not usually one to complain (check my reviews!) But thiswas a bit ridiculous. If you're that understaffed hire more help or redo your scheduling, but I can't imagine that the other 5+people who came in after me but got their food before me had less complex orders. Read more
