Tacos Tequilas

My father some how heard about this place and wanted to come here for his birthday to try it out. It was Tuesday night and we were a party of seven. When we arrived there was only four tables being served. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived. After being seated it took 5 minutes before someone poured our water and another 5 before a server presented himself to ask us for drinks. After 5 minutes waiting on drinks we never saw our server until 15 minutes after when we waved him down. There was no sense of urgency to rush to tables. These servers were the slowest servers I had ever seen. We decided to order everything at once because we were really hungry and we knew that it would take forever again to wave down our server.
Our appetizers arrived we ordered the civiche and the queso fundido, both mediocre. Of course our server forgot our tortillas for the fundido. This place doesn’t even offer complimentary chips and salsa (they should since the service is so bad). The tortillas we received were cold and stale around the edge.
Our food came out and some of the tacos were good like the nopales ones but the steak was terrible. It was dry and over seasoned with black pepper. Rice and beans were mediocre, I can cook better. Our server just dropped off our food. Forgot to bring us salsa for our tacos. I asked for salt and never got it.
Once our check arrived we noticed that there was 20% gratuity tip on there. That’s there policy 6 or more a 20% gratuity is included. Wtf? After that terrible service my family and I were angry. If you want to force a 20% gratuity I suggest work on the service more.
We will never come back here again. This was just a terrible experience. This place needs better management, better service, and better food. Not worth your money people. You have been warned.

The place is really small, the service is not that good. The food was good and hot …

Overrated! We bought the groupon and were cheated, groupon said 20 value for margaritas but server would only honor $ 7 house margaritas with the groupon. This place is tiny and the server was still inattentive and served us the wrong food. We ordered steak, fish, and chicken tacos which were all served to us cold. Steak was dry, fish was fishy, and chicken was the only decent one. Overall I would not recommend this place or ever go back.

The place is cute and the service was really good. I like the ambiance and décor. I came here because I had a Groupon and wanted to try a new spot.
Their margaritas were good; I had the classic margarita and it was good. The tacos were good, but not the best tacos I’ve had. I had the chicken tinga, choriqueso, and the cochinita tacos (based on reviews I read). They were okay, but just didn’t really do it for me. The chicken tinga was probably my favorite because it tasted the most fresh. The choriqueso was a little bland. I also had the Guacamole as an appetizer and that was good, especially when you mixed their house salsa (which was really fresh) with the guac.
I think this place is good if you have a Groupon, but I wouldn’t return and pay full price to eat here. I think that Chicago has better tacos options.

This place is so over-​rated, too pricey for the quality of food. My food was cold when it came out. They downgraded the value of my drinks I purchased on Groupon. It’s just a new place the ratchets are gonna show up because of the hype. I definitely wouldn’t go back.

Thank You Groupon !
My boyfriend and I have been here many times thanks to groupon. Service is always prompt and friendly. Guacamole and tamales always fresh and the tacos are delicious .A margarita and a half had gave my boyfriend and I a nice buzz :)
Loove the wall décor filled with Mexican actors/​artists and Mexican Loteria cards.

Me and a friend decided to try this place after I saw it on Facebook. The place is small and no real waiting area, but the wait was well worth it. The chicken tamales were good and very tasty. The steak tacos were delicious with my strawberry margarita. Jorge was very pleasant and served us with a smile. Thank you and see you again.

LOVED IT!!! It’s a cute small place. The décor was very original. Cochinita pibil taco was delicious. The empanadas were to awesome. Highly recommend this place.

Todo fue excelente la comida y el servicio nos gustó mucho esposa y ami creo que vamos a regresar muy pronto,

I had a bad experience with this place unfortunately. My order was take out and I was surprised that the food was not great. I had the steak, al pastor, tinga de pollo, choriqueso tacos with a side a guacamole.
First off I live about two blocks away so it probably took me like 5 mins to get home after I picked up. The tacos were cold! The tortillas were not fully heated and they were hard to chew. I had to heat the tacos up to soften the tortilla.
The chips that came with the guacamole were stale. Not much taste to it.
The steak was prolly one of the worst I’ve ever ate. The meat seem like it was ground beef. Terrible. The tinga de pollo taco was way to soggy and no tastiness to it. Al pastor taco was pretty good though. The better taco from all of them was the choriqueso, it tasted better and had a good kick to the chorizo, unfortunate again cold tortilla.
Maybe I would have had a better experience if I had dine in. I didn’t taste the drinks which I might go back just to drink a couple of margaritas! Not for the food!

I spent several years living in San Antonio, so it’s safe to say that my standard for tacos is very, very high. Of all the joints I’ve scrubbed looking to replicate the perfect taco experience in Chicago, Tacos Tequilas is the best — and that’s awfully convenient, because it’s just a few blocks from my apartment. It’s a nicely atmospheric joint with a terrific tequila bar, but the food is the real star, with inventive and tasty tacos; the choriqueso and the conchinita pibil are my favorites, but there’s not a dud in the bunch. And unlike some big, starry taco places, you don’t have to wait three hours and endure bad service for your troubles. This one’s a favorite.

In a solid strategic move I decided to waltz about Chicago looking for a place to live on the coldest day of the f***** year. So when both my phone and I had a mental breakdown on a bus and neither of us could function any longer I stumbled into tacos tequilas looking for a savior. I found him in the owner of this blessed blessed place and whoever makes their mole. I had choriqueso and mole tacos, an eyeful of shakira and Marc Anthony music vids (nothing more healing to the soul) and delightful conversation. I don’t know what more you’re looking for but just stop and go to tacos tequilas instead. Thanks for saving my life TT miss u already see u soon

I came here on a whim while visiting a good friend in Logan Squre. We popped into here and were absolutely blown away by the tacos. On my first visit, I had the Papa y Epazote tacos (fried mashed potato tacos), and the Nopales tacos (sautéed cactus), which I’d never seen before at a regular taqueria. They were incredible! Perfectly fried, no burning or charring, like I see at other places.
Since then, I’ve been back a handful of times, and the food speaks for itself. It’s a little bit more expensive than other nearby taquerias, but it’s worth it once you try the Cochinita Pibil tacos or torta.
I’ll admit the décor is a little strange. It’s got some mythos involving two Luchadors named El Santo and The Blue Devil that I failed to ask about, but perhaps I will next time.

The only reason this place doesn’t get 5 stars because it’s pricey and there are no combos the burritos and tacos which forces you to spend more money I know the trick its good food though don’t get me wrong but be prepared it’s a little irritating when you know the menu setup to spend more

Really nice place, first time we come, the food is just amazing, so tasty and delicious.

This spot right here. Wicker Park has extravagant tacos dressed up for the trendy at pumped up prices. In Avondale, Tacos Tequilas do the fine dining thing, but without pretension. The drinks are well made without being silly. The menu is beyond the typical taco spot, with a street food section. Maybe I miss stuff on standard taco spot menus, but there seem to be a wider variety of proteins in the tacos as well, and definitely some more dramatically different flavors — they aren’t just switching out the meat.
So yeah, it’s not Etsy Taco, it’s not your average neighborhood spot either. It’s better.

Pretty average Mexican food. Not sure what the hoopla is about. Staff was friendly, and service was quick. I didn’t sample any of their cocktails, but frankly after getting the food I didn’t want to. The pollo mole was tasty but I’ve had much better mile before also. Tacos were small but not too expensive. Guacamole was bland. Add hot sauce if you get it.

Visually pleased, Tummy full and satisfied, and my wallet isn’t hurting… Don’t hesitate, just come !!!

the two stars is for their drinks. they make a good mojito. And the lighting and how it looks is nice. But thats about it.
The last time I went there was with my two roommates. The chief didn’t cook his tamale or corn thing all the way. the other roommate I was with, said he got food poisoning and thats why he vomited in the bathroom the time we where last there! I only ordered rice, so I was fine.
I would go to this place but the only two people I had to go with it, don’t like it. the twins are very cute but my roommate said one of them was rude to him on grindr.
oh well
I guess I’ll have to go to these new hipster bars invading Avondale, to get my mojito!

tacos ricos
ambiente chido
selecciones autenticas

First time trying out this place. The venue is nice and service is attentive and friendly. I’m definitely coming back again.
The food is definitely authentic mexican food. For appetizers we had the empanadas, tamales, and the ceviche mixto it was exquisite. For entrees we had tilapia poblano, enchiladas, tacos and steak dinner it was well presented and delicious.

You will need a lot of tequila to endure these tacos.
Suckered in by a groupon, I got a deal that included an app and 6 tacos for an insanely cheap price I forget now. From Unilocal reviews when I purchased said groupon 6 months ago, I learned this place was byob. Not anymore. Server gave me the evil eye when I brought my 6 pack and I had to put it back in the car.
We get free chips and salsa that require a lot of salt. Then we order margarita, guac, which were small and pricey portions also requiring salt. Hub gets pibil, arrachera and choriqueso tacos. He said everything was disappointing except for choriqueso which blew his mind. I had the rajas and fish tacos that were bland as balls, while the potato taco was amazeballs. The tally: 2 out of 8 things ordered were worthy of consumption. There was only 1 cook and the server seemed a bit overwhelmed.
For mostly bland chips and tacos, tiny and overpriced guac and margs and ESP no byob to compensate, I would not pay regular price here. BRB, gonna need tequila to forget this lame place. 2.5.
