Taqueria Iguala

Came across this quiet joint randomly. It was so quiet the lady was standing by the door. From tve outside it looks um… Not very impressionable.
Once inside very well lit. We had a chicken burrito, fish tacos, steak and al pastor.
It was yummy! Great flavors. Very fresh and delicious. Best part yet, it is cheap! Ate until we are fu and barely $ 20. The pickled peppers are spicy but so good. Will definately be back!

Tasty and nice and fast. We came in and we were the only ones there. We might have visited just before closing. We enjoyed our food and the service.

Great food especially the tacos! The salsa was amazing, the red one was my favorite. Great service, very kind people. Feels like home!

This place is amazing. Have been trying Mexican food everywhere in Chicago for the past 6 weeks. Sometimes 2 meals a day.
Taqueria Iguala is heads, shoulders and torso above everything else I have found so far. I have been dreaming of their smoky hot sauce ever since; it has made every other hot sauce taste bland and empty to me by contrast.
Yes, it feels like a family kitchen. There was a Mexican soccer game on the TV when I was in. The staff were extremely friendly, and gave my kids lollipops at the end of the meal to take with them.
The food was CHEAP, and like I said, by far the best we have had. Just loved it.
One update I would mention that is different to the previous reviews here, is they now accept cards. They have this trendy iPad looking register, I used it, it was a pretty nifty little gadget — so I guess that must be a new thing.

There is a lot more to a restaurant than just food, as we all know. I live near Taqueria Iguala in Pilsen and have been going there loyally throughout my year in the neighborhood. BeBe and her mother are both kind and remember their customers. When I go in there is always a smile once she sees me again and frankly they goes a long way.
Also, to give you the right idea of the ambiance, it feels just like it could be their home kitchen, with homey decorations and vibes abound. Grandchildren play at the booths and are very sweet. There are usually telenovelas on the tv and a counter to sit and order at.
I live for the tacos al pastor here and try are hands down the best ones I have had (better than atotonilco, Los comales, de pasada) with actual true-​to-​tradition al pastor seasoning. They stuff the corn tortillas with al pastor pork, cilantro and onions and serve with a side if hot sauce.
The vegetarian burritos and steak tacos are also good. If possible ask for the orange salsa, it is unique and delicioso. The place is CASH ONLY but there is an ATM next door. Everything is highly affordable.
Highly recommended to anyone and everyone.

Cool little taco spot! I took a friend from visiting from France to the PIlsen area to see a little Chicago culture and decided to try some authentic Mexican food. The place is small and CASH ONLY, and sort of exactly what I expect a little taqueria to be like. The food was really good! I had a steak torta and my friend had multiple kinds of tacos. Very authentic and just a cool little spot. If I’m near Pilsen, I’d go back.

No frills, just delicious tacos! We had the al pastor, chorizo, and asada and all were great, better than other places in pilsen. We will definitely be back — very soon!

Am I really the first to review this tasty little joint?
Wandered in for a late night reward after helping my brother move on down to the neighbourhood. Pleasantly surprised is perhaps not entirely fair as it should come as no surprise that a taqueria in Pilsen would have potential.
Food — We had the basic Carne Asada Taco’s ($ 1.90) nestled in the corn tortilla is an ample amount of steak with onions, cilantro and a togo cup of tomatillo salsa to finish it off. Steak was seasoned well with not to much of the o&c and despite finding a little gristle in one of my 3 taco’s this place still scores 4 stars. I know I will be back when visiting my brother to try the other options.
Service — fast and friendly.
Ambiance — comfortable, well lit, and they have a juke box full of bands I don’t know.

This place is disgusting. The ingredients are not fresh, the meats are dried out and the hoodlums love to hangout in the front because they know the girl who works in there. She doesn’t wash her hands either.
I live across the street and I have gone here a few times and the food has always been pretty bad. I won’t be so lazy anymore. There are plenty of other taco joints on this corridor that I can walk too.
Just walk into this place and you will see just how well kept and clean it is
