Taqueria Los Alamos

Since I live nearby, I visited this taqueria a few times. However, I lost interest after trying different items on the menu (e.g. tacos, burgers, tortas). The meat isn’t of the best quality (understandable) though the vegetables are fresh. The tacos are good for satisfying a drunken appetite but beyond that, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Place is small. I come here often for late night tacos or burritos. Good for fast-​Mexican food. They are open until 1am on Weekdays and 4am on Friday and Saturday.

This place is great for fast-​Mexican food. Also for how much it is, the food quality is great!

Spent my Memorial Day roaming around Pilsen exploring and ended up having lunch at Taqueria Los Alamos. They have walk up take out service and if you opt to dine in you’ll have a waiter or waitress bring you a menu and take your order and you head up to the front to pay at the end.
The chips and salsa they brought out were great and they kept them coming. For our meal my boyfriend and I opted to try a variety of things a la carte. I went with the avocado taco and a cheese quesadilla — both were yummy and well done. To boot I could barely finish my meal. My boyfriend was also happy with his meal. This place has standard Mexican fare and the food is done well.
Holding me back from giving this four stars is the ambiance as well as the bathrooms. It could have been a bit cleaner and it was a bit dark and dingy in the eating area.

My dad works here and even if he didn’t i’d still recommend this little joint. It’s small but convenient. The tortas are AMAZING and so are the gorditas.

BEST CHEESE BURGERS IN THE CITY!!! Next to Burger Baron, and Max’s in the loop, Alamos has delicious burgers, hands down top tier burgers.

Food was OK, nothing to write home about (I had steak tacos, and my husband had the steak burrito). It took me FOREVER to get a glass of water and this was after I had indulged in the chips and super hot salsa, but there was only one waitress and it was starting to get somewhat busy. Dining room was nothing fancy but it was clean. I don’t live in the area and wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here, but if I were in the neighborhood I’d go again.

If you’re new here, get the tortas. (Like a sub sandwich with beans and lettuce and avocado and sour cream with your choice of meat) the horchata (rice water) is also very good. Other places make them too watery or sugary. This place is open late sometimes up until 2 am. the salsas are also very good :)

Your double cheese burgers make me feel some type of way…

I used to live right off Cermak and Hoyne, and this place was my go-​to taco place. Right around the corner from me– and it’s on Cermak and Damen, so it’s easy to access by the cermak and damen buses, as well as the 60 bus if you don’t mind walking maybe 3 or 4 blocks.
My absolute favorite tacos that I’ve tried in Pilsen… I used to get the chorizo taco– 2 of them, made with delicious chorizo (I don’t like mine TOO spicy, just a little kick) and always really fresh-​tasting onions and cilantro. I think I’d get two tacos plus a little Jarritos bottle for less than 8 dollars (YO!!!), which is especially good bc authentic tacos often have two tortillas and a lot of meat so you can split them in half (not that I ever considered splitting them with anyone). The older lady who works there is really nice and remembered my order every time I came in– the younger lady is also very nice. They’re fast (you won’t wait more than 5 minutes for your food), and very sweet. I usually wear ties so they probably knew I’m queer and were never even a little rude, which I appreciate. Fave place to go for tacos, period.

Absolutely disgusting. You can taste (and smell) the poor quality meat. I got a burrito suizo and the sauce they put on it was so disgusting I scraped it off and tried to eat my burrito (which was still sub-​par). The sauce was some disgusting watery tomato monstrosity that tasted like it came out of a can

I don’t know how I have not reviewed this place before. I used to live in Pilsen over a year ago and loved this place. Perfect anytime, late night, lunch, dinner, breakfast, it’s all good.
The owner & lady that work there are super nice. The food is awesome and it’s never crazy busy. I live by Midway airport now, but I’ll always go out of my way to stop in here at least once a month if not more for my fill of tacos, tortas, and quesadillas.

I’ve gone there a few times and the chicken burritos were good. I even told my coworkers on Tuesday that my burrito was very fresh.
But today I found plastic pieces in my burrito! Yuck!

Worst tacos i’ve ever had, barely edible. El Pastor and Chorizo meat was worse than aldi quality.

very good value, very solid burritos. especially the avocado. salsa is outstanding, too.
only qualification is the seating area. it’s bright, tables are sometimes a bit dirty, and there’s a loud blaring TV in the middle of it. so, take your food to-​go and you’ll be delighted.

Cheap, fast, and honest food. I live about a minute from TLA and I’ve eaten there more times that I can describe. I always get take-​out. Their Tortas are amazing. I think they have ruined me to all others. When they ask you if you want red or green salsa… Smile and ask for both. No bells and whistles just good fast mexican food.

Pretty solid Pilsen taco joint… I am a fan. Good horchata too.

This place has the best Huevos Rancheros I’ve ever had. I demolished it! So freaking good. For the record, I ordered it without sour cream.
Also, good chips and salsa. And everything is pretty inexpensive. This is now one of my favorite tacquerias. I’m definitely coming back here.

While walking around looking for the Tamale Lady (and failing) we walked into this sleepy spot and grabbed a bite to eat.
The adjective that comes to mind when I think of my burrito here is Juicy. Most burritos in this city leave a pool of grease on the bottom of your plate, this one leave a pool of meat juice. Meat lovers, you know the difference.
The prices are agreeable and standard, the seasoning is on par with a lot of places, but the thing that pulls this place from a three start joint to four is the selection of three salsa. Each is well executed, fresh and compliments the dishes perfectly. If you’re in the hood, you won’t be disappointed that you stopped in.

This is simply the best, cheap Taqueria I’ve ever eaten at. Having lived in Pilsen for a year right across the street I was able to sample the entire menu. I would recommend the chorizo burritos and gorditas.
The establishment is staffed by sweet little women who are friendly to everyone that stops in.
