Taco Burrito King: Harlem & Montrose

There food is nasty everyone is drunk so they don’t know what they are really eating! Every time I order something from there they screw the order up! The employees are probably drunk to!

Food here may be cooked by mexicans but it sure don’t taste like mexican food. figuring
all the tbk’s are the same i ordered the chicken torta. the one down the street has shreded
chicken with onions. this one had little tasteless cubes of some thing i guess was chicken.
tasted dried out and like shit and thats giving it a compliment.
And the price on them are outragous $ 5.95 avacadoe a buck xtra. well needlesss to say
i won’t be going back to this shit hole anytime soon. for the 30 bucks i spent on 3 tortas
n a tamale i should have gone to pepe’s across the street. better yet there’s a taco joint
down the street on harlem and diversey… it’s REAL mexican food there shoulda went
there in the first place, and its CHEAPER 4 bucks for a torta WITH avacadoe. oh well
live and learn huh. go some place else if you want mexican food this shits like mc donalds
only the name is different.

It’s been years since I last visited this TBK. After the bad service at the Niles location and the gristle beef at the Des Plaines location, I was done with them for a while. But I’m still a sucker for Mexican. I took a chance on this place coming in for lunch since we were in the area.
Good choice. I got a Junior steak burrito and cheese nachos and my usual horchata drink. My son got a chicken burrito and beans. My wife had the vegie burrito. The meal was ready pretty quickly and it was a well-​stuffed burrito in each case. They still do it right, with loaded burritos and generous servings, the way it used to be when I first fell in love with TBK.
The interior of the restaurant was redone since my visit long ago, much nicer on the inside than the overall exterior, which looks rather plain and dull. Our dining booth was spacious. Good to be able to enjoy once again what once was my favorite burrito.

Tbk!!!
I love this place and this location more than the one by belmont!
Late night munchies… check!
Yummy food check!
Can’t wait to come back!

Going to this location was a big mistake. I usually go to the one in the Harlem Irving Plaza mall down the street, or one on Belmont and Central.
I had the flautas dinner, and it was just about inedible. The shells were cooked too hard, the «chicken» was so hard on the ends, and the chicken that was cooked properly was oddly chopped and looked strange.
Usually at other locations, the meat is shredded, and tends to not be cooked so hard.
The refried beans were like soup, and the rice was clumpy. I can’t believe it took nearly a half hour in an empty restaurant to be served crap I couldn’t even eat when I got home.
I would say the food tasted bad, but since it had no flavor, that wouldn’t be accurate.

Quesadilla for my momma!
Flautas for me.
It’s quick it’s fast.
it’s pretty good for mexican street food.
i wish i had more ti say

I’d eaten at one of their locations on Fullerton and had a really good experience so I was excited about grabbing a burrito today. As you can tell from the 2 star rating it was a big disappointment. The man who served me served me with absolutely no sign of friendliness. As for the burrito it was pretty good, but it certainly wasn’t anything to write home about.
I watched them make it and I knew I was in trouble when they took a ladle of sour cream and dumped it over half of the inside of the burrito and the other half didn’t get a drop of it. Yeah, it’s probably a minor thing, but it wouldn’t have been that hard for him to spread it out over the length of the entire burrito especially since it was very runny and looked like it had the consistency of say ranch dressing (it didn’t taste like dressing but had that liquid consistency). It would be nice to taste all of the ingredients in every bite and not just in half of it.
So the bottom line is I don’t see myself stopping in here again. It’s a good thing I’d had a really good experience at their store on Fullerton or todays visit would have turned me off to this chain forever.
