Edgewater Tacos

I leave here wishing two things: 1. That it wasn't a 90° day. Great beach weather, but hot fresh tacos not so much! I was hungry, okay? The specifics are unimportant. 2. That the Pico de Gallo was a little less confusing. Well, to be honest, it's not so much confusing as just made in a food processor. Same ingredients going the same place, more a texture thing than anything.The tacos themselves were done simply, but done well. Onion, cilantro, protein. Everything is well balanced and meat is not skimped on. The Chorizo had a pleasant bite/kick to it. The Al Pastor wasn't groundbreaking, but was cooked well, and the bits of pineapple were appreciated. While there was what I assume to be a Jalapeño-based hot sauce on the side, it wasn't enough to make the tacos next-level. It added a little moisture and acid, but what was really needed was fat. A little crema would've worked wonders.Finally, limited seating is available outdoors only, and it seems much more grab and go than anything else. Where it comes to the service, I found it solid and appropriately fast. Also, while I got the flour I would've requested - would have been nice if I was asked.Thus, while I don't see myself giving out awards for best taco, and I do not see it as a destination, it is a fine option for a quick grab and go lunch.

We live around the corner from Edgewater Tacos and finally got around to trying them out. They have a huge variety of food but the menu is organized in a kind of confusing way (also the menu on their website is absolutely illegible). I love how many vegetarian options they have. We got a feast: chips and guac, elote in a cup, a veg burrito for me, and some veg tacos for my partner. The food was ready quickly. We would have loved to eat there, but it was too cold for the cafe chairs on the sidewalk.I enjoyed my burrito, although some of the tortilla was crunchier/thick in unexpected places. I think in how they folded/griddled it? We loved the guac, I'd get a bucket of it next time. I also enjoyed the elote in a cup which is AS ADVERTISED: it's a huge soup takeout cup full of elote! It was far more than I expected, which was a delight and a challenge. My partner thought his tacos were just ok. I'll definitely be back as the optinos are unbeatable!

Best Mexican I've had in Chicago. Carne Asada tacos always fill me up and are loaded with steak. Service is quick, outdoor seating only. Food is well priced and definitely worth the visit.

This place is a couple blocks from where I live and it is so very good. Everything I have tried thus far has been A grade and fantastic. Served neat and prepared fresh everyday. I highly recommend if you like quality Mexican food for a decent price. Perfect takeout for a movie night in or even vibing with the fam/buds. Fish Tacos are FIRE. Chicken Mole Burrito's are scrumptilicious. Also, the owner is an amazing human being that is very friendly. Will be supporting this business for many years to come. Bless and much love.

Quick update!Still loving this little place, years after it opened. Believe the hype, it's that simple. Everything here is DELICIOUS and prepared with love, woman- owned, from family recipes. Love the taco window that opens onto the street. Verily, we are going here TODAY. Saturday was made for TACOS.A gem in beautiful Edgewater Beach. GO HERE!

I have to give it 5 stars because of how quick, fresh and conveinant it was. I came for tacos after laying out at the beach and the cashier was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested things that aligned with what I loved. I ordered the Birria ramen taco combo thing, it was very unique. I would say definitely try it at least once probably in the fall or winter. Warning: It is very greasy. The steak quesadilla is as well as the Horchata. I like that they offered outdoor seating as well. Overall I will definitely be back, but I want to try so many different things on the menu! The ambiance is a covered walk up taco stand with chairs and tables outside.

Taco places are everywhere and are the equivalent of a hamburger. A taco is simple with simple ingredients. In Edgewater one of our favorites is Edgewater Taco craftily hidden on the west side of Broadway.Their menu has everything- and even a spicy Asian soup with Mexican flair. This place has a walk up window with efficient service.If you eat there, you will eat at a few tables outside.

Finally made a visit to this establishment and plan to go back today! Authentic, flavorful and such a wide variety of items on the menu. Their birria and chile relleno meals were a hit! Good beans and rice as well. The individual who took my order was clear, kind, repeated my order to assure he got it down accurately was great. Great joyful energy and all around on top of his game. You can dine outside only, or, take your order home. Either way you won't be disappointed. Give it a try!

Ok. This is totally worth the hype. I've heard they were the best tacos on the north side and they did not disappoint. Go. You're welcome.

Fish Taco and Vegetable Taco were excellent. Service is prompt.Too bad inside sitting isno longer an option.
