La Taquiza

La Taquiza is a little storefront strip-mall Mexican restaurant that serves amazing food. It is pretty small inside and can get very very busy at lunch hour, partly thanks to being just down the street from the high school, so I try to pop in there just before it gets slammed. And it gets slammed because the food is amazing!!I tend to stick with the tacos and burritos which they have on special during the week - Taco Tuesday and the Friday special which is a mini-burrito with rice and beans for $6 out the door. My favorite is the chicken tinga for the tacos and burritos and it has a nice kick. Add some of the salsa to make it even hotter if you want to. Their rice and beans are also excellent. They have quesadillas that are tasty too, but I'll always go for a taco or burrito if given the choice. The steak is also good as well.Check this place out and you will be back soon.

I used to love this place so much, but the last couple visits have been underwhelming. Mainly, I knocked down the stars because- the chicken was bland. I prefer the grilled chicken flavor at Chipotle. - the meat was a bit lacking in the torta. - customer service and friendliness wasn't there, as it has been in the past. Plentiful paper towels on each table, and one small unisex bathroom in the back. Also 10% off with Yelp check in.

Just a quick update. I haven't tried every taco joint in this area because I am completely satisfied with this joint. You know the saying 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' well, I've been here many times over the years and every time it's great, so I have a hard time going to other joints for a fear of disappointment. They do serve Tostada's here which some Mexican restaurants do not. For me it's just another reason to come here. Friendly, fast, good value and really good!

La Taquiza taqueria is a good place to get tasty tacos. On my recent visit there I took advantage of their taco Tuesday special. On Tuesdays, they have tacos for $1.50 and it's a really good deal. You get regular-size tacos with generous portions of the filling of your choice. I ordered their:1) Asada - grilled skirt steak2) Bomba - Pork, Ham, Chorizo, Pineapple and salsa3) Tinga - shredded chicken with chipotle sauce4) Chorizo y papas - Chorizo and potatoes TacosThey tasted good and the best in the bunch was the Bomba taco followed by the Tinga one. The only thing I didn't do right was not eat them right away. I had done a carry-out for dinner. So, I ate the tacos at a later time in the day which wasn't as fun as eating them fresh. But all that aside, I enjoyed my meal. The Taco Tuesday special is definitely worth it. They also have other specials during the other days of the week. I would recommend checking out this taqueria for its delicious menu variety and tasty tacos.

Did a quick take out here for the Santana concert at Ravinia. I figured what better way to celebrate and enjoy than with tacos y Santana! I was able to place an order online for pickup. The restaurant is located in downtown Winnetka in a building shared with other businesses. If you don't pay attention, you could also easily pass it up. When I arrived, my order was ready and packaged nicely for transport to Ravinia. The entire time we set up our area, the smell of tacos just permeated from the bag so needless to say, we didn't wait too long before giving in and eating everything. I got the Birria tacos with a side of rice and it was delicious. The consumme even had chunks of meat inside it that I ended up scooping over my side of rice. My brother got the steak tacos and he inhaled it! I had no idea what to expect with this spot but it was on the way so we took a chance and it was worth it! Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

Good flavor and polite staff, but I noticed during our meal that there were open uncovered containers of meat just sitting out. We ate there for half an hour or more and they still did not cover them. We came to try this place out while finishing a Costco run. My friend got a huge burrito and the chicken tamales - they do not offer pork option. I got three tacos and they were big so I couldn't finish them all. Overall flavor was really good, authentic Mexican flavor. They also have Mexican coke and horchata and tamarind juice so they have a wide selection of drinks. Overall good place in Northbrook if you're looking for tacos, I would recommend!

La Taquiza just gets better and the Northbrook location is the best! Entire staff is friendly, prices are reasonable, and the tacos are incredible! I go out of my way to eat here whenever I can!

Johnny from NCT 127 said they have the best tacos. Carne Asada with salsa verde and lime. Exact sound to describe the tacos: mmmm

My coworkers and I discovered this place and we love it! Everything here is super delicious from their tacos, tortas, to their elote in a cup. I especially love their tortilla soup when it's in season!

The service is very orthodox and kinda not service at all. You order at the front then sit down. When the food is ready you go to the front again and pick up your food. No one person gives you service here. The owner is confused about owning a restaurant..... but okay. Someone should post self service here in big bold letters. Food tastes okay; portions were decent. I'm giving this place 2 stars because of the portions. Oh yeah I got up to get the salsa located in the front of the restaurant in a refrigerator. She told me go ahead it's in there in Spanish. Haha funnyOne more thing we are no longer in Covid pandemic!!!!!
