I was so annoyed that they don't offer cups for water and that my burrito bowl with added vegetable was going to cost me as much as the sushi place across the street until my dish arrived. All I wanted was beans, veggies, and chicken; they delivered in spades. The giant portion of sautéed veggies and boiled shredded chicken was very satisfying and I was happy to learn that they don't add oil to their black beans.You get what you pay for, I'll be back.

The food here is pretty good! You walk up to the front, order from the wall-mounted menu, and wait for your order. I came here and ordered a bunch of food to try:Elotes -- street-style corn. The corn was kind of over-cooked as it was more mushy than crunchyChips and guacamole -- plenty of guacamole. Seasoned well and the perfect crunchy to smooth ratio. Chips could have been more, which usually its the opposite; there's more chips than guacamole, but not in this case. Chips needed some salt.Chicken fajitas -- came out sizzling, as fajitas should be. The order came with ample amount of tortillas and overall, was great. Chicken cooked well, veggies were seasoned well.Fish and shrimp taco (seafood combo) -- I liked the shrimp taco over the fish. The fish was grilledCheetos Burrito -- somewhat gimmicky, but it was your ordinary burrito, with some flaming hot Cheetos in it. The burrito came with shredded lettuce, refried beans, ground beef. Decent sized burrito, but not the football-size burritos that you may find in other placesDining area was decent-sized. It consisted of tables and chairs, as well as a couple of booths. Hot sauce in the self-served fridge if you like it spicy.

This is a very pleasant, clean, little Mexican restaurant that I come to on occasion. I have only eaten the tacos but they have always been really tasty and I've never been disappointed. They have a sister location in Northbrook and the food seems identical. At the Northbrook location, I've eaten more of the menu so I assume this place is the same. Thursday is Taco Thursday (their version of Taco Tuesday) so you get a discount on Thursday. The tacos are served traditional style - oinions and cilantro. If you are in search of a tasty taco, come here!

I've been trying to try different places around the area for lunch when I'm at work and came across this spot. I definitely wanted Mexican food, but wasn't sure what I was going to get. I must have came during one of the high school lunch breaks because it was a little busy. There was a lot to choose from and I decided to get the milanesa de pollo torta and elote. I also ordered an agua fresca jimica, but they ran out and substituted a mango jarritos instead. The food came out quickly. I used the green salsa and hot salsa that was located in the refrigerator. The hot salsa was definitely spicy, but very tasty. I enjoyed the sandwich and am curious to go back to get the bigger sized torta just to try it. The elote came in a cup and tasted exactly how you would expect it to. Overall, the food was filling and the salsas were tasty. If you are going to get an agua fresca, I would advise you to check the fridge to make sure they still have what you are looking for.

La Taquiza is legit! Their food is insanely authentic and delicious. I've loved everything I've ever tried. My favorites are the steak tostadas, steak sopes, and elote! But honestly, you can't go wrong with anything - even their cheese quesadilla! Also, if you're into really spicy, ask for their habanero salsa and put it on everything! Highly highly recommend.

We were in Glenview for some business and it started to get late. We were hungry and saw La Taquiza Y Mas in a shopping center to the north of Palatine/Willow Road. After quickly checking the Yelp reviews, we decided to give it a try.La Taquiza Y Mas has their own spin on traditional Mexican street food. I can't exactly describe it. The flavors are a bit different but quite nice.We each had tacos, beans, rice, and a drink. Between the two of us, we had the following types of tacos: chorizo,carne asada, tinga, pastor, and barbacoa. We also had rice and beans.The tacos were good. The corn tortillas were a little too moist, but they didn't detract from the taste. I wasn't a real fan of the rice. I found it bland and dry. The beans were made very well and tasted great.Even though COVID was still out there, we decided to eat inside - all of the outdoor tables were taken. The staff all wore masks, but not all of the customers. Still, we stayed at a table a bit away from others.I really like Mexican street food and get it often. La Taquiza Y Mas was good but not as good as some of the others we've been to. This doesn't mean they are in any way bad - if we're back in the area we would certainly go again.

A solid option in the area for your Mexican food cravings. I ordered the So-Cal burrito and left happy. The portion size was very nice here and they have various salsas to fit your spice level. A place in the Northbrook area worth checking out.

We've followed the Owner, Eddie, across several restaurants over the years. We were thrilled to follow him to his own place. His hospitality is always top notch and his food is exceptional. Barbacoa, Flautas, tacos, enchiladas en mole, the beans (both pinto and black), veggie enchiladas, everything is wonderful. We've catered several birthday parties and holiday gatherings from La Taquiza y Mas. Excellent food, delicious salsa, in a fun and unassuming location close to home. Definitely worth the trip!

Ordered a chile relleno to go. In cross section, it had only the top half of a poblano chile pepper plus the stem. The bottom half of the pepper was missing, presumably diverted for use in a chile relleno taco or other dish. You've got to be kidding! I've had trouble finding a meat filling for their tacos etc. that is flavorful and moist. The pastor almost gets there, while the carne asada is dry and bland. So losing faith in the chile relleno is probably a death knell for my interest in trying them again.
