Taco Nano

Solid and super consistent. Been going here since they opened. One of the best tacos in the north shore. Love the fruit drinks to! Glad they expanded w seats outside.

We stopped here on a whim after kayaking at Skokie Lagoons. My review is based on the fact that I'm vegetarian, and unfortunately, there aren't a lot of "flavorful" vegetarian options. There's 1 taco option, aside from a quesadilla and burrito. In the absence of mushrooms in my taco, it was simply some sauteed vegetables. No greens, no cilantro, no cheese, no salsa. How nice it would be if the staff at Taco Nano re-evaluated their vegetarian options to consider a flavorful black bean taco to give a protein option to vegetarians. Cilantro is so common in Mexico, so why not add that?FYI, 5/5 for service and atmosphere.Aside from the food, I wish Taco Nano would consider using reusable bowls for offering their salsa versus disposable single-use plastics. It's disappointing to see all that plastic go into the trash afterwards.

Taco nano is consistent great! It's my to go to taco place on the north shore. Been coming here since they opened. My favorite are the crispy camarones tacos. It's so flavorful and all the ingredients work perfectly together. Not the cheapest tacos, but worth every penny!

Came on a recommendation from my coworker to try tacos. Being from NY, it's been rough trying to find decent mexican food with good flavor. The lady at the front was welcoming and helpful. The menu looked great with a good variety of options. The restaurant was well lit and welcoming. It had a nice ambiance with good spacing. We ordered the chicken taquitos, 6 tacos - pollo gringo, beef barbacoa, pork al pastor, carne asada, sea of cortez and the old el paso, as well as a Horchata. Chicken taquitos - was good. I wish the chicken was a little more moist and had a little more flavor but otherwise good with the 3 sauces they gave us. Out of the tacos, the pollo gringo, beef barbacoa, pork al pastor, and carne asada were a bit flavorless and dry in our opinion. They tasted okay but just seemed bland. Our favorite were the sea of cortez and the old el paso. They had a bit more flavor but was still mainly okay in our opinion. The horchata - was good. Wish it was a little less watery but had a nice cinnamon flavor. Overall, thought it was okay. Food was okay but nothing amazing.

Great authentic food, super cute little outdoor patio with string lights, tucked away with plenty of parking - perfect simple summer spot. We grabbed the nachos, and one taco of each kind - and loved all of them. The Al pastor taco was my favorite. We washed it all down with some beer and a strawberry margarita. You walk in, order at the counter and pay, grab a table number, water and cutlery and go sit. Pretty basic - but really a nice neighborhood joint. Recommend.

Great tacos and margaritas, plus other Mexican food options!!!! Service is outstanding!!!

Had to check out another place in Northfield we heard good things about. It seems like all these are in strip malls, ironic for a pretty fancy suburb. Taco Nano has gotten lots of good reviews, and there's even awards for these on the walls. Lots of good choices for any preference, including margaritas. You can also get you drink on as well as eat on, and there's lots of choices for protein. A very casual place where orders are taken at a counter. It's then brought over. The prices seem kind of high for this kind of thing. High on the drinks especially. It's $10 for a Margarita. These come in pretty tiny cups, so not worth it for these. As for the tacos, there's a lot. We got some of the Vegetariano Al Carbon, the one without any meat. It's $4 each. These had carrots, crispy carrot strings, grilled portobello, red peppers, salpicon de serrano, and zucchini. Good flavor combination. These had texture and weren't all mushy like some vegetarian tacos can get. Good even though it's not authentic. It's more like a place for lunch than it is for anything fancy. The tacos mostly have meat except the one for vegans and vegetarians.

Everything about this place has gone downhill over the past few years. Our last two takeout orders were missing food, and the manager, Pablo, absolutely refuses to replace food or refund money for incomplete orders. It's unbelievable. Poor management has also translated to poor food quality (super greasy ground beef, underwhelming presentation and shrinking portions), and given how sloppy the place is run I cringe when I think about the kitchen. We won't eat here again without a management change, and we can't recommend it to anyone else either. The trend of negative reviews is real. Check out Trendy Taco, La Taquiza or Guanajuato. All much better alternatives than Taco Nano.

Eh this place is kinda mids. I'm surprised it's lasted all these years. Tacos are okay though. Super unauthentic but still good

You'd think that a place that specializes in tacos would have at least a couple decent veggie taco options. Maybe a potato taco, or a fried plantain taco, or a chile relleno taco, or a fancy mushroom taco, or even a fake chorizo or fake chicken taco, or a nopales taco. But instead it's just one option with the "super authentic" combo of zucchini and carrots. Come on people, it's not that hard.
