It was normal-good. Not as amazing as some other places but still had solid food. We ordered a burrito with everything on it, a torta and a side of elote. The best part was the elote (because everything else was a little dry). Appreciated the staff's friendly faces. Overall, the area was clean but not a place I would ever sit down and eat at. Get it if you need something quick! Otherwise, I think there are much better places in Old Town. - AT

Everything about here was just alright. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. I'm not a huge meat eater, so I got a veggie taco. It would have been a lot better if it had bell peppers & onions on it, but it was mostly just rice. Overall, very dry. I did love the tortillas, they were very fresh. Also loved how quick & convenient this place was.

Super solid taco joint. Looks like the homies / owner runs it. Fast service when you drop in for take out. Fresh ingredients, and it's consistent. It's definitely a week night staple when I'm wanting something fresh but fast. Arguably the best guacamole in Chicago.

I have ordered from Taqueria Express on DoorDash a few times and was consistently very impressed. A, with how quickly the food arrived at my door--they are fast! B, and most importantly, the taste. I've had a lot of authentic carne asada Mexican tacos in my life, and I can comfortably say that Taqueria Express does it right. I really have no complaints, other than that the tacos are on the smaller side. My first time, I had gotten 3, but my good friend who eats here almost daily said that he recommends getting 4. That is what I will be doing from now on.If you're looking for quick, authentic Mexican tacos in Chicago, you won't be disappointed to try them out

A small place for a quick meal or take out. Extremely clean. I had a chorizo taco and the Al pastor. Both excellent. Close to Walter Payton HS.

If I could, I would've gave this place 0 star review.My girlfriend and I got a two 3 taco dinners, and a large horchata to share. For my tacos, I got two carne asada and one al pastor. My girlfriend got two streak and one chorizo. How the heck did this turn out to be $44?! The taco dinner was $15.79 each. The large horchata was close to $5. If I did the math right, it would've cost $37 plus tax. Even the 10% tax still would've been $3.60 more. $36 + $3.60 still would've cost closer to $40. Where did the extra $4 come from? Probably from the hidden surcharge of using card fees or changing the tacos. The cashier who took our order (older light-skinned male) didn't even tell me as he was typing the numbers on the register. At least inform your customers what are extra charges instead of breezing through it. UNREAL.The food...man, I couldn't even tell you. The rice was undercooked, the beans were very watery, the steak was undercooked on the tacos, and the horchata was very sweet. If I would've known it was that sweet, I would've got a Coke. Honestly, for $4 a taco, they're small. I would consider it as a kid's meal taco dinner. The only good thing was the al pastor and chorizo tacos and the tortillas of the tacos. Oh, I forgot to mention, their bathrooms are clean too. The ambiance was somewhat okay. I could tell their eyes were on us while we were eating. Of course, my girlfriend and I were critiquing the food. As a person who enjoys tacos (Pacos Tacos, Atotonilco, Zacatacos), this may have to be on the bottom of the list. Maybe one-up over Taco Bell. Overall, would I come back here again? Most likely not. I wouldn't even recommend this to a friend. In all honesty, this place is overpriced, hence the location is in Gold Coast. Of course, I would have thought it was decent at first based off the reviews, but the residents of Gold Coast would pay overpriced tacos. It's really a good spot, but BE AWARE! What you pay is not what you get. I really should've took my money to Au Cheval down the street and still get the satisfaction of paying $44 and being full. OHH AND AFTER ALL OF THIS, WE WEREN'T EVEN FULL. my girlfriend and I ended up spending $30 at Au Cheval and was completely satisfied.

This place has the best meat! Hardly any fat in their steak! Best burrito I've had in a long time!

We were from out of town. Ate here before heading to a concert. Food was fresh, quick, and plentiful!! Had we known the servings were so big we might have split food. Definitely worth your money. The food was amazing!! We each had something different and everyone said they loved their order. When we're back in Chicago will definitely come back here.
