Taqueria Mazamitla

First off it's BYOB! Street parking is tricky and you can't park next door at the 7/11 parking lot unless you want to get booted. Now that is out of the way.Authentic Mexican food at a great price. Quick service! The restaurant is small and always packed but oh my goodness the food is really good! Try the ribeye and onions the meat is so tender and the rice and beans are bomb. Just go and thank me later.

Mazamitla is a town in Mexico found in the state of Jalisco. The decor in the restaurant gives a homely impression of their home. Caricatures on the chairs and art on walls and ceiling. The restaurant offers ten tables with super comfy, boxy chairs. Service is mainly via the counter. Staffing is tight so if you dine in, expect a wait.I visited for the first time on Good Friday. At about Noonish the dine in was popping off. Some celebrated with a case of Modelo and plenty of eats. Others enjoying lunch. I ordered a three taco platter to go. Wide choice of proteins available. So I ordered the al pastor, lengua and birria (goat). Per photos I had an idea of how the food looked and was a little fearful. This establishment cooks proteins too well done. Most taquerias might up charge with birria but they don't. That's because it's barely birria, as they do not offer any consomme for dipping.Rice and beans hit. Al pastor isn't trompo style nor did it contain any pineapple.Food was alright.

New favorite north side taqueria!! Rest tacqueria on Belmont, about 3-4 blocks west of the blue line. This place is the real deal. I went with two chili relleno tacos on flour tortillas. I went with flour because the chilli rellenos are large and stuffed with chihuahua cheese. . The carne asada tacos was also very good. Definitely want to go back and try the chilaquiles. Even the chips and salsa they bring to the table are solid. You can tell they use fried chilis to make the salsa and it's not watery at all. Just a great all around place.

Tricky to get to but worth the effort! Their salsas are very good and their quesabirria tacos may be the best ones I've ever had. Super flavorful and tender. Didn't even really need the consume, which was fantastic too!

Your perfect late night taco spot. The portions are always generous and the steak meat is very tender. Plus my orders still HOT by the time I pick it up and take it home.

Super solid place for tacos and my favorite place to get tripas tacos! Their other tacos like the Al pastor are good as well but my favs are definitely the tripas :)

No shortage of GOOD Mexican food around Chicago but this place is consistently one of my favorites. Service is no nonsense, just check in at the front counter and kind of sit wherever. Food comes up REAL fast. Prices are quite reasonable. Good free chips included. And of course the food is solid. The tacos and platters I've really liked. Didn't love the burrito the time I got that, kind of bland and hardly any beans, but the been 5 other times have been really solid and I will continue to return.

New favorite taco place. The meat is marinated perfectly and the quality of it is above average. To go order was quick and efficient and the staff was friendly.

It has been a while.But what I remembered are1. Very cheap tacos2. Rice taste very special. They must have put some special seasoning in it3. Fish in the fish tacos are super fresh.

La comida esta bien, pero la actitud de la mesera en realidad me dejo con ganas de darle 0 stars.Ordene mi comida para llevar y no tenía mi orden. Pero la forma que me contestó no me gusto. Le dije que no era la forma de atender a los clientes. Y me dijo que no le importaba. Pero anda siempre de malas. Cambien lo más pronto ese tipo de meseras.
