Taqueria Traspasada

Awesome authentic Mexican street food. Had the beef head taco. Awesome!!! Great help works there. Wish I lived in Chicago.

I've passed it a thousand times; yet, was never motivated to stop until this week. I ordered 4 pastor tacos and 4 steak tacos. My order was ready in 5 minutes, and it cost around $35. Cash only spot with an ATM inside. Ambiance was basic taco spot. Service was basic taco spot. Owner is a real OG and an honorable man in my eyes after I seen him take care of some people in need while I was there. He was very humble about it. The pastor taco and salsa roja was my favorite. The pastor was marinated to perfection, not to sweet, and was some of the leanest pastor that I have ever tasted. The salsa verde and salsa roja were delicious. The steak was chopped nicely and was relatively lean as well. These are not artisan tacos or hipster tacos; rather, they are authentically basic Mexican street tacos (I mean this in a positive way) and priced as such. Overall I give this Taqueria 3.5 stars because they are extra mid, slightly above average, not bad, but not particularly great either. Give them a chance and decide for yourself!

Terrific service and great taste. No complaints!The folks behind the counter were extremely nice. I ordered 3 tacos, and in addition to those and a salsa, the gentleman brought out a little soup for me too (that I did not order). I have never in my life had food come out this quickly. The tacos were ready for me as soon as I sat down, pretty much. They were warm and delicious. I got carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor. The chorizo taco was my favorite. Be aware: it's CASH ONLY but there is an ATM inside. The area is small but there are two bars on the side to sit and eat at. No water cups, and no bathrooms. That being said, they were kind enough to fill up my water bottle from the sink. From the outside this place is very unassuming, so I am really glad I came in. The menu is huge - I wouldn't mind coming back to try more.

Super solid, hole in the wall, taco spot. I tried a few of the tacos and my favorite was definitely the al pastor, would definitely try it if you are in the area!

It's Expensive but authentic. Hard to justify $18 for a burrito but it does have quality meat and tastes really good.

Did a quick pick up order this weekend as this place is a neighborhood joint for me. I noticed last time that the burrito was a bit bitter and so this time I got it without onions and it was much much better. Actually, the nachos were probably the best. Shortly growing on me. I think it's a gem in Westown.

Great spot, small taqueria. Pretty straight forward menu, classic taqueria style.Cash only.Good fresh ingredients and friendly service. Two tacos will do you justice for lunch. 3 if you like a larger meal.

Got the enchiladas with chicken. The sauces on the side are great, but the chicken itself was very dry. The refried beans are gray and bland. Not great overall

This is a hidden gem! I am at a loss of words. All I can say is come and see for yourself. Torta - Pastor PHENOMENALTorta - Asada AMAZINGBirria Soup AMAZZZINGGPozole Rojo Soup - INSANE FLAVORBurrito perfectly made, it does not fall apart, just awesome. BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN ENTIRE AMERICA.
