TTS Tacos & Tequilas

Exceptional kitchen. Go shrimp ceviche. Go pozole. Feed your soul. Friendly service and a nice dining room. Also outside seating in warmer weather.

I appreciated this "new" to me local place on Chicago Ave. It's good to have a nice, friendly, family kind of option nearby. I'd say the service was the best part of our experience. Really nice waitress that was so accommodating and flexible with us. We had to customize some stuff as vegetarians and so that was important for us.So first, we for the nachos. It's a big bowl of nachos for sure. I don't really like the kind of chips they use. They're like double layer and kind of oily. I think for next time I'd ask for more cheese and more beans. Since we didn't want any meat on the nachos, the kitchen just added a few grilled veggies onto the dish for us. We didn't really want that, but it was too late. They added roasted red peppers, mushrooms, green peppers, and all. The rest was good, but I know how to order better for next time.So veggie means grilled veggies at tts. You can do a burrito that way or tacos as well. We didn't get either of those on this visit, but I had asked about it.The other thing we got was enchiladas. They had chicken enchiladas on the menu, but they accommodated doing them as cheese. I used red and green sauces both. I think they added a 4th enchilada for us, because we paid the same price and didn't get the chicken. Nice gesture. We had 2 red and 2 green. I'm a red sauce enchilada guy, but tts has better green sauce ones. Again, ordering for next time.I ordered a diet coke and that comes in a can, so good to know for reference. Lastly, you do get complementary chips and salsa, which both red and green sauces were great.Will be back and looking to customize next time.

Came to this place after having a gift certificate. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Friday evening. I believe they were set to close at 8pm but they never rushed us. In fact they added another dinner party at 7:50 and allowed another couple to sit at bar for a few shots. For appetizers we ordered queso fundido with tortillas (4). We asked for a mix of corn and flour. The appetizer was delicious. For dinner, my husband ordered the California Beef Burrito. I ordered the Queso Birria tacos. The food was flavourful and served in decent time. We enjoyed our food and drinks. For drinks, I had the frozen mango Margarita. My husband had the mezcal drink. Overall this restaurant was bright, friendly and tasty. I would definitely come back to try the jicama shrimp tacos.

Flanked by multiple good Mexican-ish options on both sides, this location really set a high bar for itself. And I'm fortunate to say they definitely exceeded it, from their spicy salsas, nearly flawless mole, and tacos that look as good as they taste. The standout here is the jicama taco, we had it outdoors on a 90 degree day and it's the definition of refreshing - a low carb shrimp ceviche trio on a thin-sliced jicama tortilla. Chicken and skirt steak don't disappoint either, with the latter satisfyingly cooked to taste almost like burnt ends. Service was attentive and friendly, matching the casual vibe of the restaurant. The wood plating is a nice touch to the otherwise no-frills decor. Don't miss this gem.

TTS Tacos and Tequilas: A Gem in Chicago's Culinary CrownFrom the moment I stepped into TTS Tacos and Tequilas, I was greeted by an atmosphere of warmth that only a truly friendly staff could provide. As someone relatively new to Mexican cuisine, with only Taco Bell as a reference, I was unsure about navigating the menu. However, the team was incredibly accommodating, crafting a dish tailored to my preferences with ease.I indulged in a steak taco cradled in a soft corn tortilla--and it was nothing short of excellent. The flavors were authentic and rich, a delightful surprise to my palate. Encouraged by this, I ventured further and sampled a ground beef taco on a flour tortilla. It was equally impressive, maintaining the high standard set by the first.Mindful of my mild taste preference, I requested no cilantro or guacamole. The staff obliged without hesitation, ensuring my tacos were perfectly suited to my delicate tongue. The server, Juri, was the epitome of hospitality--lovely and most accommodating. Indeed, all the staff were outstanding, contributing to a dining experience that felt both personal and genuine.Visiting in the mid-afternoon on a Sunday, I found the restaurant to be spotless and serenely quiet. The decor was thoughtfully curated, featuring wood plank tables and Mexican-themed adornments that transported me to a place of cultural richness and vibrancy.While I can't speak to the ambience when the restaurant is bustling, the tranquil daytime environment spoke volumes of the care put into maintaining the space. TTS Tacos and Tequilas is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Mexico right in the heart of Chicago. Whether you're a connoisseur or a newcomer to Mexican cuisine, this charming spot is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Went for happy hour and got margaritas and chicken floutas! Everything was delicious even the hot sauce. The service was fantastic. Our server was so sweet and gave great recommendations for more food and drinks. We then tried quesabirria tacos and green chicken enchiladas and they were both very flavorful. We ended our meal with one last hibiscus margarita. They have an adorable little patio just in time for the weather!

These place is such a hidden gem! The quality of food is seriously amazing and authentic. All of the tacos were sooo tasty and the guacamole was to dieeee for! Our server brought great vibes to the service and made the most delicious hibiscus margarita i have ever had. You have to try it!

I had such a wonderful experience here, everything was SO good. The staff was super friendly, the place itself was super clean and has a great vibe. I do wish they had a protein in their veggie tacos, but they were so delicious who cares. The salsa was delicious and they have good drink specials for happy hour. I will for sure be back.

Ok for some reason the Uber eats delivery took a super long time for only being like 1.5 miles away so I was annoyed but now I don't really care. Wow! Well worth the wait! My beef burrito was delicious and my partner loved his chicken enchiladas. Also bonus free elote bowls! Can't wait to walk here in the summer!

Great experience! Nice addition on Chicago Ave. service was awesome and non intrusive. Chips, red and avocado green salsa were tasty. We did 3 tacos - chicken, al pastor and skirt steak - all were delicious. Also had flautas - equally as tasty. Super affordable price point. Definitely going back! Support this local business!
