Taqueria Uptown: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Chicago

I’ve eaten here many times and always enjoyed the food. Today however, I ordered the Quesabirria plate, wow!!!! Super yummy. I will have pictures next time I order here. Great food, great price, friendly service. 5 Stars all the way.

A friend and I stopped in for the first time yesterday and holy moly y'all, the food is SUPERB. I got two carne asada tacos, and the tortillas were sturdy yet pliable, the tomato and lettuce were crisp and fresh, and the meat was perfectly seared yet succulent. My friend spent much of the meal in total tamale-induced bliss, so I suspect that order is just as excellent! The restaurant itself is clean and pleasantly simple, and service was prompt and friendly. 100% would recommend with great enthusiasm, and I am absolutely coming back for one of the godlike burritos I saw heading to another table as we left.

I got tacos here once and haven't stopped since. Customer service was kind and on point, good is delicious and price is reasonable:)

I got the taco dinner. The only downside is that you only get to choose one meat. The size and the flavor of the tacos do not reflect the price. This is what a $20.00 taco combo should be and for less then 15.00 even with a $2.00 tip! I will definitely be eating here again soon! Five stars, two thumbs up and a spill on the shirt delicious

The physical space is basic but clean and comfortable. It is the really tasty food that brings me back here. Most others eating around me are Latino speaking Spanish energetically and in a way that lets you know they are regulars and know each other. I believe that when natives of the country of origin of the food frequent a restaurant, you can be sure the food is authentic. I had the chicken mole enchiladas with a side of guacamole. The restaurant provided corn chips with a bean dip that was tasty but I did add some salt. The mole sauce was tangy yet not overly hot. The meal was large and I took much of it home. It reheated beautifully and was totally tasty. Service was fast and the waitress was friendly. Don't be dissuaded by the basic appearance and plastic table cloths. This is really good food. I do wish they had some healthier drink options but they have an extensive menu and lots of choices of soda drinks.

Small little business right on the corner. Authenic mexican food. Their Al Pastor is sliced off of a spit and it is marinated perfectly with lots of sweet flavors. They have many uncommon taco toppings like chicharrón (pork skin) which is delicious. Their Mexican rice is flavored well. They serve chips and beans instead of salsa.

Got some tacos. Solid place. Everything tasted good and you got solid portions for the price. Recommended

What a hidden gem! I hope nobody finds out about this place. This place was absolutely amazing—fantastic food, exceptional service, and a truly beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!
