Flaco’s Tacos Menu – Chicago, IL

Type : Mexican restaurant

Location : Chicago, IL

Each Flaco’s Taco begins at dawn.
That’s when the ladies arrive to prepare fresh tomatillos, jalapeños, and habaneros to make our famous fresh salsas. They prep the masa and smooth out the banana leaves and dried corn husks for our homemade tamales. They hand-grind cuts of fresh steak. These ladies didn’t go to a fancy culinary school. Their skills were learned at home, from their mothers, fathers, aunts, and uncles.

We may serve your Flaco’s Tacos quickly, but we take no shortcuts in our preparations. What we don’t prepare ourselves, we source from trusted partners, like El Milagro Tortillias. We take pride in our food, and we take pride in our efforts to recycle, reduce waste, and use biodegradable products.

Laid-back taqueria serving Mexican standards, such as tacos, flautas & quesadillas. Based on 928 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price $

I found this place as i was trying to escape the rain. I had some steak tacos which were pretty large in size but had a lot of really good flavor. I added some habanero hot sauce on the tacos which definitely took them to the next level.

Tacos: 5 stars. Queso: 1 star. My steak tacos were amazing. Big juicy steak. The queso tasted like canned nacho cheese. The chips were very good so I ate those plain.

Just moved here from Atlanta so I will be coming here often. Really great and authentic Mexican food. I had 3 barbacoa tacos. They were generous in portion size and tastes great. I sat in the window and watched people stroll by. They have great service. Love the Jamaica!

Absolutely delicious Mexican food. Huge tacos, tasty tamales, bangin burritos, and amazing horchata alongside margs and everything else you can expect from a top-tier taco spot. I always get different tacos when I come here and haven’t been disappointed yet.

This place has a very chill vibe, is very affordable and conveniently located, but I’ve had better tacos at many other places. The street corn chicken taco and street corn chicken burrito was good, but the fish in my other tacos was not well seasoned, and our rice and beans were overcooked and barely edible. The frozen sangrita was the most enjoyable part of my meal and I’d definitely go back just for that!

This is not authentic mexican food. It actually sucks. Super over priced just because it’s in the downtown area. I got the chicken nachos i think i found 3 little pieces of chicken chips taste like the oil needed to be changed i also got the horchata not good neither i payed 24.47 for those 2 items that went to the garbage. Needless to say i will not be coming here again.

Great food with more of a “low key” vibe. I had a delicious chicken burrito along with a side of chips and queso. The portion sizes are great for the price. I’m not a Margarita drinker but if I was I would have gotten one here because they looked pretty good.
