Fun atmosphere with delicious food! Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I ordered the chicken enchilada dinner. My spouse ordered the footlong burrito. Very delicious! Also $6 margaritas during happy hour and they didn’t hold back on the tequila. Would highly recommend!

Food was absolutely delicious! I got the Burrito Supreme with Steak. It tasted so good! The server I had was really nice, but took a bit to stop by when I was trying to get the check. It was right in the middle of lunch rush so I think she had other tables to serve.

Very friendly staff. Clean Restaurant. Food was good. Good prices. I prefer warm tortilla chips, rather than the cold ones they served. Tasty, and not too spicy, tortilla dipping sauce. Loved that it was over-accented with Cilantro. I enjoyed the Posole soup. It is tomato based with Pork pieces/homily. Delicious and well balanced and not too spicy. Again, loved that it had NO cilantro. Enjoyed the Julio taco. Beef with a onion/jalapeno slices. Hand held sized for $4.5 . A little pricey for such a tiny taco, but the flavor was delicious! My husband had 3 corn tortilla tacos. Tortillas were fried. Really tasty! I recommend this restaurant. It was filled with locals and visitors.

We had a family get-together after our grandson’s graduation from Navy boot camp. The service was great. The food was good. I didn’t report it, but there was a piece of burnt food like it broke off the grill. Other than that, all our family thought it was great. As a southerner we expect fresh brewed iced tea, but the tea is either instant or from concentrate.

I was recommend to Tacos el Norte by a friend. I have to say it was an amazing experience. The server/waitress were great! Have to say the tacos were the best I have tried since moving to Illinois. I could really taste the passion in the tacos. The ambiance was great and the Décor really matched the overall experience. If I could I would eat these tacos everyday! I highly recommend this shop to anyone who wants high quality tacos!

The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean, but the food was lacking. I ordered the Torpedo Burrito with lamb and with steak, and neither was great. I was surprised that the over-easy egg was not in the burrito but on top, and one of the yolks was broken and had egg shells in it. The steak was fine, the lamb was stringy and tough. The burritos didn’t have the structural integrity to be held while eating, and one of them was already covered in egg yolk. I have been to several other Tacos El Norte locations, but I will not be coming back to this one.

Not a fan of their chunky queso and the black beans were unseasoned, but the fish tacos and guacamole were really good.

The food was ok, nothing extraordinary. The size of the tampiqueña was small compared to other restaurants. There was a good amount of fat on it that was chewy and it lacked flavor. The guacamole didn’t taste fresh or authentic. The ladies that were the severs, really need to work on their customer service skills. There was no effort to smile or at least be nice. They looked irritated and unhappy with their job. The two stars are for the chicken flautas and the margarita that were both delicious.

I have been coming here frequently for the last few years. Great place for margarita pitchers and tacos. Make sure you get there before 6pm on the weekends or you’ll have nowhere to seat yourself.
