Zacatacos

Pretty simple here awesome steak and al pastor tacos, tongue tacos are not bad either, they also have a great potato taco they deep fry with lettuce tomato and cheese, everything thing else here is average I think meals are average don’t order the gorditas if your into them the masa is not homemade, burritos and tortas are average too, steak nachos are bomb! I order them with extra steak and Mexican cheese hate the melted ballpark cheese they normally serve it with so ask if you dislike it like me, what makes Zacatacos great is the steak and al pastor tacos, they rock! Even if they don’t fry the tortilla a little, the steak is always being made so it’s always fresh and they make the pastor the right way, I usually go to the one on Harlem and Pershing in Berwyn for convenience, staff could be pretty rude sometimes when your getting to go I think they’re overwhelmed by the big line they deal with on a daily, small cramped spot, servers aren’t rude tho, go to another 1 if you don’t like crabby cashiers.

They lose 2 stars for taking milanesa de res off the menu and another star for being a mexican restaurant that charges for lime.

Food was ok. Service was fast. The chicken tacos are really good

Such a hit or miss at this Berwyn staple. It’s always a hit if you’re drunk, though! Food is decent, depending on what you order. I’d recommend you stick to chicken or asada for your tacos, tortas, ect. Service is pretty much consistently bad. When you call in an order they never pay attention and always speak Spanglish even though I’m speaking Spanish. Basically, it’s good if you’re in a rush or want a cheap taco fix. Don’t expect anything crazy great from here though.

Whenever it’s a reco from a trusted source you’re always inclined to go +1 at the min. on a review. But here i’m a solid 3 star with or w. out a trusted endorsement, even though i came with one.
Zaco is straightforward as it gets. From the environs, the steady lunch line crowd coming in for take away and sit down (which is what we opted for) and there really isn’t a bad thing to say about the place.
Service was as efficient and experienced, they’ve been doing it for a while.
Food was great. Pastor, Asada, Veg, served Torta and Taco Style, well done.
It’s standard fare and nice quality all the same, nothing lights out but you know why you come and they deliver.

We have ate here numerous times and food is good, fast service. Today there was a hair in my sons food. And they messed up our orders. Food is good. Service is bad. Don’t expect anything more. We had to get up numerous times to get waitress attention. No apology for hair in his food. And Terrible service today. We won’t be going back.

Nom nom.
Mexican food! I swear I was born in the wrong country. I just love it all.
This place was fun and easy to get too! Like the name says, they have tacos!
A small joint, but worth it for the authenticity.

Zacatacos is no joke! I really like that they grill all of their meats (except Pastor) and it has the good char flavor! My personal favorite are the tortas de carne asada and pollo (it’s a little more but whatever). I also like getting the dinners but it depends on how hungry you are. Portions are pretty generous and the tacos are the usual Milagro tortilla size. This locations is not very big but I noticed that a lot of people just go pick up their food there or get their food to go.
It kind of sucks that they are only on the south side or suburbs otherwise I would go more often :(

Amazing steak tacos.
Meat is tender, juicy, and real steak!
The service is solid. The cashier ladies are rude though.
They communicate on purpose in a different language with you to see how you respond. When you speak Spanish back to them, they code-​switch to English but their English is not effective.
Overall, I always go for the huge tacos that are delicious!

Bad customer service great food

Usually always get a torta from here this location gives me all bread barely and meat beans or sour cream if I’m paying 6 $ for a torta I want it made right ALL the condiments are in ONE SPOT for example the beans, sour cream and avocado are ONLY IN THE MIDDLE LIKE WTF I WANNA TASTE THE GOODNESS IN MY WHOLE TORTA need to spread all the condiments through out the whole bread cooks are getting lazy ! Spread it out ! Put sour cream in a squeeze bottle so you could squeeze it all around instead of a big blob make avocado spread to spread out the avacado on one side of the bread instead of also a big blob of avacado * MANAGER PLEASE READ may be a little more work but will decently please more customers

Let’s start off with, I WILL NOT come back to this so called restaurant. Why? Because of the horrible service. AND it was a carry out. I orderdered and had to repeat myself over four times to the cashier, I have no problem with that. But when the cashier gives you a horrible attitude, tries to make you feel less, and acts like you don’t exist, when it was clearly her fault for not paying attention to what I had previously ordered. She was a cashier from hell. The worst attitude I’ve received from any cashier so far. I did not say anything because I don’t want any problems. But just warning everyone that goes there. Ok food, horrible, HORRIBLE service.

Awesome place for Mexican food. Big portions. The last burrito I had there put me to sleep for a few hours ! No complains

Good food, bad service.
I’ve called my order in two different and both times they’ve gotten it wrong.
I’ve also eaten in once, in a slow day, and waitress hardly ever came to the table. The place is small too, no excuse for that. Also got daughter’s order wrong that day.
Last time ordering from here.

Best Mexican food in the area for sure. It’s a small place but that’s OK. Always a line out the door, but that goes to show you. Five stars!

Good customer service. I have had so many people tell me the tacos are delicious here — those people obviously have never had good Mexican good. YUCK !!!
Chicken and steak had no flavor. The tortillas were tasty.

Zacatacos is no frills, but it doesn’t skimp on quality. I’ve driven by here a bunch of times over the years and I finally got the chance to try it when I just wasn’t in the mood to cook my own dinner. We ordered at the register, then sat down.
We shared the largest size of the horchata, which is actually 32 oz. This thing was huge and it had just the taste of horchata that I love. They claim to use natural ingredients in the menu, which I can believe by the great taste. There are a bunch of different horchata sizes already poured into the cups in the refrigerator, so my guess is this is a very popular item to be ordered from Zacatacos (and with good reason). I got the burrito al pastor, which was huge (believe me, I finished it); I really got my money’s worth. We also shared a huge serving of guac with chips, which was a deal for only $ 4. That’s probably the most guac for the best price I’ve ever seen. For example, it costs maybe twice as much for half the amount of guac at Big Star. Clearly there’s no need for that nonsense when I can get guac that’s twice as good at a local place like Zacatacos.
Make no mistake. This five stars is way different than a five stars I may give to outstanding places like BOKA. It’s five stars for being the best at what it is: a cheap, hole-​in-​the-​wall Mexican place in the suburbs.

I ordered 4 steak tacos with lettuce and cilantro on the side as well as some limes. The best part? Probably the lettuce!
The meat was dry, the limes were sour, and the tortillas were not heated well. I love Zacatacos but lately, the quality is very inconsistent! Makes me not want to go back ever. How upsetting!

Spoke too soon! I was here earlier and posted a message as I checked in stating the great service they provide here. When I arrived, I told the cashier I was picking up my order and told her my name. At that point, she said there was no order placed in such name then asked what my order was. I repeated my order & another clerk looked at me & said «oh we didnt make the order because we are out of rice. I forgot to tell you over the phone. Sorry.» As if that would make it alright. Being myself, I took it as a minor slip up & brushed it off. I placed a new order & was out of there in less than ten minutes. Clerks, next time please check whats available before taking orders. Thanks

Look no further! One of the best authentic steak tacos are at zaca tacos! They do not cheapen out on the meat either. Service is quick and friendly. The space is pretty small so seating is limited if you plan to eat in.

Doy 2 estrellas porque la comida esta muy buena pero cada vez que hablo para ordenar me dejan esperando sin ponerme en espera, la ultima vez me contestaron y cuando empieze a ordenar me dice que espere de nuevo. Es fustrante estar escuchando todo lo que pasa de tras drl tel y los ruidos de la registradora, y por ultimo cuando la srita me vontesta de nuevo le tuve que repetir toda la orden. Entiendo que este pequeno pero nesesitan mas organizacion. Simplemente mi opinion :)
