Taco Burrito King

Old Tack Burrito King or as the kids would say «TBK» fits the dunning neighborhood, and is a staple in the #44^th most dangerous neighborhood in the hood. The old narrative is only come here if you’re 12 Busch Lights, and a couple Jack D shots in. Well, I’m here to tell Unilocal community that couldn’t be further from the case. Yes, you out of towner yuppies (looking at you Christine from EP) the service isn’t that friendly, but the doors in the back right, if you can’t take the heat walk out the door. The boys in back in the kitchen don’t care for your nonsense they’re there for your meal, and they do not frig it up. I have been here maybe 300 times around that ballpark, and I couldn’t tell you one bad experience I have had here. Like most said in the peanut gallery below me, you wanna be here around 12– to closing cause that’s where the fireworks are at. You never know what you’re gonna see I’ve had the pleasure of seeing many of our local dunning legends here at their darkest times. There is a very good chance you’ll see some fists flying in the alley walking out probably a 12 vs 12 polish vs Mexican battle very good stuff. Now let’s get to the food, like I said you don’t have to be half in the bag to eat the magical Mexican dishes the fellas cook up. Always fresh, and you’re never waiting for more than 10 minutes for your meal the fellas are quick behind the dish. It’s cheap very cheap 10 bucks will get your meal, and a cherry Coke to wash it down. Now here’s the kicker, the seating is what brings this place all together. I’ve had some of the best conversations with my friends and random drunken idiots here. You’re packed in tight with everyone and let me tell you something once you go here once you’ll be back again.
Quick side note power ranking the tbks

#4 HIP location garbage the little adopted brother it’s trash.
#5 Niles location never been there cause well it’s Niles and enjoy your DUI if you go here past 11
Thanks for your time.

Hit this spot every time I visit Chicago. They’re open like always, and the food is good and lots of it.
Honestly, I’ve been to fancy Mexican restaurants and food wasn’t half as good. I even fly their burritos to Washington state for my boyfriend. First time he saw a burrito up to his elbow he freaked out and fell in love with it.
I’m giving 4* because the parking is atrocious. And although they filled in the 3^rd world country potholes, you still have to worry not to get the back of your car «clipped» by cars passing through that alley that’s also a parking lot.

Gross!
The place is super dirty
The salsa when you order «salsa and chips» was a watery bland liquid. It was more like a diluted can of tomato sauce. Couldn’t eat it.
Then we Ordered a steak taco plate and a steak burrito. The steak was gross! No flavor and it tasted so weird. The meat looked grey.
We left our dinners and had to walk out. What a disappointment. We told the workers but they didn’t care. They laughed. Oh and I ordered a side of avocado. They gave me a rotten black avocado!
Health dept should really inspect this place.

A lot of authentic dishes st very reasonable prices and quick service. Guys It Is A Real Treat. Crowds after clubs yet a good hang out joint as well. Check It Out!
