Macho Taco

We catered here for our daughter’s first birthday and baptism and are so happy we did. First, they took the order even though they are closed on Sundays. Thank you! Second, their food is delicious. And third, they give you so much food. We ordered for 20 adults. We got 2 meats, tortillas, chips, guac, 2 different salsa, 3 different sauces, plus traditional accompaniments. Everything was delicious. Our family was really impressed and I’m pretty sure Macho Taco will have a few new customers coming to check them out.

Pleasantly surprised… not what I expected! Don’t get me wrong Food here is great! But I consider these «fancy» tacos! Lol

I have never once craved a taco. My parents came here last night and were raving about this place. The chicken taco was one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten! Wish I would’ve found this place the second it opened! Worth any drive! I will officially crave these tacos!

Deliciously crafted tacos and delightfully affordable! We’ve been to some of the «trendy» taco joints in Chicago, and love a creative taco. This place rivals flavors at Big Star and Cochinita, but for a fraction of the price. Starting off with freshly fried chips was a nice, yummy touch.
Fish taco was outstanding and Korean beef excellent! But really all tacos were very tasty. Very friendly staff made us feel right at home. We will be back!

Absolutely love this place!
Not your ordinary taco place. The tacos are unique in their ingredients and flavor, ones you would usually get at fancier restaurants. For the price you pay, its definitely worth it. My favorites are the chicken tacos and their pork belly taco special.
In addition, the guys that work there are super friendly! They’re always greeting you as you come in and they make sure youre enjoying the food while you’re there.

Good burrito. Found on Unilocal and had high reviews so I gave it a try. Really like the roasted corn in the burrito (no other Mexican restaurants have that). The Serrano aioli was a very nice touch. The fresh chips are awesome. Recommend this restaurant for a change from the normal burrito.

The bowls off the chain… wayyyy better than Chipotle! Everything is made fresh to order… Friendly service too… I am a regular!!! Chicken bowl add pico and a cheese quesidilla please

Macho Tacos-​the place was really crowded on a Friday night, loud in there! Very casual atmosphere, order at the counter at they’ll call you to pick up food when ready. Is it called Macho Taco because the staff is all male? Busy and energetic guys, orders are cooked and made fresh. Clean. Limited alcohol selections, beers and Margaritas. Video slots in the back room. Ground beef taco dinner was good. Not your typical refried beans but very tasty! Rice was very well seasoned. Korean BBQ taco is excellent! Macho nachos are a huge portion! Mike runs the place, introduced himself, very personable guy. The place is hard to categorize-​not your typical taco dive, better than fast food. We will try them again, for sure.

OH EM GEE! I ate here 5÷23÷16 since I’ve heard a lot of good things about this place. I ordered the steak burrito and an order of chips and salsa. Delicious! They make the burrito with fresh corn salsa, such a simple thing, but such a delicious spin on the ordinary. In fact everything was fresh and tasty. Rice had a nice, garlicky flavor and frijoles were good as well. You must try the tortilla chips, so crisp, delicately salted, was heaven in my mouth. One thing I would improve on is the pico de gallo, it had no lime, not spicy enough and maybe needed a bit more salt.
Staff was also friendly, the guy at the register was very courteous. I didn’t dine in, but it’s a nice place to sit down for a meal.
Very nice spin on Mexican food. A must try for sure. I know I will be back to try other things on the menu.
Enjoy!

I’ve Been Coming Here For A Little While And Have Tried Damn Near Everything On The Menu. The Staff, Owner And Clientele Are Way Above Average. Mike & Evan Are Some Of The Coolest Guys In Illinois. I Upgraded My Review Because They Earned it. Top Notch Product With Amazing, Exceptional Service.
The Barbacoa Taco Is A Masterpiece Along With The Korean BBQ Taco… Yum.
Ask For The Korean Sauce In Their Already Amazing Pollo Taco And You Will Thank Me Later. Don’t Forget Frijoles –Awesome!

My son recommended this place so we gave it a try. First thing I noticed upon entering was the place was spotless. We tried the steak taco dinners. The steak tacos were outstanding. The steak was nicely seasoned, tender, and delicious. Everything tasted fresh, it appears they make their own tortillas fresh on site. The rice, beans, salsa & chips were fresh & delicious. There’s a sign up by the register displaying the daily specials. We’ve order carry out mostly but have dined in on a few occasions. The food and service was top notch. These guys are doing everything right. If you want great tasting fresh food topped off with great service, this is the place to get it…

This joint is currently my favorite Mexican place. Good luck finding a seat Friday nights when they have their awesome 2 dollar margarita deal. I reccomend the chicken bowl. I love the corn salsa and their chipotle sauce! If you’re brave and think you can handle it (I couldn’t) try the Macho sauce. Very friendly staff and everything exceeded my expectations.

Initially I was a little hesitant to try the food let alone, take my family here due to some of the bad reviews I had seen given. Nevertheless, we ended up going to give it a shot as I feel everyone deserves a chance. My wife had the Steak taco dinner. My son had quesadillas and had the chicken burrito mysel. I’ll say the food is a little different but nevertheless was delicious! The tortilla chips are fresh amd so is the pico de gallo. They red saucd had a good kick! They serve you good portions as well. We all ended up taking some home for dinner. We will be eating here again.
Highly recommend this place!!!

Wow someone recommended me to this taqueria which is 40 minutes from where I live and the truth is that I was surprised. It had been a long time since I ate tacos so rich, delicious margaritas and churros with Nutella and the service not to mention, excellent. definitely I will go back and recommend it 100%.
Much congratulations and Blessings on your anniversary. many a1amore anniversaries more.
Thanks to the Owner for personally coming to our table to take care of us and asks us how the service was!!!

As I normally go to Lucky Burrito or El Gallo for my Mexican food fix. I do like to try other places to see what’s out there. Well I tried Macho Taco tonight and I can sum up my visit in one word, Unique!
I ordered my standard new restaurant meal, one chicken taco and one steak burrito. First the chicken taco. The chicken is cut up into fairly small pieces and came without most of the junk they usually put on tacos. But here the tacos come with some weird corn and cheese topping along with cilantro. The cheese reminded me of Velveeta cheese with corn kernels thrown in, which made the taco a little messy to eat. Also topping had a little kick to it, don’t know which item had it, but it was there.
The steak burrito was also prepared with the steak cut into small pieces. But it was applied in a very small amount compared to other burrito places. The main filler was Spanish rice along with corn and some other toppings.
All in all, the food tasted pretty good. Also to my surprise, if you eat in, they have a soda machine in the dining area. Drinking soda out cans like most Mexican restaurants have, can be very expensive as I can consume a couple of them during a meal. It is a little on the pricey side and the staff seems fairy friendly.

This place has great customer service and on Fridays they have $ 2 margaritas. The food was pretty decent. Overall, you get what you pay for. They hook it up with tequila in the margarita. Unfortunately there isn’t to much room to sit.

WTF! $ 2 margaritas! On a Friday! Was out in Bridgeview to visit one of our campuses for work. We were looking for a good Mexican restaurant for lunch, my coworker mentioned this place. Greatest decision of the week! Of course we couldn’t say no to a $ 2 margarita! And it totally threw me off, cause we’re here for the food! (Definitely tasty, wanted to stay for more!)
And the burrito! I love Chipotle! I love traditional Mexican burritos even more. But this aioli they put into the steak burrito was absolutely the sh$t! (that means in a good way!). It’s lent, I ordered it, I forgot i ordered steak, ugh… but said ef it. This dish was too good to stop eating!
Thanks for the warm welcome! Wish you guys were closer to our Chicago campus, but you’re my go to place whenever I’m in Bridgeview campus! I also heard it’s pretty fly on Fridays, after work!
Keep it up peeps!

Ok great tacos (I had the short rib taco) and awesome frozen Margaritas. I had the peach.
All under $ 15.00 bucks even better!

Wow! I recently moved to the area and turned to Unilocal for a different taco place than El Faro in Summit. I can’t describe how glad I am that I did!!! Hands down the best tacos I’ve had in sooooooo long. The time, effort and quality comes through with every delicious bite! I had the steak, pork and fish tacos and a margarita. The BF had steak, pork and chicken. We both had the flavorful beans and rice too. Usually we share when we try new places but neither one of us wanted to give up even one bite!
Amazing place! Keep up the great work guys, your customer service and food is so refreshing!

I was in the area was excited to give this place a try based on the reviews and feedback off Unilocal but was very disappointed was better off hitting a Taco Bell instead. First thing I ordered to go the place shorted us a taco on the order ok no big deal I asked for extra sauce I got 2 barely filled containers of red sauce and 2 containers of green sauce we had ordered 4 tacos burrito and a cheese quesadilla. I asked for carrots on the side which I always got for free from other Mexican restaurants they charged me $ 2 and some change for a small container of it. The tortilla was not cooked or heated u can see in the pictures I posted. I ordered a steak taco with everything I don’t even know what they put on it maybe just a lil sour creamHonestly I don’t know if I had bad experience coming here or people never had good Mexican food in this area. I wouldn’t recommend this place
