Flavor & Taste is our business.
We admit it. We’re extremely passionate about tacos.
It’s our obsession, and we’re proud to have been in business since 2018, serving up authentic American food with an old-world Mexican twist and taste. Get ready to indulge in tacos that explode in your mouth with the freshest ingredients – locally grown and hand-selected. We take great pride in our unique craft tacos, our home-smoked brisket, and our homemade tortillas, such as the Jibarito. Our tamales are also recipes created over 50 years ago, by “Mama Tata.” Our variety of dishes, which includes soups, salads, fajitas, rice bowls, and additional options, as well as homemade desserts, will satisfy just about any craving.
Abuelita would be so proud! And don’t forget to try our famous craft drinks such as Margaritas, Micheladas, and Palomas! We offer a great selection of beer and pairings to complement our craft taco line, as well as our own Tatas beer.

Our Story
Tata’s Tacos opened in 2018 with its amazing lineup of unique tacos. We made it through the pandemic and the changing economic landscape. We opened a location in Portage Park that offers community events and a place to celebrate life—bringing together art, music, and delicious food, with a great selection of decadent entrées and tacos!

What Our Customers Say
These are some of the best Tacos I have ever had! She gives Rick Bayless at Cruise Blanca a run for his money, which is also a favorite of mine. Marci’s food is addicting, not because of chemicals (Like in fast food) but because of the freshness, amazing flavors, and sauces, all made from scratch, including her signature homemade tortilla’s. I am salivating just thinking about it.
Marci and Ismael make a great team. Marci is a superb, underrated chef and operator with an energy and focus that is rare. Ismael is a great operator. It started with Marci’s mother in Mexico, creating authentic recipes with all fresh food made-to-order, including hand-made tortillas, done perfectly, using her mother’s original, authentic recipes from Mexico. Her mother is a century old and still alive and well. Marci started in Pilsen and successfully ran one of the original Chicago food trucks. Then, she opened in Lakeview, had a great run, and closed it down. Now, it has two locations near Six Corners, one being fast/casual and where you can order online and cater.
It’s a small and quaint restaurant with a cozy bar. The tap list is quality, and she serves a handful of special drinks that are also freshly made and pair well with her food, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The tacos are packed with various flavors, homemade sauces, and flowing juices. The empanadas are lightly fried and bursting with flavors. Anyone with a quality food palette will appreciate this Taco joint!
The tinga empanadas and shrimp taco were hands-down my favorites. By the time I bit into my second empanada, I realized it didn’t even need salsa — the flavors stood strong on their own. That’s when you know the food is truly something special. Highly recommend!
P.S I regret not taking pictures!
