Taco Boom Chicago

I’ve been driving past Taco Boom Truck for what feels like forever, always catching a whiff of grilled meat or seeing a small line of people and thinking, “One day I’ll stop.” Well, I finally did, and man, I should’ve done it way sooner. It’s a simple setup, parked off the road, colorful, and always smelling amazing. People were hanging out, eating, and the service was quick and friendly. The guy at the window even gave me some salsa tips when I told him it was my first time. I went with two carne asada tacos. No exaggeration, the meat was so tender and juicy, with this really nice char on the edges. You could taste the seasoning in every bite, nothing overpowering, just that good mix of garlic, citrus, and smoky flavor. The tortillas were warm, soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together (no taco explosions, which is always a win). The green salsa? Wild. It started off kind of mild, then hit with this spicy, peppery kick that crept up in the best way. It had some creamy avocado vibes too, which made it super addictive. Honestly, I kept dipping even after I ran out of taco. If you’re in the mood for solid tacos that hit all the right notes, Taco Boom is 100% worth the stop. I already know I’ll be back.

Great taco stand. They have a few benches out front but most take food to go. Birra taco comes with a small cup of consome. Ordered asada and al pastor too. Looking forward to going back.

Went here expecting it to be good and I was definitely not disappointed. First time coming and got the Diablo burrito, absolutely mouth watering from the moment I opened the box. Birria tacos were next and the meat was absolutely perfect. Finished up with a Pizza birria that left me seeing pizza in a different level. The guy behind the counter was very cheerful and explained what was in each dish. Will definitely be adding this to my favorites, can't wait to visit again.

I was seriously craving carne tacos after work, and this place showed up in my Google search. I’m so glad it did! The tacos were so flavorful and seasoned to perfection. I’m absolutely coming back for more!

Was eager to try, but not a good experience. Upon arrival, 6pm, the cashier in the magenta shirt was super energetic, broke down the differences on the menu, which was unfortunately the highlight of the visit. Was advised that the food would be ready in 10 minutes,... it took 21 minutes and they still forgot a taco; for context there was only one other person there that ordered before me. Everything was overly packaged with Styrofoam. Just a suggestion, they could just do aluminum foil and call it a day. Food was ok, but nothing to boast about and definitely not worth the wait; I could just imagine the feedback when they're really busy. And the parking situation leaves an opportunity to get blocked in because it's a tight squeeze as is; we found a missing barrier that we were able to cut out through.

The food was great! Had the pizzabirria, quesabirria, and the taco chingon all three were great but the taco chingon and quesabirria definitely stood out as some of the best I’ve had must go to place!

I have visited all three locations of this restaurant, and I am consistently impressed. The food is excellent, and the service is outstanding. In every location, the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The flavors are consistently delicious, no matter which location you visit. My favorite dishes are the Quesabirria and the Birria Pizza. Highly recommend!

Tacos are decent, quesabirras are good! Birria pizza was definitely heavy... pretty good food truck I'll be back any chance I'm in the area
