First time here, and it was a pain getting to the area, let alone parking. They are in very close proximity to Rush University Medical Center, so you can imagine the traffic and difficulty navigating the area.
I came at about 5 pm, so it was pretty lonely (at least inside the food court). I ordered Guacamole & Chips as well as a Quesadilla Grande de Tinga. The tortilla had a unique taste that added great flavor to the overall quesadilla. The Tinga had an okay flavor but was salty. Their salsas were okay, and only one was actually spicy. The guacamole was okay but it needed more flavor. I asked for some lime to add flavor to the guacamole, which made it much better. To drink I had an Agua de Pepino, which was delicious. You can tell it is freshly made. I also tried their agua de Horchata, which was also very delicious. Their aguas frescas really saved this place.
I also got to try the tacos Al Pastor. Look, it is a family tradition to make a taquiza every New Years of different meats like Suadero, Longaniza, Lengua, Cabeza and obviously al Pastor. I have never in my life had a sweet al Pastor taco. This taco was sweet but the meat had no flavor and it was a little tough. The tortilla was hard and dry, nothing like the bomb tortilla on my quesadilla. Just not what I expected from a taco Al Pastor. I couldn’t even blame it on a busy restaurant because it was lonely while I was there, but a lot of things were not right, especially with their price point. I genuinely only recommend their aguas frescas.

Used their food truck for my block party - have used them once before- the food is amazing !!! So fresh so good. Felipe and Jasmine were super kind and hospitable to all of my guests!!! The shrimp tacos were off the charts!

The atmosphere is amazing, the outside patio is so nice and well done. The inside has a lot to look at with a very exciting theme! We had carne asada tacos and chips and salsa. 10/10 would recommend. The juicyness and spice of the steak is authentic and unique to Jarabe in all the best ways!

Delicious tacos. Tried all but shrimp mojo and calabacitas. Al pastor (pork) definitely stood out to me as being especially good. 5/5

Hand made gluten free tortillas and delicious spices made brunch here awesome. And you have to try hibiscus lemonade. Mom tested teen approved.

The best Pastor Tacos I've taste so far. Most places don't include the pineapple, which is a shame. And at the moment, is the only place I know serves Cochinita Tacos; amazing taste this tacos have, be careful it's very spicy (Hot). Their Hibiscus Lemonade it's really good.
CONS - I can't recommend you the Birria Tacos because I already know another place with better ones. The ones that were served to me didn't have enough cheese on it. The flavor was good, but the cheese is $3 dollars more, not worth it. I was expecting melting cheese on every BITE. That didn't happened. Other places don't offer you pricey cheese.
I hope they'll be able to offer a wide range of protein options. Birria Tacos are messy, that's good, but cheese has to be enough to make you feel nasty, and bad for your diet.
Hope this review helps you.

I went with my cousin for a brunch experience and was surprised that tacos were $4.50 each on average. They were well worth it. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The tacos were delicious and I'll definitely be back for more. They were large and tasty.

Has to have been one of the best breakfast burritos I had ever eaten, period.
Red onions ever so smoothly grace the texture of beans, lime, guacamole, cod, and some chipotle mayo.
Disappointed I was upcharged from the $8 special on those to $12 anytime burrito due to protein being fish, but had I known better I'd still strongly consider it. Medium sauces were delicious. Chips were few but fresh, and the horchata is unique and methodically made.

Some of the best al pastor tacos I've ever had. The freshest chips and great atmosphere. Make an effort and treat yourself to some tasty food.
