Loved it! Went on Monday during the happy hour, ordered the taco flight and margaritas. It was plenty of food and the flavors were excellent! I was happy they didn't double up the corn tortilla, and it held together really well. Even though it was a happy hour price, the drink was strong and the portion of food larger than I expected. If I lived in town I would be back today ????
Good food, service and price.
The tacos and guacamole were delicious!

Gordos taco bar wasn't as good as the expectation. Food was good but the service. It was slow, definitely could have been better. Also the price does not match with the way the food is served. It could be good for laid-back party or group of people.

Thursdays half off margaritas ???? are so worth it. Roughly 4 glasses for $14 and the strawberry flavor is amazing!
I also had corn tortillas and tried 3 different tacos; fish, top sirloin steak and regular steak. The fish and asada(regular steak) were REALLY good! The top sirloin was very dry and didn't really taste as good as the others, but it wasn't bad! If I'm in the area in the future I'd definitely come again!
Note: the corn tortillas break easy, ask for 2 per taco

Being a Latina, this place made it feel like home in a downtown area where there aren’t too many Latino restaurants. A helpful server named Ricky attended us and the manager Jason made us feel welcomed. They served A LOT of meat in their tacos and their homemade tequila is delicious, even for those who don’t really taking shots! We liked their margaritas so much that we got a pitcher, which saved us some money. For other Latinos out here in Chicago, I recommend supporting this business!

We ordered from here twice and it’s been really good both times. Their menu is humongous, with lots of different options, but we’ve mostly stuck with tacos which were *all* great. The chicken tinga and the al pastor are probably at the top of the list.
The approach to all of the tacos is simple, non-pretentious, not an overwhelming amount of ingredients but the ones that are used are flavorful and balanced. Definitely recommend.

Had a lunch meeting with my friends at this cozy taco place.
I enjoyed the happy hour menu. I ordered tacos and it was delicious.
The service was good and our server was really polite. I like the indoor setting, but the outdoor decoration was pretty weak.

Vistiting Chicago decided to try this place that was walking distance away from our hotel. Tacos were good with the exception of the fish taco, Sangria was good, chips & salsa were very good! Esquite was very tasty ! Regret not ordering dessert maybe next time !

Taco Tuesday is the best. Love the Conchinita, asada and shrimp tacos. $2 tacos are a good deal. Good margaritas. Restaurant's decor lacks personality. Maybe I just miss the artwork from previous Mezcalina. Maybe it's the times we're in but the staff doesn't appear to really want to be there. All in all I like this neighborhood restaurant.
