marcus: Got to agree with the pork belly, it's definitely a winner. Also recommend the basa and lamb shoulder tacos as well. Priced right!
Theresa Ganchorre: cheap and delicious tacos, try pork shoulder and the fish tacos.
AFAR Media: Everyone knows Big Star is famous for its cheap and tasty tacos but it's the queso fundido that really wowed my tastebuds. Melted queso Chihuahua cheese compliments the peppers and meaty chorizo. Read more.

Sarah Smith: I really enjoyed the shrimp and grits taco! The rotisserie chicken taco could have had a little more seasoning. Margs are also not too sweet just right!
Lucille Fisher: Taco heaven! Choices range from vegetarian, healthy (tacos w/crispy lettuce instead of tortillas), Indian flavored, bbq, tuna poke style, seafood etc. & $10 roasted chicken specials on Mondays!👍
Graylyn Roose: The chicken tikka tacos are my favorite, with the falafel tacos not far behind! Lots of space and great for groups, and a decent local beer selection too. What more could you want from a taco place?

Becca Kang: Mushroom taco. Empanada was solid. Ribeye taco also a great choice. Will be back.
Redeye Chicago: The market mushroom tacos ($7 for two) top a mix of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms with garlicky kale, spicy pickled jalapenos and a cilantro cream to cool it all down. Read more.
Brittany Towers: Agua Frescas are amazing here! Also the carnitas and steak tacos are delicious.

Chris Santiago: Al pastor tacos FTW - I can eat these every day
Jaye Jalso: It's true, their al pastor is delicious. Don't miss out on the mole sauce here. Get a side of it for chilaqules, top your chicken burrito with it, smear it on carne asada tacos. You can't go wrong.
Romi Anderfuren: The carnitas tacos was the best I've had...including in Mexico :)
