Taqueria La Flor De México - Chicago

I haven't been into the restaraunt, this review is for their taco stand at maxwell street. for three dollars i had just about the best huarache i think is available outside of mexico. sure, they were out of cecina so i had to go with the asada, and sure ordering was a little confusing and hectic in such a small space, and sure the guy almost forgot to give me my jamaica. but once the food came out and i inhaled it in about 3.5 seconds, all complaints faded away.

The food is amazing! I had the guarache and gorditas, and they were both very tasty.

I can't believe they're charging $5 for a taco! Seriously, what are they thinking? A lobster is not a taco. If you're going to charge that much, at least learn how to make huaraches properly. It just doesn't make sense!

I ordered carne asada tacos on corn tortillas and a quesadilla. I felt compelled to try the quesadilla since they charged $3 for it; I know my reasoning isn’t sound, but I thought, "It must be really good if they’re charging that much." Unfortunately, the steak in the tacos was incredibly dry and had an odd flavor and texture. The tortillas were thick and completely flavorless, tasting stale and dull. Overall, it was quite disappointing. Even the $3 quesadilla fell short, which I probably should have anticipated. It was very cheesy and greasy, which I usually wouldn’t mind, but the tortilla ruined it. Looks like I'll need to walk a few blocks further for decent tacos.

Super.
