Delicious as always and very attentive staff. The tacos here are soooo good. I normally order chicken tacos and they're grilled with your choice of cilantro and onion or lettuce, tomatoe, and cheese. As soon as you walk in you can sit anywhere you like and someone comes to give you chips and salsa. It's also very clean no matter how many times we've gone it's always been very clean.

Brought chips & 2 salsa to the table. Carne asada was so well cooked & seasoned perfectly. Mini tacos delicious. Chicken quesadilla so flavorful. Staff was very knowledgeable & offered suggestions.

This place was on my route so decided to check on what all the hype was about. I ordered the burrito dinner and was slightly disappointed on the size of the burrito. The meat in the burrito was great quality meat and had a nice off the grill taste. Just place does well, but they still need to focus on quality. My waitress experience was a bit off. She seemed a bit all over the place. Very nice but took about 10 minutes to get a spoon for my soup. I had a good experience for a Sunday evening.

Food is awesome. Its prepared well and with good portions. I'd give 5 stars but my main dish mysteriously disappeared. The Enchiladas. I won't visit this place anymore since that dish was what drew my family and myself to dine in.

Going to Zacatacos is like visiting that Tia that always has good homemade food. Nothing here disappoints! We recently stopped in for dinner after dropping family off at Midway. I have to say, the star of the show here are the tacos de asada- tender grilled chunks of meat full of flavor. And they do not skimp on the meat! It's def what you would call a 'fat taco'. But everything we've had here is delicious: chiles rellenos, enchiladas, flautas, burritos. And they also have daily specials too depending what you're in the mood for. The servers are always very friendly and helpful and check on you often. We don't always get to come here, but when we do, it's always a treat!

Service here is excellent—quick, attentive, and very friendly. The staff makes you feel welcome right away, and the cozy, no-frills vibe gives it that authentic neighborhood spot feeling that’s perfect when you’re hungry and just want good food. The standout is definitely the authentic Mexican comida, full of rich flavors and cooked to perfection. Portions are generous, so you leave satisfied without breaking the bank, and the value for what you get is hard to beat. Every dish feels freshly made, and you can taste the care in the cooking. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a casual meal alone as it does for bringing friends or family. Between the warm atmosphere, outstanding food, and great prices, this spot is a hidden gem worth visiting again and again.

Like any taco joint or restaurant, it goes from great to good to I'll just go elsewhere. Even though I always give the benefit of the doubt, I always get disappointed with the take out service or phone ordering. Their tacos were addicting in the beginning, but not that bad.. The meat ratio has been a bit smaller and sometimes the meat isn't well seasoned. Maybe it's just the 59th location on Pulaski .... Try the other location on 71st.
