Taco Joint on Postcard

"Taco Joint, Lincoln Park. This late-night urban taqueria & cantina serves delicious Mexican street fare such as tacos (10 different kinds including rotaing specials), tortas & flautas. Additionally, more than 50 tequilas are on hand. You can even buy an entire bottle and store it there to drink during your next visit. While you wait for your food, be sure to try one of their many varieties of margaritas or if you're looking for a kick try the Michelada. The cozy atmosphere lends itself to date night or an intimate dinner with friends but you'll also see plenty of people at the bar taking advantage of their great happy hour food and drink specials."

"Owner Edgar Castaneda has closed the original Taco Joint. It was the last remaining location after the River North restaurant shuttered last year. The Mexican restaurant at 1969 N. Halsted Street had served for nearly nine years." - Ashok Selvam

The tacos here are pretty good, the service is good, vary fast for sure. The venue is a little dark but what is cool is in the corner of the bar they have a window that opens all the way to outside. Those are probably the best seats in the house. The also have a pretty good happy hour special on tacos and drinks.

Food is delicious. The steak fajita taco and Al pastor tacos are my favorite. The Baja fish taco is also great. The street corn/elote is very good. The servers are great. Drinks are great. Margaritas are strong, delicious and flavorful. Pricing is fair, somewhat pricey but definitely worth it. Restaurant is clean. Can get busy at times. Street parking is the only option. I definitely recommend visiting.

My favorite taco place of all time!! I am absolutely in love with their mango margarita with a chile rim. They have the best tacos to me. It’s a small place that packs a lot of good flavors into their food. I have been going here for a few years and I am never disappointed. This is my favorite place to go on a date. Each and every time I go, I love it more than the last time.

This place is not really traditional Mexican food but it was definitely delicious. The Baja tacos and the steak torta were very tasty. My favorite part was the grapefruit margarita , And the delicious guacamole and queso dip! It tasted like Mexican corn! We also tried the aguas frescas which were also delicious! Our only complaint is that we needed more tortillas because our tacos were quite heavy :) Also our waitress Jackie was fantastic & descriptive! We will def be back for round 2!

Seriously good tacos, some may say they are small and not great value and maybe they are on the small side but damn they are good. Best 🐟 🌮 I've had in the Midwest and steak was out of this world. The margaritas were strong, tasty and just what you want on a weekend anytime of day. Service... outstanding!

Not a typical Mexican restaurant however, food and service were gr8. More like an upscale taco joint Portions not as large as other places but food was tasty and so were the drinks (esp. Made in Mexico drink - get rdy for a little kick and punch).

It is simply the best taco that I had tested. I am talking about the cochinita taco that comes with the red marinated onion on the top. The service was nice, fast and polite. The ambience is unique.I like the huge painted walls. If you have a space for desserts I will recommend the pina colada tres leches.

Amazing tacos. Can't go wrong with Barbacoa and Conchinita - flavors well balanced and with a twist on the classics. Also, try the Ceviche Taco (the one in the picture) - it's a pleasant surprise.
