This place just opened on Central Street. I ordered 5 chicken tacos. I was impressed. The green and red salsas that came with the tacos tasted very nice. They were spicy! The corn tortillas were nice too. Inside the tacos are chicken, onion, and cilantro. These aren’t what you’ll find from taco bell. These are authentic style. It was delicious! Juan greeted me when I came inside and he was very kind. I will definitely come again and try everything on the menu. Edit: Now it has been 5 months. They have added more specialties to the menu and they have different weekly items. Now they have flautas, horchata, milkshakes, tortas, and salads. Juan who is the owner is the nicest guy. I had the chicken tacos today. So delicious! The Salsa Verde was perfect as well as the tortillas!

Better Mexican place then any other in or around Evanston! The food here is SO good that if ICE came here, someone might just Assassinate Trump. Large burrito was $11 and tacos are 4 each!

It's tough to find decent street tacos in Evanston, but Taco Burger definitely delivers. Their tacos are packed with flavor, and I was really impressed with the quality of the ingredients. I also tried their signature taco burger, and it was surprisingly good! The flavors all worked really well together. Now I'm going to have a hard time choosing between the tacos and the burger on my next visit. They also have a great deal on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with $2 tacos from 6 to 7 pm. If you're in the mood for some tasty and affordable tacos, definitely check out Taco Burger.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyed a delightful experience at Famous Taco Burger in Evanston! The tacos were a highlight, bursting with flavor and freshness. While the Spanish rice and red beans didn't quite match my taste preferences, the inviting ambiance and friendly, fast service won me over. A solid choice for those craving a quick and tasty Mexican bite. #TacoDelight #FriendlyService #AmbianceWin
