Taqueria Los Juanes 2 1241-1251 East Higgins Road, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007

"I found this gem while looking for tacos near my friend. I am so glad we agreed on this spot. The service is amazing and the decor is so beautiful. I got the taco dinner plate with two steak tacos and a birria taco - the meat was really good and flavorful. I live an hour away from this place, but I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the far north suburbs again."

"The server was the nicest woman, that is my main memory of this restaurant that I will carry with me. The tacos were all good with nice portions of meat, and the salsas provided were a tasty complement. Not too spicy but that might be a good thing for some people. I’m not always met with complimentary chips and salsa so that was nice as well. The tamale I ordered was fresh and had great masa but there wasn’t a lot of pork filling. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for Mexican food in the area!"

"After trying the first location it was only right to try location 2 as well. The steak and pork tacos I recently tried were a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned to perfection, offering a juicy and savory experience. The pork, on the other hand, had a wonderful smoky flavor with a hint of spiciness that added a delightful kick. Both meats were complemented by fresh, crisp onion and cilantro and fresh lime, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The warm, soft tortillas held everything together beautifully. Overall, these tacos were a mouthwatering treat that I would eagerly savor again. Tuesday are Happy Taco Tuesday for $1.50 each."

"Delicious, authentic, speedy service, friendly atmosphere, horchata is rich and delicious. You get greeted with chips and salsa right away. This is how every causal Mexican restaurant should be. Fast enough yo eat during lunch break. Tacos de tripitas are crunchy and on point."

"Was in the area to visit Mikerphone Brewing and needed some dinner. This is just a few blocks away and has good ratings so we thought we'd give it a shot. Got 12 tacos: 6 Al Pastor, 2 chicharrón, 2 carnitas, 2 birria. The Al Pastor was good but a tad sweet and bigger "chunks" of meat as opposed to being a bit more "shaved". Chicharrón was great and the only criticism I can give is that they could use a bit more meat. The carnitas are f'n fire! Some of the best carnitas I've had other than my own, honestly. I would buy it by the pound if they sold it. The birria was fantastic and I was mindblown that they actually use goat instead of beef. That's something you don't see these days. We will absolutely be back to try more from the menu and I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone."
