I’m not a Chicago resident but since discovering this restaurant I make it a point to go visit each time I’m in Chicago. I specifically go here for the nachos. The portion size is ginormous! It could easily feed around three people! Food came out super fast! And a great atmosphere! My only issue the last time going was the service being a little slow and servers sitting around talking to each other when we were waiting for our checks and boxes. Other than that this place is so good!
A cute cozy place that you wouldn't really notice from the outside in winter. We split 6 tacos and the winners were the pork belly, oh my cod and the brisket (yum!) but the real star was the queso. Made with goat cheese and it was just amazing with their house made chips. We will definitely be back. The margaritas were good and the staff was great at customizing to taste. The manager was walking around and checking in on everyone. My water was never empty and staff overall was just super friendly. Perfect Saturday lunch.
We were visiting Chicago for the NBA game & Christmas time. We're so glad we stopped here. The tacos were amazing. DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT TRYING the churro filled with chocolate & peach gelato, probably my favorite dessert the whole trip! My favorite taco was the shrimp one & my husband's was the pork pineapple one. We also tried a raspberry marg on the rocks, which was great, but it was on the smaller side. The chips & salsa was okay (the chips were good, but the salsa was 2 different kinds & not your typical salsa). The atmosphere was perfect, but was also decorated very cute for Christmas. I recommend trying this restaurant, especially if you like Mexican food.
Beware! The portions are huge. We ordered the Nachos and a tray of tacos, and it was way more than we expected. Food was tasty, and came out very quickly. The margaritas were good as well. The atmosphere is fun, layback, and really makes justice to being called a “taco pub”.
Broken English Taco Pub might just be the definition of organized chaos — neon lights, wild murals, and the kind of energy that makes you want to order “just one more round.” 🌈🔥 We dove in with a passionfruit refresco that lived up to its name — pure liquid sunshine. The hamburguesa arrived stacked, saucy, and unapologetically indulgent. The Guacamole de Piña was a sweet-savory dream that deserved its own slow clap, and the Carne Asada came in sizzling with attitude. Even the Mucho Good Greens Bowl flexed like it had something to prove — crisp, bold, and full of flavor. It’s one of those spots where you leave full, happy, and slightly glittered by the vibe.
