5.0 of 5 stars. I first went to Tacos El Norte with a field trip with my highschool spanish class. They were very nice to cater to us then, and since I've been back many times, even persuading the rest of my family....

3.0 of 5 stars. I have a soft spot for Tacos El Norte in Highwood. Maybe it's because my dad and I are the only two who *really* love Mexican food in my family. Maybe it's because he calls it "Tacos Del Norte." Maybe...

4.0 of 5 stars. Great little place. Best cheap taqueria around. My boy can run around freely and it doesn't bother anyone. Lots of loyal regulars. Service is so so but cmon, it a taqueria.

Yelp.com Review - by Ken S.

1.0 of 5 stars. Staff treats you like crap if you are not hispanic. Food was mediocre, at best. Place is very dirty too. I have no reason to back here, especially because the staff made me feel very unwelcome.

5.0 of 5 stars. From what I'm told this is the most authentic Mexican food in Chicago. I've been coming here since I was a child and I've only had their steak burrito. I've been satisfied every time. The meat is...

5.0 of 5 stars. Absolutely delicious fresh salsa. I usually have the avacado tostada, and my only complaint is that it is (or I am) too messy. My 2 sons always head there when back in town. Friendly and fresh
