literally zero complaints about this place. came here solely because they are dog-friendly (thank you!) and I wanted to go out with my family but couldn’t leave pup at home. my dog was acting up at first, unfortunately, but they still accommodated us and we were seated fine. had multiple kids with us and they have a free kids menu (quesadillas & nachos!) very very good. I got the nachos and my mom got street tacos. the guac was fire! def rec!

Great food, fast service, nice hospitality, chill vibes. One of the best patios in wicker park and dog friendly too! Reservations and walk-ins welcome.

Came on a Saturday night with a friend, it was packed but lovely. We say inside since the outdoor patio was loud. Music was a bit loud inside but the waiter was very nice and helpful as this was my first time here. Tacos were so good, mango margarita was AMAZINGGGG, and I enjoyed their elotes.

Cool place to get some late night tacos and bourbon. The atmosphere is pretty chill with both indoor and outdoor seating. We had a couple tacos and a drink. The tacos come out pretty quick and were pretty good. They also have a great selection of bourbon.

I dream about the nachos from here. As a nacho connoisseur, I would say that Big Star’s nachos are the best in the country. So good that we flew from Columbia, SC to Chicago and made a special trip to Big Star for a nacho and a margarita. The drinks are on point, the staff are always so nice, and the vibe is super fun and cool. Tacos are excellent as well, but these nachos are fire 🔥 Definitely recommend.

Pricey, but delicious tacos! Great patio ambience and summer cocktails ☀️My boyfriend has celiac disease and we experienced a bit of inconsistency with staff training/knowledge about gluten-free offerings, but in the end, our server was super helpful! Dedicated gluten-free fryer for the chips and lots of gfree taco options (all have handmade corn tortillas).The Al Pastor taco was definitely our fav!

Solid location with plenty of space when I went. I wish the tacos were a little larger for their price, but the options were good and I enjoyed the service.

The micheladas were some of the best I’ve had and the tacos were awesome. A Chicago staple, would highly recommend if you have never been here.
