Our Guestbook
“ There is new ownership and a new name - El Bosque taqueria. The woman behind the counter said that the food won't change much. The pollo entero was still very good. ”
“ The food was delicious! We had the Oaxaca tamale and the tlayuda! I have never had a tlayuda but it was delicious. Super affordable food and big portions. I highly recommend. ”
“ I always leave here filled up and face painted because I can't help but inhale the food. Get the pastor and watch how quickly you have a decorated face. You can have napkins right there man you won't care you'll just keep guzzling. ”
“ I absentmindedly forgot to leave a tip for the very kind waitress here and I feel terrible about it, so I'm leaving them a well-deserved good review at least! This was the first tlayuda of my life and it was a memorable experience. The most exciting feature is the tortilla itself, which is cracker-thin but slightly pliable and pleasantly charred on the bottom. It's a totally different texture/flavor from other "tortilla-bottom" Mexican dishes (sopes, huaraches, etc.). I got a vegetarian "mixto" with mushrooms and squash blossoms, and the other toppings were abundant too: refried beans (the base),cabbage, avocado, tomatoes, etc. It was healthy, filling, fresh, fun to eat, and fairly priced (two or three people could easily split one $16-$18 tlayuda). And how many other Oaxacan tlayuda specialists are in town? Recommended! ”
“ Excellent place. We had one steak Gordita and two tlayudas. A tlayuda is sort of a 14 inch tostada or Mexican pizza. They come in a pizza box. I put a photo in with a ruler for context. There is a crispy tortilla, with a layer of beans, with shredded cabbage and cheese, and other toppings on top. We loved it and would definitely eat here again. Two people could probably split one tlayuda. The pastor is marinated and very tasty. The steak and chicken are less seasoned and more plain, but still good. The menu changed some time around 10/1/21 and a few items were removed and added. I uploaded the current menu as of 11/1/21. ”
“ I don't even know where to begin Stopped in with my mom and we were both blown away! We ordered a shrimp taco, taco al pastor and a Tlayuda 1/2 Flor de calabaza and carne asada. It is about the size of a medium pizza! Very crispy and flavorful! The tacos we good but the Tlayudas are why you go here. We could not finish it but looking forward to the leftovers for the next day! One of the servers was telling on Sunday's they make mole de Oaxaca and other specials. For sure will come back to try that along with other items on the menu. The decor is rustic modern, tables are spaced and servers are following COVID precautions. I started recommending this place to family and friends as soon as I took my first bite! I highly recommend you stop by and have this experience. I can almost guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised! ”
“ New favorite! Looking to go out for a lunch meal - out and about as we are full vaxed and have done 4 inside dining's during the year. And it was so great - obviously made fresh ingredients, sauces are so delicious- including the mole. Breakfast served all day. Spotless and staff really warm and great. Our new pick up or dine in. Recommend!! ”
“ We first picked up lunch here because we were driving by and caught the sign that said tlayudas. Oaxacan food is not the norm around here so we jumped at the chance. What a find! The tlayudas are amazing. Fresh and perfectly prepared. The chorizo is especially delicious. Since it's huge (HUGE) I recommend having a leftover slice for breakfast the next morning. Their grilled chicken is easily the best I've had in Chicago. Last time they gave us a couple of free tamales (Oaxacan style, wrapped in banana leaf) That was some smart marketing because now we're hooked on those too. Service is always very friendly and accommodating. I don't live in the neighborhood, but this place is really worth going out of the way to pick up an excellent dinner. The hardest part is deciding what to get and when to stop eating. ”
“ Freshness, flavor, reasonable price, really good protein options, great portion, defenally recommended. You like authentic Mexican food this is the spot. ”
