Atotonilco Tortilleria No 2

This is my go to torta place. Their tortas are the bomb. Tacos so so. I have another place for tacos. Place is like a little hole in the wall but like I said my go to torta place. They also make tasty milkshakes that I love! and orange juice is freshly squeezed! They do not accept cards, cash only.

Never again! came here just because Pacos tacos closed earlier, I rather of went home and ate cereal this place is straight trash, Taco meat was bland, Milk shake was just like a chocolate milk no thickness to it at all and way way to sweet, the tortilla was not fully warmed up, cold tortilla are disgusting! wasn’t even busy so these cooks just don’t care, I asked for cilantro and onion on my tacos they came back with discolored lettuce and soggy ass tomatoes on my tacos, these people just don’t care… GARBAGE!

Not very clean. Steak tacos were undercooked and bland. Don’t bother eating here. Go somewhere else.

I have eaten thousands of tacos in my 38 years of living. I must say that the tacos from here are absolutely unequivocally the best I have ever had in my life. My father first introduced me to this taqueria when I was 8 years old and I have been coming ever since. I recently went here with some of my colleagues who never been here before and they were amazed by the tacos al pastor. I do not know what it is about their al pastor but it literally is «hands-​down» phenomenal. The meat is so succulent and the tortillas are fresh because the tortilleria is literally next door to the restaurant. You are basically receiving homemade tortillas on the spot. To wash down the fantastic taco, order a fresh liquado in which you can select from any of their fresh fruits and watch them make it on the spot. I always go with their strawberry one. I give this place a 4.5÷5. The ½ point loss is due the need for a facelift. This place is a gold mind and I always wondered why the owners never really upgraded their tables, seats, or overall appearance. It is literally been the same for 30 years, but then again that is also part of the appeal. The first bite of their Taco Al Pastor will transcend you to heaven! Just ask my colleagues they literally said, «Wow, I’m ordering more!»

I been coming to this atotonilco for years. We get the best service here. The tacos are very delicious. They have the best Menudo in Chicago land. The tortas are the best.
I love their milk shakes. My favorite is el chocomilk with cinnamon yum delicious.
I know the streets or roads are horrible and need major repair but it is worth the trip to see Beto the cashier. He makes the most the best delicious shakes.

My coworkers treated me to the milanesa torta and an horchata for my birthday. I love this place. Great staff, awesome food and around the corner from my job.

This place is the greatest taco joint in all of Chicago! The taco al pastor is very delicious and I can’t get enough of it. I’ve been coming to atotonilco for 14 years and I am always satisfied after eating one of those incredible tacos with a nice strawberry milkshake. Staff are nice people and do an exceptional job always. Could use a nice clean up but taking your food to go is always an option.

Not bad, but wouldn’t recommend it. Food takes long to arrive and is plain. Meat is dry and no flavor!

Average at best. The torta I had had a few pieces of carne asada. Totally unacceptable. It was bland. Not the standard quality from this establishment. The meat quality is not what it used to be and there’s a better option down the street that’s amazing.

I live on the north side of chicago and have traveled to the hood to eat at this place. My boyfriend and I come here for the tacos. They’re just sooooo good and it’s made fresh. The servers and staff seem nice. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the restaurant can be a bit dirty. I don’t mind «hole in the wall» restaurants but you still have to keep your business clean. And they could use new chairs and upholstery. But if you do venture out to this place, the tacos are soooo delicious :)

I’ve been to Atotonilco in the past, a different location however.
The food was standard, there wasn’t anything special about it. My main gripe, and the reason for the low rating, is because of how dirty the place was. The bathroom was disgusting, there was no soap or paper towels. There were dirty dishes piled up in view of the dining area.
Our server was extremely nice and attentive & I saw that the entire staff was the same way — the cooks, cashier, even the random man in the back that was sweeping away.
All in all, if they get their act together, I’ll return.

Sauced carrot and rice water is good. The taco and sandwich is too ordinary, it’s ok, not wow. The grill pork taco is $ 2.50, the beef sandwich is $ 5, the small rice water is $ 1.5.

I will never eat here again. The food was horrible, I ordered torta de milanesa and the meat was re cooked. Seriously? The meat was so hard I had to throw the torta away, which was very hard for me to do because I usually eat everything in my plate and then some.

I have been going to this place since I was a child and this is the only taco place that never disappoints! The tacos are always stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat and the tortillas slighty have a delicious crisp. I always get a chocomilk liquado! Mmmmm for the people talking about no rice and beans its a taco joint not a restaurant, the menus are on the wall! A lot of taco places don’t serve rice and beans. Although i think their sister one on 26^th does. No atm, no problem, the meal is like 5 bucks, and they have an atm. The atm is in spanish? Of course, when almost every single person in the mexican meighborhood speaks spanish as a first language, i wonder if you will have the same complaint in Mexico. Always a tummy pleaser and guaranteed pocket pleaser! If your looking for a great taco cooked in just a few minutes and don’t mind paying cash then I’m sure this is it!

I came here once and won’t be coming back. I got a steak torta with a side of rice and beans… or so I thought. I got home and there was only a torta in the bag, and while it was a nice size, it was flavorless. I checked my receipt to make sure I was charged correctly, and I was only charged for the torta luckily. I called and asked about rice and beans and apparently they don’t have any? Huh? Aren’t you a Mexican restaurant? Okay… I guess. I would’ve thought they would have told me that when I requested it and proceeded to pay. Speaking of paying this is a cash only place from what I recall. The ATM they have is only in Spanish so luckily I’m half Hispanic and know enough Spanish to make things work.
Overall, it was just too mediocre for me to want to give it another go. I’ll spend my money somewhere else.

i have been eating at ‘tonocs for over 20 years.
this is not somewhere to go if you’re looking for a fine dining experience. this is the place to go for fresh hot food, priced reasonably.
i am a fan of their carne asada tacos — fat and gristle free! love it. i can’t count the number of places i’ve gone to in the city where i’ve gotten less than stellar carne. i am hardly a meat whore, so when i do order it i expect it to be delicious and gristle free!
i always get mine loaded w/​onions and lettuce, w/​crema on the side. their crema is the best. i have never had a bad experience w/​it.
and don’t forget the carrots — fresh, crunchy, yum! i don’t know if the jicama is a new thing for them, or it was just that long since i’ve gone, but they do this right.
back in the late 80’s this was the place to go after clubbing. i imagine it’s still the place to be.
oh, and don’t forget the horchata! it’s FRESH. fresh made. not a mix! love it!

Good Authentic Taco Joint in «Back of Yards» Hood! They bring fresh «Carrots & Peppers» to the table when you sit down. Just had tacos but the Al Pastor was phenomenal as well as the Carne Asada! Saw some Torta’s going to other tables and they looked amazing! Will def be back to try some of the other offerings/​service was good as well! gtfjd

We were passing by and decided to stop in and eat. I’ve heard so much about their al pastor.
I opted for two al pastor tacos and a strawberry banana shake. I have to say I was not impressed. It was different, but I’ve definitely had better. The shake was fine.
My guy got the steak torta and said he’s had better.
My guy said the one on 26^th is better. Will have to give that one a try.
The place was clean and they have camera monitors for the parking lot.

I’ve officially found my new taco shop on the Southside. I got a taco al pastor and a taco barbacoa (which was spicy!) at a reasonable price. They were quick, food was still hot when I got back to the office, and the portions were healthy. I’ll have to try the fresh fruit bar next. The free lot on the side of the building helped me get in and out.
It’s a humble location, but the food is definitely worth it.

Best. Steak. Tacos.
Pickled carrots pair nicely with steak tacos with onion/​cilantro/​lime… Fast and friendly service. You can see them make your food at their open grill right at front. Strawberry shakes are awesome.
Definitely one of my favorite local Mexican spots. Absolutely a regular favorite!
