" I can't stop thinking about the tacos from Tacos '76! They are such a flavorful treat, perhaps one of the best I’ve ever had in Oak Park. The atmosphere is great, with a clean and friendly feel. The only downside was that it was quite busy when I visited and there was a bit of a wait. However, I strongly believe the food was worth it and I would certainly recommend it to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" My trip to Tacos '76 was filled with joy and plenty of delicious food. I took my friends along, and we all ordered different items to share. The tacos were fantastic, especially the al pastor, which was flavorful and juicy. The staff were friendly and accommodating as we requested recommendations. We indulged in the churros for dessert, and they were heavenly! A perfect end to our meal. The venue is clean, bright, and gives off such a good vibe. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu—this place is now one of our favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, Tacos '76 is the place to be! I had an amazing meal that included enchiladas and tacos, and everything was flavorful. The portions could be a bit bigger, but I didn't mind since the overall taste was delightful. The place was lively and had an exciting vibe. The staff was friendly and very attentive, which always enhances the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos '76 has a great vibe, and the tacos are to die for. We ordered a mix of everything, but the quesabirria stood out as a favorite! I came on a Sunday afternoon, and although it was busy, we were seated quickly. The staff was friendly though they could improve on speed. The restaurant was clean, and you could tell they take pride in their food prep. Would recommend to others for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Tacos '76 and walked away feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. The food lacked the punch of flavor I expected; the chicken tacos were average at best. The decor is nice, and the ambiance is cozy, but for the price, I anticipated more exciting flavors. Maybe it was an off day, I might come back in the hopes of a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos '76 has quickly become one of my favorite taco stops in the area! The quesabirrias are out of this world—cheesy and packed with flavor! The atmosphere is very laid-back, ideal for casual outings with friends. However, there was a bit of a hiccup with my order, as it took longer than expected to arrive. Despite that, I appreciate the staff trying their best during busy hours, and I received a free drink as an apology. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience and will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos '76 feeling optimistic but left feeling disappointed. The initial impressions were good—the place was clean, and the staff were friendly. I ordered the chicken tacos expecting a burst of flavor but instead found them bland and somewhat dry. The salsa, which is usually the highlight, was also underwhelming. I had assumed I was getting authentic Mexican food but felt it fell short in taste. I may give it another try, but I'm not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)
