" I had the pleasure of visiting Taqueria El Kacheton and I can safely say this is one of the most authentic places in Chicago! The tacos walked me down memory lane, bringing back flavors that reminded me of home. Recommend the tacos de cabeza – they're out of this world! The staff treated me like family, and I found the atmosphere both cozy and welcoming. If you're looking for a heartwarming meal, this is the place. Just remember to bring cash since they don't accept cards! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is simply amazing! I ordered their famous tacos and was blown away by the taste. The authentic recipes are clearly a labor of love, with every bite achieving that perfect balance of spices and freshness. The service was prompt and friendly, making the whole dining experience enjoyable. I do need to mention though that the restaurant is cash-only, which was a slight inconvenience but definitely worth it for the food. I will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I don't understand the hype around this restaurant. I was really excited to try the tacos after hearing so much. They were good but not as amazing as I expected. The flavors didn’t seem to pop as I had anticipated and the service was just okay. Maybe it was an off day? The atmosphere is nice but I feel like there are better options out there for Mexican food. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, one of the best Mexican spots I've had the pleasure to try. The food tastes so homemade and authentic, I felt like I was back visiting family in Mexico. Their birria was juicy and flavorful, definitely one of the highlights of my visit. I greatly appreciated the friendliness of the staff too; they were attentive, yet not overbearing. I will be recommending this place to anyone looking for an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best spot for authentic birria in the city! I’m so happy I found Taqueria El Kacheton! The portions are generous and the quality is outstanding! The staff is incredibly inviting, and I felt like part of the family. Plus, they offer a great selection of homemade salsas that really enhance the dining experience. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, very welcoming for everyone. Will definitely be back for another round soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria El Kacheton is like stepping into a hidden oasis of flavors! Every time I dine here, I'm taken back to my grandmother's kitchen. The handmade tortillas are incredible, and the tacos are perfection. The prices are also reasonable for the amount you get. It does get crowded, so be prepared to wait a little for a table, but the experience is worth it. I really enjoy the warmth of the staff as they make you feel right at home. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit, I tried their huarache and it was unlike anything I've had before! The combination of flavors was amazing; you could tell everything was made from scratch. The tortillas were absolutely delicious and added so much to my dining experience. The staff made me feel right at home, being both friendly and attentive. While there was a line, it was worth the wait. I’m definitely bringing my friends next time to share the goodness! " (*Curated Review*)
