La Cebollita

Best tacos in Chicago I've ever tasted.

I've been going there for almost 2 decades and the quality of food and service is always great. All my fellow co-workers frequent this place!

La Cebollita is the perfect spot to start your day, and my experience there was absolutely amazing. I ordered two al pastor sopes, and they were a total game-changer. The sopes arrived golden and crispy, with the edges perfectly crunchy while the center held all the vibrant flavors. The corn base was soft but sturdy, providing the ideal foundation for everything that followed. Topped with a layer of creamy beans and melted cheese, each bite started with a rich, comforting base that made the sopes feel so satisfying. The al pastor was the true star. The meat was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection. Each bite released a savory, slightly smoky flavor, with the seasoning coming through beautifully. Hidden in the background of each bite was a subtle sweetness from the pineapple, which added a perfect balance to the richness of the pork. The sopes were topped with crisp lettuce and fresh tomato, bringing a refreshing contrast to the warm, savory ingredients. A generous drizzle of homemade salsa added a bit of heat, complementing the flavors without overpowering them. The combination of creamy beans, melty cheese, fresh veggies, and the rich al pastor was a symphony of textures and flavors that made each bite a joy. This meal was a great way to start my morning, leaving me completely satisfied. La Cebollita's al pastor sopes are an absolute must-try, and I’ll definitely be back for more!

Great breakfast for two under 20 after an early MDW flight. Tamale was amazing. Sope was tasty. Coffee swept the cobwebs. Gracias for being there.

The food is good my menudo not the best but ok.. my torta cubana is more chorizo but ok I like the prices better the rest of places around like the service

La Cebollita never disappoints! I got the Carne en su Jugo, and it was absolutely delicious perfectly seasoned, tender beef in a rich broth with crispy bacon and fresh cilantro. It’s the kind of meal that warms you up and keeps you coming back for more. Plus, I love stopping by in the morning to grab their homemade tamales before school they’re always fresh, soft, and full of flavor. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in Chicago, this is the spot!!

Great tacos! Portions are good steak and pastor are amazing and salsas are flavorful with perfect amount of heat. Agua de Jamaica was perfect!
