I recently started a mission to find the best fish tacos in Lincoln Park, so where do I turn for advice? Unilocal!Of course. A search for fish tacos lead me to Grill in the Park. The last review was posted in October 2012. The reviews were mostly good so I decided to give them a try. It’s a gorgeous day so I walked all the way there from Armitage with my BF and my dog … only to find the place boarded up and OUTOFBUSINESS. WTH??? There was even a Mexican«Day of the Dead» skeleton in the window … HA! Stupid me, I should have called before I set out to find my fish taco nirvana. I’m asking Unilocal to mark this place as closed so nobody else foolishly heads out there. I gave this place only one star since you have to give it a rating but I realize it’s not fair to rate a place that doesn’t exist anymore.

Very tasty burgers and the tacos al pastor were delicious. Love the location, was a great way to get out of the hospital cafeteria while visiting family at St. Joseph’s.

Stopped in for a late afternoon snack after spending time at the Nature museum… The Al Pastor Tacos and Fish Tacos were a refreshing and tasty snack. Otherwise nothing extremely notable or worthy for an eager return.

A surprisingly great little spot to grab some grub after banging out a bucket of balls at the driving range. The fish tacos are very good — worth even just stopping by to enjoy the harbor view if you’re in the area. The façade was remodeled not long ago. I wouldn’t bother with the guacamole. Prices are reasonable and if it’s busy you may need to wait a bit because it’s not really staffed to handle lots of traffic. I’m OK waiting for those tacos!

I feel like this place is a little secluded from the main streets, and not a lot of people realize how close and convenient it is. Good place to stop before/after a walk through the park or to the waterside. Delicious hot dogs & chili dogs. Great place to rehydrate or grab an ice cream on a hot day.(I got their roast beef afterwards, disappointed to say it was subpar.) this place is also so close to my apartment as well as the 20 other high-rises by Sheridan/Surf — I’d be able to walk over here on the regular!

AMAZING, This place has the finest tacos I have ever tasted, everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. There is a wide selection on the menu and its prices are so reasonable as well as more than generous portions. It has a great atmosphere, always filled with people inside and out listening to the great music. I also have a soft spot for the sassy Irish red head behind the till

Great food, fun staff, and more than a snack bar. Love the music(great jazz singer and guitarist) and just hanging out there after the beach. It would be great if they had liquor. Try the fish tacos!

Over priced for starters, a hot dog and a drink 8.00, give me a break! Yeah the fish tacos are great, whatever.

The fish tacos are delicious! Make the trip here to sit in the sun, eat some fish tacos, and walk it off afterward(it’s right on the walking/running trails on Lake Shore Drive).

BEST tacos around! I love this place, it’s such a perfect place to get some food and sit outside. Really good location and they deliver to the boats which is awesome!

I love this place. I get so excited every time they re-open in the Spring. The fish tacos are awesome. I’m not sure what another reviewer is talking about when they say«thousand island dressing». It’s definitely not thousand island dressing. Oh well. Tomato /tornado I guess. :) This year, there’s a BBQ guy cooking up ribs, chicken, and sausage outside on the weekends. Those were delicious as well. To top it all of, he’s a really nice guy.

IT is almost summer, y’all! Time to work on your batting swing after a long bike ride. Stop here for some delicious food in a lovely setting on the lakefront. This place has great ribs, fish tacos and Don Sergio, the proprietor who understands great food. The perfect day is waiting…

Grill in the Park is the perfect place to enjoy GREAT food after hitting up the driving range or just hanging out around Lakeshore. Come by this weekend May 5th to help celebrate Cinco De Mayo with Live Music, BBQ, dos equis on tap, margaritas and the best tacos in town!

This place SUCKS. Great Location to stop for a sandwich or burger or taco during a walk through Lincoln Park or ride along the lake… but my advise is to keep walking to someplace else. Fish Tacos — $ 3.25…SMALL, hardly any fish, and is that thousand island dressing drenched all over the top? Chicken Strips — over cooked and over priced.

OVERPRICED!!! 1.75 for a piece of fruit? 6.00 for two tiny so called famous fish tacos? The only thing this place has going for it is the location. Cash only.
