Taqueria Mazamitla

Very good tacos. The meat was cut finely and the salsa was very good.

My friend lives down the street, and we wanted to get some tacos. So we found this place in Unilocal,and decided to battle the cold to try it out. Best decision we made al night. I got the pork and she got the steak tacos and they were delicious! I wish they delivered because I don’t live close by! The staff was also friendly and the food came out really quickly!

This is a great place! No frills, quick service, good, hot food, and it’s BYOB. It’s coincidentally a few blocks from our home, so that’s nice, but I didn’t increase my rating due to closeness. It’s open really late so whenever friends are over and want some late night food, this always fits the bill. Prices are very affordable, in line with the Avondale neighborhood. There’s a bus stop right near the door as well, making it easy to get to and from if you’re on Belmont Ave.

Ambience was not there. They have boxes, disorganized, on top of the cooler which is at the edge of the seating area. There were at least 10 people in the dining room who seem to be having a good time. I had the chicken taco dinner, without beans, and the best part was the rice. The spices used on the Chicken I did not like. The service was just ok. I’m in no hurry to return.

I ordered the two taco plate. I had the tongue tacos & they were made so well! Tongue was cooked just right, ingredients were fresh and tasty. The flavors just all burst in my mouth in perfect harmony of deliciousness. The rice and beans were off the wall. I’m so glad I live close by, I’m going to have to stop by here more often!!!

I like this place they have some good food for a great price. The steak is really good. My husband loves there burritos.

Tacos are outstanding. Service is fast. Very inexpensive, big portions, great refried beans. Soups are great too. Not many better tacos in Chicago, especially at this price range.

The absolutely BEST burrito vegetariano in Chicago, it includes avocado and cilantro, and everything is just the perfect mixture of yummy. I’m addicted to this place! I will go out of my way to stop here when I’m craving delicious mexican food!

Their salsa is just *killing* it. Everything is delicious, but they’re doing something bewitching with their salsa. There’s red onion and cilantro and all kinds of colors and seeds floating in there, and I could just drink it straight.

Clean place, standard Menu. The veggie tacos are above average. My to go orders are always correct.

We’ve been here over 5x now for dine-​in and take out. I always get the tacos — al pastor and chicken are my favorites. The staff here is great and the service is spot on. Highly recommend.

We had a parillada steak shrimp and chicken… make your own fajita style. pretty good overall
yeah I come here again

I recently moved right down the block and boy am I grateful this place is on the corner!
I’ll keep it short and sweet.
Their food is great, their portions are generous, and their prices are LOW!
Ask for a chicken quesadilla. Trust me on this. They’re great and bigger than your face!
Special shout out to the guac. You’d think it would be difficult to mess up simple guac but believe me, many restaurants manage to do it. Their guac is simple, tasty, and very cheap!
A reason why I am not giving a star is because although their waitresses are very nice, I have to ask for napkins and water refills almost every time I go.

Very good! The last thing I expected to find in Chicago was good Mexican food. It was spectacular! I had flautas and real rice and amazing chips and guacamole. If you’re ever in the area and want authentic Mexican – this is the place!

I like this place. Some say its cheap, I would say it costs money but you get more for your money then the place in the supermarcado joint a block away, hence why my wife and I come here regularly for food.
I think they do allot of carryout.
They don’t sell liquor and I am not sure how BYOB works as I always come with kids with the objective of eating and not hanging out. I don’t think I have ever seen the place empty so that says something.

Very tasty and fresh Mexican food ! Prices are very good too. I had their steak with grilled onion and jalapeño. They serve their main meals with beans, salad and rice ! Not forgetting the warm tortilla ! You really can’t go wrong, their pastor and steak tacos are out of this world ! So happy to have them in the neighborhood !

I live a block away from this establishment and let me just say… it’s an amazing place.
1. BYOB
2. Authentic tasty food
3. Cheap and affordable
4. Free chips and salsa
5. Excellent service
My first experience here, I was craving something unique and not on the menu. I really missed home (LA) and asked them to make a California burrito for me. For those of you who don’t know, a California burrito is a burrito with carne asada, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese and FRENCH FRIES! They happily put the french fries into my burrito and I quickly devoured my burrito in pure bliss.
The following times that I went I tried items like Menudo, Pozole, the Tampiquena dinner. All equally delicious and tasty.
Feels like a family owned joint. The staff were super friendly and attentive. They even entertained the fact that I tried to speak spanish to them all.

I came here for quick bite with my friend.
They don’t have the largest menu, but the food is hot fresh and delicious.
Free chips and salsa when eating. Chips were super crispy and salsa was fresh.
I ordered the large horchata in a to go cup, which was freaking huge, at least 32 oz of horchata and so sweet and creamy. It was one of the creamiest horchatas I have ever had. I also ordered a lengua burrito, the burrito was a decent size, not as big as Chipotle’s but I could still only finish half and was already full.
Lengua was tender and chewy, the green spicy sauce that they have is pretty spicy and tasted so good on each bite of burrito.
$ 10 with tax and tip!
Alot of people also order food to — go, so I will probably do that next time if I don’t feel like dining in.

This place is a gem in the Avondale neighborhood.
Classic place where most of the regulars are all from right around the corner.
Some say it’s their preferred taqueria in the whole city. Tacos and burritos are all on point and genuine.
I live a few doors away and I come here multiple times a week. The food has always been consistent and is always better then before. Seems to be family owned and operated.
The service is great. They’ve gotten to know me and always welcome me in with a smile. The food is also prepared very well and pretty quickly. You’ll never have to worry about waiting for your tacos. It’s byob so that’s pretty cool, I take advantage of that everyday
Definitely would recommend this place even if you’re out of the city, it could be worth it.

I came here a couple of times. The steak and raja gorditas I had were generously filled and very tasty. My friend had the chille relleno plate which was quite reasonably priced and generously portioned.
I was hungry for an afternoon snack and came back a week later for a chile relleno taco. It turns out that they fried the pepper and cut it in half. It was delicious, but charging two bucks for half a chile relleno was a bit much though. What happened to other half? No one else was in the restaurant, and I would hope that they wouldn’t just reheat it for the next customer who ordered a taco.
