Madeline GullettAugust 18, 2014Tacos! Or course. They also have margaritas and vegan desserts. I absolutely love Flaco's tacos, they have great food and it's pretty cheap too! Right off the Chicago red line stop

Lainey CanevaroDecember 30, 2014Be on the lookout for their tacos of the week. Also, if you are a regular, sign up for their Flacos Fanaticos loyalty program and get $10 for every 100 points.
The taco specials are on point. I'm having the Ancho chicken one right now that is super good, and I had a barbacoa one a few weeks ago that I may have legit cried about
Sarah SSeptember 29, 2013Vegetable flaco bowl was incredible. The food was inexpensive, delicious and dare I say better than the likes of Moe's, Chipotle, and Qdoba.
Jeri ArizonaApril 10, 2012There is a chiropractor and massage therapist that work down stairs so be mindful when you move chairs and tables around. I can be seriously noisy downstairs.
Danielle T.August 21, 2013I've eaten here several times recently and the steak seems to be dry both here and the Printer's Row location. The chicken is fine though. Sad to see the quesadillas don't come with vegetables.
The steak and chicken tacos are both delicious. They're one of my favorite places for tacos!
Ann SSeptember 4, 2016Good dive Mexican place with reasonably priced drinks. Hibiscus margarita was yummy.
Ade ZambranoJune 29, 2011The small quesadillas are perfect size! Comes with sour cream and two spicy sauces! Great food. Made fresh! Gonna miss this place!
Kate AleksandrovaAugust 9, 2014If you happen to be there , don't leave without trying those fish tacos !
Tacos and tostadas were quite good and fresh. The rice and beans not so much.
- Manik RatheeJune 7, 2012I don't like Mexican food and I love Flaco's. Give em a shot - you won't be disappointed.
Tamales are awesome! As is the guacamole. Go on Sundays for $2 dos xx lager
Service has good down hill recently. Waited a long time for a to go order. Remember you can't call it "steak quesadillas" if there's barely any steak in it!- Some of the best mexican I've had in a long time. One of the best tamales I had ever!
Jonathan MendozaMarch 22, 2011A little expensive (similar to Chipotle), but definitely something to check out! Mmm... Cream cheese in burritos...- Mini burritos are really great! Mix up your choices between 3! All tasty!
I usually go for the daily special and I recommend you do the same!
Veggie nachos are the best value on the menu. Gigantic portion for only $6.95.
DavidOctober 7, 2012Love how I bought $45 worth of food and the waitress counts how many cokes we took like we were going to steal a can of coke
April HillerSeptember 6, 2013The chicken burrito was so bland that I had to leave a tip. hot sauce couldn't even rescue it.- Todd CarpenterApril 16, 2011The alpastor taco is decent. Thepollo taco is really bland. The chips are great!
DaveJanuary 5, 2013Rude and horrible customer service. Didn't get order right. When we asked regarding ingredients, they threw a menu at us. Glad I never come to this spot. Won't ever return.
The steak burrito is the best! With Horchata of course..
Danny HernandezSeptember 30, 2011The food here has gotten significantly worse. The steak was dry, the pastor was tasteless and the tamale was burnt. The lemonade was the only upside to this experience.
Stephanie MarieJanuary 28, 2012I guess it's crime to ask for a explanation of the menu. I received dirty looks.
