Taqueria El Heredero - Chicago

This place is a cool chill spot to hang out with friends and the food is decent. The main reason i gave it 3 starts was because I ordered the skillet and hoped to kick up my dish with some homemade spicy salsa but they had nothing spicy! The waitress tried her best to find me something spicy but each time it was just too mild for my liking. If you don't care about salsa and peppers in Mexican food.....then you'll probably like this place more than I did. But the staff was awesome and the atmosphere is great.

My love and I recently enjoyed dining at Taqueria El Heredero on Armitage. We were there for dinner on a Saturday, and unless that was a special occurrence, they do NOT close at 5PM on a Saturday as indicated on Yelp. I wish we knew what the actual hours are, as it would be unfortunate if the restaurant was missing out on dinner customers because of the early listed closing time online.We sat at booth number one and enjoyed looking at the retro decor throughout the restaurant. Service was pleasant enough, and we were pleased to get a carafe of water and some tortilla chips during our meal. My quesabirria dinner consisted of three tacos with consommé, rice and beans. It was a messy, hearty and tasty meal, and I saved one of the three tacos as leftovers. My love enjoyed her mixed fajita plate with shrimp and beef, along with rice and beans, salad with a generous dollop of avocado, and a bunch of corn tortillas. She had leftovers too, but while the good stuff stayed good (shrimp and beef), the tortillas were too rubbery the second time around. So eat your tortillas when you get 'em!

Pastor tacos are too tier; burritos are much larger than other places and they offer a mixed option (half pastor, half asada)

This place is great! The tacos and the TORTA DE CHILAQUILES!!!! I've never seen that anywhere so I had to try it. So good!

This is the best Mexican restaurant in Chicago! The owners are present, providing excellent customer service, and the food is absolutely delicious.
