Tried Simon tacos at the recommendation of a friend. It was very clean, and we loved the walls and restaurant set up. The workers were friendly and personable. The Torta Al pastor may have been the best I've ever had! Great, fresh, tasty ingredients. I was only able to finish half. My husband didn't love his burrito, he didn't realize it only came with cilantro and onions, he would have liked it better with beans, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes instead. Overall, it was a good visit. We would go back to try more and order the burrito the way he likes it.

In my humble opinion, Simon Tacos are the best in the area. Cilantro, onion, meat, done deal! I've been eating here since it was La Palapita...the delicious but now defunct taco hut that was the dump of all dumps. I believe the smaller Palapita on Elston has recently closed as well. Im glad the new owners decided to keep the same vibe (complimentary oily chips, same menu and quality products) but cleaned it up. I no longer need an H1N1 booster when dining here compared to its predecessor! lol. The tacos are fire! The tortas are legit! The service is quick. The space is clean! Love that it's family owned and how everyone takes pride in the space. It's really a 5-star joint! But I dinged them a star because it's a tad pricey. The other day I picked up 4 tacos, carne asada with cheese to bring to my parents and the bill before tip was just shy of $20. Can't really blame them in today's overpriced society. But $20 for just 4 (albeit amazing) tacos is just too much to make me a regular. Moreso, I'll remain an ever-so-often indulger. Lastly, I'm not particularly fond of the tip feature on their POS machine. I preferred the tin can beside the register to give change or a buck or two. It's not table-side service, and it's family owned...no need to have 25 percent tip as an option for dining in or heaven forbid...taking out! Otherwise, 5 stars without chipping a nail! Great business for the area.

This is our go to for tacos- it's always fresh. Service is fast. When the weather is nice they have an outdoor space to enjoy!

I think this is my new favorite spot. The cashiers were friendly (we made two separate simultaneous orders since there were 6 of us ), cooks were quick, the place was clean and they have good music playing! I really liked my tostada de camarón y taco al pastor I usually take pictures of my food but I was starving so I guess I'll post those next time

The veggie tacos are great, guac, grilled onions and peppers, rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes. So good.

Service was very nice and fast, and the restaurant is clean and theres outdoor seating. The tacos are loaded up with meat and the tortillas were perfect. I have trouble finding al pastor tacos I like and this place had awesome Al Pastor. This is my new taco spot in the neoghborhood. I wish I took a picture of my food but I ate it way too quickly!

This was our second visit to Simon tacos. The first was many years ago, relatively soon after they opened. But recently, at least I think recently, there was a remodel to the exterior which enticed me to go back in. Wow, what a nice surprise it was this visit. fFrst and foremost the staff was unbelievably friendly and kind and helpful. I ordered a three taco plate and mixed my selections to the shrimp, chorizo and El Pastor. I am not sure what order I went in when eating my three tacos, but it seemed it went from savory all the way up to spicy and enough where I had to order a second Horchata to cool my pallet. The flavors were outstanding and the spice level was just perfect although as per before mentioned, I did need to get some cooling with a second drink, but that's because my gringo tastebuds are very immature to the flavors and spices of Mexican cuisine. Come hungry. Portions are large and prices were reasonable. We will be back.

I've been to this restaurant several times. They are actually my preferred go-to for tacos. I mostly get the shrimp tacos, but the chicken tacos are also good. The guacamole hits the spot. At some point, I will try some of the other menu items.

I found this place when I dropped off food from my side hustle at a business close by. I walked in and noticed that the place was really clean. Murals on the walls were colorful and showed lots of love for Chicago. The guy behind the counter was friendly and greeted me. I ordered the Super Burrito dinner. It came with rice and beans and a super packed and tasty carne asada burrito. You can choose your own protein. I was offered chips and salsa while my food was being made. It was a great way to taste the red and green salsa. The salsa were on the creamy side. The red salsa is my favorite with a little smoky flavor. The rice had flavor, where many other places are not as flavorful. The bean were creamy and rich almost buttery like. Yum!! The burrito had guacamole, onions, lettuce, cilantro, sour cream, beans, and tomatoes. I might be missing something. The burrito was made perfectly, I was able to get all the items in one bite. I was so full, I had to get a box for the rest of my food.
