Tortas Locas — Restaurant in Elk Grove Township

I’m from the south side. Never been in this area. So I had to check out some north side tacos. The reviews from here are from years ago so I thought maybe I’d give this place a shot. It was junky, and ratty inside. But I didn’t care cause that’s usually those spots have the best tacos. The tacos were 5 dollars per taco 🤯 The taco dinner was 16 dollars!!!! I was thinking these must be the best tacos how expensive they are. My favorite part is the attitude I immediately got from the twin behind the counter. She had the worst attitude, and was being sassy, to the point I almost walked out. And I really should have. But I was thinking maybe these are some really good tacos for the attitude I’m getting. I shoulda have left. My food came out hot! A plus. But My food was nasty. Beans were watery, The rice was dried out and plain. The tacos!!!! The tortillas weren’t fresh. The tacos had so much fat in them. I constantly had to spit out a piece of fat. There was no seasoning on the meat. No flavor no salt. Best part is the sauce they gave me was slightly opened and spilled all over the bottom of my bag. Which I do kinda feel like it was done on purpose. I wasn’t even given salsa verde. And them tacos need salsa so bad. After my couple of bites and I couldn’t take it anymore, my stomach was upset. I was so gassy. Bleh 🤢 What’s more upsetting was there was about 7 different taco places on the street, let alone there was 3 different taco places in the parking lot. Waste of my money.

If you come to south side you get rice beans and 3 tacos, with Escabeche, green and red salsa. For 12 dollars and you get all that with no attitude from some young twins...

It breaks my heart to post a 1-star review for a mom and pop shop but it’s warranted unfortunately in this case.

The problem started from the moment we arrived at the restaurant, the lady running the front end as the waiter/register wasn’t wearing a mask. She would go from table to table without wearing one or by the registers when ringing out customers.

Next problem was the food, again falling on the same lady. Never wrote our order down, causing lots of mistakes on our orders. I asked for my torta to have no beans or no ice on my horchata... yet still got it like that. Another friend asked for chicken and got carne asada again.

Unfortunately, this place has lost my business and we will not...

The food it's great, you gotta try their whole Pollo adobado it's delicious and comes with sides of rice and ranchero beans but be aware they don't like you to ask for chiles curtidos side They said the 2onces of chiles is "EXTRA. They won't charge you but they sure will make faces... I told the lady il be more then happy to pay for it all I wanted to do is enjoy my chicken with some of those Rajas. Their staff suck. They always confuse and acting like wiping off a table is more important then taking care of the customers, Service was slow They don't really care about your experience dining with theme just having the tables spic and span I guess. Oh well Great food no so...
