Taqueria El Meson

Freshly prepared guacamole made right in front of us and it was outstanding. Ginormous steak burrito was out standing and my girlfriend had the tostasdas and they were very good. Service was friendly even though we don’t speak Spanish.

This place has really been upgrading. Their menu and food is much better from what I recall a couple years back. Their «caporal» gorditas/​quesadillas are great! Hot sauces and drinks are good as well! Glad to see this joint doing better!

One star because I can’t give zero. This place is atrocious. Order the taco dinner. First my chips had a long black hair in it. Than when I got my tacos… one of my tacos sour cream had a beard hair on it. Disgusting. This place obviously lacks hygiene. Skip this place. Not coming back.
Ps. My piña colada tastes like milk and liquor they obviously didn’t mix well, and did not use the correct ingredients.

Great Mexican food a little pricey but they make up with the taste. I fell in love with there chicken flautas and shrimp cocktail. Shrimp was fresh and not precooked rubber. The only problem is when they are full the wait time for your food is ridiculous.

Their gorditas especiales are really good.
They have a shredded beef (desebrada) one with chipotle or some kind of red sauce that is amazing. The alambre one is good too. That’s all I’ve really tried from here and keep going back for the same thing.

Amazing tacos and salsas!!! It’s open late at night super convenient when you get midnight munchies!

This is a good place to go to at night when everyone’s closed. I am not crazy about their food. It isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

It was okay the chilaquiles Rojas with a small steak where not good and if you get it with egg you pay 3.00 extra for the eggs on top of the 9.99 so it not one of mt fav

I had tacos de asada and they were great but their service was okay not the best

Walked in for food… waited 28 minutes for 2 tacos, 2 gorditas and guacamole. The food was less than mediocre. Severs were rude and dismissive when asking about our food order. Would not recommend!

I started coming here back when I was living in Lyons (2001 – 2007). I always got the same dish every time I went (3 taco dinner). I always got that because it seemed so simple to get. At the time, don’t know how it is now, it was decently priced and, it was good!!! The one good memory of that place was back in October 2003. Cubs just was the Divisional part of the playoff and were heading to the NLCS. after the game, family and friends and I were leaving and as I waited in the car a drunk dude was walking down the sidewalk, drunk, and cheering on how the Cubs won. I got to say, it’s something I can talk about for a long time. It’s been over 7 years since I’ve been there, but if I ever visit Cicero again, I’ll get my family members and go there again.

If I could give it no stars I would. Waitresses are rude. Especially one that is usually in the register. I think shes the owner or something since shes the only one not in uniform. Food is not good. This has got to be one of the worst Mexican restaurants in Chicago it is not worth your money.

I ordered the Chilaquiles con Huevos «Verdes o Rojos». The menu description is «Your choice of eggs over sliced corn tortilla and topped with our Green or Red sauce, …»
When it came there were no eggs. We flagged down the waitress and asked and she said it didn’t come with eggs. But she would get an egg or meat or something else to put on it if I wanted. Asked again, she said it does not come with eggs.
It wasn’t until leaving that I saw the menu and description.
Not cool. Not cool.

Went here with my mother and my sisters for a Sunday morning breakfast. We have been to PLENTY of places like this but my mom’s friend swore by the food.
We get there and seat ourselves and a waitress promptly comes by. Granted we are all latinas however, it is obvious that spanish is a little complicated for my sisters and I. My mom had to order for more than half the table. I’ve been to places where the servers speak mostly spanish, however, they at least try to make it easier for non-​spanish speakers. This one didnt. Slightly awkward.
We waited a bit to get our food. I would say that it was on par with the other taquerias we have been too. Down side, my mom had to ask a completely different waitress to bring tortillas since our waitress was no where to be found. We also had to ask yet ANOTHER waitress to bring waters for the table. Our waitress didnt come by until we needed a box for the rest of our food.
I had a steak torta which was well cooked. However, they just piled it on and I had to eat the majority of my torta with a fork off of my plate. We were almost done with our food by the time by mom got her tortillas to eat her meal. My sister ordered a chocolate liquado. It was EXTREMELY chocolatey to the point where it was a little over bearing.
I would go here again but not on the regular. The service is horrible and the food is just ok.

I Watched a waitress drop the lid to the chiles, then with out cleaning the lid placed it back on the chile. Not clean or acceptable.

This place isn’t the most ground breaking/​earth shattering place on earth, but I keep coming back. They have a decent variety of food and are open late.

Love going to this place they have really good tacos and it’s always worth the stop. Be sure to swing by and give it a try.

Food here is kind of so so. I like the Cheese Quesadilla with Chorizo, the gorditas and some of their tacos. I still go there once in a while. The place is not very clean at times. So bring some hand sanitizer people!

Well, my boyfriend swore up and down about this place and I just wasn’t that impressed with it to be honest.
I’ve eaten plenty a taco in my day and these just didn’t do anything for me. I ordered a torta de milanesa (it was my cheat meal!) and an agua de horchata. We also ordered the chips and guac to go with our meal.
The torta was just ok. It needs that special combination of sour cream, beans, and avocado to make it magical and this just didn’t have it. The guac was fine but overpriced for a mexican restaurant. The horchata. Oh boy. Tasted like a packet of horchata mix mixed with water. Yuk!
We’ll probably be back because he’s such a fan but I’m just not that into it. Head over to El Faro in Little Village or Aguascalientes for some good mexican fare instead.

I give them one star, because I can’t give them a 0!!! My husband and me when to eat there because was the 4^th of July and nothing were open. These are our complains, my husband asked for a beer and they served warm! when he asked if they can change it for another, the waitress said very rude, Oh well if you want an other beer you have to pay for it. OMG we did. We ordered tacos, and the meat was grease old and cold, and we ended being sick. Never going back!
Le doy una estrella por que no le puedo dar cero! mi esposo y yo comimos en este lugar por que era el cuatro de julio y todo estaba cerrado. Mi esposo ordeno una cerveza y la trajeron tibia!!! cuando mi esposo le pregunto a la mesera que si la podían cambiar por otra, ella muy grosera le contesto: pues si ordena otra la va a tener que pagar, OH DIOS! al fin la termino ordenando. Total comimos tacos, lo cual la carne estaba vieja, grasosa y fría… Terminamos enfermos del estomago! Jamas regresaremos ahí!!!
