The service is always fast and easy, and I like going when I can't decide what else to eat. With that said the tacos al pastor aren't my favorite ones in the city but their asada is pretty good and they are a nice size to get you full. I'm a big pastor girl which is why I mentioned it but everything else here is good! I love their rice and horchata. It's never to crazy busy when I go so it's easy to get a seat and eat peacefully. Usually a blend of people in here and that is what I love about Chicago taquerias, everyone is welcome and very one enjoys the good taco vibes ‍ Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Vibes: 8/10

Staff were friendly, tacos were good and all had unique flavor and meat was cooked perfectly.

Spectacular gimme 14 of them! This place is a classic and old school taco spot and they do it right. No frills, cash only. The Al pastor tacos and the tacos Atotonilco are both delish. If you're feeling saucy get a banana shake with it!

Really tasty food. My husband's work friend has been raving about this place so we picked up lunch there last Sunday. Most people were taking their food to go but there is some seating if that's your preference. Other yelpers recommended the al pastor tacos so we ordered those, carne asada tacos, chicken tacos, and a barbacoa torta. The carne asada tacos could have used some seasoning but everything else was delicious. We'll be back. No pictures this time, I was starving!

It was my first time checking out the Pilsen area since moving to Chicago. My friends and I decided to grab some tacos at Taqueria Atotonilco and I'm so glad we did! The first thing to note is that it's a cash-only spot, but they conveniently have an ATM inside, so it wasn't an issue. The interior is spacious, with plenty of seating, including booths and tables, and even public bathrooms. It's a great place to sit down and enjoy your meal if you're not taking it to go. The menu offers a wide variety of tacos, all reasonably priced at around $4 each. I went with three tacos: the Al Pastor (which a friend recommended as their specialty), the beef taco, and the chorizo taco. While all of them were delicious and had that authentic Mexican flavor, the beef taco was my favorite. The quality and taste really stood out and came with cheese which I really liked. Service was excellent! Our food came out in under five minutes, and our server was super attentive, bringing us extra hot sauce and a large bottle of salsa verde. They even brought our sodas directly to the table, which was a nice touch. Overall, I had an amazing experience at Taqueria Atotonilco. It's the perfect spot for some quick, delicious tacos, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in Pilsen! Highly recommend for authentic, flavorful tacos at a great price.

Cash only, delicious and authentic. The tacos are priced on the higher end but come with an overload of meats inside - especially the al pastor (biggest winner of them all). The steak taco is a bit dry, but topped off with the salsa tasty as well. The service is quite transactional but definitely fast. If you're into tortas, the al pastor and milanese are great too.

Cash Only! Man oh man, some of thee best tacos I've had in Chicago. I haven't stop thinking about them since having them. We ordered 3 tacos with rice & beans and a Birria Torta. There was not one bad thing that we ate that experience. The tacos are almost $5 each so that was something new to me... but i could see why they charge that much. Not the biggest fan of paying that much for a taco but it was my first time & I wanted the experience. Good service & quick & easy. We are already planning our next time to be back. Since I've gone a week ago, I've already told 5+ people about this place. If you've never been, I highly recommend. Even if you have to travel out of your way for this place. Thank you Atotonilco, we will be back soon! Personal Review: 8.9/10

Cash only establishment but so worth it, the tacos were fresh and delicious, the service was quick and nice and we were able to sit down and eat in a good ambiance. The only thing I didn't like was that they charged $2+ for a tiny bit of crema and tbh I think they only did that to us bc we were tourists. Either way, the food was delicious so def recommend!
