We've been back three times since our first visit. My go to order is 3 tacos Al pastor, carne asada, shrimp and a cocktail. This weekend it was the pina colada and holy sh*t it was good
Stepping into Taquería Durango, you're immediately enveloped by a chill and welcoming vibe that feels like a home away from home. The cozy ambiance, complemented by friendly staff and vibrant decor, sets the perfect scene for a laid-back dining experience. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy some seriously good food. This being my first time being here i decided to keep it simple and traditional, I ordered two Asada tacos and two Al Pastor tacos, and let me tell you, each bite was a flavor explosion. The Asada tacos were packed with juicy, perfectly seasoned grilled beef that had just the right amount of char. The Al Pastor tacos, on the other hand, featured tender, marinated pork with a hint of sweetness and spice, enhanced by the pineapple bits that added a delightful tang. What really took these tacos to the next level were the homemade salsas. Each one was bursting with fresh, bold flavors that complemented the meats beautifully. Whether it was the smoky chipotle salsa or the tangy verde, every bite was a harmonious blend of taste and texture that left me wanting more. I enthusiastically recommend Taquería Durango. The flavors, the atmosphere, and the overall experience were all top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back for more!
I really enjoy the chilaquiles here with eggs over medium. This dish is delicious. The green salsa is amazing and they make the best eggs just right. I also like unit their Barbacoa tacos, which I believe are only offered on Sundays. They sell out pretty early so you have to get them asap on Sundays. Sometimes the cashiers are nice and sometimes they aren't so nice. That's my only qualm with this place. Otherwise, very good and fast.
This place Amazing food always fresh And delicious and never a Long wait till whenever I crave tacos I always recommend Durango
While visiting my Grandparents' old house in Blue Island, a 20-year local there told us to try this Taqueria, calling it "the 3rd best one in all of Chicago" (after ones on something like 47th and 18th Streets, in the city). We must agree! What a STELLAR surprise find. We really live sopes, which are hard to find (in SoCal), and these were the BEST we've ever had. Fast service. Plus we got tacos to go for my MIL, and all if the food together for the 3 of our lunches was under $20! WHAT?! WOW!! This was the best surprise of that trip. We'll be back!!!
I just ate here for the first time in probably a decade or more. Although I remembered it being good I was almost hesitant to try it due to the reviews on here. This is a good example of why I try to remember that the bulk of people who are compelled to write a review are unreasonable and have some kind of axe to grind so unless most of the reviews are negative it's usually worth trying yourself. It's definitely not deserving of any of the reviews on here below 2 stars. The food is fairly good. Not amazing by any means but better than average. And it is certainly quite authentic unless you specify in your order that you want it in a more American style. The service was normal. The place is big and clean and has adequate parking. The prices are very reasonable. There is literally nothing to complain about. There's also nothing to rave positively about. But at the end of the day I would eat here again and that says something.
Here is the best Mexican place in Blue Island. It can seem a lot of these kind of places are ramshackle, but this is like fine dining compared to a few of these that are nearby. Taqueria Durango is the best, especially true for vegetarians. Has a few healthy choices. You can get real margaritas and good shit beyond just tacos. Came in with a female friend. It was getting into the evening hours. That meant it was time for some happy hour specials. Both of us got margaritas. It's $9 at the normal price. These were a little bit less for the happy hour though. Has a few flavors to choose from. I had mango. She had pineapple. Also the food is very good. We both had a Vegetarian Torta. It's about $6 for a pretty big one. This comes with avocado, beans, cheese, lettuce, rice, sour cream, and tomatoes. Vegans leave off the dairy, and it will be good too. I liked mine a lot. The same thing for hers and she ate it like a pig. Good stuff to drink and eat. It has real tasting authentic margaritas. The tortas ate my favorite and they can make these for vegans and vegetarians.
