“ This is one of the better burritos I’ve had, especially in Chicago. 13 for something that keeps you full all day is unbeatable. It has everything I wanted and was so good. The interior was nice with all the spanish music and decor. ”

“ Taco Lulu is a unique spot in downtown Chicago, standing out with its authentic Mexican look and inviting atmosphere. The moment you step in, the vibrant colors, traditional decor, and the aroma of sizzling meat transport you straight to the streets of Mexico. But as charming as the place is, the real star here is the food. I ordered three tacos de arrachera, and they were exactly what my body needed on a Friday night. Each taco came fully loaded, wrapped in two warm, soft corn tortillas that held everything together beautifully. The arrachera was juicy and packed with rich, smoky flavors, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char. There was a subtle crispiness to the edges of the meat, adding an incredible texture to every bite. The toppings complemented the steak flawlessly, fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a hint of lime, bringing balance to the deep umami of the meat. But the real magic happened when I added their salsa. It had a nice kick, just enough heat to wake up the senses without overpowering the flavors. The spice tied everything together, elevating the already delicious tacos into an unforgettable experience. Each bite was pure happiness, the kind of food that satisfies not just hunger but the soul. If you're in downtown Chicago craving authentic Mexican street-style tacos, Taco Lulu is a must-visit. The flavors, textures, and that perfect salsa heat make for an unbeatable taco experience. ”
“ I’m embarrassed I’ve lived down the street for almost 4 years and this is my first time in. Although, it’s a place I’ve always thought about walking past. Don’t make my mistake. Head to LuLu’s where I can confidently you’re good ordering anything on the menu. (** we had steak nachos. 8.5/10, very go-to meal, a children’s chicken quesadilla which went untouched for all of 5 min before I decimated it and began wondering why I didn’t order one myself) ”
“ I love when you find authentic Mexican food in the middle of downtown, it’s like finding gold on the beach. I will be coming back for more and going thru their menu list but this is definitely the spot to go for Mexican food if you’re in the area ”
“ I had a truly amazing experience! The service was great, the staff was super friendly and all the food came out super fast. The portions were more than generous and the quality of ingredients was top notch. The restaurant itself was great too with good music! I would recommend to anybody in the area looking to have a great eating experience. As a bonus we were lucky to meet Lulu (the owner ). ”

“ I have passed by this place a few times within this month. So yesterday when my mom and I passed by we just so happened to find a parking spot! Scoreeee! We went in... Taco Lulu's was jumping! We came around lunch time so it was soo busy and they also had a big delivery headed out too. They make your order fast! It's a no frills joint but they do it right!!! You go to cashier place your order and wait for them to call your number. After your number is called and you get your food then you head over to the other side to be seated. My mom and I wanted Enchiladas with mole sauce but they didn't carry it. We were bummed a little but Taco Lulu has burritos, tacos, fajitas, nachos etc. Tangent..Someone walked past me after I ordered with the most delicious looking chicken taco salad that have seen in a minute!!! So anyway we each ordered Steak Nachos with everything add guacamole and a peach margarita on the rocks. It was very affordable! I was bummed when the cashier said that they didn't use Chihuahua cheese for the nachos but ordered anyway and was surprised at how good it was. My mom thought the margarita was too sweet and the nice owner brought her another on the house. I enjoyed mine. It could have a splash more alcohol but it was a nice size about 10-12 ounces for 11! That's a steal of a deal! My nachos were massive and well executed. The queso sauce that was used was very tasty. It didn't have that cheap velveeta flavor at all. I noticed the tacos looked very fresh and delicious as well. I met the owner Mike who was there bussing tables, making margaritas and being very polite. He said he named his restaurant after his cute dog Lulu! So precious! I will totally return!!! **each table had green and red salsa that was just taken out of the fridge. I could tell because the bottles were cold. I appreciate that extra step! Plenty of places just let the salsa sit out, never refrigerate and become a cess pool! ”
