Tacombi - Fulton Market

“I have been coming to this spot on Tuesdays (buy 1 get 1 free tacos) and other occasions and it never disappoints. The shrimp and Baja fish are easily my top two favorites, always fresh and full of flavor. They offer a rewards program and you can also use the InKind app which is a nice bonus. The staff is wonderful and create a consistently welcoming and upbeat vibe. The food is always fresh and it has become a favorite not just for me but for my family and friends as well. They have all fallen in love with this place. Customer service here is exceptional every time. My go to drink is the Sandis Santa. It is a must have for me on every visit. I also love the elote, it is so good. Street parking is available which makes it convenient. Highly recommend checking this spot out”

“The tacos here are great, especially the birria taco it was absolutely perfect! The guacamole was also fantastic. The only thing I noticed was that they seemed a bit short-staffed, but the quality of the food definitely made it worth the visit.”

“If you are taking on a Mexico City themed taqueria, you NEED to have at the very least the signature al pastor thinly sliced off the trompo with a red sauce. There was an offensively large piece of pineapple in my pastor taco. I did not order a pineapple taco. Traditionally, I would’ve liked a small piece of pineapple with thinly sliced pastor with the crispy edges. That being said, my taco wasn’t terrible, I just expected a Mexico City pastor taco…which I was looking forward to. I know you can’t please everyone, but when you are taking the decor that far into the theme, your customer is going to expect that level of authenticity from your food. My carne asada taco was good. The flavors were there and the tortillas did not taste like preservatives. I would reccomend they double layer their tortillas on the chicken tinga tacos, as no one likes to have their taco break apart on them. The salsas were good and their spice levels were as described. We ordered chips and salsa and the waiter brought a very small container (which looked like a salsa bowl) of chips. Could’ve been less than 10 chips. The chips were flavorful and warm. Overall, the food was decent. I wouldn’t find myself going out of my way to revisit.”

“Date of Review: 08/25/2025 Time of Review: 05:47PM Location of Review: Tacombi; West Loop Location Overall Review: FOOD/TASTE= Red and Green Salsa> B, the red was somewhat spice and the green salsa was reminiscent of indian style mint chutney Corn & Esquites> A $4.88 Corn cut from the cob, topped with cotija cheese, homemade morita mayo, chile powder and fresh lime – and it’s all served in a cup. Contains Dairy, Contains Wheat or Gluten Creamy and buttery with a sweet and salt contrast. Nothing need esle needed. Rice & Beans> A $5.48 Traditional Mexican arroz verde served with beans cooked with tomatillo, epazote and poblano pepper, topped Buttery and warm. Not bad at all. Baja Crispy Fish Taco>B $7.98 Voted “Absolute Best Fish Taco” by New York Mag. Beer-battered North Atlantic cod topped with pico de gallo and homemade roasted poblano mayo. Now comes with pickled cabbage. Beef Birria Taco>B $7.48 The Famous Taco from Jalisco! A taco with Chihuahua cheese, served with a consomé for dipping and sipping! A savory, sweet & slightly spicy Mexican flavor from tender, braised brisket in chiles, garlic, herbs & spices. Crispy Chicken Tinga Taco>C $6.98 ¡NUEVO! Free-range chicken tinga and crispy thigh served with escabeche, spicy habanero crema on two freshly pressed, red guajillo tortillas. Flavors and textures components were balanced, however, the shredded chicken was dry, consider stewing/steeping shredded cooked meat using a ban marie method with flavoring broth to maintain moisture as well as reinforce flavor. Blue Moon and Agaua ATMOSPHERE = A Clean, vibrant with a nice latin Caribbean fusion music selection. SERVICE = A Server knew her stuff. Very hospitable and friendly. Even suggested a few off menu items. Returning: Definitely Final words: Tacombi has made its mark on the west loop corridor. The menu selections definitely took you back to that authentic mexico city street taco vibe. Service was great and atmosphere was clean and vibrant with nice music selections.”

“Bland and not filling. Trying too hard to mimic a taco stand from Mexico, but the food doesn’t come close in taste, and the salsas aren’t nearly spicy enough. I had three tacos: the pastor isn’t even close to a real one from Mexico—restaurants should really call it what it is, marinated pork. The beef ribeye was another disappointment: two thin slices of ham-like ribeye, resembling Arby’s, just a bit crispier. And finally, the birria—another letdown. Cheese in it?! Consomé served in a cup that makes it hard to dip the taco. “Burritas”? Clever name, but these are not typical of a taco stand in Mexico. If anything, they should be offering tortas. Drinks seemed fine, but bad food does not entice you to drink. A disappointing experience — I will not eat here again.”
