   Service was poor and it was too loud. We waited 20 minutes to be even greeted, three tables around us got there after us and got service before us. I let the Waitress know most important thing you could do is get drinks right away for everybody and buy yourself a little time people won’t be as frustrated then to wait a little to take your order. Won’t go back

   Food was amazing! Shrimp tacos and brisket tacos. Excellent margaritas! Ended our meal with piping hot churros! Service was outstanding. Our server was Jonathan and he was the best! The manager was great too…kept checking on us. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back.

    When we arrived, they sat us at a booth in the back of the restaurant and the smell from the bathrooms were overwhelming, not in a good way. They did move us after we asked and sat at a high top booth towards the front of the restaurant. The drinks took a little while to get to our table but they were good. Carne asada and al pastor tacos were the best, the chicken taco was a little dry and the shrimp didn’t have much flavor. The guacamole was a home run. A group of 4 guys and 3 girls were watching the Bulls game, the guys were very loud and obnoxious yelling at the tv and being overly rowdy. It would have been nice for the staff to step in and ask them not to disrupt other guests.

    We came on $2 taco night and the food was good. Salsa was pretty watery and tasteless but everything else was tasty. The music was incredibly loud! So hard to carry on a conversation.

    We were stopping to get some dinner before our flight. We had an amazing experience. This place had the best reviews out of all the other restaurants during this time. After walking in it was clear why it had the best reviews. The decor inside made the wife happy because she could take a picture for Instagram. With our reservation we were seated right away. Our waiter greeted us with a smile and showed us how to find the menu. He gave all of his recommendations which were spot on. The wait for our food was literally less than 10 minutes! When the food came out it was delicious. So many flavors bursting in my food mouth made my tummy so happy 😅😊. The vibes inside were just right. A mixed crowd full of eccentric people. We will definitely visit this place again when we come to Chicago. Go Packers Go, Go Brewers Go 😅

    The oh my cod tacos were sooooo good! The place was very busy, they seemed short staffed but handled all the tables VERY well. All of the staff were really friendly and attentive. A little loud, but worked really well for our quick dinner before a show nearby!

    If you're in search of great service and mid-quality bar food, this is your place. Service was excellent and speedy. Margaritas were top-notch. If you want healthy food and quiet ambiance, look elsewhere.

    Went for drinks and seen a rat in the dinning area. I was shocked when the waitress said sometimes this happens when the door is open. The fact she alluded to this happing regularly is alarming! I’m actually kind of sad because I used to like this place but now all I will be thinking about is the rat 🤨🥲

    Broken English Taco Pub was a perfect follow up to a show at the Chicago Theatre. It was within easy walking distance and the restaurant had a casual but energetic atmosphere. The taco platter option provided a nice variety at a very reasonable price (for the area). Solid beverage selection as well. Highly recommended.

    Street tacos are becoming more commonplace so good riddance to the days of Taco Bell tacos. These are not the traditional Mexican street tacos but a kind of Tex-Mex Americanized tacos. They are really good! My wife and I split the brisket and the carne asada tacos. Both were outstanding although the carne asada seemed more like barbacoa. The only other thing to remember is if you have a bigger appetite I'm not sure if two tacos will be enough. Street tacos tend to be on the smaller side so for a normal appetite, three should be enough. Either that or load up on chips and salsa... Otherwise, we really enjoyed our time there before a show at the Chicago Theater.
