Texan Taco Bar is located in the heart of Chicago’s vibrant West Loop neighborhood, overlooking Randolph street with picturesque views of the downtown skyline from our open rooftop. We take pride in the quality of our service, ingredients, and consistency, whether that be one of our famous fresh-squeezed margaritas, our signature specialty tacos, or the TexMex favorites scratch-made in our kitchens every day.

    We want to thank the blonde waiter who's name I've forgotten, he was very helpful all evening! They could just serve the food a bit later 🥹😂

    The hostest kicked us out of our table when we were wrapping up and yelled at us saying we never sat there and that the table was now reserved. It was a very weird experience at the end but the server was awesome and the food was good!

    Did the job we expected it to. We had a large party so I could not go over the itemized receipt until after and saw we were overcharged for drinks we didn’t receive but not significantly. Several drinks never came and several of the wrong drinks came. Granted, a large party is difficult to handle, service was subpar and drinks were average. The environment and experience is probably the best part. A little disappointed overall though for spending over a thousand dollars with the amount of people we had.

    Great happy hour with amazing prices and portions. Was a little too loud but the food made up for it.

    The food was good and they were able to accommodate our large party. The server wasn’t very knowledgeable about the menu and was unable to answer a lot of my questions

    Bad service, mediocre food When we arrived, we went upstairs to the rooftop patio. It is SO LOUD. Blasting music and packed with people talking/playing games - not the atmosphere for a casual patio dinner. We instead got seated on the downstairs outdoor patio (overlooking the street). We were so far away from the restaurant entrance that we felt neglected. We waited half an hour to be waited on. Service was horrendously slow. We went inside and asked to be reseated inside where we would actually be served. The manager (apologetically) thanked us for our patience and took our drink orders right away. After that…we got asked for our drink orders twice again. Service was terribly disorganized and we could see the waitresses & manager literally discussing our table from a few feet away. The bus staff was also wandering aimlessly throughout the bar the whole time - way more frequently than the wait staff, the bus boys hovered like mosquitoes and it was honestly a little distracting and odd to see them out and about wiping the same table every 15 minutes. Once we ordered, the service was quick and the food was decent. Not anything special - not fantastic but not awful. We paid an exorbitant amount (almost $90) for two drinks, chips and guac, and five tacos. They did offer us free dessert in apology, which was nice. The only reason I would return is for a huge happy hour party on the rooftop; it is a nice event space. For a restaurant…do not recommend.

    The hostesses were rude. They were not coordinated on which table I had whether down or upstairs so we had to pass along messages between the hostess on both floors and finally got seated at a table smaller than what I had asked for with my party size. The server was great, he was very attentive despite how busy the night was and made sure my guests still had food at the late hour and checked on us constantly for drinks.

    Great place to celebrate a birthday! Loved the margaritas and tacos. The service was great and lots of fun energy in the restaurant. We'll be back.
