Taco Burrito King: Chicago's Premier Fast Casual Mexican Food

Taco Burrito King (http://www.tacoburritoking.com/) got its start when Carolos Lamas decided to open a burrito shop on Harlem and Belmont and was joined by his brother Uriel Lamas who then went and blossomed the business that resulted in the growth of more stores. Taco Burrito King is completely family owned.

The inspiration for their menu is authentic Mexican food and all the recipes are from the Lamas family. Their Touhy location is opened seven days a week, twenty four hours a day and the drive thru is open from 6am to 4am.

They have a wonderful website which is available for ordering and browsing.

Taco Burrito King does do catering such as weddings and baptisms and are available to do any occasions. They also cater office parties.

The quality and taste of their products is very important and the food is made fresh daily. They manufacture their own chorizo which has a lot of different spices.

Taco Burrito King offers good food and fast service and is kept in wonderful condition. The tables, floors and kitchen were very very clean.

I had the pleasure of sampling the quacamole which was chunky and refreshing. The avocados, tomatoes, cilantro and chips were very fresh and authentic.

The combination plate included one taco and I choose the pork taco, a tamale and a quesadilla which were all very authentic well cooked, tender, well seasoned and a delight with the tomato, lettuce and sour cream that accompanied it in addition to rice and beans.

The Flauta plate included three chicken flautas and included, rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.

The Rice and beans are not your typical Mexican Rice and beans. The Lamas have really put alot of work into fixing two very delicate and well done traditional Mexican side dishes. The prices are very reasonable and it's a wdonerful visit.
