Great food and vibe at this popular spot. Walking Taco is amazing as is the guacamole. Paloma's very good there. Great music and a good people watching spot. I would highly recommend going. Also coming to Wrigkeyvile in April!
I grew up on tacos and my family makes our own tortillas. Big Star has the best tortillas I've ever had, the tacos are GREAT as is the staff and space. I highly recommend a visit. Or ten.
Love this place! Great staff and those breakfast 🌮 Tacos! Chorizo!! Simply the best. Many thank you’s! See you next Sunday.
We come here often because the atmosphere is chill and fun. The best tacos in town and I know a few Mexican restaurant. The Michelada is really good to. Good selection of mezcal which one of my favorites.
If you are in Chicago this a must go place!! Food is amazing and drinks are strong!! Love the variety of the food.
BEST tacos, hands down.
Worth the four hour and fifteen minute drive 🌮🌮🌮😍
This is a must eat when in Chicago.
Best tacos �, best vibe in town.
Every time I come to Chicago I try to come here.

The Best Bar Downtown Chicago , the Food the Drinks & the Bartenders are Awesome ����
Being from Texas, Big Star offers a modern twist on authentic Mexican flavors. I absolutely love coming here when I’m in Chicago!
Cool place to get some late night tacos and bourbon. The atmosphere is pretty chill with both indoor and outdoor seating. We had a couple tacos and a drink. The tacos come out pretty quick and were pretty good. They also have a great selection of bourbon.
literally zero complaints about this place. came here solely because they are dog-friendly (thank you!) and I wanted to go out with my family but couldn’t leave pup at home. my dog was acting up at first, unfortunately, but they still accommodated us and we were seated fine. had multiple kids with us and they have a free kids menu (quesadillas & nachos!) very very good. I got the nachos and my mom got street tacos. the guac was fire! def rec!
Came on a Saturday night with a friend, it was packed but lovely. We say inside since the outdoor patio was loud. Music was a bit loud inside but the waiter was very nice and helpful as this was my first time here. Tacos were so good, mango margarita was AMAZINGGGG, and I enjoyed their elotes.
I dream about the nachos from here. As a nacho connoisseur, I would say that Big Star’s nachos are the best in the country. So good that we flew from Columbia, SC to Chicago and made a special trip to Big Star for a nacho and a margarita. The drinks are on point, the staff are always so nice, and the vibe is super fun and cool. Tacos are excellent as well, but these nachos are fire 🔥 Definitely recommend.
Pricey, but delicious tacos! Great patio ambience and summer cocktails ☀️My boyfriend has celiac disease and we experienced a bit of inconsistency with staff training/knowledge about gluten-free offerings, but in the end, our server was super helpful! Dedicated gluten-free fryer for the chips and lots of gfree taco options (all have handmade corn tortillas).The Al Pastor taco was definitely our fav!
Great food, fast service, nice hospitality, chill vibes. One of the best patios in wicker park and dog friendly too! Reservations and walk-ins welcome.

Solid location with plenty of space when I went. I wish the tacos were a little larger for their price, but the options were good and I enjoyed the service.
Best Mexican in town. Tacos are around $5 each. Specifically shrimp and barbacoa beef tacos are strongly recommended. Happy hour 4-6pm (Sunday-thursday). Every Tuesday Buy 5 tacos, get 1 free.
Overall 5 Stars for the entire experience, there's no special drinks or anything memorable about "drinking at big star". Vegan and vegetarian food options are 10/10 however, I can appreciate when a place has options especially in modern and trendy Wicker Park. Fish tacos are fire!!! The outdoor patio is definitely a vibe during the summer. To-go margaritas and drinks at the window are way too expensive be for real. Service is decent, nice and efficient!
The micheladas were some of the best I’ve had and the tacos were awesome. A Chicago staple, would highly recommend if you have never been here.
A great place to come with friends and sit outdoors in the summer! The tacos are tasty with a lot of different varieties - I especially recommend the pork belly one. The service is good as well - the waitress took the time to understand what types of beer we liked and recommended some and was very accommodating when my friend didn’t like one of the suggestions. There is also a to-go kiosk if you cannot get a reservation or are in a rush with chairs and tables to eat at.
Cute patio, good tacos, ceviche, street corn and strong margaritas.
The service is particularly fast. The waiters are attentive and their tacos are great.
Food was amazing but I did find a hair in my taco last night. 😞 (I'm a dirty blonde and it was a dark long hair so I know it wasn't mine).
Posting a pic I took before eating the tacos, beautifully displayed.
