Pinches tacos están bien deliciosos. El servicio perrón. Está bien limpio el lugar y la carne Suavecita. Usan unas tortillas bien ricas. Lo recomiendo al 100. Aquí cúrense la cruda y cómanse unos ocho tacos como yo.

Drunk finna get tacos. Let's see whats to it. Will update. Update: they decent. Doing the job but will I make a whole move to come back for these? Nah. The people was nice tho! Update part two: the chicken taco I had when I got home tho? Fye. The chicken alone is worth the trip. Sometimes some places have good steak and not so great chicken, vice versa. This is one of em. Whatever you do, get chicken not steak.

While driving down W Cermak Rd towards Western Ave I spotted Raymond's Tacos off to my right hand side. I am one that loves to bookmark any restaurant I come across when I get the chance, so I pulled in the nearest parking lot to bookmark it as well as take a look at their menu. Craving taco asada at the time, I have to say that it was a picture of the al pastor taco shared by Yelper - Diana J that really built that interest to visit the day of my discovery. If not for the plain, yet eye-catching orange banner with Raymond's Tacos listed on it, I would have driven right passed this restaurant. Options for parking are street parking w/ meter or within the neighborhood. With neighborhood parking I recommend being cautious of where you park because some portions of the street require a permit to park. Parking outside of the restaurant there is metered parking available for like one vehicle depending on its size. The rest of the space is part of the bus stop (Cermak & Washtenaw), a tow zone for vehicles other than a bus. I almost went for a spot within the neighborhood because parking along W Cermak Rd within a short radius of the restaurant is frustrating. But I remembered a time I got a ticket for parking on a street requiring a permit which gave me the courage to go for a spot along W Cermak Rd. Though Pan American Bank, the bank next door has a spacious yet empty parking lot, I would not recommend parking in it because there just may be someone waiting to make that call for your vehicle to be towed. For covid 19 precautions, wearing a mask is required to enter. Dine-in is prohibited, but there is the option for ordering takeout like the majority of the restaurants throughout the city. With dine-in being prohibited, there were no seats or tables in their dining area. And furthermore, there is a plastic shield that prevents employee to customer contact. As for my order I ordered a taco asada and a al pastor taco w/ a squirt which I already had in mind before I stepped foot in the door. My order was completed within a reasonable timeframe. Thank goodness because I kept checking on my vehicle because I parked alongside the bank on W Cermak Rd. Nowhere near a meter, I kept thinking that I would get a ticket or maybe a boot on my tire because I did not purchase a parking ticket for my brief visit. Those damn tacos smelled so good! I just wanted to pull over or in a parking lot and just devour them both, but for the goodness of Yelp, I just had to get a quality picture of my order to share. Comparing the two tacos, I have to say that I loved the taco asada which had a more flavorsome taste to it in comparison to the al pastor taco, but both did not disappoint. All in all, a pleasant ordering experience with Raymond's Tacos. I most definitely would not hesitate on visiting again while in the Little Village area. I have also noted another location near my neighborhood that sits a little over a mile away. ~Blessing~ Thomas G

Im sitting here with leftovers for 2 days, due to the prices being so fair I figured the portions were smaller- not the case. Apart from the food being incredible, you can tell by the packaging even (excess napkins, salsa for days) that guest satisfaction is priority here. Loved! (I've never written a Yelp review, but needed to for how good this is/was/will be)

There's nothing healthy about these tacos and I'm completely okay with that. This place is more intimate. I always take my order to go. It puts me in the mind of a staple neighborhood diner. Tacos are made to order but the meat is precooked. The soft shells are double layered with a slice of American cheese in between. Ask for queso blanco if that's your preference. It's available but it isn't on the menu. The burritos, tortas, and tacos are really good. They're all I've tried here and I don't have any complaints. Sour cream is extra. There's usually always a wait of some kind. I recommend calling in advance.

My one and only affordable ribeye taco joint. Meats are evenly seasoned and cooked in perfect temp. Good meat portions. The Original location - Raymond's No. 1. CHEESE ADD-IN -- in tacos, it is placed in between the tortillas. My first. Impressed. Cheese choices are: white (the chihuahua) or yellow (American). HORCHATA -- decent with a good price. VENUE -- superbly clean. SERVICE -- counter service. The Guapos are busy, informative, good at what they do, in a chilax vibe.
