Taco Diablo - Evanston, Illinois

Delicious food! Taco Diablo was a much better choice than the restaurant upstairs which was way too loud, crowded, and uncomfortable. Also, the flight of stairs to get to the top restaurant was dimly lit with no traction on the steps. Definitely not accessible to people with limited mobility. At Taco Diablo the atmosphere here was very relaxed and the servers were very respectful and professional- which was an upgrade from the place upstairs. Entrance is right off the street. Super inviting with lots of interesting lighting fixtures, unique decor, and artistic touches. Exposed high ceilings. Curved upholstered booths and large round tables can seat up to six guests maybe more. Regular tables are available too. The bar was interesting and had nice lighting too. Attentive service. Highly recommend the three taco dinners. Each one was delicious and bursting with unique flavors. The sides are apparently family style but surprisingly appeared to be more for a single person. My only suggestion would be to make the appropriate adjustments so that customers can have their own sides as opposed to having to share small servings.

Not your basic tacos. The tacos are small because they come with unique ingredients. The drinks were good, and the service was nice. Check them out if your in Evanston.

Amazing place to eat and socialize! Decoration was warm and the lights were dim which gave me a cozy yet somewhat romantic vibe.
Food was delicious and well presented. Tacos were a must try. Lots of variety to choose. Chips and salsa were tasty and warm. OG margarita was the bomb, So good and strong.
Service- top notch! The waiter (we didnt get his name) but so friendly and attentive.
Highly recommended! Will be my regular spot for Mexican cravings.

Classic taco spot with the best margarita in Evanston. Been going to TD since before it burned down across the street.

Warm chips & salsa are on point.

Pro tip for lunch for two—order one taco dinner & one more taco a la carte.

All tacos were flavorful and made with fresh ingredients. Recommended.

Great Taco restaurant! Outstanding tacos, delicious food. Great atmosphere. We found parking easily.
I love the sign at the bar:” Hell is empty. The devils are all here” ?
Great service by the way!

Slight wait to get in but totally worth it! Ben is one of the most outstanding waiters I have ever had! Reasonably priced. I recommend the Mezcal Flight and the Elote.

Honestly the food here is overrated. Our server never checked in on us, so we waited a long time to even have our order placed. Considering that the tacos were $18, the portion sizes of both the tacos and rice/beans were incredibly small. The tacos and all of their salsas lacked flavor and spice, which makes me wonder where the restaurant gets it’s “Diablo” name. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, find somewhere less expensive and with more authentic food.

My friends and I came here for a mini celebration. The decor was nice, the lighting was dim. They had another floor upstairs but that wasn’t as nice as the first floor. The service was very accommodating. As for the food, most of us got the tacos. They were good but not delicious. They definitely needed more sauce to moisten them a bit because they were dry, in my opinion. The dessert though was delicious. We all enjoyed it. Overall, it was a great night!!
