Testimonials

On 6/14/2026 Marisela Garza had this to say:
Don Pez was for sure worth the long drive/traffic. The vibe and atmosphere were welcoming and enjoyable from the moment we walked in. We tried the pastor and veggie tacos, and both were incredibly flavorful and fresh. You can really taste the difference knowing everything is homemade.The staff provided outstanding customer service throughout our visit. They were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend Don Pez to anyone looking for great tacos and a great dining experience. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in Chicago!

Hands down the best tacos, service, and experience!! The amount of times I’ve ordered the quesabirria tacos or the signature pez-cado, it’s perfect every single time. No matter the dish, it’s an explosion of flavor and the margs are on point!! Highly recommend every single time!
