Best Tacos Restaurants in Avondale

La Catrina is a sit-down Mexican restaurant in the Diversey corridor known for birria, lengua, and other taco plates paired with strong margaritas. The room leans colorful and lively rather than hushed, making it a neighborhood choice when you want a full dinner built around tacos and shared appetizers.

Taqueria Mazamitla in Avondale is a family-run spot known for extra-crispy al pastor, well-charred steak, and a long menu of classic Mexican plates. The room is casual and often buzzing, with complimentary chips and salsa and daily specials that keep regulars coming back.

Tacos Tequilas is a lively Avondale cantina where a long tequila list meets a broad menu of tacos, fajitas, and combo plates. It’s used as much for margarita-heavy group dinners as for straightforward taco runs.

Spicy Taco is a compact counter-service shop on Milwaukee where cochinita pibil, al pastor, and other fillings are handled with more care than the unassuming storefront suggests. It’s geared toward quick meals but still delivers layered flavors and thoughtful salsas.
