About El Tragón Taqueria
El Tragón Taqueria is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Chicago (60642), IL, independently run.
Diners rate it 4.7 out of 5 across 747 reviews. That rating, weighted by how many people left it, is what places it where it is in our Chicago ranking.
If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.
