Price and Value

Pros:

• "Cheap, unless you want to pay 4.25 for a Mexican Coke because you like being ripped off for being a hipster."
• "Prices are a little steep for a taco ($5-$6) but it's quality and I will gladly pay for that over a cheaper fatty cut of meat."

• "Delicious and a little bit more expensive than your average taco place but still affordable and absolutely worth it."

Cons:

• "Pricey but delicious tacos."
• "Too expensive and not worth it."
• "Is the food good? Yeah. Do I feel good taking two bites of a taco for >$5? Not really."
• "They were expensive due to the small portion they give you, for example a taco (4-5 dlls)."
• "Number one is just the name of it. Super expensive for the quality and taste of what are you getting for your money."
• "All in all I would come here again, but there are better spots in the area I would probably go to first for tacos that are better and less expensive."

• "Great atmosphere with other people eating while we all stand."

Cons:

• "The music is horrible and you have to shout to be heard."
• "The music is wayyyyyy too loud."
• "The atmosphere at Los Tacos is loud, chaotic and really is a grab and go taco place."
• "There is nowhere to sit, and the tables to eat standing are always full, so if you plan to go after long walks don't expect to eat and rest sitting down."

• "However, if you’re looking for some authentic Mexican food, I would definitely hit up Roosevelt Ave instead."
