“ What a fantastic gem in Little Village! I went to Taquerías Atotonilco for dinner with a friend today, and I have to say, it was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the steak torta, and let me tell you it was hands down the best torta I’ve had in a long time. The bread was fresh and perfectly toasted, and I was really impressed to see they include an entire avocado in the sandwich—no shortcuts here! But the star of the show was the Carne Asada. The steak was incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. Every bite had just the right balance of seasoning and freshness. From one to ten, this sandwich was a solid 10. The service was just as impressive. The servers were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself was spotless very clean and welcoming. I also appreciated being able to watch the kitchen at work; you could tell everything was made fresh and with care. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, this spot is a must try. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! ”

“ These have to be the best quality tacos from morning to late night, you can not go wrong coming to this taco spot! The quality of the meat is top tier. It's soft, great flavor and authentic. I got the asada tacos and my friend got al pastor. The tortas are just as great. But the drinks, horchata is amazing. The milkshakes are a must and the fresh squeezed juice is incredible. Definitely go check this spot out when you're in town! ”
“ This is a no frills Mexican barrio restaurant. The the help is skilled, focused and efficient; the food comes out hot, fast and delicious. The menu is simple on purpose that's because they only do a few things. But they do them with Zen like precision and care. Atoto-Nil-Co is known for their tortas the bread is truly sublime! Pro tip! If you have still have room get a milkshake. Your choice of fruit, cinnamon, brown sugar, milk and Ice. Simplicity is the ultimate sofistication. -Leonardo da Vinci ”
“ First time in Chicago and I had heard we should go to this place for tacos. It was amazing I had the pastor/pork tacos they are freshly cooked on the rotator. The meal comes with a complementary salad that they are known for. I had also a papaya con leche which was also freshly made there. 2 Tacos was just the right amount for me. Great service and I would come again. If you’re taking the train take the pink line to Pulaski and walk to 26th st and you’ll be there in about 15 minute walk. ”
