Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

After hitting the rest of the options on clark, between devon and howard, I would never go to Hernandez again. So many other, better options. No.

I love this place. Ive been eating here for 10 years. When I was pregnant I would take the train and bus in rain, snow, etc...just for 2 steak tacos. Yes, the steak tacos are greasy. But I love the cheese. And I would like to add that you can just come in and sit down. I've never ordered at the counter unless I was taking it to go. The food comes sooooo hot....never cold. Love the 2 hot sauces. The green is my fav. The red is the HOT one and the green is still hot but more milder. My 6 year old daughter is in love with this place as well. When she attended school over there she would beg to go everyday. Everyone I bring here becomes just as addicted as me. They do have their on and off days but it doesn't stop me from coming.

This place is fantastic, authentic, and a great value. Know that the "dining room" is pretty spartan as far as decor and ambience. I come here for the made-to-order authentic Mexican food and don't mind waiting the several minutes it takes them to make it fresh. You can also get your Mexi-fix to go. It's a welcome change from the faux adobe hacienda-type places and that frozen-then-soggy microwaved junk that sits under a mound of chihuahua cheese and is delevered to you 90 seconds after ordering. The chorizo burritos, tamales, tacos....all good. They will add heat if you like, and also have red and green salsa.

I'm not sure why there's not more love for this place, but it's really good and pretty cheap. I'd also like to add that they do have a vegetarian burrito, not sure if that's new or not but I just picked one up for the missus. It's pretty authentic and I've been, along with most of my family, coming here for years. I would recommend taking your meal to go though, there's really not much in the way of decor.

good, cheap, everyone else in the place was speaking Spanish. however, I didn't get the consumate Torta experience I was seeking, although I have no complaints.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Rogers Park and there is definitely no shortage in the area.. The staff here is super friendly and the prices are extremely cheap and refreshing. This place has a great atmosphere and is frequently filled with Loyola students

Tanquieria Hernadez is easy to miss. It's just a small unassuming corner spot. Heck I forgot I visited until my friend mentioned it recently. I was immediately at home in the folksy decorated diner atmosphere and seeing the staff in a slow period cleaning away while jamming to some tunes. The service proved to be as welcoming as my expectation. I ordered a steak taco and chicken. They were on white corn tortillas, packed full of meat, and served with tomato and lettuce (which was fine by me I'm not crazy about cilantro or onion lately) I also had the choice of red or green salsa, which were hot and hotter. The meat was filling and inexpensive. If you are in the area don't miss out on this spot.

Since living in Rogers Park I have passed by and seen more than a few Taco Joints, especially on Clark Street. And yesterday, I found Taqueria Hernandez, and what a great find this was. Located on the corner of Clark and Lunt Taqueria Hernandez is quite the popular place, yesterday the restaurant dining area was filled with customers and everyone there seemed to be enjoying what Taqueria Hernandez was serving up. And, I've gotta say, their tacos may have been the best I've ever had, And, these people don't fool around when filling your taco with the meat of your choice, they are more than generous! And, for $2.25 per taco, you are getting something that will make you want to come back for more, yes, they are that good! So, if and when I get a taco craving I will make sure that I will end up at Taqueria Hernandez, because out of all the Taco Joints on Clark Street in Rogers Park I believe I have found the best of the best. What a great impression you made on me Taqueria Hernandez, so here's your 5 star rating, well deserved!

The food was decent but the portions could have been bigger. The torta is small and could use more meat. Also there were a bunch of gang members looking hard at me and my girl friend whistling at her when we stepped out. I'll go again when I turn gangster which is never because we didn't feel safe when we left.

Old school, no-thrills taqueria in Rogers Park. I agree with the reviews that advise you to go with the steak tacos. My wife order them and they were great. I got the burrito al pastor, and it was only so-so. Note, no flour tortillas for the tacos, although they do you the white corn (blanco) variety. Service is fast. The dinning room is quite bare, but very clean. Usually a few family in there having a meal

Pedestrian at best. Stopped in for tacos after work, since it's right there near the Metro. Everything was just average. The steak was a bit chewy. Nothing fantastic, but nothing offensive, either.

Taqueria hernandez its fuckin gangsta , its so old skool and i've been going there since i was 8 years old and now im a grown man with two kids and still going to the same place, i love their food and the employees are very friendly too, j just love this place :)
(5)Peter C.
Whatever! The food comes fast and is good. I love this place. I do takeout most of the time. Do you guys tip when ordering take out?
(4)Jenna C.
Well the prices are cheap. The staff is friendly. This place is close to my home, so I really do want to like it. Honestly though, unless I really need a fix and it's super-cold out, I'll walk the extra block. Unlike a few other places in the neighborhood, they have no vegetarian options. Additionally expect a bit more than your fair share of grease, but a few slices of fresh avocado can make up for it!

I can't believe Taqueria Hernandez is on here! I grew up around the corner from this place and they serve, in my opinion, the best tacos in the city. I know! Their steak tacos are so good. They serve them with lettuce and tomato, which might offend some onion-and-cilantro purists out there. It's okay, I get it. But their steak is nice and crispy, and the tortillas are so corn-y. Add some lime and salsa verde and I am in taco heaven. Their tortas and tostadas are pretty bomb, too. The service is friendly and super duper quick, and you get used to seeing the same guys working the flat-top. I never got adventurous enough to try and strike up a conversation (my Spanish is middling at best), but I always imagined becoming a friendly regular here. For the record, this place is pretty old-school. I'm not sure they take credit cards, and they're not trying to reinvent the wheel with their food. But every time I'm up in Rogers Park I make a point to stop in for some tacos.

Here is one of the rare instances when I REALLY need a half-star rating system. 2.5 in this case. In my old Lunt-and-Sheridan-dwelling days, I would stumble in here some late nights every once in a while on my way home from some point south on Clark (and once from the Mark II...ugh). I vividly remember one night in the early spring of 2002 when I got my burrito home, queued up an X-Files season 2 DVD, and then watched in horror as I lost control of my motor functions and poured the entire cup of hot green salsa into my burrito. Since I was drunk, I tried to scrape it out and insisted on eating the whole thing despite my mouth being on fire. (FYI--the red sauce is hot, the green sauce is HOT.) It was adequate drunk food, but I'd never had it sober until tonight. For $4.36 including tax I don't expect much, and wasn't disappointed. The chicken burrito tasted fine, if a little bland. It was actually satisfying without feeling too greasy or heavy. However, I found several gristley pieces in the meat, and that is a dealbreaker for me. Any time that I have to chew gingerly, for fear of crunching down on something that is not quite consumable but not quite solid either, is a bad meal. I would consider coming back if the conditions were just right, but I won't get chicken again.

It's cheap, but it's also bad, especially when compared to other places around the area. The steak was bland, greasy, and a there was a little gristle to it. The burrito I had was just a soggy mess.
(1)Keith H.
Tasty if not messy burriots; bring your spanish. They have a diverse soda cabinet ice cooler. Juicy con lechuga. Good spot on a street where there are more choices. I also had a small candy by the register which was tan and sugary. This was the highlight of the inexpensive, quick meal. I would go back.
(3)Linda A.
I love it. Its where we always end up. I love their tortas, rice, ordenes de asada, sopes, to name a few =D
