About This Place

PONCITLAN JALISCO #1 TAQUERIA invites you to experience authentic Mexican flavors right in the heart of Chicago’s diverse culinary scene. Located at 4460 W Diversey Ave, this vibrant taqueria is a true gem for lovers of genuine Mexican cuisine, offering a rich menu that bursts with bold, comforting tastes that transport you straight to Jalisco.

The charm of PONCITLAN JALISCO lies not only in its homey, welcoming atmosphere but also in its commitment to delivering traditional dishes made with fresh, quality ingredients. Whether you’re craving a steaming bowl of Caldo De Res—a hearty beef soup that warms your soul—or the indulgent Burrito Suizo Dinner, loaded with melty cheese and savory fillings, every bite speaks of authenticity and care.

Breakfast here, known as Desayuno, is a highlight you don’t want to miss. Imagine starting your day with the Desayuno Poncitlan: three perfectly cooked over-easy eggs draped in rich ranchero sauce and topped with tender ribeye steak, a meal that feels like a warm embrace. The Huevos Rancheros and Huevos a la Mexicana offer fresh, vibrant flavors with a little spice and plenty of character, showcasing the bright, rustic roots of Mexican morning fare.

For the taco aficionados, PONCITLAN JALISCO excels with standout dishes like Tacos De Tripa, bursting with crisp textures and savory depth, and the beloved Birria, known for its tender, slow-cooked meat and rich, spicy broth. The Quesadilla Poncitlan Con Carne offers a satisfying blend of melted cheese and seasoned meat wrapped in a perfectly toasted tortilla—comfort food at its finest. Don't overlook the Carne Asada Plate or the uniquely flavorful Shrimp Veracruzana Style, perfect for those who appreciate a nuanced seafood twist.

Guests rave about the genuine, approachable vibe and the attentive, friendly service. Kevin Coleman praised the "fresh and flavorful meat" and "excellent salsas," while Ashley Hayden, who’s particular about her Mexican food, called it "delicious" with huge portions and great prices. Pedro Chavez perfectly sums up the experience as a spot to "eat like a local" without the pretension, highlighting the bilingual staff and incredible value.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick Chip and Salsa snack or settling in for a full, satisfying meal like the Torta Milanesa de Bistec, PONCITLAN JALISCO offers an authentic taste of Mexico with warmth and hospitality that keeps visitors coming back. For a no-frills, flavor-packed dining experience that feels like a culinary hug, this Logan Square favorite is a must-visit.

    Friendly staff, delicious tacos. I had tacos, 1 pastor and 1 asada. The meat was fresh and flavorful. The tortillas were also fresh and the salsas were excellent!

    Wait staff was quick and polite, bilingual but fluent in both spanish and english. Food was amazing! If you want to eat like a local and get the vibes of authenticity without the bougie prices further into Logan, this is the place to go. We had a Torta dinner and a Taco dinner with Horchatas and both were amazing! Total was right around 32$ without tip. Extremely high bang for your buck and flavor that, for me, stays with you for a while.

    This place is a must try if you are around Logan Square! I'm from Texas and therefore really particular about my Mexican food, but this place was delicious!! The service was quick and friendly, the portions were huge and the prices were low. I'll definitely be travelling across town to eat at this place again in the near future. I had the ranchero burrito and it was amazing, and huge.

    Food was amazing! The waitress was really nice, but if you do not speak Spanish, there might be a bit of a language barrier. She understood us well though! But, man...itnwas so good! Highly recommend this place and the price for the amount of food was so worth it!
