Taco Tavern

Taco Tavern sits on Old LaGrange Road just off I‑80, making it a convenient stop for commuters and families in Mokena, Illinois. Chef Miguel Hernandez leads a kitchen that blends traditional Mexican flavors with a modern Tex‑Mex twist. Signature dishes include the Al Pastor Taco with pineapple‑marinated pork, the smoky Carne Asada Taco, and the Baja‑style Fish Taco served on a crisp corn tortilla with cabbage slaw and chipotle mayo. The Taco Trio platter lets guests sample three house‑made tacos with fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and a side of black beans. Complement your meal with a handcrafted margarita—classic lime, spicy jalapeño, or the seasonal watermelon blend. The interior features reclaimed wood tables, neon signage, and a vibrant mural of a desert sunset, while the covered patio offers a relaxed atmosphere for evening diners. Open daily from 11 am to 12 am, Taco Tavern provides a $$ price range, making it affordable for lunch, dinner, or late‑night cravings. Nearby landmarks such as Mokena Community Park and the historic downtown district are within walking distance, and the restaurant’s friendly staff often recommend local events.
