Fondita Miguel is my new go to spot for local taco. It’s a small space so pickup is the way to go.
The corn tortillas are soft and fresh, the birria is rich and flavorful, and the pastor is done really well. My wife loves the chicken.
You also have to get the street corn. It is a must. Everything hits, prices are solid, and it is an easy spot to keep coming back to. Highly recommend.

First time here. Went in for lunch. The service was Great and the food was so good. If you enjoy mexican food definitely give this place a try. The salsas are full of flavor. I had asada taco and birria. I will be back, and I definitely recommend this to friends and family.

Fantastic! I got two tinga and one beef taco with onion & cilantro with a side of rice and beans. The tacos were incredibly juicy and rich in flavor, with a good tortilla that didn’t break or fall apart. You could actually see the food being made, a huge bonus! Salsa roja was not overly spicy, very good and had a distinct smoky flavor that is very rare to find. The entire menu was extremely affordable and great quality.
Met the owner and had a great time talking with him, the entire staff was very friendly and fun to speak with!

Absolutely amazing!
I ordered the tacos – one chicken one pork and, of course, the famous Tres Leches for desert. I also tried, for the first time, horchata. Everything was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back!

Destination tacos? In Winnetka? Yes – that’s now a thing. Fondita Miguel is 45 minutes from us, but is well worth the trip. We had the pastor-marinated (al pastor) pork, chicken tinga, beef birria, and hongos (mushrooms) tacos and got to sample the asada steak – along with the elote (street corn) salad, guacamole, and a variety of salsas (wow!). The beef, chicken, mushrooms, pork, and steak fillings in our tacos are completely different in taste, seasoning, and texture. The spice level is just right for us – with a nice kick, but without burning our taste buds. The corn tortillas were freshly fried and warm, with a soft-crispy texture – they crunch but don’t fall apart when you bite into the taco! And the fillings are generous, which I think is a nod to American portion sizes. The salsas are not just your average accompaniment. Each has differently prepared chiles as the base, ranging from a milder, creamy jalapeno salsa to a hotter red salsa (with a secret ingredient). We also heard there’s a fourth one that’s hotter than the three we tried. Like the salsas, the elote is not just an add-on. It’s a must-order dish for whenever you need a refreshing, cool, creamy, and sweet balancing bite between the savory and spicy bites of the tacos. We also enjoyed chatting with the friendly team at Fondita Miguel, and the super-casual, counter-service-and-lunch-bar atmosphere makes you feel like you’re on a taco crawl in Chicago – without leaving the ‘burbs.

We recently had Fondita Miguel cater our son’s birthday, and they absolutely delivered! From start to finish, the service was flawless—friendly, professional, and right on time. The food was fresh and flavorful. Every guest was raving about the tacos, the salsas, the guacamole and the homemade chips (which disappeared in minutes). They made hosting stress-free so we could actually enjoy the celebration, and that’s priceless. Thank you, Fondita Miguel, for helping make our son’s special day even more memorable. We can’t wait to order from you again!
