About

Broken English is a taco pub in Chicago with a mix of traditional and specialty tacos.

Story

From the minds of Adolfo Garcia and long-time restaurateur, Phil Stefani, comes Broken English taco pub. Located on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Lake Street, Broken English is steps away from Millennium Park, and in the center of the new vibrant hotel and residential area.

On the name, Garcia says, “I speak English with my friends, and I often find myself mixing in Spanish words because there are some phrases that simply don’t translate to English. This happens in many other languages and cultures, but that is what makes the name ‘Broken English’ fun – it is part of our daily slang.”

Reviews

The decor inside is pretty awesome but it's loud with the music and chatter. The food was pretty good but the Al Pastor was kind of oily so I think I'd try the nachos or platters instead.

Edit: 3 months later and my friends and I have decided to never go back. We always went after work and (before it got popular) we could sit down without waiting.

During our last visit, we had to wait for the entire party to arrive and then we still had to wait 15 minutes while staring at the two large tables that were "reserved".

Why are you able to make reservations at a taco pub?!.....

We think something was up with their management that night because there was only one server for the whole area. We were never given water. When I asked if we could have water, the runner only gave us one glass.

The other tables around us didn't have any food either. Some had chips but when we all looked around, there wasn't any food for anyone.

Not going back again, especially when we've always had to yell over the loud music to talk to each other. I'll miss the food and the strong margaritas.

Menu is very light, less than 15 meal options. You're seated drink order taken and chips and salsa brought out. Margaritas are very strong! (Highly recommend) the portion size of the food options is rather small (like 2 street tacos lightly filled) most of the food is insanely spicy. Not necessarily bad things but worth mentioning. It's clear this place is more for a party type, definitely not intimate. Dark lighting and extremely loud music you have to shout to be heard by the person right next to you. Definitely worth the visit and fairly priced food in the city.

The food here was pretty good and it was affordable. Unfortunately, the service did not meet expectations and was actually expensive.
When the server brought our table drinks, they brought everyone else's but mine. It was about 10 minutes before it finally arrived. Was my drink complicated? It was a Mexican Coke in the bottle.
Our food arrived quickly considering there was 7 of us. Our bill arrived much later and is where the real trouble began.
Apparently they are unable to split a bill (the only restaurant I've ever heard this occurring at) so each of us at the table started paying a portion using a mixture of cash and card. When you paid with card, the receipt given to you listed the amount remaining on the bill. Those of us who paid with cash never got receipts, so we were surprised when the final person was supposed to pay $75 (when it should have been $44). We had to wait quite some time to finally flag down our server to point out the problem. He took our cash, gave us back our change, but never added it to the total bill. The numbers still did not add up quite right, but at that point we just took it as a loss and left.

I had the fish tacos and a margarita, and both were prepared very well. However, I still found this place to be over priced. The decorations were cute and very colorful and gave the place an interesting appeal. The service was good, the server offered recommendations and was friendly. While I had a good time, I was not very impressed and was not happy with the prices. For my 6 tacos and margarita,  I paid approx $35...too much!
