Taqueria La Reina

Cicero · Mexican Community-sourced, unverified

📍 6026 W 26th St, Cicero, IL 60804

Taqueria La Reina opened on 26th Street in Cicero with the kind of ribbon-cutting that signals a family actually putting down roots, not a test-kitchen concept — owner Jose Lopez runs it alongside his daughter Maria, and the two also operate La Guadalupana, so this isn't a first attempt at the restaurant business.

The siete mares caldo (a seafood-loaded seven-seas soup) alongside a proper menudo and birria — a full homestyle Mexican menu built well beyond tacos, from a family that also runs La Guadalupana.

The menu reads like a tour through the full range of homestyle Mexican cooking that often gets flattened into just 'tacos' on an English-language sign: barbacoa, birria, carne en su jugo, a proper menudo, and a caldo lineup that runs from beef and chicken broths up to siete mares, the seafood-loaded seven-seas soup. Grilled meats round things out alongside the stews. The town's own announcement promises daily specials and a customer-satisfaction guarantee, though no published schedule says which dish runs which day — worth asking in person rather than planning a visit around assumption.

No phone number, Instagram, or confirmed hours turned up anywhere in research, which tracks for a family spot a few months into its run rather than a chain with marketing infrastructure. What's clear from the opening coverage is the ambition: this isn't a taco stand content to coast on tacos alone, it's built to be a full-menu destination for birria and menudo and the kind of caldo you order specifically because you're hungover or it's twenty degrees outside.
