About this spot

On South State Street in Lockport, Taco Heaven operates with the kind of focus that comes from knowing exactly what you are good at. The trompo turns, the al pastor comes off properly caramelized at the edges, and the handmade tortillas are warm when they arrive at the table. The house salsas have heat ranges that are taken seriously. The menu does not require explanation or a server who walks you through it. You know what you want, you order it, it arrives correctly. That efficiency is not indifference — it is the confidence of a kitchen that has made these dishes thousands of times and gotten them right. Lockport's taco lovers have given this place a 4.5-star average, and the lines during lunch hour confirm it. Taco Heaven is the kind of spot that street food is supposed to be: specific, honest, and worth going back to.

Really enjoyed the chorizo torta! Flavor and prep was definitely authentic and delicious. Everything was fresh and made to order. My kids never want steak but they loved these left me like wow! Will definitely come back soon! Great service too! Super friendly and down to earth!

We were on our way to Los Comales and saw this cute little spot dead smack in the middle of Lockport downtown, literally did a U turn and checked this place out. As soon as we walked in, it smelled authentic. Latin music blasting, and the staff looked ready and incredibly friendly. Got our food fast ( Steak Quesadilla, Tacos and Crazy Fries), huge portions, rich in flavor, you can taste the freshness. The owner surprised us with his latest creation, enchiladas! I've never had enchiladas with cilantro and onions inside the cheese, I was blown away. Delicious!! NO REGRETS!! Can't wait to try their tortas and burritos.

Come on! How is this place even real?! The food is the freshest. I basically can just stop cooking or buying groceries and just head to Taco Heaven. Beware the nachos — large enough to feed an entire marching band. Sooo good. The guac on the side came in a 16 oz cup! 🤯🩷🙌

First time trying Taco Heaven. What an amazing lunch. We ordered the nachos and steak burrito. The nachos are HUUUGE and delicious. Steak burrito had lots of meat and was not shy of any other ingredients either. We will definitely be back!

This place was great! Nicole’s service was top tier. Beautiful presentation and hospitality. Definitely Recommend. I had the crazy fries and it was so much food I will be coming here more often.

My partner and his friends ordered for 5 people to go and every single thing was made correctly! Even with substitutions. The staff there were super friendly and accommodating, and very sweet. Haven’t been here since papa joes was in this location and I ADORE what they have done with the place! There is plenty of space and the atmosphere is phenomenal, will definitely be returning to eat and sit down in person with my partner. Happy to have an addition like this in Lockport!

Food was authentic and service top notch. They even accommodated a party of 14 with no problems. And every order was perfect.

We recently had Taco Heaven cater an event for us and they went well out. The delivery of the food was prompt, all the food was fresh and hot, and the condiments were fresh as well. We are frequent patrons of their restaurant as well and always have an outstanding meal. If you've never been there, please go!! The owners are outstanding people. They always treat us like family when we're there.

Today was my first visit that I have been meaning to do for a while . There was A sweet woman being the counter then I was greeted by Diego who helped me with my order. I chose the Birria taco’s and they were fresh , full of flavors and plenty of meat!!! I highly recommend you try them for yourself. I didn’t stay to eat and not sure if they serve alcohol but Taco Heaven will be my go to spot for tacos in my neighborhood for sure! Please support taco Heaven I know I will .

Taco Heaven is amazing! My family loves this place and visits often. We love it so much when I desired to cater our annual Christmas celebration with our friends I chose them and they didn't disappoint! Plenty of food to go around!
