What our guests are saying
Someone in line said this is the only CTA that always makes you happy, and I quite agree! Fantastic crispy fish tacos. Fun decor. Great—and fast—service. My little one loved her cookies & cream paleta.

Yesterday I believe it was the owner who made me the old-school shrimp and steak tacos. So good. There is nothing to love. Friendly and a great ambiance. I love how it is the CTA theme, and my favorite is Bart spray painting. I love it. I am for sure going to get one of their Chicago glasses as well.

We hired CTA to cater our wedding reception, and it was a hit! Our guests are still talking about how good the tacos were. Jose was amazing to work with, the food is amazing, and the service was incredible.
