This Illinois Drive-In Makes A Ground Beef Taco You’ll Talk About For Weeks
Pull up to Janson’s for a crunchy deep-fried beef taco and a banana shake under the neon of the South Side drive-in you will keep talking about.
Neon hums above Western Avenue, car windows slide down, and the smell of beef in hot oil drifts through the night. Janson’s Drive-In, a South Side landmark since 1960, glows like it never left the era of chrome and curb service.
The menu has plenty of classics, yet the taco claims the most attention: fried crisp, filled heavy, topped in ways that lean quirky without losing comfort. Locals know it as a staple, visitors remember it as a surprise, and the line outside proves both instincts right.
At Janson’s, the crunch tells you exactly why this drive-in keeps its lights on. Listed simply as “Beef Taco…” it looks modest, but the shell arrives fried crisp with seasoned ground beef tucked inside.
