Serving Chicagoland for #25YearsStrong

 The Hispano Soccer League played many of there games at the fields at Humbolt Park where people gathered to watch their favorite teams. When the number of participants and spectators grew so did the need to feed them that is when this young couple came up with the idea to sell tacos out of styrofoam ice chests eventually as the league grew so did demand and what originally started as a peddler operation turned into a picnic like setup to years later Don Aurelio & Dona Belem becoming the largest latino Chicago Park District concessionaires.

Fast forward having been born and raised in what is now called Bucktown back in 1987 I started noticing residential changes in my hood with those changes I saw the same need as my parents did back in the 70’s. So I began to look for the ideal location for what would be a Mexican taqueria which would continue and honor my parents original concept of tacos in a Flash. Then in 1996 came the opportunity to secure a storefront in the heart of Bucktown and Wicker Park (six corners) two years later on April, 7th 1998 Flash Taco opened its doors to the public and since then 22 years later we continue to live the American dream once started by two young Mexican immigrants.
