I’m really feeling nickel and dimes here now. I ordered a taco dinner and it said to pick 2 sides.

Couldn’t finish, DIDNT want to finish. Salsa verde is from a can. Black beans from a can. Refried beans from a can.

Got a Cuban sandwich....bread wasn't toasted at all, pickle only on half, pretty light on the meat, and they charge a convenience fee for ordering on line.

“"Stumbled upon this place by accident and so glad I did.”

"Stumbled upon this place by accident and so glad I did! Loved the tuna tacos and shrimp gambas al ajillo—the garlic was absolutely on point. The server was kind and recommended the Cadillac margarita, which hit the spot. What a great find!"

“My friends and I come here regularly.”

My friends and I come here regularly. If you’re just coming to eat, it’s going to be a very cheap night with excellent food and service. But once their killer margaritas start flowing, the night can go on and on. They have any flavor marg you can think of and they’re always happy to help you choose if you’re overwhelmed. Also, surprisingly, pretty good buffalo wings. Unsurprisingly, good dessert options as well. Will be coming back often!

“I visited this restaurant last week, and I was very pleased.”

I visited this restaurant last week, and I was very pleased. Margaritas and palomas are delicious. The food was outstanding! I recommend the arepas with chicken and avocado. My friend had the blackened chicken sandwich and also loved it. I am going back next weekend with friend to try more margaritas. The staff was also very welcoming. ****Update! 3/17/2024 I am a regular here now. Please come and enjoy the wonderful menu and friendly staff. And my new favorite dishes: Seared tuna tostada and avocado toast! Also, their brunch is incredible!!! Why wait in the line at another brunch spot in Rogers Park when we have South of the border??! French toast, crepes, pancakes, and chilaquiles! There is everything here! Service was as usual....super friendly! 😍

This place is really chill and the food delicious. The mango margarita was soo good and very well priced. I had the chicken quesadilla (a rare occurrence) and it was really good. Very cute neighborhood spot that i enjoyed.

“Delicious food, timely service and relaxed atmosphere.”

Delicious food, timely service and relaxed atmosphere. It's very nice to have such a varied set of choices both for food and for drinks. First having areas, but they were terrific with the avocado rounding up all the flavours. The nacho chips were also on point.
