“The lengua burrito was incredible (and massive!). Lengua was cooked perfectly, tortilla had actual bite and flavor, refried beans were fatty and salty (as they should be!). Green and red sauce served on the side were bright and fresh and flavorful. Jamaica was delicious too. Kind and accommodating server and staff. Very highly recommend!”
“They've Been Around For Years, Still Hanging In There- And Still Pretty Darn Good! In And Out, FASTTTTTT Service.”
“I haven’t had a burrito from here in 15 years n it still tastes the same I love this place”
“Debería de dar -1 estrella la verdad horrible comida la barbacoa seca no sabor en el arroz. Las salsas sin sabor una muy mala experiencia ni siquiera terminamos nuestra comida y la mesera no sabía ni el menú ni lo q estábamos pidiendo no gasten su dinero ahí no vale la pena.”
“This turned me off from finishing my food. Hair in my tacos. Good thing I look at what I eat before consuming.Someone needs to wear a hair net. These tacos are waaaaaaay too expensive for you all not to make sure they aren’t delivered with HAIR. That’s disgusting.Delivered through uber eats. 🤢🤮”
“Very delicious authentic Mexican cuisines. The food tastes just as good as it looks. I’m not easy to impress when it comes to good eating but the food here burst with flavor. That’s what I’m looking for when I’m spending money at a restaurant. Two thumbs up! Oh and fast and friendly service too. Sorry I forgot to take a picture before pulverizing my meal.”
“El lugar esta muy bueno, las meseras muy atentas y amables. Los chips con salsa estaban muy buenos tambien. La salsa no es tu salsa tipica, la salsa era pico de gallo pero en vinagre, muy delicisosa. Pedi un taco de asada y uno de al pastor, los tacos estaban muy buenos, la carne tenia buen sabor, las salsas muy ricas igual. Se los reocomiendo, todo muy rico.”
“The food is amazing... Very authentic. I'm here once a week”
“La señora que nos atendió muy mal encarada, los tacos de pastor muy ricos”
“Very delicious tacos have been coming here for years never disappointed”
“Easily one of the best late night Mexican food spots in the city of Chicago. The birria is great, but the cabeza is world class. Their queso and chips is mind-blowing. Al pastor and asada are also very good. Don't pass Huentitan up. They make amazing food. Parking on North Ave. sucks tho, so brace yourself.”
