“It’s really a great food! I love it! It’s my first time here but the food and the service never disappoint me. I’m going to recommend this to my friends.”
“The food was spectacular and the service was even better- friendly staff & quick turnaround time. Our burritos were one of the best we’ve had in the city. The restaurant itself is a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone- 10/10!!!”
“Great food and quick and friendly service! We enjoyed the steak taco more than the chicken taco but both were very good.”
“Their mole sauce is incredible. They are friendly and reliable- they never disappoint!”
“Overall great food! Will be coming back if I’m in the area :D”
“Delicious food, quick and friendly service. Mole enchiladas are the best!”
“Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Chicago! Incredible restaurant and amazing food! Can’t recommend this place enough, it’s owned by a family who are always there helping run daily operations. I’ve been over 5 times and I enjoy every single entree they serve. I always try something new every time I go and it’s so good! It is pretty small inside and not the most conducive for large groups, but they may be able to put two tables together to accommodate a group up to 6 people, if they’re not super busy. It’s also BYOB! They offer dine-in or takeout. Definitely check them out when in the area or in the mood for delicious Mexican food!”
