“Instead of chips and salsa, they serve free chicharrones with a selection of salsa, which were quite unique. The taco was loaded with delicious carnitas. Their menudo was on the plain side but full of tripe. The cactus salad offered a unique texture and refreshing taste. Their corn tortillas also have a strong corn flavor. Overall, this place lives up to its hype. You could also specify which part of the pig you want your carnitas from.”
“Best carnitas I’ve ever had!!! Staff was so nice and friendly, and great environment. Would definitely recommend it to anyone”
“This was the highlight of our trip to Chicago. Perfect Carnitas they even let us have a taste of nopales to satisfy our "antojo". Will be back soon as I can. The special plate with a taste of multiple items was perfect! Maria our server couldn't have been kinder or more patient with some first timers. Only regret is we weren't able to try the weekend items.”
“Excelente lugar, la amabilidad de las personas que trabajan en el lugar hacen que la visita sea única. "Great location, the hospitality of the staff makes it a one-of-a-kind experience."”
“Probamos las carnitas y las costillas, a mi gusto les faltaba un poco más de sabor pero igual eran bastantes buenas para ser en Estados Unidos, las tortillas dejan que desear pero en ningún lado de Estados Unidos encuentras una buena tortilla así que tampoco hay mucho que hacer, las salsas me parecieron que les faltó sabor además de no picar nada, supongo que por ser en Estados Unidos lo adecuan un poco más a la zona, el servicio y ambientes excelente definitivamente si extrañas Michoacán este es una buena opción. PD: el guacamole y las corundas estaban muy ricas, pero el mismo caso la salsa deja un poco que desear”
