If you are looking for authentic Mexican food search no further, great variety, quick service & best of all the food is delicious - parking is next door but arrive early before the crowds get in

“The best gorditas hands down in little village .”

The best gorditas hands down in little village . No longer live in the area but worth the drive . Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming . Great atmosphere very clean . We ordered the carne asada tacos and gorditas great quality meat ! Everything is made fresh daily ! They are Associated with another Aguas Calientes on Cicero. But this location is the best and I believe the original 10/10 5 stars .

Went here today my god !! Best authentic Mexican food here in Chicago! Good service , clean restaurant, and good prices ! Our waitress was really nice and we only had to wait for about 20 min for all of our food. Its attached to a Mexican store. After your meal go check out some nice authentic Mexican snacks and candy.
