“The chicken burrito was fantastic and big enough for 2 meals. I had a taste of both types of rice from other folks in my party and they were also delicious. Loved the inclusion of 4 different salsas to dip chips in. It’s nice to have a variety! They had different levels of spice and different flavors. My favorite was the green one. I also enjoyed the roasted jalapeño that came with my meal. Everything tasted very fresh. The half of my burrito I didn’t eat at lunchtime was still amazing at dinner time even though it was cold by that point. The menu was huge, there’s something for everyone. I had a hard time deciding what to order but I think I made the right choice! I did not have an alcoholic beverage as they were a bit pricy, but my cousin had 2 of the spicy margaritas and said they were great (they LOOKED great too). The only downside I can think of (and I’m nitpicking here) is that I can see it getting rather loud in the restaurant when it’s busy due to the open floor plan. But it wasn’t busy when we were there, so it wasn’t a problem!”
“La atención de Paloma fue increíble, súper recomendada, el coquito fue el mejor cóctel! Volvería 🙂”
“I will definitely come back here! Food was GOOD GOOD and service was excellent. The salsas are great and all worth a try.”
“Best burrito I've had in a long while. This mexican spot is much nicer that most others in the area, and the food is excellent.”
“On a business trip and was craving some menudo... Found this place and let me tell you, they stand on they're word. Great food! Will recommend this place to my coworkers! Shout out to my server Diego.”
“Made a reservation. Arrived on time, waited about 15 minutes to get seated. It was ridiculously busy, it was Mother's Day. We sat down, place our order immediately. Paloma, our server kept checking in us to see if our food had been brought out yet. She kept apologizing and I kept reassuring it was not her fault. About 45 mins later food arrived cold, no steam, no hot to the touch. We right away let them know. We understand it's busy but the food should have been piping hot! It was only 1 parrillada to share. The manager Talia was very accommodating and even offered a side of rice, beans and guacamole for the inconvenience. On Sundays there's mariachi from 130pm to 3pm. Recommend making a reservation. Thank you for turning a horrible experience into a memorable one. We will definitely be back!”
“The food is great - the elotes will have us coming back. Awesome service with Diego!”
“Food is always amazing ♥️ and the service is great! Diego always takes great care of us when come in”
“Second time visiting Boilingbrook and why didn't i find this place on my last trip. Boilingbrook you were holding out because OMG is this establishment great. Staff is very friendly and provide some of the best sauce for your nachos that I honestly have ever had. Im talking about freshly made food here to the point were they make there own tortillas which is what you want for authenticity of Mexican food. I had a Carne Asada and Chicken Gordita and came complete with a pepper on the side. Honestly beyond delicious plate and would get over, and over, and over again. Bonus for you fellow celiac folks....most of the menu is Gluten Free. Also...M-Th is $6 Margaritas which this guy will be coming back for later tonight. If you live in the area and havent checked this place out then shame on you. If you are traveling like me, then I suggest stopping here for a bite....you will not be disappointed. 2-17-2026 Had a work trip again and brought my son this time. AMAZING!!!!!! Love this place and plan on coming back every trip I get here this year.”
“The food was amazing. The dishes are authentic Mexican and they offer a wide variety of choices. Our waiter Diego, could not have been better! We will be back!”
“we had a great experience. Not my family and I first time here, every time we have come it’s been good. Not to expensive for a family of 5. can’t speak for the alcoholic drinks we all had cafe de Olla or some of there aguas. the food was great. high recommend there Caldos and pozole verde”
