“Everything it was great, Service, Food, Atmosphere, and the Burritos of green and red sauce with shredded meat my favorites.😋😋😋”
“While looking for a new mexican restaurant in the area, we stumbled across this gordita spot and it was incredible. We unknowingly came in on $1 wednesday tacos so it was super busy but the service was still very good. The food was all hot and delicous. Overall a great place with a nice vibe.”
“This is a GREAT hidden gem in West Chicago. The entry to this homesytle restaurant is situated between two bigger buildings, but don’t let that steer you away from trying out their food. The atmosphere reminds me of growing up in Texas and finding grub at the local taqueria. Fresh Aqua Frescas, fresh tortillas, fresh salsas… just the way it should be. They have a list of 20ish gorditas on their menu, but for me, I like their tacos and burritos. The tacos are FILLED with your choice of steak or al pastor so naturally I ordered both. The Al Pastor has the expected sweet pineapple acidity and rich pork flavors. The steak hits your umami palette with a frenzy of crave-ability. The real stunner was the burrito. A cheese roll up with potato and shredded beef in a green sauce. Spicy, tangy, hearty, salty. It was gone in 3 bites but I am already planning my next visit to have 10000 more. Check this place out!”
“This little gem in West Chicago has the typical Mexican food that everyone loves! The menu is not extensive but what they offer is of great quality and inexpensive. They have the best Gorditas, quesadillas, tacos. But what I am always amazed about the attention staff has to cleanliness! The restaurant is spotless and the kitchen super super clean! Great place to eat at! ( I did not include pics of food since I was picking up)!”
“This place is amazing - the food is great and at a great price. The servings are a good size, not too big - just right! The outdoor seating is very nice and has a calm atmosphere. The service is also very good - everyone is so friendly and willing to explain any items on the menu. They even offer suggestions! Great place in West Chicago - check it out!”
“Easily my favorite restaurant in West Chicago! You honestly can’t go wrong with any of the choices on their menu, the burritos are absolutely AMAZING and their salsa verde is some of the best i have ever had. 10/10 recommend 🔥”
“the food here is good. I am updating my review because fair is fair. They were having inconvenient problems with their phones recently but they explained that in their comment. So i would like to update my review because this is definitely a little gem spot in West Chicago, worth stopping in at. 10/10 **ORIGINAL REVIEW** food here is pretty good and affordable however after 7:30 pm the girls answer saying they cannot hear you to not take an order even after asking if we can still order. had 3 people call on different phones to be told the same thing there’s no reason for this. just say the kitchen is close. It’s honestly a lot more professional and makes your happy customers understand. that type of behavior is uncalled for”
“My first experience when I ordered in store wasn't great, was overcharged which the manager fixed (it was a new employee so understandable) but I got home and had the tacos and I've gone back every week since (sometimes 30 minutes in traffic from Naperville) but hands down the best tacos in the area”
