“Great menudos and posoles. Everything is great. Has a bar. Small out door sitting. Great service.”
“Authentic Mexican Food, Neighborhood Welcoming Vibe! I Will Return”
“This was the best birthday celebration for my 17-year-old son and he was able witness the biggest burrito in Chi-town. My own son bet me $50 that he would finish the burrito but he did not realize how biggest the burrito was that I ordered for the celebration for his birthday”
“Taco al pastor & pozole were my favorite. Al pastor was seared which elevated the flavor. El pozole was well seasoned and delicious. They were understaffed but still friendly & hard working. Agua de jamaica was just right. Not too sweet, but still tasted the flower. Salsas are good. Will def come back.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience, and the food was delicious. But a warning- the salsa is very, very spicy.”
“Great lunch date food was fantastic steak tacos tender and seasoned well. My favorite taco spot”
“Incredible burrito - oddly named (baby burrito costing 18 dollars and is giant) but the taste was incredible. Red and green sauces in a squeeze bottle to pair with it. It was empty when I came in, and it took 10 min to get my food which was a little long. But in their defense they had to start up the kitchen again. Underrated spot - I hope it gets more traction.”
“I’ve been here before and the burrito was delicious and filling. I visit again and not the case this time, I paid for a baby burrito and it was filled with mostly lettuce and tomato barely any meat.. I felt cheated and disappointed. The money I spent here was definitely not worth it.”
“⭐️⭐️ (2/5 stars) The Big Baby Burrito is enormous — bigger than my arm — and somewhat tasty, packed with fillings enough to satisfy a small army. But what is a giant burrito worth if its legendary presentation is stolen from you? We were denied the fabled, arm-sized box simply because we dared to dine in, forced instead to wrestle with clunky, wasteful styrofoam. No sour cream. Mess everywhere. And for this colossal meal, which surely cost us trillions of dollars in spirit, time, and appetite, the experience felt utterly tragic. A burrito this monumental deserves respect, not neglect”
