“The cocktails are fantastic, the food is excellent. And if the manager is making the cocktails, it’s even better. That’s it, highly recommend.”
“This has been mine and my husbands go to spot since we started dating the customer service and food will never disappoint! We celebrated our wedding dinner there and we felt very happy about how we were celebrated on our special day!”
“Amazing food + drinks! OUTSTANDING service! ✨ Must have the Queso Poca Madre, Chimichangas, Quesabrirrias, and Tampiquena! It was my 40th birthday and the manager personalized the experience, making it so special for our group!”
“Excellent service, very fair prices & excellent food!”
“Place its fabulous. We went to get to try this place and we got surprised. Place its not that big, and decor its not the best, but food its great. I ordered CARNE A LA TAMPIQUN̈A, and it was sooooo... good. Steak was tender, juicy, and tasteful, and the enchilada of MOLE was the best. Honestly this is the best mole I have ever tried in Chicago burbs. It was accompanied by a CHILE TOREADO, and onions. Rice was awesome, and beans did not disappointed. She ordered PULPO AL PASTOR, and octopus was cocked perfectly but missed pastor taste as advertised but it was good. Chips and salsa were great, the salsa was cold, but tasty and slowly spiced. MARGARITAS FLIGHT was great, but THE MILLION DOLLAR MARGARITA was not not the best..... toooo much salt on it. BTW the birthday cake was FREE!!! Service was the best around. Definitely coming back soon.”
“The empanadas and ceviche are to die for! This is my go to for margaritas and botanas. ❤”
“Date nite is always great with restaurants with great ambience, valet service and great food. Wife loves the margarita flight. I’m definitely recommending this restaurant for there delicious salmon & shrimp. A++++”
“We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here after our rehearsal at the Chicago Marriott across the street. We communicated often with the lovely manager, Vanesa, about what we would like the menu to look like and how we wanted the drinks and leftovers handled. We were able to reserve the entire outdoor space as we had about 35-40 people attending. Not only did they deliver on the delicious food and drinks, but all the side requests we had as hosts they listened! The servers were all attentive and friendly, I never had to wait more than a few minutes for a refill and they laughed with our group and our corny jokes. We are so happy with our choice and can’t wait to get back here for some more food. Thank you Vanesa and team!”
“I ordered eggs with Mexican chorizo and beans . Was nice dinner with salsa and nachos and tacos. Nice restaurant to go with friends.”
