“My first time here, so many choices in this beautiful French market, so I decided on two tostadas from this restaurant. The owner was most gracious and the best chicken tostada I've ever had from an authentic Mexican restaurant. The flavors were fresh and amazing from the first bite to the last! The owner even came into the seated dining area to make sure that I was pleased with my food! I couldn't stop talking about the flavors because I'm always eating Mexican food and every chicken tostada to date has been stringy meat covered up with sauce, not this place, I could eat the chicken and steak by itself and still be satisfied!!!! My first choice was a great one and the price was not bad at all!👍🏾”
“10/10 best taco I’ve had. Definitely getting some next time in back in Chicago!!!”
“I wish I found this place sooner! No line, but still took a while to make. Why? Because they make it fresh for you while you wait and when you finally get to eat it, it doesn't taste like Chipotle or Qdoba - it tastes like something you can make at home, but spicy, even if you ask for mild! Even though there was lettuce, they don't just use it as filler, every ingredient is wonderfully proportioned and they don't skimp. I'll definitely eat from here again.”
“Chicken was really dry, overall felt very spicy and raw.”
“Great Tortas! Owner is usually working the lunch rush and you can tell he really cares about quality, his customers, and his staff.”
“Had a burrito and it was very tasty and filling !!! Great food , made fresh !!!”
“The owner was extremely accommodating to my gluten allergy. Even though there was a line, he made sure the cook top was clean for me. This meant the world to me. I really enjoy getting lunch here and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious, local, fast lunch in the French Market!”
“Very convenient and fast. Good food. Very nice and honest young gentleman working there. I look forward to returning.”
“WOW!!! I just ate the steak and shrimp spicy burrito fully loaded! This place is amazing great food high quality meat and everything is priced right! I highly recommend this place!”
“Phenomenal tacos al pastor, great chicken burrito. Super satisfying at a good price”
