“Seriously, one of our favorite taco spots to date! My absolute favorites are the horchata and the steak tacos. I've been here countless times and have never had a bad experience. I've even brought family and friends, and everyone has raved about their food! It's always a pleasure when we're greeted by Nadia's warm smile and sweet Nachito. We recommend this place often and will continue to make it a staple.”
“A HIDDEN GEM ! I’ve tried many quesbirrias over the city of Chicago these are the best shells could be a bit toastier but overall 100000/10 flavor quality 10”
“The food tasted great. A little greasier than I prefer but I did also get the chorizo which tends to be on the greasier side.”
“This establishment maintains a high standard of cleanliness and is staffed by an attentive and friendly team. I ordered the chicken quesabirrias, which was hot, tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The food was prepared with care and served promptly. I also tried the horchata, which was equally excellent. I’m glad I tried out this restaurant!”
“The tacos were a little too greasy and the quality of steak used was average at best. The flavor didn't stand out, and I did not like either of the sauces. The enchiladas were fine. I was a little messy in the transport, but that wasn't the restaurants fault. The rice was cooked well, but had a little flavor and mostly salty.”
“would not recommend curstomer service horrible worst spot if your in town way better options than to give your money here”
“I've eaten ate this place several times and they are very constant and delivers great food.”
“i got the quesabirria and it was AMAZING! the gentleman who helped me and my friends was absolutely so kind and nice to us. Amazing food and amazing customer service. will be back!!”
“Cactus Grill has a great location, right on Harlem in Forest Park. I got their chimichanga lunch suiza. It was good and a lot more food than I had expected. The restaurant looked nice inside. I enjoyed the food.”
