Eating is uncomfortable and to simple for the price of food and service.
— Leonard Hernandez

I went in this place and ordered a Burrito and they tried to charge me 22 dollars.
— Whydyougoanddothat4

I would never order anything from here ever again a waste of money and time I live to damn far for them to mess my order up charge me $37 for two eight dollars burrito special with chips and salsa just to only get one burrito then call them to let them know about the mess up order they made and don’t know what I’m talking about I would never recommend no one to waste your money here.

“At 11pm after mosh pitting at a metal concert, this restaurant was our saving grace.”

At 11pm after mosh pitting at a metal concert, this restaurant was our saving grace. The food was huge and delicious. We got the meat platter and that food was the most mouth-watering delight! Savory and delicious. They had Karaoke going on which elevated the atmosphere. The waitress was very attentive as well. Everything was just perfect. Definitely one for the books.

“The food was out of this world and the karaoke was the best.”

The food was out of this world and the karaoke was the best. With both Spanish and English singing options, everyone has a good time. Bring your A game, the patrons put on quite a show! Friendly staff and customers, I had a great time!

“Very friendly service and all the food and drinks we got tasted great.”

Very friendly service and all the food and drinks we got tasted great. I’d recommend trying anything Al Pastor (we had the Al Pastor taco) as well as the tortas (we had the Super Torta). The torta was huge and very flavorful - the food came out very quickly and was really hot. Also recommend their drinks, specifically the strawberry margarita (frozen) and the Cantarito. It’s fun that they have karaoke 🎤 happening as well! And the chips they brought out were amazing as well!

“Nice neighborhood family run spot in Humboldt Park.”

Nice neighborhood family run spot in Humboldt Park. Bar, jukebox & video gambling. Enough room for 9 spaced out tables inside plus outdoor tented seating. A few parking spots out back as well as street parking available. Good portion size for prices. Delicious homemade food.

First time there and I just needed something quick for lunch, ordered 2 of the Tostadas de pollo and man these were smacking. Will definitely be headed back to try their ceviche, I'll keep y'all updated 😉 props to the cooks in the back, y'all stay on point now.

“Every time I go here, it's a crazy loud spanish karaoke party.”

Every time I go here, it's a crazy loud spanish karaoke party. All the singers are good and the songs have a sad vibe to them. The open kitchen is smoky and sizzling. My kind of atmosphere. The avocado salsa is to die for. The chips are thick and crispy, salty and delicious. The meats are seasoned and cooked perfectly. Get the steak nachos with a side of chips and that avocado salsa. You'll be set for that meal and the next.

“Service is quick, food is delicious, environment is clean and well spaced.”

Service is quick, food is delicious, environment is clean and well spaced. Not much more you can ask for. I ordered a small guacamole and a few beef tacos. Fresh, tasty and plentiful (couldn't finish!) Ordered a few more to go for the family.
