“Walked in here by accident and ended up loving everything.”

Walked in here by accident and ended up loving everything. They give what looked like a Pescado ceviche as the table food and that was delicious. They have 3 different salsas with varying spice levels - they all tastes great. Tacos came out crispy and the meat was juicy and flavorful. I really enjoyed the Jamaica as it wasn’t too sour and not too sweet either. The birria consume was flavorful and hearty and not super heavy. I tried the camarones à la diabla and it was spicy, filling and had great flavor. The fires were crinchy and crispy, the bread was soft and light and the diabla sauce wasn’t super overpowering. If you’re not into spicy food I wouldn’t recommend getting this because it is on the higher end of being spicy. Very big portions and you’ll definitely be satisfied with whatever you get.

“This restaurant is one of the many gems in Albany Park.”

This restaurant is one of the many gems in Albany Park. One of many Mexican restaurants but one of the best steak tacos on the Northside. This placed used to be open late before covid. The service is friendly and everything is cooked fresh. There is side parking lot and also parking in front. Come and try their amazing steak tacos while you sip some cold horchata. Also be careful the fish tacos are quite spicy but very good.

“The meat you see is from only 1 enchilada which I only ate the tortilla.”

The meat you see is from only 1 enchilada which I only ate the tortilla. Not sure what kind of chicken this is but I definitely am disappointed in the quality of my enchiladas. Will order something different next time and hope for something better

“I will stop buying here.”

I will stop buying here. There was a mistake in my uber order and when I called to fix it they said I can call back and claim my missing items then. So today, I called and they said the "whole order" was refunded by uber but the only refund I got was for a soda I didn't receive. The other missing items weren't refunded. See pictures below. There was an adjusted refund for 3 dollars. I dont think 3 dollars cover my 4 tacos and soda I didn't get. The owners forced the waiters to do deny getting my missing food. So i understand is not their fault... My problem is with the owner and their lack of customer care and people skils. They didn't checked what exactly was refunded to me and now the only thing I can do is sit back and complain about my experience here.
