“The consommé de borrego (lamb stew) is really amazing.”
The consommé de borrego (lamb stew) is really amazing! Super flavorful with a little heat, smoky chipotle, hominy, and bone-in lamb shank with a lot of meat. So delicious, and a large portion for 2. The gorditas are huge and packed with meat, the chicharrón prensando was excellent! Pick-up or delivery available on their website. Delivery was fast, and arrived sooner than expected. Humble place with excellent food. Tacos alambres are life changing, and they have a rotating selection of interesting guisado dishes, lamb stew, and more. They prepare everything to order, which means you're getting fresh food. Every time. Never had any issues after ordering a dozen times. Worth waiting a few minutes for, or call ahead and pick up. Pretty easy.

“Was delivered and had missing tacos.”
Was delivered and had missing tacos. The steak taco had a decent chunk of bone that I bit down on. Very under seasoned too. Don’t recommend it.

“The pastor tacos are amazing.”
The pastor tacos are amazing. The chicken burrito is one of the best. None of that shredded chicken nonsense from other restaurants. One of the best tells that the food is good is the rice and beans and both are amazing. The vibe inside is very lively Mexico City-esque. If you know you know. Its a hidden gem. Also byob. Cherry on top is how lovely the lady is.

Small local place, I had a special request with dietary restrictions and they were very understanding. Food was delicious and their salsas were on point! I’d order again

This little restaurant on Kedzie has delicious food I came for a second time and am still very pleased I again ordered the chicharrones with salsa verde so delicious!!! And the rice and beans are the best around. I had to order an extra beans and rice for tonight or breakfast. Today I also picked up their takeout menu so I can get delivery if I don’t feel like driving. I believe I have found my Mexican restaurant. Also Anna who took my order was so kind and friendly too. I love love love this place!
