“The food was delicious and our server was excellent and very attentive”
If I could o a cero I would. Very unprofessional management.
They need to update their online menu. Went in person and they didn’t have half the stuff they have on their online menu.
“Authentic Mexican food.”
Authentic Mexican food. I imagine this is how Abuela would prepare a meal. I wouldn't be surprised if everything was hand prepared, especially the tortillas! Very tasty. There is a salsa bar where you can get a variety of condiments for your meal. Only 5 stars for atmosphere as we dined early, right as they opened. This place looks more like a night club and I bet it's more lively after 8 pm as there is live Mexican dance music and dancing.

I liked their food and it made me full! the place was SUPER Empty though but I will guess this is because I arrived before dark (when people get drunk and stuff)

“This is a great place.”
This is a great place! We came here to celebrate my step daughter's birthday. The food was delicious and our server was excellent and very attentive. There was live music and the band that was playing was called the Latin Swing Factor and everyone was dancing. They played a mixture of Latin and soul music which was uniquely different for a Chicago band. Everyone was having a great time dancing especially when DJ Prieto starting jamming. He had the dance floor packed. DJ Prieto introduced music videos of artist and played new music that has not been released yet. We got to hear Lisa Lisa's new single Salsa. This is a gem! Our step daughter was extremely happy being celebrated and she was dancing all night long with her friends and she looked beautiful. Thank you for making this day extra special for our family

I rate the atmosphere neutral because it's not everybody's style. The food and service will definitely hook you.
