Would prefer a simpler kid's menu with fewer and more authentic items (from the adult menu, in smaller portions) rather than an assortment of chicken fingers and hot dogs, winning the race to the bottom of kid quisine

El Pueblito #3 — a mexican spot in Lincolnwood. Traditional preparation with honest flavors. "The steak was seasoned right and horchata was also good, a little more on the sweet side but I don’t mind" — Carlos herrera [$]

Food was great! Portions were large and the service was also fast. They also had an exceptional number of free sides and appetizers that you wouldn’t normally see at a Mexican restaurant (for example, free refried beans, say what?)

Best kept secret in the area. If you're looking for the real thing it doesn't get any better strings here!

Love this place. The best quesabirria, salsas, oysters and mole around. Everything was tender and delicious. Most authentic Mexican food around. You can taste the detail in all their sauce and everything is so fresh

I have tried Boritto several times before and none of them were bad but this time I realized that I was eating a real Boritto steak, also the staff and service were very nice and the atmosphere reminded me of the days I was in Mexico and took the already delicious meal to a different dimension #El pueblıto#3

Consistent good food. The service typically spot on. Avoid server without pad and pen. Comparable mexican pricing. Been going here for years.

Salsas de servicio: Salsa verde: 5/5 Salsa roja: 1/5 sabía demasiado como si usaran humo líquido y se les pasó Salsa naranja: 2/5 sabía a refri Jalapeños curtidos con coliflor: 100/5 lo mejor Frijoles con queso 5/5 Tacos: de buen tamaño y relleno, buen sabor, el de chile relleno que es el más caro le falta sabor y la lechuga y el tomate que traía estaba de más

El lugar se ve muy sucio , los baños estaban asquerosos!!! A mi esposo le salio un pelo en su vaso , a otro chico que venia con nosotros pidio fajitas y en los vegetales le salio un sticker con el codigo de barras , la torta estaba toda quemada la mesera muy irrespetuosa … 0 recomendado 👎👎👎
