“Delicious food! sweet staff. And cute place. Está súper buena la comida. Authentic and fun.”
“I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped in. I just randomly stopped as I was driving by. The chips and salsa were the best ever. Chips are long and slightly curved. They were chrisp and had just the right amount of salt on them. Dipped them into to red or green sauce. They were both delicious. I ordered steak tacos. They were also very good. Good quality meat, they were seasoned well, and tasted great. Amongst Chicago's best. For sure.”
