“Their prices are really expensive, but they have $12 meal boxes on Doordash, and I ordered one for dinner and felt perfectly and completely satisfied”

“I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped in.”
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.

“I ordered potato tacos.”
I ordered potato tacos. It looks like meat. I winced. But one bite in, I realized that these are excellent potato tacos! $7 bucks! The little quesadillas were just the right size…not those gargantuan flour quesadillas you’ve been made to believe are “authentic”….you’ll love these too.

“I fell upon this restaurant and it looked fantastic.”
I fell upon this restaurant and it looked fantastic. A lot of options so I went with the vegetarian burrito with chips and guacamole. The serving size for everything was amazing. Chips were fresh, slightly salty, and cut large. The guacamole had a great glimmer of heat and was also an amazing portion. I'd put it at 2-3 avocados! Perfect for me! Plus the late hours ensured I could get dinner at 9pm.

“Great customer service!”
Great customer service!! Very friendly and fast service. Food was very tasty! My kids wanted churros and let me tell you they are picky and surprisingly they loved them! The wings were so well flavored. Super spicy but super good! Also had “elote” my favorite!!! Definitely recommend.

“Ordered three steak tacos with everything on it, a double order of rice and the churros with caramel drizzle.”
Ordered three steak tacos with everything on it, a double order of rice and the churros with caramel drizzle! When I say the meat was seasoned to perfection and the in-house sauces was *chefs kiss*. The churros just topped off my entire meal. They were generous with the meat as well. The staff was so sweet and the food came out quickly. I’m all about great service along with great food nowadays. I didn’t receive anything less than 10/10.
