La Cabanita — a Far South Side mexican mainstay. Order the Tacos. The flavors are genuine, nothing diluted. Affordable.

I was on my way home and the bridge was up so I looked up Mexican food near me since I was craving a steak torta and was time restricted, looked at reviews and I went here. Not disappointed at all, I got a steak torta, green sauce, and carrots. I called, picked up, came back and the bridge was still up. The torta was delicious 🤤 plenty of steak in it and veggies in it were fresh. I will definitely go again. Sorry I didn’t take a picture of the torta, as I mentioned I was time restricted so I got home and ate it lol the lady answering the phone nd handing me the food was really nice, excellent customer service.

Ordered every taco and I loved every bite!! I decided to eat their so it can be fresh and both small place but it’s full of flavor. Greeted by a very nice lady and felt welcomed immediately. Would definitely recommend the seasoned steak tacos and El Pastor

“Pros: -Tasty tacos and gorditas with proteins that are charred, spiced and cooked in the authentic Mexican tradition.”
Pros: -Tasty tacos and gorditas with proteins that are charred, spiced and cooked in the authentic Mexican tradition. The green sauce is particularly tasty. :) -Great value for most selections. -Card payments are accepted. Cons: -There are daily specials posted along the wall, but many of them contain typographical errors. The layout also apepars to be random, making it hard to follow. -The burger special is, in my opinion, one of the few items on the menu that wasn't a particularly great deal. The burger itself is small, not particularly hearty; the meal is mostly just fries. -The joint is cozy, so seating is limited.

“This place is really good.”
This place is really good. I rate by the rice,beans, and salsas. It all tasted amazing. There are 3 salsas; green tom, guac, and a red I call Molè sauce (it was perfection). The wife likes her totopos ,chips and salsa didn't get any or saw options.
