“Highly recommended, martha was amazing lovely customer service great steak tacos”
“Everything I've tried so far is good. I like their nachos, crispy tacos, regular tacos the tortillas are so soft, gorditas, tostadas. The ground beef has a lot of flavor, it's filled with vegetables including potaoes. It's so good!”
“Nice little hidden gem the place is small but big taste and great customer service right when I entered i was greeted with kindness and respect I will definitely be coming back here on my next opportunity in the near future ty A++++++”
“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.”
“This was some of the best food I had in years ! Have only ordered twice.. both times flavor was so good with every item.. great prices..I love the seasoned steak .. their tacos are outstanding”
“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.”
“((((Update) portion size went down significantly. Gotta lower the star rating. Still ok, but the portion size was almost cut in half. ))) (((Original message)))the burrito bowl with extra meat and a drink! Huge 2lb container that can feed a few people or 2 hungry adults. $18.50 only!”
“A hidden gem on the far east side of Chicago they have the best chicken tacos and burritos full of flavor and seasoned well, I've had other things on the menu and everything is delicious, get the guacamole salsa for your food you won't be disappointed”
