“Nice big burrito bowl!!! Very good! I'm coming back! Only $13.”
“I’ve been going here for years and I can say it’s consistently the best Mexican food in Chicago. Great moles, but I love the tacos pastor and the monster burrito suizos.. Ice cold cervezas too. Live music on many days and now they have great specials on Fridays. Always a ton of parking and friendly service.”
“Excellent! Very pleased with the food. Very authentic vibe and atmosphere, and the food was delicious! Thanks!”
“Quaint out of the way sit down Mexican restaurant with authentic flavors. I've never had steaming hot salsa except for here and it was delicious. The huaraches was soft tender and absolutely loaded with mounds of toppings. I barely got through half and I'm pretty good about finishing my meals. Don't sleep on this place.”
“My new favorite restaurant. Excellent food and service!”
“Super yummy mom and pop restaurant. The salsa comes warm with crunchy chips. They have a wide menu to pick from. I got the frozen margarita it was perfect.”
“La comida deliciosa, las meseras bien, pero hay algo que noto siempre que voy, les falta higiene siempre veo o comida abajo de las mesas y alos lados, o servilletas o popotes y cucharas en el piso, las mesas sucias no las limpian bien, no tienen mucha higiene eso se ve algo sucio para mi..”
“Food has been great! Love spots where we can speak Spanish! Some confusion sometimes with English. Food portions are great here. Flavor is on par!”
“Probably some people were more lucky than me and my friend. Food was okay. Very bad service. I recommended to my waitress to reprint their menus with: taco dinner.. add more details, what exactly means.. tortas, I WAS IN SHOCK! No cheese, no avocado. Why? You should ask to your waitress and probably she will let you know that cheese and avocado are extra, that’s mean.. more money. No wait for a table.. but be ready to wait for good service from your waitress”
“Soy cliente frecuente pero las ultimas veces an sido de mal en peor y esta vez fue la última vez que vuelva a ir a comer a ese lugar la comida cada vez cádese de sabor y te dan lo que ellos quieren pedi unas enchiladas verdes de pollo y va la mesera y me lleva unos chilaquiles con pollo ariba por que el cocinero se equivocó y no quería que yo me tardara en comer y me dice le voy a traer un poste para solucionar el problema el problema no es que quieran solucionar con un postre es que yo pedí enchiladas por qué los totopos que usan en los chilaquiles saben feo y están rancias no me los pude comer por qué sabían feo que lástima que den lo que ellos quieran los frijoles sabían aseados y el arroz frío y duro y según no querían hacerme esperar hubiera preferido esperarme y comer agusto no que no pude comer por qué aparte de todo estaba fría la comida nunca volveré ahí”
“Me gusta la agua de horchata y los pitillos están buenos les recomiendo comer las carnes y los enchilados y chocolate caliente”
