“Great experience. Had reservations for 2 our server was Marcos. We started with appetizers a large bowl of guacamole and mini chimis. Food was great I had the tampiquean medium rare with a sandia drink. The other dish was a Quesobirria with a sandia drink. Food was Amazing.”

“The Al Pastor tacos were amazing The Carne Asada tacos were phenomenal.”
“Second time visit, just as good as the first. We will be back again, love this neighbourhood place. .”
“I can’t believe the price, the quality of the food, or the fantastic service we received. I ordered the mahi mahi, crispy shrimp, and carne asada tacos. They all were great (carne asada was a little bland for my liking), but I can’t stop thinking about how perfect the crispy shrimp was. Highly recommend!”
“Very average Mexican restaurant but it is popular in Chicago. It’s on lists where people are saying you must try. We came here on a Friday around 5:30pm. There were three of us (1 child included). We had a reservation, and we were sat at a high table against the wall. It was very tight and we had to move the table to fit our small child on that side. The staff didn’t really help and seemed annoyed but other people also had to do this at other tables. It was okay, I got a burrito, it had chicken, and grilled vegetables. Very average. We also got the guacamole and my partner got the shrimp skewers which came with rice and beans. He liked it. He also got the elotes but it was in a bowl without any chips. He liked it. I got a margarita and my partner also got one they were good not great. My son got a taco. There were a lot of kids in the place. The staff served politely and were mostly efficient.”
“Best mexican food and atmosphere hands down!! We love OPC!!💕”
